In this site, we have discussed various type of C programs till date and from now on, we will move further by looking at the C aptitude questions.

In the coming days, we will post C aptitude questions, answers and explanation for interview preparations.

The C aptitude questions and answers for those questions along with explanation for the interview related queries.

We hope that this questions and answers series on C program will help students and freshers who are looking for a job, and also programmers who are looking to update their aptitude on C program.
Some of the illustrated examples will be from the various companies, and IT industry experts.

C aptitude 18.1

  main()
            {
            char *str1="abcd";
            char str2[]="abcd";
            printf("%d %d %d",sizeof(str1),sizeof(str2),sizeof("abcd"));
            }

Answer: 2 5 5

Explanation: In first sizeof, str1 is a character pointer so it gives you the size of the pointer variable. In second sizeof the name str2 indicates the name of the array whose size is 5 (including the ‘’ termination character). The third sizeof is similar to the second one.

C aptitude 18.2

  main()
            {
            char not;
            not=!2;
            printf("%d",not);
            }

Answer: 0
Explanation:! is a logical operator. In C the value 0 is considered to be the boolean value FALSE, and any non-zero value is considered to be the boolean value TRUE. Here 2 is a non-zero value so TRUE. !TRUE is FALSE (0) so it prints 0.

C aptitude 18.3

    #define FALSE -1
            #define TRUE   1
            #define NULL   0
            main() {
               if(NULL)
                        puts("NULL");
               else if(FALSE)
                        puts("TRUE");
               else
                        puts("FALSE");
               }

Answer: TRUE

Explanation: The input program to the compiler after processing by the preprocessor is,
main()
{
  if(0)
    puts(“NULL”);
  else if(-1)
    puts(“TRUE”);
  else
    puts(“FALSE”);
 }
Preprocessor doesn’t replace the values given inside the double quotes. The check by if condition is boolean value false so it goes to else. In second if -1 is boolean value true hence “TRUE” is printed.
