Technical Questions - C & C++

1. What is wrong in the following problem

#include
main()
{
int i,j;
j = 10;
i = j++ - j++;
printf(%d %d, i,j);
}

ans: 0, 12

2. What is the output of the following problem

#include 
main() 
{
int j;
for(j=0;j<3;j++)
foo();
}
foo() {
static int i = 10;
i+=10;

printf(%d\n,i);
}

/* Out put is (***since static int is used i value is retained between function calls) * 20 * 30* 40*/

3. What is wrong in the following code

#include 
main()
{
char *c;
c = Hello;
printf(%s\n, c);
}

/* ans:- Hello, The code is successfully running */

4. What is the final value of i and how many times loop is Executed ?

#include
main()
{
int i,j,k,l,lc=0;
/* the input is given as 1234 567 */
printf(Enter the number string:<1234 567 \n);
scanf(%2d%d%1d,&i,&j,&k);
for(;k;k--,i++)
for(ll=0;lprintf(%d %d\n,i,l);}
printf(LOOPS= %d\n, lc-1);
}

/* Ans: i = 16, and loop is executed for 169 times */

5. What is the output of the following program

#include 
main() 
{
union {int a;int b;int c;} u,v;
u.a = 10;
u.b = 20;
printf(%d %d \n,u.a,u.b);
}

/* Ans : The latest value assigned to any of the union member will be present in the union members so answer is 20 20*/

6. What is the output of the following program

#include main()
{
float i, j;
scanf(%f %f, &i, &j);

#include 
main()
{
char *str = 12345;
printf(%c %c %c\n, *str, *(str++), *(str++));
}

/* Ans: It is not 1 2 3

#include
#define max(a,b) (ab)?a:b
main()
{
int a,b;
a=3;
b=4;
printf(%d,max(a,b));

}

/* Ans is very simple the coding is just for testing it and output is 4 */

9. What is the output of the following coding

#include
main()
{
int len=4;
char *st=12345678;
for(i=0; i<6; i++)
st = st -len;
printf(%c\n,*st);
}

/* Ans : It will print some junk value */

10. What is the output of the following coding

#include main()
{
func(1);
}
func(int i){static char *str ={ One,Two,Three,Four};
printf(%s\n,str[i++]);
return;
}

/* Ans:- it will give warning because str is pointer to the char butit is initialized with more values if it is not considered then the answer is Two */

11. What is the output of the following coding

#include main()
{
int i; 
for (i=1;i<100; i++)
printf(%d %0x\n,i,i);
}

/* Ans:- i is from 1 to 99 for the first format,

for the second format 1to9, ato f, 10 to 19,1ato1f, 20 to 29, etc */

/* Ans: The answer is st-x=10;

* st-b.id_no=101;

*/

ans = factorial(i);
printf(\nFactorial by recursion = %d\n, ans);
}
int factorial(int n)
{
if (n <= 1) return (1);
else
return ( n * factorial(n-1));
