Question 9
Back to Exercise
What is the output of the following C program?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
char s[8] = "hi";
printf("%zu %zu %d\n", sizeof s, strlen(s), s[5]);
return 0;
}- A 8 2 0 Correct
- B 3 2 0
- C 8 2 garbage
- D 8 8 0
Correct Answer: Option A
The array has the declared size, 8 bytes. The literal fills the first 3 (h, i, \0) and, as with any initializer, the remaining elements are set to 0 – so s[5] is 0, not garbage.
