1) What is the Priority among (*, /, %), (+, -) and (=) C Operators.?
A) (*, /, %) > (+, -) < (=)
B) (*, /, %) < (+, -) < (=)
C) (*, /, %) > (+, -) > (=)
D) (*, /, %) < (+, -) (+, -) == (=)
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
Assignment operator in C has the least priority.
2) What is the output of the C statement.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 4 + 4/2*5 + 20;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 40
B) 4
C) 34
D) 54
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
/ and * has equal priority. But associativity is from L to R.
4 + 2*5 + 20
4 + 10 + 20 = 34
3) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 10 + 5 * 2 * 8 / 2 + 4;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 124
B) 54
C) 23
D) 404
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
10 + 10*8/2 + 4
10 + 80/2 + 4
10 + 40 + 4 = 54
4) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 4 + 5/2*10 + 5;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 29
B) 5
C) 4
D) 34
Answer [=]
A
Explanation:
5/2 is 2 only because both numerator and denominator are integers. So only int value i.e 2 is the result.
4 + 2 * 10 + 5
4 + 20 + 5 = 29.
5) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 10 + 2 * 12 /(3*2) + 5;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 31
B) 19
C) 11
D) 29
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
Paranthesis changes the associativity of operators.
10 + 2 * 12 / (3*2) + 5;
10 + 24 / (3*2) + 5;
10+ 24/6 + 5;
10 + 4 + 5 = 19;
6) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 10 + 2 * 12 / 3 * 2 + 5;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 19
B) 31
C) 11
D) 25
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
10 + 2 * 12 / 3 * 2 + 5;
10 + 24/3*2 + 5;
10 + 8*2 + 5;
10 + 16 + 5 = 31;
7) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
float a=10.0;
a = a % 3;
printf(“%f”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 0
B) 1
C) 1.000000
D) Compiler error.
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:
You can use the operator Modulus Division % with only integers.
error: invalid operands to binary % (have ‘float’ and ‘int’)
a = a % 3;
^
8) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
float a=10.0;
a = (int)a % 3;
printf(“%f”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 0
B) 1
C) 1.000000
D) Compiler Error.
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
Type casting from float to int is done by (int).
(int)10.000000 = 10;
10%3 = 1. Reminder of the division of 10 by 3.
%f in printf prints it as 1.000000.
9) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a=0;
a = 14%-5 – 2;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 0
B) -4
C) -2
D) 2
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:
14%5 = 4 ( Reminder)
14 % -5 = 4. Yes sign of the reminder is the sign of Numerator.
4- 2 = 2;
10) What is the output of the C Program.?
int main()
{
int a= 3 + 5/2;
printf(“%d”, a);
return 0;
}
A) 3
B) 2
C) 5
D) Can not assign an expression to variable at the time of declaration.
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
Assignment Operator = in C language has the least priority. So the right hand side expression is evaluated first and then assigned to the left side variable.
a = 3 + 5/2;
a = 3 + 2;
a = 5;
