  • What is the return value from printf() function?

    printf function always returns the number of characters printed by the printf function. Let us see this in brief with an example: main() { int a=10; printf(“%d,printf(“%d %d %d,a,a,a)); } In this above program the inner printf is first called which prints three times the value of a, with space between each value namely 10 10 10. So 5 characters namely 3 value of a namely...

  • Why it is that the left hand side of assignment operator must have a variable?

    It so because only a variable can have operation performed in it. To explain this concept more briefly let us see an example. Consider the following program: main() { int a=10; int b; b=sample(++a++); } sample(c) int c; { printf(“%d”,c); } The above program will not work and would give a error message as LValue Required. This is because of the statement sample(++a++). In...

  • What is the importance of header files?

    The main role of header file is it is used to share information among various files. To put it brief, if we have several functions say 4 functions named as f1, f2, f3, f4 placed in file say sample.c and if all the functions want to get accessed each other all must be placed in the same file sample.c.  In other words if there is a function say f5 placed in another file say example.c and...

  • What is difference between call by value and call by reference in function?

    The arguments passed to function can be of two types namely 1. Values passed 2. Address passed The first type refers to call by value and the second type refers to call by reference. For instance consider program1 main() { int x=50, y=70; interchange(x,y); printf(“x=%d y=%d”,x,y); } interchange(x1,y1) int x1,y1; { int z1; z1=x1; x1=y1; y1=z1; printf(“x1=%d...

  • How does the function call within function get evaluated?

    Suppose we have more than one function called finite number of times then the function gets evaluated from inside out. Let us see this concept with an example. For instance consider a function sample called within it 4 times as given in program below: main() { int a=50; a=sample(a=sample(a=sample(a=sample(a)))); printf(“%d”,a); } sample(a1) int a1; { a1= a1+10; return(a1);...

This is because the function main() returns...

  • How to call C header that is not provided generally by system in C++?

  • What is the default return value of a function?

    The default returns value from a function in int. In other words generally unless explicitly specified the default return value by compiler would be integer value from function. So when a programmer wants other than integer values to be returned from function then it is essential that the programmer takes some steps in doing this namely: 1. Mention eth return type in the calling function and 2....

  • What happens when a variable is not initialized in main function?

    When a variable is not initialized in main function it contains garbage value. This can be well seen from the example below main() { int x; printf( “%d”,x); z= sample() } sample() { printf(“Testing program”); } Output is x=80 Testing program The above program prints a garbage value and the output testing program .This is because the variable...

  • How does the exit () and return () differ

    exit () is used to exit the program as a whole. In other words it returns control to the operating system. After exit () all memory and temporary storage areas are all flushed out and control goes out of program. In contrast the return statement is used to return from a function and return control to the calling function. Also in a program there can be only one exit () statement but a function...

  • How to assign values during declaration of variables

    Declaring variables tells the compiler the data type the variable is assigned and no storage area is allocated during this stage. It is possible to assign values during declaration itself.

    The output is 0 0 1 3 1This is as followsFirst the expression gets reduced asm = -1 && -1 && 0 || 2This is because ++ gets the higher precedence and being postfix operator it is first applied to expression and then only incremented.

  • What is sizeof operator?

    sizeof will return the number of bytes reserved for a variable or data type. The sizeof operator is a compile-time operator that returns an integer value.

  • How Typecasting plays an important role in C

    C allows programmers to do typecasting by placing the type name in parentheses and placing this in front of the value programmers want to change. For instance main() { float a; a = (float)5 / 3; } gives result as 1.666666 . This is because the integer 5 is converted to floating point value before division and the operation between float and integer results in float. Thus from the above...

  • What is the functionality and restrictions of Modulus Operator?

    When a division is performed the remainder of the operation is given by modulus operator. The modulus operator is denoted in c by symbol %.Say for instance we have two integer values x and y and then the operation x % y called as x modulus y gives the result as (x- (x / y) * y). Say if x=18 and y =5 the x % y gives value as (18- (18 / 5) * 5) which gives (18-15) which results in 3 in other words the...
