C operator questions with answers

(1) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ float a=0.7; if(a<0.7){ printf("C"); } else{ printf("C++"); } return 0; } Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: c Turbo C ++4.5: c Linux GCC: c Visual C++: c Explanation: 0.7 is double constant (Default). Its binary value is written in 64 bit. Binary value of 0.7 = (0.1011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 ) Now here variable a is a floating point variable while 0.7 is double constant. So variable a will contain only 32 bit value i.e. a = 0.1011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 while 0.7 = 0.1011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011 0011.... It is obvious a < 0.7 --------------------------------------------------------(2)

What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int i=5,j; j=++i+++i+++i; printf("%d %d",i,j); return 0; } Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: 8 24 Turbo C ++4.5: Compilation error Linux GCC: Compilation error Visual C++: Compilation error Explanation: Rule :- ++ is pre increment operator so in any arithmetic expression it first increment the value of variable by one in whole expression then starts assigning the final value of variable in the expression. Compiler will treat this expression j = ++i+++i+++i; as i = ++i + ++i + ++i; Initial value of i = operator final value Now final value of i variable as shown in 5 due to three pre increment of i=8. i.e. 8 will assigned to each the following figure:

So, j=8+8+8 j=24 and i=8 ---------------------------------------------------------

(5) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> void main(){ int x; x=10,20,30; printf("%d",x); return 0; } Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: 10 Turbo C ++4.5: 10 Linux GCC: 10 Visual C++: 10 Explanation : Precedence table: Operator = , Precedence More than , Least Associative Right to left Left to right

Since assignment operator (=) has more precedence than comma operator .So = operator will be evaluated first than comma operator. In the following expression x = 10, 20, 30 First 10 will be assigned to x then comma operator will be evaluated. ------------------------------------------------------(9) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int x=100,y=20,z=5; printf("%d %d %d");

return 0;

Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: 5 20 100 Turbo C ++4.5: 5 20 100 Linux GCC: Garbage values Visual C++: 5 100 20 By default x, y, z are auto type data which are stored in stack in memory. Stack is LIFO data structure. So in stack first stores 100 then 20 then 5 and program counter will point top stack i.e. 5. Default value of %d in printf is data which is present in stack. So output is revere order of declaration. So output will be 5 20 100. --------------------------------------------------------(11) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int a; a=sizeof(!5.6); printf("%d",a); return 0; }

Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: 2 Turbo C ++4.5: 2 Linux GCC: 4 Visual C++: 4
Explanation: ! is negation operator it return either integer 0 or 1. ! Any operand = 0 if operand is non zero. ! Any operand = 1 if operand is zero. So, !5.6 = 0 Since 0 is integer number and size of integer data type is two byte. --------------------------------------------------------

(12) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ float a; (int)a= 45; printf("%d,a); return 0; }

Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: Compilation error Turbo C ++4.5: Compilation error Linux GCC: Compilation error Visual C++: Compilation error
Explanation: After performing any operation on operand it always return some constant value. (int) i.e. type casting operator is not exception for this. (int) a will return one constant value and we cannot assign any constant value to another constant value in c. (int)a = 45; is equivalent to 3456 = 45 ( Here 3456 in any garbage value of int(a)). -------------------------------------------------------(3) What will be output of the following program? #include<stdio.h> int main(){ int i=1; i=2+2*i++; printf("%d",i); return 0; } Output: Turbo C++ 3.0: 5 Turbo C ++4.5: 5

Linux GCC: 5 Visual C++: 5 Explanation: i++ i.e. when postfix increment operator is used any expression the it first assign the its value in the expression the it increments the value of variable by one. So, i = 2 + 2 * 1 i = 4 Now i will be incremented by one so i = 4 + 1 = 5 ---------------------------------------------------------
