Data Types, Constants & Variables, Playing with scanf function, Operators & Expressions

[Q001] 

 (a) VALID
(b) Invalid, since an identifier must begin with a letter or an underscore
(c) VALID
(d) Invalid, since return is a reserved word
(e) Invalid, since an identifier must begin with a letter or an underscore
(f) VALID
(g) Invalid, since an identifier must begin with a letter or an underscore
(h) Invalid, since blank spaces are not allowed
(i) VALID
(j) VALID

 [Q002] 

(a) VALID
(b) VALID
(c) VALID
(d) VALID
(e) Invalid, since escape sequences must be written with a backward slash (i.e. \)
(f) Invalid, since a character constant cannot consist of multiple characters
(g) VALID (null-character escape sequence)
(h) VALID
(i) VALID (Octal escape sequence)
(j) VALID
(k) VALID

[Q003] 

 (a) 'Hi Friends'
 (b) "abc,def,ghi"
 (c) "Qualification
 (d) "4325.76e-8"
 (e) "Don\'t sleep"
 (f) "He said, "You\'re great"
 (g) ""
 (h) " "
 (i) "Rs.100/-"

[Q004]

 (a) Invalid, since illegal character(,)
(b) VALID
(c) VALID
(d) VALID
(e) VALID
(f) VALID
(g) Invalid, since illegal character(blank space)
(h) Invalid, since illegal character(s)
(i) VALID
(j) Invalid, since illegal characters (9, C, F), if intended as an octal constant.
(k) VALID
(l) VALID

[Q005] 

 (k) All of the above

[Q006] 

 (d)123.000000
123. is a valid double value and it is equivalent to 123.000000

[Q007] 
(b)Compile-Time Error
The data type 'integer' doesn't exist. It should be 'int'.
[Q008] 
(c)15
Length of the string 'C For Swimmers' is 14 + Null('\0') = 15 Characters
[Q009] 

 (b)Compile-Time Error
Pre- or Post- increment/decrement operators cannot be used on the constants as shown in the above scenario. But it can be used with variables to increment the contents or address by 1.

[Q010] 
 (c)-15
After computing the size in bytes, the binary operator - (minus) is used to change the sign of the resultant.
[Q011]
(c)1
Negation (!) of non-zero value always returns 0 (zero). Thus 0 + 1 = 1

[Q012] 

 (c)0
Be careful while evaluating such type of expressions. Consider the precedence during computation which plays a major role. Here y/z yields 3 which is equal to 3. Thus the true expression in the ternary operator y/z yields 3. Thus z/=3 or z=2/3 yields 0 (zero) because of integer division. Finally it prints 0 (zero) onto the screen.

[Q013] 

 (c)5 0 25
Negation (!) of non-zero value always returns 0 (zero). Thus the arguments to the printf will be 5 0 25-0. Thus it prints 5 0 25

[Q014]

 (d)300 -200 300 10 4
Be careful while evaluating such type of expression. Precedence plays a major role during computation. Here the short-hand assignment operators precedence is from R->L. Thus it prints 300 -200 300 10 4

[Q015] 

 (b)Failure
Apply the relational & logical operators properly to arrive at the solution. Thus it prints the message 'Failure'.

[Q016] 

  (a)1
Here evaluate the ternary operators carefully. Here !a yields 0 so it enters into the false block and return the value of a. Thus it prints 1.

 [Q017] 
Execute & understand the output format.
[Q018] 
Execute & understand the output format.
 [Q019] 
Execute & understand the output format.
[Q020]
Execute & understand the output format.

[Q021] 

 Execute & understand the output format.

 [Q022] 

 (d)100 300 3
The * (asterisk) in the scanf statement indicates an assignment suppression operator that skips the related value and picks the next value in the input series.
[Q023] 
 (b)Dear Friends
Here the , (comma) is used as the termination character. The scanf statement in the above code accepts the string that contains anything other than the , (comma).
[Q024] 
(b)a=A b= c=B
While accepting we're expecting NO whitespaces between the three different inputs i.e. characters but we've encountered characters in the actual input.
[Q025] 
 (c)5 2.25
Here we're expecting an integer (int) value followed by a whitespace, which is followed by a character 'a', which in turn followed by a whitespace and a float value. But the actual input doesn't meet our requirements hence the only the matched arguments are taken into consideration.
 
[Q026] 
  (b)a=A b=B c=C
We're expecting character inputs separated by whitespaces but the actual input contains string of characters.
[Q027]
(b)C Means Sea
Here access format specifier is used in the scanf statement similar to the access format specifier usage in the printf statements.
 [Q028] 
(a)Sum=480
Here access format specifier is used in the scanf statement similar to the access format specifier usage in the printf statements.
 [Q029] 
(c)Accepts the string that contains anything other than the DIGITS and NEWLINE characters.

^ indicates negation operation.
[Q030]
(c)Accepts the string that contains anything other than the * or asterisk character.
^ indicates negation operation.
