ASSIGNMENT-7 SOLUTION
1. The searching operation in an array is done using
a) Key and index
b) Only key
c) Only index
d) None of these
Solution: (a) Both key and array index are used to perform search operation in arrays.
2. The last character of a string is
a) \n
b) \0
c) \b
d) \t
Solution: (b) \0 is the indicator of the end of the string.
3. The right method of initializing a 2D array is
a) int abc[2][2] = {1, 2, 3, 4}
b) int abc[][] = {1, 2, 3 ,4}
c) int abc[2][] = {1, 2, 3 ,4}
d) all of the above
Solution: (a) The valid initialization is option (a). Next two are invalid declaration because
the second dimension must be specified.
4. Applications of multidimensional array are?
a) Matrix-Multiplication
b) Minimum Spanning Tree
c) Finding connectivity between nodes
d) All of the mentioned
Solution: (d) For all of the above cases, multi-dimensional arrays are used.
5. In C, the placement of elements of a two dimensional array is
a) Row wise
b) Column wise
c) Diagonal wise
d) Bottom to top wise
Solution: (a) In C the placement of 2D array in memory is row wise.
6. If the starting address of an float array Arr[10][10] is 2000, what would be the memory
address of the element Arr[5][6]? (float takes 4 bytes of memory)
a) 2268
b) 2120
c) 2224
d) 2144
Solution: (c) If ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ denotes the starting address, number of columns and size in
bytes for each element respectively of array Arr[][], then the location of Arr[i][j] can be
calculated as
ASSIGNMENT-7 SOLUTION
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = 𝑎𝑎 + (𝑖𝑖 ∗ 𝑏𝑏 + 𝑗𝑗) ∗ 𝑐𝑐
Thus the address of Arr[5][6] is 2000+(5*10+6)*4=2224
7. What will be the output of the code below?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int disp[2][4] = {{5, 6, 8, 2}, {4, 5, 3, 7}};
printf("%d\n", disp[1][0]);
return 0;
}
Solution: 4
8. What is the output of the following C code?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int ary[][3] = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};
printf("%d\n", ary[2][0]);
return 0;
}
a) Compile time error
b) 7
c) 1
d) 2
Solution: (b) In the initialization method of a multidimention array, it must have bounds for
all dimensions except the first.
9. Find the output of the following C program.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char a[10][8] = {"hi", "hello", "fellows"};
printf("%s", a[2]);
return 0;
}
a) fellows
b) h
c) fello
d) Compiler error
Solution: (a) a[2] indicates the 3rd string of the 2D array. Thus “fellows” will be printed.
10. If the two strings s1 and s2 are identical, then strcmp(char *s1, char *s2) function
returns
a) 1
b) -1
c) 0
ASSIGNMENT-7 SOLUTION
d) Any Nonzero values
Solution: (c) strcmp (const char *s1, const char *s2);
The strcmp return an int value that is
if s1 < s2 returns a value < 0
if s1 == s2 returns 0
if s1 > s2 returns a value > 0
11. What will be the output?
# include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str1[] = "Week-7-Assignment";
char str2[] = {'W', 'e', 'e', 'k', '-', '7', '-', 'A', 's','s','i','g','n','m','e','n','t'};
int n1 = sizeof(str1)/sizeof(str1[0]);
int n2 = sizeof(str2)/sizeof(str2[0]);
printf("n1 = %d, n2 = %d", n1, n2);
return 0;
}
a) n1=18, n2=17
b) n1=18, n2=18
c) n1=17, n1=17
d) n1=17, n2=18
Solution: (a) The size of str1 is 18 and size of str2 17.
When an array is initialized with string in double quotes, compiler adds a ‘\0’ at the end.
12. Consider the following C program segment:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char p[20];
char s[] = "string";
int length = strlen(s);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++)
p[i] = s[length - i];
printf("%s", p);
return 0;
}
The output would be:
a) gnirts
ASSIGNMENT-7 SOLUTION
b) gnirt
c) string
d) no output is printed
Solution: (d)
Let us consider below line inside the for loop p[i] = s[length — i];
For i = 0, p[i] will be s[6 - 0] and s[6] is ‘\0′
So p[0] becomes ‘\0’. It doesn’t matter what comes in p[1], p[2]….. as P[0] will not change
for i >0. Nothing is printed if we print a string with first character ‘\0′
13. What will be the value of ‘i’ after the execution of the C code given
below?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
static char str1[] = "dills";
static char str2[20];
static char str3[] = "daffo";
int i;
i = strcmp(strcat(str3, strcpy(str2, str1)), "daffodills");
return 0;
}
a) 0
b) 1
c) -1
d) None
Solution: (a) 0
strcat(str3, strcpy(str2, str1)) makes it “daffodills”, hence strcmp(“daffodills”, “daffodills”)=0
14. What will be the output?
# include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[2][3] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
int i = 0, j = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 2; i++)
for (j = 2; j >=0; j--)
printf("%d", a[i][j]);
return 0;
}
Solution: 321004
ASSIGNMENT-7 SOLUTION
In a[2][3] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; only 4 values are given. The rest will be taken as 0. So, finally
a[2][3] = {{1, 2, 3}, {4,0,0}}; So, 321004 will be printed as per the given for loop.
15. What will be the output?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
char a[] = "";
if(printf("%s", a))
printf("The string is empty");
else
printf("The string is not empty");
return 0;
}
a) The string is empty
b) The string is not empty
c) Error
d) None
Solution: (b) The string is not empty
