16-Bit Integer Range in C Compiler

The document discusses integer ranges in 16-bit compilers and recursive functions in C programs. It provides explanations and answers for three multiple choice questions: 1) the allowable integer range for 16-bit compilers is -32768 to 32767, 2) a program that recursively calls the main function without a base case will result in the output printing indefinitely, and 3) C programs require at least one function.

1) What is the 16-bit compiler allowable range for integer constants?

a. -3.4e38 to 3.4e38
b. -32767 to 32768
c. -32668 to 32667
d. -32768 to 32767

Answer: (d) -32768 to 32767

Explanation: In a 16-bit C compiler, we have 2 bytes to store the value.

o The range for signed integers is -32768 to 32767.


o The range for unsigned integers is 0 to 65535.
o The range for unsigned character is 0 to 255.

Study the following program:

1. main()  
2. {printf("javatpoint");  
3. main();}  

What will be the output of this program?

a. Wrong statement
b. It will keep on printing javatpoint
c. It will Print javatpoint once
d. None of the these

Answer: (b) It will keep on printing javatpoint

Explanation: In this program, the main function will call itself again and again.
Therefore, it will continue to print javatpoint.

3) What is required in each C program?

a. The program must have at least one function.


b. The program does not require any function.
c. Input data
d. Output data
Answer: (a) The program must have at least one function.

Explanation: Any C program has at least one function, and even the most trivial
programs can specify additional functions. A function is a piece of code. In other words,
it works like a sub-program.
