Solutions To C Coding Contest

This document contains the answers to a C programming contest with multiple choice and true/false questions on C syntax, data types, operators, and functions. It also includes suggestions for improving C programs related to matrix multiplication, sorting, and swapping variables. Finally, it discusses operating systems and asks clarifying questions about viruses, memory usage, and dynamic tools.

ANSWERS TO C CONTEST

PART 1:

1]d] none of the above. It is an error since the external variable has not been
defined. It is only declared.

2]b] 5. The float 5.99999 is downsized to integer variable (the fractional


part is neglected).

3] The compiler reports an error telling that the prototype and function does
not match. The compiler takes the “display( );” in main as prototype and
not function call.

4] a]515.

5] a] Hi. It is because any fractional value is stored as double precision


value.

6] d] 7. Comma operator has left to right precedence.

7] c] 4 8 10. 'f' and 'l' typecasts the double precision number 3.14 to single
precision value and long double respectively.

8] Error: Nested comments are not allowed in C.

9] 1 1 -1 -1. '%' operator takes only sign of numerator into account.

10] 1. The return value of relational operators is one if true and zero if false.
But any non-zero input is true and zero input is false in C.

11] Error: Syntax of switch is wrong. It is only default.

12] a=12.56
area=12.00

13] 4 [Link] gcc integer is 4 bytes since it is 4 bytes.

14] d] recursive calls are challenging(infinetely...)

15] b] It runs an infinite loop without printing anything.

16] d]program runs into infinite loop since it is post decrement which never
happens. 5 is printed infinitely.

17] 20 10

18] c]10

19] Error: Continue keyword cannot be usedin switch statement.

20] c] 20 10. In C, variables cannot be defined in between a code but can be


definetely declared at start of a block.

PART 2:

1] The base addresses of the matrices to be multiplied is supposed to be sent


to the function in which the multiplication takes place. Collect the base
address of result in a pointer and display it.

2] Use a flag in the swap part of program. If flag is set go ahead else the
result is sorted.

3] If a and b are the two variables, use the following three statements:
a=a+b; b=a+b;
b=a-b; OR a=b-a;
a=a-b; b=b-a;

4] If we use union the data field must be same as pointer field. In structure
we can have any data field.

PART C:

1] b] Solaris c]Linux a] Windows


Windows is pretty unstable compared to UNIX variants. Solaris has a
larger uptime because of the predictive self-healing feature in it.

2] a] No all programs require some memory, however small at run-time.


b] Yes most of dynamic tools can be plugged into programs at run-time.

3] a] There are no viruses for Solaris.


b] There are many. We leave it to you guys (create, if you want a few).

4] They are mail clients.

(Please do contact Ananth or Jayanth for further clarifications).
