(2) What will be output if you will compile and execute the following c code?

void main(){
int huge*p=(int huge*)0XC0563331;
int huge*q=(int huge*)0xC2551341;
*p=200;
printf("%d",*q);
}

(a)0
(b)Garbage value
(c)null
(d) 200
(e)Compiler error

Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Physical address of huge pointer p
Huge address: 0XC0563331
Offset address: 0x3331
Segment address: 0XC056
Physical address= Segment address * 0X10 + Offset address
=0XC056 * 0X10 +0X3331
=0XC0560 + 0X3331
=0XC3891
Physical address of huge pointer q
Huge address: 0XC2551341
Offset address: 0x1341
Segment address: 0XC255
Physical address= Segment address * 0X10 + Offset address
=0XC255 * 0X10 +0X1341
=0XC2550 + 0X1341
=0XC3891
Since both huge pointers p and q are pointing same physical address so content of q will also same as
content of q.

(13) What will be output if you will compile and execute the following c code?
void main(){
int a=-12;
a=a>>3;
printf("%d",a);
}

(a) -4
(b) -3
(c) -2
(d) -96
(e) Compiler error

Answer :( c)
Explanation:
Binary value of 12 is: 00000000 00001100
Binary value of -12 wills 2’s complement of 12 i.e.

So binary value of -12 is: 11111111 11110100

Right shifting rule:

Rule 1: If number is positive the fill vacant spaces in the left side by 0.
Rule 2: If number is negative the fill vacant spaces in the left side by 1.
In this case number is negative. So right shift all the binary digits by three space and fill vacant space by
1 as shown following figure:

Since it is negative number so output will also a negative number but its 2’s complement.
Hence final out put will be:

And its decimal value is: 2

Hence output will be:-2

}
(a) 3
(b) 21
(c) 17
(d) 7
(e) Compiler error

Answer: (d)
Explanation:
In c comma behaves as separator as well as operator.
a=1, 3, 15;
b= (2, 4, 6);
In the above two statements comma is working as operator. Comma enjoys least precedence and
associative is left to right.
Assigning the priority of each operator in the first statement:

Hence 1 will assign to a.

Assigning the priority of each operator in the second statement:

C pointers interview questions and answers

Frequently asked technical objective types multiple choice pointer questions with explanation
of placement in c programming language
Note: Linux GCC compilers and Visual C++ compiler doesn't support far and huge pointers.

1.
What will be output of following program?

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int a = 320;
char *ptr;
ptr =( char *)&a;
printf("%d ",*ptr);
return 0;
}
(A) 2

(B) 320

(C) 64

(D) Compilation error

(E) None of above

Output

E x p l a n a t i o n :

Turbo C++ 3.0: 64

Turbo C ++4.5: 64

Linux GCC: 64

Visual C++: 64

As we know int is two byte data byte while char is one byte data byte. char pointer can keep the address
one byte at time.

Binary value of 320 is 00000001 01000000 (In 16 bit)

Memory representation of int a = 320 is:

So ptr is pointing only first 8 bit which color is green and Decimal value is 64.

Memory representation

Here 6024, 8085, 9091 is any arbitrary address, it may be different.

Value of k is content of k in memory which is 8085

Value of *k means content of memory location which address k keeps.

k keeps address 8085 .

Content of at memory location 8085 is 6024

In the same way **k will equal to 3.

Short cut way to calculate:

Rule: * and & always cancel to each other

i.e. *&a = a

So *k = *(&j) since k = &j

*&j = j = 6024

And
**k = **(&j) = *(*&j) = *j = *(&i) = *&i = i = 3

Visual C++: Compilation error

Far address of p and q are representing same physical address.

Physical address of 0x55550005 = (0x5555) * (0x10) + (0x0005) = 0x55555

Physical address of 0x53332225 = (0x5333 * 0x10) + (0x2225) = 0x55555

*p = 80, means content at memory location 0x55555 is assigning value 25

(*p)++ means increase the content by one at memory location 0x5555 so now content at memory
location 0x55555 is 81

*q also means content at memory location 0x55555 which is 26

Since * and & always cancel to each other.

i.e. *&a = a

so *&p = p which store address of integer i

&*p = &*(&i) //since p = &i

= &(*&i)

= &i

So second output is also address of i

Far address of p and q are representing same physical address. Physical address of

0x55550005 = 0x5555 * ox10 + ox0005 = 0x55555

Physical address of

0x53332225 = 0x5333 * 0x10 + ox2225 = 0x55555

*p = 25, means content at memory location 0x55555 is assigning value 25

(*p)++ means to increase the content by one at memory the location 0x5555 so now content of memory
location at 0x55555 is 26

*q also means content at memory location 0x55555 which is 26
