#include<stdio.h> main() { short unsigned int i = 0; printf("%u\n", i--); } Answer : A
Explanation
0, with post decrement operator value of the variable will be considered as the expressions value and later gets decremented.
Q 9 - What is the output of the below code snippet?
#include<stdio.h> main() { unsigned x = 5, y=&x, *p = y+0; printf("%u",*p); } Answer : D
Explanation
5, as p holds the address of x which is y+0
Q 10 - What is your comment on the below C statement?
signed int *p=(int*)malloc(sizeof(unsigned int));
C - Memory will be allocated but cannot hold an int value in the memory
Answer : D
Explanation
Option (d), as the size of int and unsigned is same, no problem in allocating memory.

HelloHi, both the if statements expression evaluates to be true.
Q 14 - What is the output of the below code snippet?
#include<stdio.h> main() { for(;;)printf("Hello"); } Answer : A
Explanation
infinite loop, with second expression of for being absent it is considered as true by default.
Q 15 - What is the output of the below code snippet?
#include<stdio.h> main() { for()printf("Hello"); } Answer : D
Explanation
Compiler error, semi colons need to appear though the expressions are optional for the for loop.
Q 16 - What is the output of the below code snippet?
#include<stdio.h> main() { for(1;2;3) printf("Hello"); } Answer : A
Explanation
infinite loop, as the second expression is non-0, hence the condition is always true.
Answer : D
Explanation
-2, the ones compliment of 1 is 1110 (binary) which is equivalent to twos compliment of 2, ie -2.

Q 19 - What is the output of the following code snippet?
#include<stdio.h> main() { int *p = 15; printf("%d",*p); } Answer : C
Explanation
Runtime error, as the pointer variable is not holding proper address, writing/reading the data from the same raises runtime error.
