c) printf(“\n%d”,*((int *)p+4));
d) None.
18. Would the following program 20. What is the output of this C code?

compile? int main()

main() {
{ char *p = NULL;
int a=10, *j; char *q = 0;
void *k; if (p)
J = k = &a; printf(" p ");
J++; else
K++; printf("nullp");
printf(“\n%u %u”, j, k); if (q)
}
printf("q\n");
else
a) Yes, there is no problem in the
printf(" nullq\n");
code.
}
b) Yes, but void *k is not correct.
A. nullp nullq
c) No, an error on the K++ statement
B. Depends on the compiler
d) No
c. p q
 d. x nullq where x can be p or nullp depending
on the value of NULL

21. What is the output of this C code? 22.What will be the output of following
int main() program ?
{ #include <stdio.h>
int *ptr, a = 10; int main()
ptr = &a; {
*ptr += 1; char *str
printf("%d,%d/n", *ptr, a); []={"AAAAA","BBBBB","CCCCC","DDDD
} D"};
A. 10,10 B. 10,11 C. 11,11 D. 11,10 char **sptr []={str+3,str+2,str+1,str};

23.What will be the output of char ***pp;

following program ? pp=sptr;

++pp;
#include <stdio.h> printf("%s",**++pp+2);
char* strFun(void) return 0;
{ }
char *str="IncludeHelp"; BBBBB CCCCC BBB Error
return str; Answer
} Correct Answer - 3
int main() BBB
{
*str is a array pointer of string, **sptr is array
char *x;
pointer(double pointer) that is pointing to str
x=strFun();
strings in reverse order. ***pp also a pointer
printf("str value = %s",x);
that is pointing sptr base address.
return 0;
++pp will point to 1st index of sptr that contain
}
str value = Garbage value str+2 ("CCCCC").

str value = IncludeHelp in printf("%s",**++pp+2); ++pp will point to

Error str+1, and **++pp, value stored @ str+1
No output ("BBBBB).
Answer str value = IncludeHelp and (**++pp)+2 will point the 2nd index of
"BBBBB", hence BBB will print.
