4. What is the output of this C code?
-
#include <stdio.h> -
void main()
-
{ -
int k = 4;
-
float k = 4;
-
printf("%d", k)
-
}
a) Compile time error
b) 4
c) 4.0000000
d) 4.4
Answer
Answer: a [Reason:] Since the variable k is defined both as integer and as float, it results in an error.
Output:
$ cc pgm8.c
pgm8.c: In function ‘main’:
pgm8.c:5: error: conflicting types for ‘k’
pgm8.c:4: note: previous definition of ‘k’ was here
pgm8.c:6: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘double’
pgm8.c:7: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
5. Which is false ?
a) A variable defined once can be defined again with different scope
b) A single variable cannot be defined with two different types in the same scope
c) A variable must be declared and defined at the same time
d) A variable refers to a location in memory
Answer
Answer: c [Reason:] It is not an error if the variable is declared and not defined. For example – extern declarations.
6. A variable declared in a function can be used in main
a) True
b) False
c) True if it is declared static
d) None of the mentioned
Answer

the above statement is false.
7. The name of the variable used in one function cannot be used in another function
a) True
b) False
c) May be
d) None of the mentioned
Answer
Answer: b [Reason:] Since the scope of the variable declared within a function is restricted only within that function, the same name can be used to declare another variable in another function.
