Questions for: Expressions

What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int k, num=30;
    k = (num>5 ? (num <=10 ? 100 : 200): 500);
    printf("%d\n", num);
    return 0;
}
A:
200
B:
30
C:
100
D:
500
Answer: B

Step 1: int k, num=30; here variable k and num are declared as an integer type and variable num is initialized to '30'.
Step 2: k = (num>5 ? (num <=10 ? 100 : 200): 500); This statement does not affect the output of the program. Because we are going to print the variable num in the next statement. So, we skip this statement.
Step 3: printf("%d\n", num); It prints the value of variable num '30'
Step 3: Hence the output of the program is '30'

What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i=2;
    printf("%d, %d\n", ++i, ++i);
    return 0;
}
A:
3, 4
B:
4, 3
C:
4, 4
D:
Output may vary from compiler to compiler
Answer: D

The order of evaluation of arguments passed to a function call is unspecified.

Anyhow, we consider ++i, ++i are Right-to-Left associativity. The output of the program is 4, 3.

In TurboC, the output will be 4, 3.

In GCC, the output will be 4, 4.

What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int x=55;
    printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10);
    return 0;
}
A:
1, 40, 1
B:
1, 55, 1
C:
1, 55, 0
D:
1, 1, 1
Answer: A

Step 1: int x=55; here variable x is declared as an integer type and initialized to '55'.
Step 2: printf("%d, %d, %d\n", x<=55, x=40, x>=10);
In printf the execution of expressions is from Right to Left.
here x>=10 returns TRUE hence it prints '1'.
x=40 here x is assigned to 40 Hence it prints '40'.
x<=55 returns TRUE. hence it prints '1'.
Step 3: Hence the output is "1, 40, 1".

What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a=100, b=200, c;
    c = (a == 100 || b > 200);
    printf("c=%d\n", c);
    return 0;
}
A:
c=100
B:
c=200
C:
c=1
D:
c=300
Answer: C

Step 1: int a=100, b=200, c;
Step 2: c = (a == 100 || b > 200);
becomes c = (100 == 100 || 200 > 200);
becomes c = (TRUE || FALSE);
becomes c = (TRUE);(ie. c = 1)
Step 3: printf("c=%d\n", c); It prints the value of variable i=1
Hence the output of the program is '1'(one).

What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
