Answer [=]
C
12) What is the output
of C program.?
int main()
{
int a=123;
printf("*%06d*",a);
return 0;
}
A) *123*
B) *6123*
C) *000123*
D) *006123*
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
%6d reservers 6 columns. %Zero6d causes
Remaining columns will be filled with Zero.
13) What is the
output of C program.?
int main()
{
int a=123456;
printf("*%03d*",a);
return 0;
}
A) *123*
B) *6123*
C) *123456*
D) *012345*
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
%3d reserves three columns. But 123456 is
more than 3 columns. So width 3 will be ignored.
14) What is the
output of C program.?
int main()
{
int a=6543;
printf("*%5d,*%-5d*",a,a);
return 0;
}
A)
*56543,*56543*
B)
* 6543,*6543 *
C)
*6543 ,* 6543*
D)
*6543,*6543*
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
%5d reserves 5 columns. 6543 is aligned
right. So One Space is filled in the first column. %-5d aligns 6543 left. So
right side one Space is filled as 6543 is only a 4 digit number.
15) What is the
output of C program.?
int main()
{
float a=654.123456f;
printf("%3.3f,%3.2f",a,a);
return 0;
}
A) 654,654
B) 654.123456,654.123456
C) 654.123,654.12
D) 654.000,654.00
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
%3.3 reserves 3 columns. But the
654.123456 is a 9 column number. So only .3 will be treated as important to
print 3 digit precision number. .2 prints number with 2 digit precision.
16) What is the
output of C program.?
int main()
{
char str[]="123";
printf("*%4s*%-4s*",str,str);
return 0;
}
A) *4123*4123*
B) * 123*123 *
C) *123 * 123*
D) *123*123*
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
%4s reserves 4 columns. If the string
length is less you can see spaces on the left side. %-4s also reserves 4
columns but aligns content on the right side.
17) Choose a
correct statement about sprintf and sscanf functions.?
char str[20];
A) sprintf(str,"formatstring",variables)
prints output to console. sscanf(str,"formatstring",&variables)
scans keyboard input and copies to str.
B) sprintf(str,"formatstring",variables)
prints output to string str.
sscanf(str,"formatstring",&variables) scans keyboard input and
prints to console
C) sprintf(str,"formatstring",variables)
prints output to string str.
sscanf(str,"formatstring",&variables) scans input from str itself
and assigns data to &variables.
D) None of the above
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
Both functions SSCANF or SPRINTF avoid
getting input from keyboard or displaying on Console / Screen.
18) What is the
output of C program.?
int main()
{
char ch='A';
ch=getchar();
putchar(ch);
return 0;
}//input= S
A) A
B) B
C) S
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
getchar() reads one character from
keyboard. putchar(ch) prints one character.
19) Choose a
correct C statement.?
A) SCANF can accept all types of data from keyboard
including numbers and strings
B) GETS can accept only one String of any length and
any number of words. GETCHAR can accept only one character constant from
keyboard.
C) SCANF can accept only single word Strings
D) All the above
Answer [=]
D
20) What is the
output of c program with %* operator.?
int main()
{
char kh;
scanf("%*c %c",&kh);
putchar(kh);
return 0;
}//input=G H
A) G
B) H
C) A
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
%* ignores the entered argument. So here G
is ignored. 2nd argument, H is accepted by variable kh. Remember, You have to
enter all arguments corresponding to each % symbol.
