B - Infinity
C-0
D - Return error
Answer : D
Explanation
It is because ++needs a value and a const variable can’t be modified.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
const int i = 0;
printf("%d\n", i++);
return 0;
}

-2, the one’s compliment of 1 is 1110 (binary) which is equivalent to two’s compliment of 2, ie
-2.
12.What is the output of the following program?
#include<stdio.h>
void swap(int m, int n)
{
int x = m;
m = n;

swap(x,y);
printf("%d %d", x, y);
}
A-35
B-53
C-55
D - Compile error
Answer : B
Explanation
5 3, call by value mechanism can’t alter actual arguments.
#include <stdio.h>
void swap(int m, int n)
{
int x = m;
m = n;
n = x;
}
main()
{
int x=5, y=3;
swap(x,y);
printf("%d %d", x, y);
}
13. First operating system designed using C programming language.

}
A - Hello, World!
B - No output
C - Compile error
D - Runtime error
Answer : C

printf("%d", -1<<1 );
}
A-2
B - -2
C-1
D - -1
Answer : B
Explanation
A negative number stored in two’s compliment of positive number. After shifting we get 1110,
which is equivalent to -2.
16.How do you specify double constant 3.14 as a long double?
A - By using LD after 3.14

B - By using L after 3.14
C - By using DL after 3.14
D - By using LF after 3.14
Answer : B
Explanation
The double constant 3.14 can be converted into long double by adding “L” after the constant
value, i.e; 3.14L.
17. “Stderr” is a standard error.

A - Yes
B - Standard error streams
C - Standard error types
D - Standard error function
Answer : B
Explanation
Standard error stream (Stderr) = Any program use it for error messages and diagnostics issue.
18.In DOS, What is the purpose of the function randomize() in Turbo C?

A - Displays a random number generator with a random value based on time
B - Displays a random number
C - Displays a random number generator in the specified range.
D - Invalid function
Answer : A
Explanation
randomize() picks the current time value as the SEED number to generate random numbers.
19.Choose the correct unary operators in C – a) !, b) ~, c) ^&, d) ++
A - a, b, d
B - a, b, c
C - b, c, d
D - c, d, a
Answer : A
Explanation
In C, these are the unary operators,
Logical NOT = !
Address-of = &
Cast Operator = ( )
Pointer dereference = *
Unary Plus = +
Increment = ++
Unary negation = –
20 - In the given below statement, what does the “arr” indicate?
char *arr[30];
A - arr is a array of function

B - arr is a array of 30 characters
C - arr is a pointer to an array
D - arr is a array of 30 character pointers
Answer : D
Explanation
square parenthesis signify as array at declaration and type is char*, so array of character
pointers.
