Q1. Which Code sample will eventually cause the computer to run out of memory?
  • [x]
while(1)
{
    char *smallString = (char *) malloc(10);
}
  • [ ]
long long number = 1;
    while(1)
    number *= 2;
  • [ ]
while(1)
{
    char hugeString[1000000L];
    memset(hugeString, 0, 1000000L);
}
  • [ ]
while(1)
{
    long *bigArray = (long *) malloc(sizeof(long) * 1000);
    memset(bigArray, 1000000, 1000);
    free(bigArray);
}

Q2. What will this code print on the screen?

int f1 (int a, int b)
{
    if (a > b)
    {
        printf("A is greater than B\n");
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
        printf("B is greater than A");
        return 0;
    }
}

main()
{
    if (f1(20,10) || f1(10,20))
        printf("C is fun!\n");
}
  • [x]
A is greater then B
C is fun!
  • [ ]
A is greater then B
B is greater then A
C is fun!
  • [ ]
A is greater then B
B is greater then A
  • Nothing is printed on Screen

Q3. What is the name for calling a function inside the same function?

  • recursion
  • subfunction
  • inner call
  • infinite loop

Q4. What does the declaration of variable c2 demonstrate?

main(){
    char c1 ='a';
    char c2 = c1+10;
}
  • character arithmetic
  • undefined assignment
  • type conversion
  • invalid declaration

Q5. A pointer to void named vptr, has been set to point to a floating point variable named g. What is the valid way to dereference vptr to assign its pointed value to a float variable named f later in this program?

float g;
void *vptr=&g;
  • f = _(float _)vptr;
  • f = (float *)vptr;
  • f = *(float *)vptr;
  • f = *(float)vptr;

Q6. What is this declaration an example of?

    int i;
    struct s *s1;
    struct s *s2;
};
  • a node
  • a linked list

Q7. A C header file is a file with extension .h that contains function declarations and macro definitons to be shared between several source files. Header files are listed using the preprocessing directive #include, and can have one of the following formats: #include <fileA> or #include "fileB". What is the difference between these two formats?

  • The preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in same directory as the source file, and the fileB in a predetermined directory path.
  • The preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in the fixed system directory. It will try to locate fileB in the directory path designated by the -l option added to the command line while compiling the source code.
  • The file using fileA syntax must be system files, of unlimited number. fileB must be a user file at a maximun of one per source file.
  • The preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in a predetermined directory path. It will try to locate fileB in the same directory as the source file along with a custom directory path.

Q8. Using a for loop, how could you write a C code to count down from 10 to 1 and display each number on its own line?

  • [ ]
for (int i = 0; i>=0, i--){
    printf("%d\n", i);
}//end of loop
  • [ ]
int i;
for (i=1; i<=10; i++){
    printf("%d", i);
}
  • [ ]
int i = 10;
while (i>0){
    printf("%d\n", i);
    i--;
}
  • [x]
int i;
for (i= 10; i>0; i--){
    printf("%d\n", i);
}// end of loop

Q12. In this code sample, what is not a problem for C compiler?

main(){

}

  • The declaration of PI needs to say const, not constant.
  • The data type of PI needs to be float not int.
  • The printf statement needs to use PI, not pi.
