C Test
1. main()

for(i=-:i<N;i++)
arr[i]=i;
minvalue i = .....
Maxvalue i = .....
Ans 0,100 resp
2. for n=2 the following fn returning value is
int fun(int n)
{
for(i = 1;i<=n;i++)
for(j=i;j<=i;j++)
sum=sum+j;
return(sum);
}
Ans 6
4. Calculate sum=1+1+2+1+2+3+1......
Ans i<=x;j<=i
5. for x=2 y=3 z=1
the following fn return
int fun(int n; int y; int z)
{
int sum
for(i=x;i<=y;i++)
for(j=1;j<=z;z++)
sum=sum+z;
return sum
}
Ans 0(check)
6. The values of sum from above fn
for x=0; y=0;z=1 Ans 1
7.how can you insert the following values in stack and numbers
0,20,30,40,50.60
stack [][][][][][]
numb [][][][][][][]

60 50 40 30 20 10
10 20 30 40 50 60
check.
8. # if ndif XYZ
#include "XYZ.h"
#endif
what is meaning ?
Ans:
if XYZ is not defined then only include the header file XYZ.h.
9. p:malloc(int*sizeof(int));
ans: a
10.a=5 b=10 c=7
(a>c)?a:((b>c)?b:c)

return(sum);
} Ans 650
the above fn value for x=150
13.int x;
scanf("%d",x);
what is error in the above program

22. n=2 pow((2.0,n),++n)?
23. #define macro for ( i,g) ?
24. int reg=2 is there any wrong ? write a reason
25. #define max 10
p=&(a+b);
q=*max;
} what is wrong
26. strcat( string,'O');
wrong? werite reason?
27.char *s=char * ....
else (string)....? wrong? write reason
Testing and Maintenance.(will you work in it and what are they)

taken are given.(cp ps pt etc)
Q1) if he takes c what others can be taken ?
Q6)what he can take ?
ans: u (no condition is given on u)
20-25) Analytic question based on positions .
A is above c&d, Q is below c, Q is middle of r&c etc.
now u can answer the 6 questions once u find the corresponding
positions of letters.
