Problem Solving through Programming in C

Week 02 Assignment Solution

1. Which of the following correctly defines a function in C?

a) Block of statements to perform some specific task


b) It is a fundamental modular unit to perform some task
c) It has a name and can be used multiple times
d) All of the above are true

Solution: (d) All of the above are true

Explanation: A function in C is indeed a block of statements designed to perform a


specific task. It acts as a fundamental modular unit, has a name, and can be used
repeatedly.

2. If an integer requires two bytes of storage, what is the maximum value of an unsigned
integer in C?

a) 215 – 1
b) 216 – 1
c) 215
d) 216

Solution: (b) 216 - 1

Explanation: An unsigned integer uses all bits for the value. With 16 bits, the maximum
value is 216 - 1 (65535).

3. Which of the following statements is correct?


I. Keywords are those words whose meaning is already defined by
Compiler.
II. Keywords cannot be used as variable names.
III. There are 32 keywords in C

4. What will be the output of the following code?

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 5, b = 10;
a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
printf("%d %d", a, b);
return 0;
}

a) 10 5
b) 5 10
c) 0 15
d) Compilation error

Solution: (a) 10 5

Explanation: This code swaps the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ without using a temporary
variable.

5. The following code will print _______.

int main() {
int sum = 3 + 6 / 2 + 6 * 2;
printf("%d", sum);
return 0;
}

Solution: 18 (short answer type)

Apply the BODMAS rule to evaluate the expression.

6. What will be the output of the following code?

#include <stdio.h>
#define SQUARE(x) x*x
int main() {
int result = SQUARE(2+3);
printf("%d", result);
return 0;
}
