1 Given the following code fragment:

	main()
	{
		int row[20],i,sum=0;
		int *p=row;
		for(i=0;i<20;i++)
			*(p+i)=1;
		for(i=0;i<20;i+=sizeof(int))
			sum+=*(p+i);
		printf("sum=%d\n",sum);
	}
	

What will be the result of execution?

A sum=10
B sum=40
C sum=60
D sum=190

Answer: Option [A]
2 What is the missing statement in the following function which copies string x into string y?

	void strcpy (char *x, char *y)
	{
		while (*y!='\0')
		................./*missing statement*/
		*x='\0';
	}
	

What will be the result of execution?

A x=y
B *x++=*y++
C (*x)++=(*y)++
D none of these

Answer: Option [B]

Pointer variable char *x is pointing to a location and the char *y is assigned to that location. If we assume the missing statement is *x++=*y++ then both the variables point to the next respective location till null ('\0') found.

	char *ptr;
	char myString[]="abcdefg";
	ptr=myString
	ptr+=5;
	

The pointer ptr points to which string?

A fg
B efg
C defg
D cdefg

Answer: Option [A]

ptr+=5 means ptr=ptr+5

That means the pointer variable is incremented by 5. Hence it is pointing to the 6th location. i.e. fg
