    The document contains 5 multiple choice questions about C pointers. 1. The first question asks about the result of summing elements pointed to by a pointer incremented through an array. The answer is sum=10. 2. The second question asks about the missing statement to copy one string to another using pointers. The answer is *x++=*y++. 3. The third question asks what string a pointer points to after being incremented. The answer is the string "fg". 4. The fourth question asks the output of a program calculating the difference of two pointers. The answer is 5. 5. The fifth question asks about the relative sizes of float and int pointers. The

    C Pointer MCQs - Multiple Choice Questions with Answers

    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 & Explanation

    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 & Explanation

    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.

    3.

    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 & Explanation

    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

    4.

    Output of the following program will be

    main()
    {
    int a[]={1,2,9,8,6,3,5,7,8,9};
    int *p=a+1;
    int *q=a+6;
    printf("\n%d",q-p);
    }

    [A] 9
    [B] 5

    [C] 2

    [D] None of these

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer: Option [B]

    5.

    Given float *pf; int *pi; Which of the


    following is true?

    [A] sizeof(pf) > sizeof(pi)

    [B] sizeof(pi) < sizeof(pf)

    [C] sizeof(pf) == sizeof(pi)

    [D] None of these above

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer: Option [C]
