1.

Point out error, if any, in the following program
main()
{
int i=1;
switch(i)
{
case 1:
printf("\nRadioactive cats have 18 half-lives");
break;
case 1*2+4:
printf("\nBottle for rent -inquire within");
break;
}
}

2.

Point out the error, if any, in the following program
main()
{
int a=10,b;

8. printf("\nGobbledygook");
9. }
a) line 1 b) line 5 c) line 6 d) line 7
7.

What is the type of the variable b in the following declaration?
#define FLOATPTR float*
FLOATPTR a,b;
a) float b) float pointer c) int d) int pointer
8.

In the following code;
#include
main()
{
FILE *fp;
fp= fopen("trial","r");
}
fp points to:
a) The first character in the file.
b) A structure which contains a "char" pointer which points to the first character in the file.
c) The name of the file. d) None of the above.
9.

We should not read after a write to a file without an intervening call to fflush(), fseek() or rewind() < TRUE/FALSE>
Ans. True
10.

If the program (myprog) is run from the command line as myprog 1 2 3 , What would be the output?

for(i=0;i j=j+ atoi(argv[i]);
printf("%d",j);
}
a) 1 2 3 b) 6 c) error d) "123"
12.

If the following program (myprog) is run from the command line as myprog monday tuesday wednesday thursday,
