SEQUENCE CONTROL AND EXPRESSION
Viva Voce on Sequence control & expression
Q1. Describe static function with its usage?
Ans) A function, which has a function definition prefixed with a static keyword is defined as a static function. The static function should call within the same source code.
Q2. Describe Wild Pointers in C?
Ans) Uninitialized pointers in the C code are known as Wild Pointers. These are a point to some arbitrary memory location and can cause bad program behaviour or program crash.
Q3. What is the difference between ++a and a++?
Ans) ‘++a” is called prefixed increment and the increment will happen first on a variable. ‘a++’ is called postfix increment and the increment happens after the value of a variable used for the operations.
Q4. Describe the difference between = and == symbols in C programming?
Ans) ‘==’ is the comparison operator which is use to compare the value or expression on the left-hand side with the value or expression on the right-hand side.
‘=’ is the assignment operator which is use to assign the value of the right-hand side to the variable on the left-hand side.
Q5. What is the explanation for prototype function in C?
Prototype function is a declaration of a function with the following information to the compiler.
- Name of the function.
- The return type of the function.
- Parameters list of the function.
Q6. Describe the header file and its usage in C programming?
Ans) The file contains the definitions and prototypes of the functions being used in the program are called a header file. It is also known as a library file.
Q7. What is a nested loop?
Ans) A loop running within another loop is referred as a nested loop.
Q8. What is a pointer on a pointer in C programming language?
Ans) A pointer variable that contains the address of another pointer variable.
Q9. What are the valid places to have keyword “Break”?
Ans) Only in Looping or switch statements.
