Do while loop tests the condition at the End of the Loop.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that a do-while loop tests the condition at the end of the loop. This means that the loop will always execute at least once, regardless of the condition. After the loop body is executed, the condition is checked, and if it evaluates to true, the loop will continue. If the condition is false, the loop will terminate. Therefore, the statement "Do while loop tests the condition at the End of the Loop" is false.Rate this question:

The minimum number of temporary variable needed to swap the contents of two variable is
- A.
3
- B.
1
- C.
0
- D.
2
Correct Answer
C. 0Explanation
To swap the contents of two variables, we can use a temporary variable to hold the value of one variable while we assign the value of the other variable to it. However, in this case, the answer is 0 because we can perform the swap operation without using any temporary variable. This can be achieved by using arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction. By adding the value of one variable to the other and then subtracting the original value of the second variable from the sum, we can effectively swap their contents.Rate this question:

- C.
3*c
- D.
6.6/a
Correct Answer
D. 6.6/aExplanation
The operation that will be performed first in the given expression is 6.6/a. This is because division has a higher precedence than addition and multiplication. Therefore, the expression will be evaluated from left to right, and the division 6.6/a will be performed before any other operations.Rate this question:

Variables are initialized in C, using
- A.
: =
- B.
>
- C.
=
- D.
==
Correct Answer
C. =Explanation
In C, variables are initialized using the "=" operator. This operator is used to assign a value to a variable. For example, if we want to initialize a variable named "x" with the value 10, we would write "x = 10". The "=" operator is used for assignment, while the "==" operator is used for comparison. So, the correct answer is "=" as it is used for initialization of variables in C.Rate this question:

What is output of the following program? main() {int a; float b; a=1/2; b=1.0/2.0; printf(“ a=%d b=%f”,a,b); }
- A.
A=0.0 b=0. 5
- B.
A=0 b=0. 5
- C.
A=0.0 b= 5
- D.
A=0.5 b=0. 5
Correct Answer
B. A=0 b=0. 5Explanation
The output of the program will be "a=0 b=0.5". This is because in the line "a=1/2", the division is performed using integer division, which truncates the decimal part and assigns the result to the integer variable a. As a result, a is assigned the value 0. On the other hand, in the line "b=1.0/2.0", the division is performed using floating-point division, which retains the decimal part. Therefore, b is assigned the value 0.5.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a relational operator
- A.
- B.
&&
- C.
!=
- D.
>
Correct Answer
B. &&Explanation
The correct answer is &&. In programming, relational operators are used to compare values and determine the relationship between them. The && operator is a logical operator, not a relational operator. It is used to perform logical AND operation on two boolean values. Relational operators include != (not equal to) and > (greater than), which are used to compare values for equality and determine if one value is greater than another, respectively.Rate this question:

main ( ) { int m,y; m = 5; y = ++m; printf(”%d %d”,m,y);} consider the above code and find the output
- A.
5,5
- B.
5,6
- C.
6,6
- D.
6,5
Correct Answer
C. 6,6Explanation
In the given code, the variable "m" is initialized with the value 5. Then, the value of "m" is incremented by 1 using the pre-increment operator (++m). This means that the value of "m" becomes 6. The value of "m" is then assigned to the variable "y". So, the value of "y" also becomes 6. Finally, the printf statement prints the values of "m" and "y", which are both 6. Hence, the output of the code is "6,6".Rate this question:

- C.
1 2 3 4
- D.
1
Correct Answer
A. 1 2 3 4 5Explanation
The program starts by initializing the variable i to 1. It then enters a do-while loop, which means that the code inside the loop will always execute at least once. Inside the loop, the value of i is printed using the printf function. Then, i is incremented by 1. If the value of i is greater than 5, the loop is terminated using the break statement. Since i is incremented after each iteration, the loop will eventually terminate when i becomes 6. Therefore, the output of the program will be 1 2 3 4 5.Rate this question:

- A.
Infinite times
- B.
0 times
- C.
10 times
- D.
11 times
Correct Answer
D. 11 timesExplanation
In this code, the variable x is initially set to -1. The for loop runs as long as x is less than or equal to 10. Inside the loop, the if condition checks if x is less than 5. If it is, the continue statement is executed, which skips the rest of the code inside the loop and goes to the next iteration. If x is not less than 5, the else statement is executed, which includes the break statement. The break statement terminates the loop and exits it completely. Therefore, the code inside the loop that prints "IndiaBIX" is never executed. Since the loop runs 11 times (from -1 to 10), the answer is 11 times.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. -3,2,0,-1Explanation
The correct answer is -3, 2, 0, -1. In the given code, the value of i is initially -3. The statement "m=i++;" assigns the current value of i to m and then increments the value of i by 1. Therefore, m is assigned the value -3 and i becomes -2. The printf statement then prints the values of i, j, k, and m, which are -2, 2, 0, and -3 respectively.Rate this question:

- C.
0.00
- D.
0.000000
Correct Answer(s)
C. 0.00
D. 0.000000Explanation
The output of the code is 0.00 and 0.000000 because the modulus operator (%) is used to calculate the remainder when dividing two numbers. In this case, b (10) is divided by a (5), which gives a remainder of 0. Since both a and b are floating-point numbers, the result is also a floating-point number. The output is displayed as "0.00" and "0.000000" because the printf statement is used to format and display the result.Rate this question:

Int x=1,y=5; x=++x + –y; what is the value of x
- A.
8
- B.
-3
- C.
5
- D.
-7
Correct Answer
B. -3Explanation
In the given code:
x is initially set to 1.
y is initially set to 5.
Now, let's break down the expression step by step:
++x is a pre-increment operation, which means x is incremented by 1 before its value is used. So, ++x becomes 2.
-y is a negation of y, so -y becomes -5.
Now, we add 2 (from ++x) to -5 (from -y):
x = 2 + (-5)
x = 2 - 5
x = -3
So, the value of x is -3.Rate this question:
