Which keyword is used to come out of a loop only for that iteration?
Answer: B
Correct answer: continue
continue abandons the current iteration and jumps to the next one - to the update expression in a for, or to the condition test in a while. break leaves the loop altogether, and return leaves the function.

Point out the error, if any in the program.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 1;
switch(i)
{
case 1:
printf("Case1");
break;
case 1*2+4:
printf("Case2");
break;
}
return 0;
}
Answer: D
Correct answer: No Error
case 1*2+4 is a constant expression, which the compiler evaluates to 6 - that is allowed, and 6 does not clash with case 1. A default label is optional. So the program compiles and, with i equal to 1, prints Case1.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 1; i != 10; i += 2)
printf(" GeeksQuiz ");
return 0;
}
Answer: B
Correct answer: GeeksQuiz GeeksQuiz GeeksQuiz .... infinite times
i starts at 1 and rises by 2, so it takes only the odd values 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, … and never equals 10. The test i != 10 is therefore never false. This is why < is safer than != in a loop condition whose variable moves by more than one.

What will be the output of the program?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i=4;
switch(i)
{
default:
printf("This is default\n");
case 1:
printf("This is case 1\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("This is case 2\n");
break;
case 3:
printf("This is case 3\n");
}
return 0;
}
Answer: A
Correct answer: This is default This is case 1
i is 4, which matches no case, so control jumps to default - and default need not be last. Having no break, execution then falls through into case 1, whose break finally ends the switch. So two lines are printed.

What will be the output of the following C program segment?
char inchar = 'A';
switch (inchar)
{
case 'A' :
printf ("choice A \n") ;
case 'B' :
printf ("choice B ") ;
case 'C' :
case 'D' :
case 'E' :
default:
printf ("No Choice") ;
}
Answer: C
Correct answer: Choice A Choice B No Choice
There is no break after the first printf, so execution falls through every following label. Matching case 'A' prints “choice A”, then “choice B”, then - passing through the empty labels C, D and E - the default prints “No Choice”. A case label marks an entry point, not a block.

Which of the following for loops covers the same range of values of i as for (i = 0; i < n; i++)?
Answer: D
Correct answer: for (i = n-1; i>-1; i--)
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) visits 0 to n-1. Running the same range backwards means starting at n-1 and continuing while i is still at least 0 - that is, while i > -1. The alternatives either start at n, which is out of range, or stop at i > 0, which misses the element at index 0.

Point out the error, if any in the while loop.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i=1;
while()
{
printf("%d\n", i++);
if(i>10)
break;
}
return 0;
}
Answer: A
Correct answer: There should be a condition in the while loop
Unlike for, a while requires a controlling expression - while() is a syntax error. The equivalent infinite loop is written while(1), or for(;;), where an omitted condition is defined to be true.

A labelled statement consists of an identifier followed by
Answer: B
Correct answer: :
A label is an identifier followed by a colon - here: - marking a point that goto can jump to. The same colon form is used by case and default labels inside a switch. Labels have function scope, so a goto can only reach one in the same function.

goto can be used to jump from main into another function.
Answer: B
Correct answer: FALSE
goto can only reach a label in the same function; labels have function scope and are invisible outside it. Jumping between functions would leave the stack in an inconsistent state. Where a non-local jump really is needed, setjmp and longjmp provide a disciplined version of it.

What is the output of this C code?
int main()
{
int *p = NULL;
for (foo(); p; p = 0)
printf("In for loop\n");
printf("After loop\n");
}
Answer: B
Correct answer: Compile time error
foo is never declared or defined anywhere in this program. Under the current C rules an undeclared function is an error, and even where it is only a warning the missing definition would fail at link time. So the program does not run at all - the value of p is beside the point.
