Sample Questions

1. The following example discusses structure pointers.

   #include ‹stdio.h›

   #include ‹string.h›

   struct name{

   char lastname[20];

   char firstname[20];

   };

   struct name full_name;

   void display_name(struct name *p);

   int main(void)

   { struct name *name_ptr;

   ______________ ;-- Statement to be filled ........

   }

   In the above code, fill in the correct usage of the function pointer in the line ‘Statement to be filled” from the list below.

   1. name_ptr = &full_name
   2. &name_ptr = full_name
   3. name_ptr = &name
   4. name_ptr = name
2. Take a look at the following two declarations:

   char name[] = "Jack"; -- Declaration 1

   char *name = "Jack"; -- Declaration 2

   Now consider the following statements

   1. Declarations 1 and 2 would use the same amount of memory
   2. Declarations 1 and 2 would use different amount of memory
   3. In Declaration 2, 'name' and &name [0] are same
   4. Declaration 1 would use exactly 5 bytes
   5. Declaration 2 would always use 8 bytes (4 bytes for text and 4 bytes for pointer)

   Which of the above statements would hold good for these declarations?

   1. ii, iii and iv
   2. i, iii and v
   3. ii, iv and v
   4. i, iii and iv
