Question 8

If the value of n is 4 and m is 5, will the value of ++(n * m) be 21? Explain your answer.

Answer 8

++(n * m) = 21. The 4x5 will be evaluated first and then the ++ will be added after (the brackets has precedence).

Answer 9

Will be executed from left to right*.

1. The less than will be evaluated before the two logical or’s.
2. The less than will be evaluated before the two logical and’s.
3. Less than, and, or
4. Less than, left to right.
5. Left to right.
6. less than, equal, and
7. less than, not equal, or

printf(“%d %d %d\n”, i, j, k);
printf(“%d %d %d\n”, i–, j–, k–);
printf(“%d %d %d\n”, i, j, k);

Answer 22

int 0 1 2
0 1 2
-1 0 1
Bool i – not allowed for bool.

Question 26

Is the following if statement legal?
if (n >= 1 );
If so, what does it do when n is equal to 5 and when n is equal 15?

Answer 26

There is no syntax error but there is a logical error. When n=5 it prints “n is between 1 and 10”. When n=15 it also prints “n is between 1 and 10”. As there is no && between the two evaluations and the second expression doesn’t have the n before the evaluation.

Question 27

What does the following statement print if i has the value of 17? What does it print if i has the value 31?
printf(“%d\n”, ++i >= 0 ? ++i : –i);

Answer 27

17 = 19. 31 = 32

Question 28

What does the following statement print if i has the value of 17? What does it print if i has the value 31?
printf(“%d\n”, ++i >= 0 ? ++i : (i-=10));

Answer 28

When 17, it prints 19. When 31, it prints 33.

Question 29

The following if statement is unnecessarily complicated. Simplify it as much as possible. (Hint: the entire statement
can be replaced by a single assignment.)
if( age >= 13)
if( age

Answer 29

if ( age

Question 30

Convert the following conditional expression to traditional if statement
i = j < k ? l > m ? 1 : 2 : n == p ? 3 : 4;

Answer 30

Convert i = j < k ? l > m ? 1 : 2 : n == p ? 3 : 4;
