C Linux interview questions and answers

(1)What will be output if you will execute following program by gcc compiler in Linux?

#include

int main(){

    int a=5;

    printf("%d %d %d",a++,a++,++a);

    return 0;

}

Output:

In LINUX GCC compiler

7 6 8

In TURBO C

7 6 6

Hints: In Turbo c parameter is passed from right to left in printf function but not in the Linux.

    printf("Size of long double: %d\n",sizeof(f));

    printf("Size of char: %d\n",sizeof(g));

        return 0;

}

    printf("%d",*++p);

        return 0;

}

Output:

In LINUX GCC compiler

44

1

In TURBO C

44

1

#include

int main(){

    char c='A';

    printf("%d   %d",sizeof(c),sizeof('A'));

    return 0;

}

Output:

In LINUX

1  4

    enum color{RED,BLUE,GREEN=-2,YELLOW,PINK};

    printf("%d  %d",BLUE,PINK);

    return 0;

}

Output:

In LINUX GCC compiler

1 0

In TURBO C

1 0

(10) What will be output if you will execute following program by gcc compiler in Linux?

#include

int main(){

    char c=127;

    printf("%d",++c);

    printf("  %d",++c);

    return 0;

}

Output:
