Predict the outputs of following C programs.
Question 1
C Output: Compiler Error
In C, static variables can only be initialized using constant literals. See this GFact for details.
Question 2
C Output: Infinite times GeeksforGeeks
The loop termination condition never becomes true and the loop prints GeeksforGeeks infinite times. In general, if a for or while statement uses a loop counter, then it is safer to use a relational operator (such as this for details.
Question 3
C
int main()
{
int x = 10;
static int y = x;
if(x == y)
printf("Equal");
else if(x > y)
printf("Greater");
else
printf("Less");
getchar();
return 0;
}
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 1; i != 10; i += 2)
{
printf(" GeeksforGeeks ");
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
#include<stdio.h>
struct st
{
int x;
struct st next;
};
int main()
{
struct st temp;
temp.x = 10;
temp.next = temp;
printf("%d", temp.next.x);
getchar();
return 0;
}
Output: Compiler Error
A C structure cannot contain a member of its own type because if this is allowed then it becomes impossible for compiler to know size of such struct. Although a pointer of same type can be a member because pointers of all types are of same size and compiler can calculate size of struct.
