C Language Questions and Answers
1. What is C language?
C is a programming language developed at AT&T's Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972. The C
programming language is a standardized programming language developed in the early
1970s by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie for use on the UNIX operating system. It has
since spread to many other operating systems, and is one of the most widely used
programming languages.
2. What are the types of constants in C?

In C language two types of constants are available:
Primary constants
Secondary constants
3. What are the types of C instructions?

There are basically three types of instructions in C:
Type Declaration Instruction
Arithmetic Instruction
Control Instruction
4. What is a pointer?
Pointers are variables which stores the address of another variable. That variable may be a
scalar (including another pointer), or an aggregate (array or structure). The pointed-to
object may be part of a larger object, such as a field of a structure or an element in an
array.
5. What is an array?
Array is a variable that hold multiple elements which has the same data type.
6. Differentiate between arrays and pointers?

Pointers are used to manipulate data using the address. Pointers use * operator to access
the data pointed to by them.
Array is a collection of similar data type. Array use subscripted variables to access and
manipulate data. Array variables can be equivalently written using pointer expression.
7. What is “this” pointer?

The “this” pointer is a pointer accessible only within the member functions of a class,
struct,or union type. It points to the object for which the member function is called. Static
member functions do not have a “this” pointer.
8. What are the uses of a pointer?

Pointer is used in the following cases
It is used to access array elements.
It is used for dynamic memory allocation.
It is used in Call by reference.
It is used in data structures like trees, graph, linked list etc.
61
9. What is the purpose of main() function?
The function main() invokes other functions within it. It is the first function to be called
when the program starts execution.
It is the starting function.
It returns an int value to the environment that called the program.
Recursive call is allowed for main( ) also.
It is a user-defined function.
10. What are the different storage classes in C?

There are four types of storage classes in C language.
Automatic
Extern
Register
Static
11. What is a structure?

Structure constitutes a super data type which represents several different data types in a
single unit. A structure can be initialized if it is static or global.
12. Define Constructors?

A constructor is a member function with the same name as its class. The constructor is
invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created. It is called constructor
because it constructs the values of data members of the class.
13. Define destructors?

A destructor is called for a class object when that object passes out of scope or is explicitly
deleted. A destructors as the name implies is used to destroy the objects that have been
created by a constructors. Like a constructor, the destructor is a member function whose
name is the same as the class name but is preceded by a tilde.
14. What is the use of default constructor?

A constructor that accepts no parameters is called the default constructor. If no user-
defined constructor exists for a class A and one is needed, the compiler implicitly declares
a default parameter less constructor A::A(). This constructor is an inline public member of
its class. The compiler will implicitly define A::A() when the compiler uses this constructor
to create an object of type A. The constructor will have no constructor initializer and a null
body.
15. What is a macro?

Macros are the identifiers that represent statements or expressions.
16. What is the difference between #include< > and #include “ ”?

#include< > ----> specifically used for built in header files.
#include “ ” ----> Specifically used for used for user defined/created header file.
17. What are the advantages of the functions?

It reduces the Complexity in a program by reducing the code.
Functions are easily understanding and reliability and execution is faster.
It also reduces the Time to run a program. In other way, it‟s directly proportional to
Complexity.
62
It‟s easy to find-out the errors due to the blocks made as function definition outside
the main function.
18. How do declare an array?

We can declare an array by specify its data type, name and the number of elements
the array holds between square brackets immediately following the array name.
syntax :
data_type array_name[size];
19. What are the differences between structures and union?

A structure variable contains each of the named members, and its size is large enough to
hold all the members. Structure elements are of same size.
A Union contains one of the named members at a given time and is large enough to
hold the largest member. Union element can be of different sizes.
20. What is the difference between an Array and a List?

The main difference between an array and a list is how they internally store the data
whereas Array is collection of homogeneous elements. List is collection of heterogeneous
elements.
21. What is the difference between a string copy (strcpy) and a memory copy (memcpy)?
The strcpy() function is designed to work exclusively with strings. It copies each byte of
the source string to the destination string and stops when the terminating null character ()
has been moved.
On the other hand, the memcpy() function is designed to work with any type of data.
Because not all data ends with a null character, you must provide the memcpy()
function with the number of bytes you want to copy from the source to the destination.
22. What is the difference between const char*p and char const* p?
const char*p - p is pointer to the constant character. i.e value in that address location
is constant.
const char* const p - p is the constant pointer which points to the constant string, both
value and address are constants.
23. What is the purpose of realloc()?

Realloc(ptr,n) function uses two arguments.
The first argument ptr is a pointer to a block of memory for which the size is to be
altered.
The second argument n specifies the new size. The size may be increased or decreased.
24. What is the use of typedef?
The typedef help in easier modification when the programs are ported to another machine.
A descriptive new name given to the existing data type may be easier to understand the
code.
25. What are the differences between new and malloc?

New initializes the allocated memory by calling the constructor. Memory allocated
with new should be released with delete.
Malloc allocates uninitialized memory.
The allocated memory has to be released with free. New automatically calls the
63
constructor while malloc(dosen‟t)
26. What is the difference between strdup and strcpy?

Both copy a string. strcpy wants a buffer to copy the string. strdup allocates a buffer
using malloc(). Unlike strcpy(), strdup() is not specified by ANSI.
27. What is this pointer?

It is a pointer that points to the current object. This can be used to access the members
of the current object with the help of the arrow operator.
28. What is recursion?

A recursion function is one which calls itself either directly or indirectly it must halt at
a definite point to avoid infinite recursion.
29. What are the characteristics of arrays in C?

An array holds elements that have the same data type.
Array elements are stored in subsequent memory locations
Two-dimensional array elements are stored row by row in subsequent memory
locations.
Array name represents the address of the starting element
30. Differentiate between for loop and a while loop? What are it uses?
For executing a set of statements fixed number of times we use for loop while when
the number of iterations to be performed is not known in advance we use while loop.
31. What is the difference between printf(...) and sprintf(...)?

printf(....) -------------> is standard output statement
sprintf(......)-----------> is formatted output statement.
32. What is an explicit constructor?

A conversion constructor declared with the explicit keyword. The compiler does not use an
explicit constructor to implement an implied conversion of types. Explicit constructors are
simply constructors that cannot take part in an implicit conversion.
33. What is copy constructor?

Copy constructor is a constructor function with the same name as the class and used to
make deep copy of objects.
34. What is the difference between malloc and calloc?

Malloc() is use for memory allocation and initialize garbage values. malloc()
for allocating the single block of memory.
Calloc() is same as malloc() but it initialize 0 value. calloc() for allocating
multiple blocks of memory.
35. What is null pointer?

NULL pointer is a pointer which is pointing to nothing.
Examples :
int *ptr=(char *)0;
float *ptr=(float *)0;
64
36. What is dynamic array?
The dynamic array is an array data structure which can be resized during runtime which
means elements can be added and removed.
37. What are macros? What are its advantages and disadvantages?
Macros are abbreviations for lengthy and frequently used statements. When a macro is
called the entire code is substituted by a single line though the macro definition is of
several lines.
The advantage of macro is that it reduces the time taken for control transfer as in case
of function. The disadvantage of it is here the entire code is substituted so the program
becomes lengthy if a macro is called several times.
38. What are register variables? What are the advantages of using register variables?
If a variable is declared with a register storage class, it is known as register variable. The
register variable is stored in the CPU register instead of main memory. Frequently used
variables are declared as register variable as it‟s access time is faster.
39. What is storage class? What are the different storage classes in C?
Storage class is an attribute that changes the behavior of a variable. It controls the
lifetime,scope and linkage. The storage classes in c are auto, register, and extern,
static, typedef.
40. What the advantages of using Unions?

When the C compiler is allocating memory for unions it will always reserve enough
room for the largest member.
41. In C, why is the void pointer useful? When would you use it?
The void pointer is useful because it is a generic pointer that any pointer can be cast into
and back again without loss of information.
42. What is the difference between the functions memmove() and memcpy()?
The arguments of memmove() can overlap in memory. The arguments of
memcpy() cannot.
43. Can a Structure contain a Pointer to itself?

Yes such structures are called self-referential structures.
44. What is dynamic memory allocation?

A dynamic memory allocation uses functions such as malloc() or calloc() to get memory
dynamically. If these functions are used to get memory dynamically and the values
returned by these function are assigned to pointer variables, such a way of allocating
memory at run time is known as dynamic memory allocation.
45. What is pointer to a pointer?

If a pointer variable points another pointer value. Such a situation is known as a pointer to
a pointer.
Example : int
*p1, **p2,
v=10;
P1=&v;
65
p2=&p1;
Here p2 is a pointer to a pointer.
46. What is a function?

A large program is subdivided into a number of smaller programs or subprograms. Each
subprogram specifies one or more actions to be performed for the larger program.
Such sub programs are called functions.
47. What is an argument?

An argument is an entity used to pass data from the calling to a called function.
48. What is the difference between syntax vs logical error?

Syntax Error
These involve validation of syntax of language.
Compiler prints diagnostic message.
Logical Error
Logical error are caused by an incorrect algorithm or by a statement mistyped in
such a way that it doesn‟t violet syntax of language.
Difficult to find.
49. Explain enumerated types.

Enumerated types allow the programmers to use more meaningful words as values to
a variable.
Each item in the enumerated type variable is actually associated with a numeric code.
50. Differentiate between the expression “++a” and “a++”?

With ++a, the increment happens first on variable a, and the resulting value is used.
This is called as prefix increment.
With a++, the current value of the variable will be used in an operation. This is called as
postfix increment.
