Computer Knowledge - MCQ Practice Questions

The break statement exits or terminates the current loop immediately. Option D describes continue (which skips to next iteration), while break actually exits the loop.

In C, 'string' is not a primitive data type. C uses 'char' arrays to represent strings. The valid primitive data types are int, float, double, char, void, and their variants.

Variable 'a' is initialized to 10, 'b' is initialized to 20. When c = a + b, c becomes 10 + 20 = 30. Therefore, printf outputs 30.

In C, the 'const' keyword is used to declare constants. Once a const variable is initialized, its value cannot be changed. Options A, C, and D are not valid C syntax.

The return statement is used to exit a function and return a value (if any) to the calling function. If the function has return type void, no value is returned.

stdio.h (Standard Input/Output header) contains declarations for printf(), scanf(), and other I/O functions.

Both 'const int x = 10;' and 'int const x = 10;' are valid ways to declare constants in C. The const keyword can appear before or after the type.

The * operator is the dereference operator that accesses the value at a memory address. The & operator gets the address of a variable.

sizeof() is a unary operator that returns the number of bytes occupied by a variable or data type in memory.

All three methods are valid. Option A initializes with size 5, option B auto-determines size from initialization, and option C declares without initialization.

An empty structure in C has a size of 1 byte. This is to ensure each structure instance has a unique address in memory.

strlen() counts characters excluding the null terminator. "Hello" has 5 characters, so strlen(s) returns 5.

The #define directive replaces MAX with 10 during preprocessing. So x = 10 and output is 10. (Note: semicolon after MAX is not needed but doesn't affect the output)

Both syntaxes are correct. C allows initializing 2D arrays with or without explicit braces for each row.

Integer division truncates the decimal part. $\frac{5}{2}$ = 2 (not 2.5) because both operands are integers.

getchar() reads a single character from standard input (stdin) and returns its ASCII value.

The == operator compares values. Since a and b both have value 5, the condition is true and "Equal" is printed.

The stdio.h header file contains declarations for standard input/output functions like printf(). Option A is C++, Option C is C++, and Option D is for memory allocation functions.

The correct syntax for declaring a pointer to an integer is 'int *ptr;' where the asterisk (*) indicates it is a pointer variable.

sizeof(int) returns the size of integer in bytes as an integer value. On most modern systems, this is 4 bytes, and printf with %d will print this numeric value.
