- Bc long long number = 1; while(1) number *= 2; ```
- Cc while(1) { char hugeString[1000000L]; memset(hugeString, 0, 1000000L); } ```

2What will this code print on the screen?
int f1 (int a, int b)
{
if (a > b)
{
printf("A is greater than B\n");
return 1;
}
else
{

return 0;
}
}

5 A pointer to void named vptr, has been set to point to a floating point variable named g. What is the valid way to dereference vptr to assign its pointed value to a float variable named f later in this program?
float g;
void *vptr=&g;- Af = _(float _)vptr;

7A C header file is a file with extension .h that contains function declarations and macro definitons to be shared between several source files. Header files are listed using the preprocessing directive #include, and can have one of the following formats: #include <fileA> or #include "fileB". What is the difference between these two formats?
- AThe preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in same directory as the source file, and the fileB in a predetermined directory path.
- BThe preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in the fixed system directory. It will try to locate fileB in the directory path designated by the -l option added to the command line while compiling the source code.
- CThe file using fileA syntax must be system files, of unlimited number. fileB must be a user file at a maximun of one per source file.
- DThe preprocessor will try to locate the fileA in a predetermined directory path. It will try to locate fileB in the same directory as the source file along with a custom directory path.
8Using a for loop, how could you write a C code to count down from 10 to 1 and display each number on its own line?
- Ac for (int i = 0; i>=0, i--){ printf("%d\n", i); }//end of loop ```
- Bc int i; for (i=1; i<=10; i++){ printf("%d", i); } ```
- Cc int i = 10; while (i>0){ printf("%d\n", i); i--; } ```
- Dc int i; for (i= 10; i>0; i--){ printf("%d\n", i); }// end of loop ```
