Q:

What is the difference between malloc() and calloc() functions?

Answer

As against malloc(), calloc() needs two arguments, the number of elements  to be allocated and the size of each element. For example,


 p = (int *) calloc (10, sizeof (int));


would allocate space for a 10- integer array. Additionally, calloc() would also set each of this element with a value 0.


Thus the above call to calloc() is equivalent to:


p = (int *) malloc (10 * sizeof (int));


memset (p, 0, 10 * sizeof( int ));

Q:

If the following program (myprog) is run from the command line as 

myprog 1 2 3 

what would be the output?

main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

    int i, j = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < argc ; i++)

           j = j + atoi ( argv[i]);

    printf ("%d", j);

}

A) 123 B) 6
C) Error D) "123"
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

When atoi() tries to convert argv[0] to a number it cannot do so (argv[0] being a file name) and hence returns a zero.

Q:

How would you obtain segment and offset addresses from a far address of a memory location?

Answer

#include "dos.h"


main()


{


    Char far *scr = ( char far *) 0xB8000000;


    Char *seg, *off;


    Seg = (char *) FP_SEG ( scr );


    Off = ( char *) FP_OFF ( scr );


}

Q:

Indicate what would the SWAP macro be expanded to on preprocessing. Would the code compile?

#define SWAP (a, b, c ) (c t; t = a, a = b, b = t; )

main()

{

    int x = 10, y = 20;

    SWAP (x, y, int );

    printf ( " %d%d ", x, y);

}

Answer

( int t ; t = a, a = b, b = t ;);


This code won't compile since declaration of t cannot occur within parentheses.

Q:

Point out the error, if any, in the following program.

main()

{

    int ( *p )() = fun;

    ( *P ) ();

}

fun ()

{

    Printf ( "\nLoud and clear" );

} 

Answer

Here we are initalising the function pointer p to the address of the function fun(). But during this initialisation the function has not been defined. Hence an error.


To eliminate this error add the prototype of the fun() before declaration of p, as shown below:


extern int fun();    or simply  int fun();
