Q:

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

#include "stdarg.h"

main()

{

     display ( 4, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, 44.3);

}

display(int num, ...)

{

       float c; int j;

        va_list ptr;

        va_start (ptr, num);

        for ( j = 1; j <= num; j++)

        {

            c = va_arg ( ptr, float );

            printf ("\n%f", c);

         }

}

Answer

While extracting a float argument using va_arg we should have useed 


c = va_arg (ptr, double)

     int **p, i;

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

      for ( i = 0; i < MAXROW ; i++)

            p[i] = (int *) malloc (MAXCOL * sizeof (int ));

}

Answer

for ( i=0; i < MAXROW ; i++)


free (p[i]);


free (p);

Q:

Point out the error in the following program.

main()

{

    char mybuf[] = "Zanzibar" ;

    char yourbuf[] = " Zienckewiz";

    char * const ptr = mybuf;

     *ptr = 'a';

     ptr = yourbuf;

}

Answer

ptr pointer is constant. In ptr = yourbuf the program is trying to modify it, hence an error.

Improve the following code using typedef.

struct node

{

      int data1;  float data2;

       struct node *left;

       struct node *right;

};

struct node *ptr;

ptr = (struct node *) malloc (sizeof (struct node) ); 

Answer

typedef struct node * treeptr


typedef struct node


{


         int data1;


         float data2;


         treeptr *left;


         treeptr *right;


}treenode;


treeptr ptr;


ptr = ( treeptr ) malloc ( sizeof ( treenode ) );

Q:

Answer the following Program

#define CHARSIZE 8

#define MASK(y) (1 << y % CHARSIZE)

#define BITSLOT (y) (y / CHARSIZE)

#define SET(x,y) ( x[BITSLOT(y)] = MASK(y) )

#define TEST(x,y) ( x[BITSLOT(y)] & MASK(y) )

#define NUMSLOTS(n) ((n + CHARSIZE - 1) / CHARSIZE)

 

Give the above macros how would you

1. declare an array arr of 50 bits

2. put the 20th bit on

3. test whether the 40th bit is on or off

Answer

1. char arr[NUMSLOTS(50)];


2. SET (arr, 20);


3. if (TEST (arr, 40))
