Q:

If the following structure is written to a file using fwrite(), can fread() read it back successfully?

struct emp

{

    char *n;

    int age;

};

struct emp e = { "Sujay",15};

FILE *fp;

fwrite (&e, sizeof (e), 1, fp);

Answer

No, since the structure contains a char pointer while writing the structure to the disk using fwrite() only the value stored in the pointer n would get written. When this structure is read back the address would be read back but it is quite unlikely that the desired string would be present at this address in memory

Q:

What is multi - level marketing (MLM)?

Answer

It is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is reffered to as the participant's 'downline' , and can provide multiple levels of compensation. Other terms used for MLM include pyramid selling, network marketing and refferal marketing. Most commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and word-of-mouth marketing.
