Most Askable Questions of C Programming
Answer: == is a comparison operator, while = is used for assignment.
Answer: A pointer stores the memory address of another variable. Variables store actual values.
Answer: Call by value passes a copy. Call by reference passes the address, so changes affect the original.
Answer: A pointer that points to no valid memory location. Used for initialization and checks.
Answer: auto, register, static, extern – they control scope, lifetime, and linkage of variables.
Answer: An array name points to its first element. Pointers can be used to traverse arrays.
Answer: In structs, members use separate memory. In unions, all members share the same memory space.
Answer: Recursion means a function calling itself. Example: calculating factorials.
Answer: Using malloc(), calloc() to allocate and free() to deallocate memory.
Answer: Header files declare functions and macros. E.g., #include <stdio.h> enables use of printf().
Answer: break exits the loop entirely. continue skips the current iteration and continues looping.
Answer: When a program tries to access restricted or unallocated memory, often due to bad pointers.
