Basic and Advance C Interview Questions and Answers

1 :: How do we print only part of a string in C?

/* Use printf() to print the first 11 characters of source_str. */
printf(First 11 characters: ‘%11.11s’n, source_str);

Is This Answer Correct?    12 Yes 7 No

2 :: What is a pointer value and address in C?

A pointer value is a data object that refers to a memory location. Each memory locaion is numbered in the memory. The number attached to a memory location is called the address of the location.

Is This Answer Correct?    10 Yes 2 No

3 :: What is a static function in C?

A static function is a function whose scope is limited to the current source file. Scope refers to the visibility of a function or variable. If the function or variable is visible outside of the current source file, it is said to have global, or external, scope. If the function or variable is not visible outside of the current source file, it is said to have local, or static, scope.

Is This Answer Correct?    9 Yes 4 No

4 :: What is a pointer variable in C language?

5 :: What is a void pointer in C?

A void pointer is a C convention for a raw address. The compiler has no idea what type of object a void Pointer really points to. If you write
int *ip;
ip points to an int. If you write
void *p;
p doesn’t point to a void!
In C and C++, any time you need a void pointer, you can use another pointer type. For example, if you have a char*, you can pass it to a function that expects a void*. You don’t even need to cast it. In C (but not in C++), you can use a void* any time you need any kind of pointer, without casting. (In C++, you need to cast it).
A void pointer is used for working with raw memory or for passing a pointer to an unspecified type.
Some C code operates on raw memory. When C was first invented, character pointers (char *) were used for that. Then people started getting confused about when a character pointer was a string, when it was a character array, and when it was raw memory.
