Variable naming rule questions in c


Following question are based on variable naming rules in c. If you have any doubt in the variable naming rules you can ask here.

Rules for identifiers in c language


1.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int goto=5;
printf("%d",goto);
return 0;
}

(A)5
(B)**
(C)**
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

Invalid variable name. goto is keyword in c. variable name cannot be any keyword of c language.

2.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
long int 1a=5l;
printf("%ld",1a);
    return 0;
}

(A)5
(B)51
(C)6
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

Invalid variable name. Variable name must star from either alphabet or underscore.

3.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int _=5;
    int __=10;
    int ___;
    ___=_+__;
    printf("%i",___);
    return 0;
}

(A)5
(B)10
(C)15
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these
Explanation:

Variable name can have only underscore.

4.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int max-val=100;
    int min-val=10;
    int avg-val;
    avg-val = max-val + min-val / 2;
    printf("%d",avg-val);
    return 0;
}

(A)55
(B)105
(C)
60
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

We cannot use special character – in the variable name.

5.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int class=150;
    int public=25;
    int private=30;
    class = class >> private - public;
    printf("%d",class);
    return 0;
}

(A)1
(B)2
(C)4
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

Variable name can be keyword of c++.

6.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789=10;
    int abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456=40;
    printf("%d",abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456);
    return 0;
}

(A)10
(B)40
(C)50
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

Only first 32 characters are significant in variable name. So compiler will show error: Multiple declaration of identifier abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456.

7.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    register xyz_123=91;
    auto pqr_123=991;
    const _1a1_=pqr_123+~xyz_123;
    printf("%d",_1a1_);
    return 0;
}

(A)900
(B)999
(C)899
(D)Compilation error
(E)None of these

Explanation:

Variable name can have digits.

8.

What will be output of the following c program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int __SMALL__ = 11;
    int y;
    y= __SMALL__ < 5;

    return 0;
}

(A)11
(B)5
(C)0
(D)Compilation error

}

(A)
32

Explanation:

Variable name can be in the format: __NAME__. But it is bad practice since this format is used for global identifiers.

Concept of Big data

By
Best Laptop for students Concept of BIG DATA The concept of big data arrived in executive suites via IT and engineering departments, and those technical roots have led to some disagreement of what the term means. At its core, big data refers to high volumes of information from multiple sources being fed into data stores on a time-sensitive basis. The shorthand: lots of data coming rapidly and from many places. Big data is an important foundation of quality  business intelligence , providing enough information to detect meaningful trends. Big Data Everywhere!  • Lots of data is being collected and warehoused • Web data, e-commerce • purchases at department/ grocery stores • Bank/Credit Card transactions • Social Network Type of Data • Relational Data (Tables/Transaction/Legacy Data) • Text Data (Web) • Semi-structured Data (XML) • Graph Data • Social Network, Semantic Web (RDF), … • Streaming Data • You can only scan the data o...
