1. A set of names can be represented as a

two-dimensional array of characters

one-dimensional array of strings

one-dimensional array of pointers to character

All of above

2. Choose the correct statements

Strictly speaking C supports 1-dimensional arrays only

An array element may be an array by itself

Array elements need not occupy contiguous memory locations

Both (a) and (b)

3. Choose the statement that best defines an array

It is a collection of items that share a common name

It is a collection of items that share a common name and occupy consecutive memory location

It is a collection of items of the same type and storage class that share a common name and occupy consecutive memory locations

None of the above

4. If n has the value 3, then the statement a [++n] = n++ ;

assigns 3 to a [5]

assigns 4 to a [5]

assigns 4 to a [4]

what is assigned is compiler-dependent

5. C does no automatic array bound checking. This is

true

false

C's asset

C's shortcoming

6. The following program main() { static char a[3][4] = {"abcd", "mnop", "fghi"}; putchar(**a); }

will not compile successfully

results in run-time error

prints garbage

none of the above

7. If a two dimensional array is used as a formal parameter, then

both the subscripts may be left empty

the first (row) subscript may be left empty

the first subscript must be left empty

both the subscripts must be left empty

8. Under which of the following conditions, the size of an one-dimensional array need not be specified?

when initialization is a part of definition

when it is a declaration

when it is a formal parameter and an actual argument

All of the above

9. The maximum number of dimension an array can have in C is

3

4

5

compiler dependent

10. Consider the statement int val[2] [4] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} ; 4 will be the value of

val[0 ][ 3]

val[0][4]

val[1][1]

none of the above
