printf() and sprint() Functions
What is the difference between "printf(...)" and "sprintf(...)"? sprintf(...) writes data to the charecter array whereas printf(...) writes data to the standard output device. 2007-02-26, 18572👍, 0💬

enum vs. define Statements
What is the benefit of using an enum rather than a #define constant? The use of an enumeration constant (enum) has many advantages over using the traditional symbolic constant style of #define. These advantages include a lower maintenance requirement, improved program readability, and better debuggi... 2007-02-26, 11626👍, 0💬

String Pointers
What will be printed as the result of the operation below: main() { char *ptr = " Cisco Systems"; *ptr++; printf("%s\n",ptr); ptr++; printf("%s\n",ptr); } 1) ptr++ increments the ptr address to point to the next address. In the prev example, ptr was pointing to the space in the string before C, now ... 2007-02-26, 11521👍, 0💬

Bitwise Operations
Which bit wise operator is suitable for turning off a particular bit in a number? The bitwise AND operator. Here is an example: enum { KBit1 = 0x00000001 KBit2 = 0x00000010, KBit3 = 0x00000100, ... }; some_int = some_int & ~KBit24; 2007-02-26, 10513👍, 0💬

"register" Modifier
When should the register modifier be used? Does it really help? The register modifier hints to the compiler that the variable will be heavily used and should be kept in the CPU's registers, if possible, so that it can be accessed faster. There are several restrictions on the use of the register modi... 2007-02-26, 10136👍, 0💬

How can I construct preprocessor if expressions which compare strings?
How can I construct preprocessor if expressions which compare strings? You can't do it directly; preprocessor #if arithmetic uses only integers. An alternative is to #define several macros with symbolic names and distinct integer values, and implement conditionals on those: #define RED 1 #define BLU... 2016-02-05, 9786👍, 0💬

How can I implement a variable field width with printf?
How can I implement a variable field width with printf? That is, instead of something like %8d, I want the width to be specified at run time. printf("%*d", width, x) will do just what you want. The asterisk in the format specifier indicates that an int value from the argument list will be used for t... 2021-01-21, 9775👍, 1💬

Can Static Variables Be Declared in Header Files
Can static variables be declared in a header file? You can't declare a static variable without defining it as well (this is because the storage class modifiers static and extern are mutually exclusive). A static variable can be defined in a header file, but this would cause each source file that inc... 2007-02-26, 9492👍, 0💬

Convert an integer or a float to a string
Does there exist any other function which can be used to convert an integer or a float to a string? Some implementations provide a nonstandard function called itoa(), which converts an integer to string. char *itoa(int value, char *string, int radix); DESCRIPTION - The itoa() function constructs a s... 2007-02-26, 9243👍, 0💬

printf() Function
What is the output of printf("%d")? 1. When we write printf("%d",x); this means compiler will print the value of x. But as here, there is nothing after "%d", so compiler will show in output window gurbage value. 2. When we use %d the compiler internally uses it to access the argument in the stack (a... 2007-02-26, 8977👍, 0💬

calloc() and malloc() Functions
What is the difference between "calloc(...)" and "malloc(...)"? 1. calloc(...) allocates a block of memory for an array of elements of a certain size. By default the block is initialized to 0. The total number of memory allocated will be (number_of_elements * size). malloc(...) takes in only a singl... 2007-02-26, 8910👍, 0💬

Bitwise Operations
Which bit wise operator is suitable for checking whether a particular bit is on or off? The bitwise AND operator. Here is an example: enum { KBit1 = 0x00000001 KBit2 = 0x00000010, KBit3 = 0x00000100, ... }; if ( some_int & KBit24 ) printf("Bit number 24 is ON\n"); else printf("Bit number 24 is O... 2007-02-26, 8846👍, 0💬

Character Array
What will be printed as the result of the operation below: main() { char s1[]="Cisco"; char s2[]="systems"; printf("%s",s1); } Answer: Cisco 2007-02-26, 8786👍, 0💬

Deteting Circular Linked List
Can you tell me how to check whether a linked list is circular? Create two pointers, and set both to the start of the list. Update each as follows: while (pointer1) { pointer1 = pointer1->next; pointer2 = pointer2->next; if (pointer2) pointer2=pointer2->next ;if (pointer1 == poi... 2007-02-26, 8624👍, 0💬

What is wrong with this initialization?
What's wrong with this initialization? char *p = malloc(10); My compiler is complaining about an ``invalid initializer'', or something. Is the declaration of a static or non-local variable? Function calls are allowed in initializers only for automatic variables (that is, for local, non-static variab... 2020-08-03, 8564👍, 2💬

"union" Data Type
What's the output of the following program? And why? #include main() { typedef union { int a; char b[10]; float c; } Union; Union x,y = {100}; x.a = 50; strcpy(x.b,"hello"); x.c = 21.50; printf("Union x : %d %s %f n",x.a,x.b,x.c); printf("Union y : %d %s %f n",y.a,y.b,y.c); } 2007-02-26, 8527👍, 0💬

Bitwise Operations
Which bit wise operator is suitable for turning on a particular bit in a number? The bitwise OR operator. In the following code snippet, the bit number 24 is turned ON: enum { KBit1 = 0x00000001 KBit2 = 0x00000010, KBit3 = 0x00000100, ... }; some_int = some_int | KBit24; 2007-02-26, 8336👍, 0💬

Macro vs. Function
Advantages of a macro over a function? Macro gets to see the Compilation environment, so it can expand __DATE__ __TIME__ __FILE__ #defines. It is expanded by the preprocessor. For example, you can't do this without macros. #define PRINT(EXPR) printf( #EXPR "=%d\n", EXPR) PRINT( 5+6*7 ) // expands in... 2007-02-26, 8252👍, 0💬

Printing Permutaions of a String
