Printf() Quiz in C Set-4

Printf() Quiz in C Set-4 | This quiz is on String length using printf() and printf() inside printf() in C Programming language. The printf() function in C programming language is used for output formatting. It is used to display information required by the user and also prints the value of the variables. It formats the output, like the width of the output, the sign of the output e.t.c

In C, there are many predefined library functions are available for input and output operations. These functions are collectively called standard input-output library functions, and all these functions are available in stdio.h header file.

Note:- We can write printf() inside printf(). Execution will be inside to the outside of printf(). First inside printf() will executed and then outside printf(). The printing order will be right to left.

If you finding difficulties to solve these questions then first you should learn these:-

• Output formatting using printf() in C
• Input formatting using scanf() in C

Printf() Quiz in C

Q1) Find the output of the given C program.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int a = printf("Hello");
  printf("\t %d",a);
  return 0;
}

a) Hello 6
b) error
c) Hello 5
d) Garbage value

View Answer

Answer:- c) Hello 5

The printf() returns the length(integer) of string. In string ‘\0’ is not counted as a character. Here “Hello” has 5 characters so printf display Hello to the screen and returns 5 to the variable a.

Q2) Find the output of the given C program.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int n=9988;
  printf("%d", printf("%d", printf("%d", n) ) );
  return 0;
}

a) 998899889988
b) 9988
c) 998841
d) Compile time error

View Answer

Answer:- c) 998841

Innermost printf(“%d”, 9988) display 9988 returns the number of digits (in this case 4 due to 9988) to the second inner printf. Now,
printf(“%d”, printf(“%d”, 4));

Second inner printf display 4 and return number of digits (in this case 1 for 4) to the outer printf. Now,
printf(“%d”, 1);
The final output is:- 998841

Q3) Can we find string length without using a loop or strlen()?

a) No
b) Yes

View Answer

Answer:- b) Yes

Using printf() function we can find the length of any string without using loop or strlen().

Q4) Find the output of the given C program.

#include<stdio.h>

b) Coming Spiderman-5
c) Coming Spiderman-7
