L3.A6
Solution for L3.Q6
The first value will be 0, the rest of the three values will
not be predictable. Actually it prints the values of the
following location in each step
* savea
* (savea + sizeof(int) * sizeof(int))
etc...
ie. savea += sizeof(int) => savea = savea +
sizeof(savea_type) * sizeof(int)
( by pointer arithmatic)
=> save = savea + sizeof(int) * sizeof(int)
Note: You can verify the above by varing the type of 'savea'
variable to char, double, struct, etc.
Instead of statement 'savea += sizeof(int)' use savea++ then
the values 0, 10, 20 and 30 will be printed. This behaviour
is because of pointer arithmatic.
LX.A7
Solution for LX.Q7
Two function pointers f1 and f2 are declared of the type
abc. whereas abc is a pointer to a function returns int.
func1() which is assigned to f1 is called first. It
modifies the values of the parameter 'a' and 'b' to 100,
"hello! func1 ". In func1(), func2() is called which
further modifies the value of 'a' and 'b' to 200, "hello!
func1 func2 " and returns the value of 'a' which is 200 to
the main. Main calls f1() again after assigning func2() to
f1. So, func2() is called and it returns the following
value which will be the output of this program.
res : 400 str : hello! func1 func2 func2
The output string shows the trace of the functions called :
func1() and func2() then again func2().

LX.A9
Solution for LX.Q9
In C we can index an array in two ways.
For example look in to the following lines
int a[3] = {10, 20, 30, 40};
In this example index=3 of array 'a' can be represented
in 2 ways.
1) a[3] and
2) 3[a]
i.e) a[3] = 3[a] = 40
Extend the same logic to this problem. You will get the
output as follows
Hello! how is this? super
That is C
