Initial value of j is 1 and the last condition of the while statement is j=225. so the loop get executed 225 times. It does not change according to declaration.

Hi vivek in the program the initital value of j=1 the statement in the while condition will execute until j value will become 255. so the statement will execute 255 times

Loop will execute from j=0 to 224 at j=225 loop will terminated so it will execute upto 225 times from 0 to 224.
I think it makes it more clear.

The body of the while loop will execute 255 times. But the while condition will execte one more time to became condition false.
It takes 256.

@fanta
you are right but see they didn't say while statement, they said while loop, so you ought consider the whole loop statements.

In printf, why there are using %c. I can't understand please explain..

%c %d means short integer, according to this concept it won't affect while.
Hence while loop get executed by 255 times...understand.

Good answer.
Manas said:

Its answer is wrong because character is 127 to -128 so after going to 127 next j++ will take it to -128 so ..loop continues...

I coudnt undrstand "%c %d". and also this "j,j" . why two js are used ? have anyone checked output using compiler?

%c is used to read character variable means 'g' or 'h' etc
wheare as %d is used to read integer example 22 44 etc
i checked it

I think the answer is infinite. Loop continues because in case of characters after 127 next value will be -128. Hence the loop will never come to an end.

In printing statement we have %c to print the j. as u told -128 to +127 ,but the given value is 255. But it is beyond the character limit. So whether here wrap around process will take place here can pls any one explain me clearly..

The answer is 256 its not 255 because the while loop gets executed when j=255.that is it takes 255 loop.but the while condition is executed untill the condition is failed.
So it fails when j=256.

Simple,
It is in case of <= increment by 0ne of right side of the condition and then decrement it by left value;
1<=255 True
So,
(255+1)-1=255

Hi, please have a look on the following program , I guess it is very easy.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int j=1;
int count=1;
while(j <= 225)
{
//printf("%c %d\n", j, j);
j++;
count++;
}
printf("%d",count++);
return 0;
}
The count value will be 225.

This program prints the ASCII characters from 1 to 255 and their respective number. That is why there is a "%c %d" in the printf, one for the char representation of whatever number 'j' is and the number itself.
While compilation we get output "The output size is too large (infinite loop or larger text output) ". But the answer was 255 how its possible I can't understood. Help me how its was came.
What happens if in the above question 'short int' is replaced by 'long int' ? Please help.

When this is short int. It again wrap around to zero so definitly infinite loop.
Diana said:
(Fri, Aug 31, 2012 04:21:09 PM)
Sangeetha,the range of short signed int is from -32768 to +32767.So,it won't wrap around.You are confusing it with char whose range is from -128 to +127.
Prem said:
(Fri, Sep 7, 2012 05:41:32 PM)
If int is not mentioned signed or unsigned then we take default signed.here we are showing character too so it will execute upto +127 then it goes to -127,-126.....,0,1,.....127 that mean it will execute infinite times.
Dhanush said:
(Mon, Sep 10, 2012 02:32:00 PM)
@prem.
We are using character only in printf statement. not in condition. in while(j<=255) j is an integer variable. So in printf statemnt for %c it will print from 1,2.....127,-128,-127.....0 so exactly after 255 times of the execution of the loop. The condition fail and loop will be terminated.

J=1 and while (j <= 255).
J start from 1 to 255 and run only 255 times, it goes to 255 because of <= if this sign is only < then it goes to only 1 to 254 and run only 254 times.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char result[50];
float num = 23.34;
sprintf(result, "%f", num);
printf("\n The string for the num is %s", result);
getchar();
}
This program shows an error output too large. Can anyone tell me why this error is occuring?
Vishal Naik said:

Do it manually for a shorter number, ex while(j <= 3), you will get the answer as 3. Similarly when while(j <= 255), Answer is 255.
