4 = 0100 now shift to right 1 time. It will become 0010 = 2.

8 = 1000 now shift to right 1 time. It will become 0100 = 4.

Rest is garbage, so the answer is C.

I got the following outputs:

In GCC (32-bit platform): 2 >> 4 134513662 >> 134513904

Turbo c (16 bit platorm): 2 >> 4 0 >> 344

Therefore, 2 >> 4 garbagevalue >> garbagevalue is the correct answer.

Why shouLd we right shift to one place?

Reenu said:   1 decade ago
@maya.

As the number gave after >> is 1..we have right shift one place..If that number is 2(>> 2)then we have to right shift 2 place..It depends on the number given after >>.

int x[2][2][2]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
int *p;
p=&x[2][2][2];
printf("%d",*p);
}
ans is 0 (zero) why
