    return 0;
}
4 1 8 1
4 >> 1 8 >> 1

What is GCC 32 bit platform, please explain me.

@Anusha,
Given code is
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("%d >> %d %d >> %d\n", 4 >> 1, 8 >> 1);
return 0;
}

First we got the output from 4>>1,8>>1 is 2,4 directly.

But in printf() four %d's are given.so 2,4 assigns to first two %d's and the remaining two %d's will show the garbage values.

Got it?

Here is my code.

#include<stdio.h>

int main ()
{
int i ;
for (i=0;i<3;++i)
printf ("%d\n", i) ;
return 0;
}

I am getting output as 0 1 2.

Can any one explain why am not getting from 1 as I used pre-increment operator.

Please make the condition as for(i=1;i<=3;i++) , pre/post increment has no significance here.

What is mean by rest is garbage. ?

Balayogi said:   1 decade ago
Post or pre increments gives the same result when they are free,like i++ and ++i(i.e.without assignment)

Kuljeet said:   1 decade ago
@Chinnu- Rest is garbage means, the other %d's in the printf fuction will print any arbitrary value.. thats known as garbage value..

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

Then << is print on screen (becoz every special symbol or character print as well as written in double cotation " " )

Then it will print
8 = 1000 now shift to right 1 time. It will become 0100 = 4.
Then print Garbage value >> Garbage value
So,
Output will
2 >> 4 Garbage value >> Garbage value

@Gowda.

Arrange your number in three arrays see there is no number for 3rd row, 3rd column. So it's partially initialized which has default value zero.
