C Programming - Control Instructions

Exercise : Control Instructions - Point Out Errors
6.
Point out the error, if any in the program. 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int P = 10;
    switch(P)
    {
       case 10:
       printf("Case 1");

       case 20:
       printf("Case 2");
       break;

       case P:
       printf("Case 2");
       break;
    }
    return 0;
}
Error: No default value is specified
Error: Constant expression required at line case P:
Error: There is no break statement in each case.
No error will be reported.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The compiler will report the error "Constant expression required" in the line case P: . Because, variable names cannot be used with case statements.

The case statements will accept only constant expression.

7.
Point out the error, if any in the program. 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i = 1;
    switch(i)
    {
        case 1:
           printf("Case1");
           break;
        case 1*2+4:
           printf("Case2");
           break;
    }
return 0;
}
Error: in case 1*2+4 statement
Error: No default specified
Error: in switch statement
No Error
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Constant expression are accepted in switch

It prints "Case1"

8.
Point out the error, if any in the while loop. 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    void fun();
    int i = 1;
    while(i <= 5)
    {
        printf("%d\n", i);
        if(i>2)
            goto here;
    }
return 0;
}
void fun()
{
    here:
    printf("It works");
}
No Error: prints "It works"
Error: fun() cannot be accessed
Error: goto cannot takeover control to other function
No error
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A label is used as the target of a goto statement, and that label must be within the same function as the goto statement.

Syntax: goto <identifier> ;
Control is unconditionally transferred to the location of a local label specified by <identifier>.
Example:


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i=1;
    while(i>0)
    {
        printf("%d", i++);
        if(i==5)
          goto mylabel;
    }
    mylabel:
    return 0;
}

Output: 1,2,3,4

9.
Point out the error, if any in the program. 
#include<stdio.h> 
int main()
{
    int a = 10, b;
    a >=5 ? b=100: b=200;
    printf("%d\n", b);
    return 0;
}
100
200
Error: L value required for b
Garbage value
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Variable b is not assigned.

It should be like:

b = a >= 5 ? 100 : 200;
