Discussion Forum : Control Instructions - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 6)
6.
What will be the output of the program, if a short int is 2 bytes wide?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
short int i = 0;
for(i<=5 && i>=-1; ++i; i>0)
printf("%u,", i);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
for(i<=5 && i>=-1; ++i; i>0) so expression i<=5 && i>=-1 initializes for loop. expression ++i is the loop condition. expression i>0 is the increment expression.
In for( i <= 5 && i >= -1; ++i; i>0) expression i<=5 && i>=-1 evaluates to one.
Loop condition always get evaluated to true. Also at this point it increases i by one.
An increment_expression i>0 has no effect on value of i.so for loop get executed till the limit of integer (ie. 65535)

I can't understand this for loop. Please explain the working method.

This question confuses the for loop structure. Can you explain me?.

I didn't understand.
When i=6 then the condition will false right.
When i=6 then the condition will false right.

This doesn't getting terminated even after the value exceeds 65535.

It's an endless loop, isn't it? ++i will never break the loop.

%u --> It is to display the data as unsigned integer.

@shilpa great explanation. Now I cleared my doubt.

++i will break the loop when the value of i is 0.
