3.
What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a = 500, b = 100, c;
    if(!a >= 400)
        b = 300;
    c = 200;
    printf("b = %d c = %d\n", b, c);
    return 0;
}
b = 300 c = 200
b = 100 c = garbage
b = 300 c = garbage
b = 100 c = 200
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Initially variables a = 500, b = 100 and c is not assigned.

Step 1: if(!a >= 400)
Step 2: if(!500 >= 400)
Step 3: if(0 >= 400)
Step 4: if(FALSE) Hence the if condition is failed.
Step 5: So, variable c is assigned to a value '200'.
Step 6: printf("b = %d c = %d\n", b, c); It prints value of b and c.
Hence the output is "b = 100 c = 200"

if(!r)
p=!r?100:200;
else
p=r?300:400;

What will be the value of p when r is true? and when r is false?

Can anyone explain it to me?

You explained very well @Nanikanchari.

Here the condition is ;
int a = 500, b = 100, c;
if(!a >= 400)
So let me take only a>=400 okay. and a value is 500 we know;

So, it will be like 500>=400, so it is true. hence value '1' it will consider in the if() condition.
but we have '!' operator in front of it, so the value will be '0'.

Here, a is greater than b. But ! Operator is reverse so if condition is false. So after if the value of b is not take in consideration. After b=300; there is SEMICOLON so it terminates if loop. So we get only a and c values. Hope it helps.

As per my knowledge, it is;

int a=50, b,c;
if(a<=40)
b=100;
C=200;
printf ("%d %d ",b,c);

Than why mention b=300 here?

The c value is clearly mentioned out from the if loop. Hence as if the condition is failed since it takes only the c value and initial value of b. Hence the option is D.

Why are we assigning c = 200 when if the condition fails?

Here !a means not a, means a is false. And in c false means 0. So !a==0.
