Discussion Forum : Control Instructions - Point Out Correct Statements (Q.No. 9)
9.
Point out the correct statements are correct about the program below?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char ch;
    while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
        printf("ASCII value of %d character %c\n", x, x);
    return 0;
}
The code generates an infinite loop
The code prints all ASCII values and its characters
Error: x undeclared identifier
Error: while statement missing
Answer: Option
Explanation:

There are 2 errors in this program.
1. "Undefined symbol x" error. Here x is not defined in the program.
2. Here while() statement syntax error.

The compiler shows error like that.

Here fr.c is a file name. it shows the first error as x is undeclared. So the answer of this question should be C, not D.
In function 'main':

fr.c:5:11: error: 'x' undeclared (first use in this function)
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
^
fr.c:5:11: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
fr.c:5:14: error: expected ')' before ';' token.
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)

@All.

char ch;
Step 1: a variable (ch) is declared as a character.

while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
printf("ASCII value of %d character %c\n", x, x);

Step 2: (i) x is undeclared and this error comes first when you run the computer...
(ii) syntax of while loop is wrong.
Instead it is like this
->> while(x<=255)
{
statement(s);
}

Your answer is wrong this program.

The first error is x undeclared identifier.
(1)

err.c: In function \'main\':
err.c:5:11: error: \'x\' undeclared (first use in this function)
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
^
err.c:5:11: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
err.c:5:14: error: expected \')\' before \';\' token
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
=======================================================

First, the compiler will check during compilation, after while loop it will check for ' x ' which is undeclared.

It will generate error, And next will be the While loop syntax error.

Simply explain in a program.

Please make it as simple and understandable. What is the correct format of while loop?

Guddu said:   9 years ago
It showing error as,

sh-4.3$ gcc -o main *.c
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:5:11: error: 'x' undeclared (first use in this function)
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)
^ main.c:5:11: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in,
main.c:5:14: error: expected ')' before ';' token
while(x=0;x<=255;x++)

So I think the answer should be C only.

How to know which error will come first?

Balaram sahu said:   1 decade ago
Syntax of while statement is wrong and also x is not declared in the programme.

Praveen said:   1 decade ago
Ambiguous Answers, X is undeclared and while statement is wrong.
Depends on Compiler to show which error first.
How it parses the program.

In option both x undeclared and while error should be as one answer.
