Control Instructions
5.
Which of the following statements are correct about the below program? 
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i = 0;
    i++;
    if(i <= 5)
    {
        printf("IndiaBIX\n");
        exit(0);
        main();
    }
    return 0;
}
The program prints 'IndiaBIX' 5 times
The program prints 'IndiaBIX' one time
The call to main() after exit() doesn't materialize.
The compiler reports an error since main() cannot call itself.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Step 1: int i = 0; here variable i is declared as an integer type and initialized to '0'(zero).
Step 2: i++; here variable i is increemented by 1(one). Hence, i = 1
Step 3: if(i <= 5) becomes if(1 <= 5) here we are checking '1' is less than or equal to '5'. Hence the if condition is satisfied.
Step 4: printf("IndiaBIX\n"); It prints "IndiaBIX"
Step 5: exit(); terminates the program execution.

Hence the output is "IndiaBIX".

It also gives error that exit() was not declared in this scope.

Can we call main() function any where in the program?
Vikas said:   1 decade ago
But after exit() main() will be executed or not?
