Discussion Forum : Declarations and Initializations - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 1)
1.
What is the output of the program given below ?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
enum status { pass, fail, atkt};
enum status stud1, stud2, stud3;
stud1 = pass;
stud2 = atkt;
stud3 = fail;
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", stud1, stud2, stud3);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
enum takes the format like {0,1,2..) so pass=0, fail=1, atkt=2
stud1 = pass (value is 0)
stud2 = atkt (value is 2)
stud3 = fail (value is 1)
Hence it prints 0, 2, 1

Here enum is enumerated data type.
It will give sequential no's to variables declared in braces in program pass=0, fail=1, atkt=2.
Hence they are assigned to std1, std2, std3.
See the sequence in printf statement then determine the answer.

Explanation given by Ram krushna is correct and by the way jeevan enum's syntax is like this that's why it start from 0

YES as we know that the array begins with a[0], like this only the in enum it is initialized to 0 first.
Am I correct? Please say if anything wrong.

@purnima
you are absolutely correct.
@Tejas
enumerated data type is a user defined data type.we can define any kind of variables,functions and enum assigns integer numbers to those variables that we declared in sequential manner like 0,1,2,3.........etc
