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

But while declaring the sequence is ok but in the output why the sequence change ?

@Sonu
first of all you need to observe program correctly because in program the variable atkt is used first which has value 2 assign already that's way output sequence is changed.

It is not necessary that enum types will always start from 0 and so on we can change it as enum xyz{A=2,B,C,Y=9,Z,J,K=11,M};
Here as A is declared with 2 so now B has index 3 n C has index 4 now see we have given Y with an index of 9 so Z and J will be indexed as 10 n 11 respectively and K will also share the same index as 11 and has index 12.

declaration of stud1,stud2, stud3 as int type is Ok. it will made to confuse.
