Discussion Forum : Declarations and Initializations - Point Out Correct Statements (Q.No. 2)

Which of the following operations are INCORRECT?
int i = 35; i = i%5;
short int j = 255; j = j;
long int k = 365L; k = k;
float a = 3.14; a = a%3;
Answer: Option
Explanation:

float a = 3.14; a = a%3; gives "Illegal use of floating point" error.

The modulus (%) operator can only be used on integer types. We have to use fmod() function in math.h for float values.

It is very simple in C language we can not Apply % operator on float type value.

What if we don't put L in k= 365L?
