Discussion Forum : Functions - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 3)
3.
What will be the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int i;
int fun();
int main()
{
while(i)
{
fun();
main();
}
printf("Hello\n");
return 0;
}
int fun()
{
printf("Hi");
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Step 1: int i; The variable i is declared as an integer type.
Step 1: int fun(); This prototype tells the compiler that the function fun() does not accept any arguments and it returns an integer value.
Step 1: while(i) The value of i is not initialized so this while condition is failed. So, it does not execute the while block.
Step 1: printf("Hello\n"); It prints "Hello".
Hence the output of the program is "Hello".

All global variables are initialized to zero.
So here i=0
while(0) //false
So it prints 'Hello'.
So here i=0
while(0) //false
So it prints 'Hello'.

Global variable never gets initialized to zero. Unless you specify them.

What naveen said is correct, All global variables by default initialized to Zero.

Yes. Golbal variable is by default to 0 so while condition going to fail.

Yes by default all global variables are initialized to Zero(0)

Hey any global variable is get initialized to zero automatically.

Global variable is set to 0.
But output is not "Hello"
Function 'fun' has return type 'int'. Hence it expects a 'return <value>' in the end. Hence it becomes syntax error during compilation.

Ya all the global variable are intialised to zero it, s true I executed the programe also. Yes you can check it many books also.

Ya its correct global variable are initialized to zero by default.

Yes definitely global variables are set 0 by default but this output is correct or not.
