Which files will get closed through the fclose() in the following program?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *fs, *ft, *fp;
    fp = fopen("A.C", "r");
    fs = fopen("B.C", "r");
    ft = fopen("C.C", "r");
    fclose(fp, fs, ft);
    return 0;
}
"A.C" "B.C" "C.C"
"B.C" "C.C"
"A.C"
Error in fclose()
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Extra parameter in call to fclose().

On executing the below program what will be the contents of 'target.txt' file if the source file contains a line "To err is human"?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i, fss;
    char ch, source[20] = "source.txt", target[20]="target.txt", t;
    FILE *fs, *ft;
    fs = fopen(source, "r");
    ft = fopen(target, "w");
    while(1)
    {
        ch=getc(fs);
        if(ch==EOF)
            break;
        else
        {
            fseek(fs, 4L, SEEK_CUR);
            fputc(ch, ft);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}
r n
Trh
err
None of above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The file source.txt is opened in read mode and target.txt is opened in write mode. The file source.txt contains "To err is human".

Inside the while loop,

ch=getc(fs); The first character('T') of the source.txt is stored in variable ch and it's checked for EOF.

if(ch==EOF) If EOF(End of file) is true, the loop breaks and program execution stops.

If not EOF encountered, fseek(fs, 4L, SEEK_CUR); the file pointer advances 4 character from the current position. Hence the file pointer is in 5th character of file source.txt.

fputc(ch, ft); It writes the character 'T' stored in variable ch to target.txt.

The while loop runs three times and it write the character 1st and 5th and 11th characters ("Trh") in the target.txt file.

To scan a and b given below, which of the following scanf() statement will you use?
#include<stdio.h>

float a;
double b;
scanf("%f %f", &a, &b);
scanf("%Lf %Lf", &a, &b);
scanf("%f %Lf", &a, &b);
scanf("%f %lf", &a, &b);
Answer: Option
Explanation:

To scan a float value, %f is used as format specifier.

To scan a double value, %lf is used as format specifier.

Therefore, the answer is scanf("%f %lf", &a, &b);


9.
Out of fgets() and gets() which function is safe to use?
gets()
fgets()
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Because, In fgets() we can specify the size of the buffer into which the string supplied will be stored.

10.
Consider the following program and what will be content of t?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *fp;
    int t;
    fp = fopen("DUMMY.C", "w");
    t = fileno(fp);
    printf("%d\n", t);
    return 0;
}
size of "DUMMY.C" file
The handle associated with "DUMMY.C" file
Garbage value
Error in fileno()
Answer: Option
Explanation:

fp = fopen("DUMMY.C", "w"); A file DUMMY.C is opened in write mode and returns the file pointer to fp

t = fileno(fp); returns the handle for the fp stream and it stored in the variable t

printf("%d\n", t); It prints the handle number.
