What will be the content of 'file.c' after executing the following program?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *fp1, *fp2;
    fp1=fopen("file.c", "w");
    fp2=fopen("file.c", "w");
    fputc('A', fp1);
    fputc('B', fp2);
    fclose(fp1);
    fclose(fp2);
    return 0;
}

Error in opening file 'file1.c'
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Here fputc('A', fp1); stores 'A' in the file1.c then fputc('B', fp2); overwrites the contents of the file1.c with value 'B'. Because the fp1 and fp2 opens the file1.c in write mode.

Hence the file1.c contents is 'B'.

The above program cab compiled it gives segmentation faults, please explain.

Once we've already opened a file in 'w' mode, won't opening it again create some inconsistencies ?

What is the output for:

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

int arr[][3]={{1,2},{3,4,5},{5}};

printf("%d %d %d", sizeof(arr),arr[0][2],arr[1][2]);

return 0 ;

}

In C the compiler says 36 0 5. Yet there is no such answer in my choices, what other answer could it be?

Hi solo,

Here is explanation,

int arr[][3]={{1,2},{3,4,5},{5}};

Here the values in the first inner braces will be the values of Row 0, values in the second braces will be values of row 1 and so on. Now consider this consider this array initialization.

int arr[][3]={ {1,2} , /*row 0*/
{3,4,5}, /*row 1*/
{5}, /*row 2*/
};

arr[0][0]=1; arr[0][1]=2; arr[0][2]=0;
arr[1][0]=3; arr[1][1]=4; arr[1][2]=5;
arr[2][0]=5; arr[2][1]=0; arr[2][2]=0;

So array is 3 rows and 3 columns = arr[3][3];

Then the size of array is 4(for int)*3(row)*3(column) = 36;

arr[0][2]=0; and arr[1][2]=5;

@Shivam.

No consistencies. We can open the file twice though it is already opened and can write into it. As the file is opened in 'W' mode A is overridden by B.
