Exercise : Library Functions - General Questions
1.
What will the function rewind() do?
Reposition the file pointer to a character reverse.
Reposition the file pointer stream to end of file.
Reposition the file pointer to begining of that line.
Reposition the file pointer to begining of file.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
rewind() takes the file pointer to the beginning of the file. so that the next I/O operation will take place at the beginning of the file.
Example: rewind(FilePointer);
2.
Input/output function prototypes and macros are defined in which header file?
conio.h
stdlib.h
stdio.h
dos.h
Answer: Option
Explanation:
stdio.h, which stands for "standard input/output header", is the header in the C standard library that contains macro definitions, constants, and declarations of functions and types used for various standard input and output operations.
3.
Which standard library function will you use to find the last occurance of a character in a string in C?
strnchar()
strchar()
strrchar()
strrchr()
Answer: Option
Explanation:

strrchr() returns a pointer to the last occurrence of character in a string.

Example:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    char str[30] = "12345678910111213";
    printf("The last position of '2' is %d.\n",
            strrchr(str, '2') - str);
    return 0;
}

Output: The last position of '2' is 14.

4.
What is stderr ?
standard error
standard error types
standard error streams
standard error definitions
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The standard error(stderr) stream is the default destination for error messages and other diagnostic warnings. Like stdout, it is usually also directed to the output device of the standard console (generally, the screen).
5.
Does there any function exist to convert the int or float to a string?
Yes
No
Answer: Option
Explanation:

1. itoa() converts an integer to a string.
2. ltoa() converts a long to a string.
3. ultoa() converts an unsigned long to a string.
4. sprintf() sends formatted output to a string, so it can be used to convert any type of values to string type.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
   int   num1 = 12345;
   float num2 = 5.12;
   char str1[20];
   char str2[20];

   itoa(num1, str1, 10); /* 10 radix value */
   printf("integer = %d string = %s \n", num1, str1);

   sprintf(str2, "%f", num2);
   printf("float = %f string = %s", num2, str2);

   return 0;
}

// Output:
// integer = 12345 string = 12345
// float = 5.120000 string = 5.120000
