Pointers

Will the program compile?

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char str[5] = "IndiaBIX";
    return 0;
}

True

False

Answer: Option

Explanation:

C doesn't do array bounds checking at compile time, hence this compiles.

But, the modern compilers like Turbo C++ detects this as 'Error: Too many initializers'.

GCC would give you a warning.
