Discussion Forum : Strings - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 8)
8.
What will be the output of the program ?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str[7] = "IndiaBIX";
printf("%s\n", str);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Here str[] has declared as 7 character array and into a 8 character is stored. This will result in overwriting of the byte beyond 7 byte reserved for '\0'.

If we assign more elements than array size then Turbo C gives complie time erro "Too many initialisers".

Gcc compilation shows that only the first seven characters are going to be printed. The correct answer should be option D. None of these.

A compile time error comes in Turbo C-"Too many initialisers".

Looks like that the answers depends on the compiler used, so option C would be the ans, since one can't predict the answer.

Online C compiler also gives the answer like option D.

In the gcc compiler output observed "IndiaBi" with following warning:
Warning : Initializer-string for array of chars is too long [enabled by default].
char str[7] = "IndiaBIX";
Warning : Initializer-string for array of chars is too long [enabled by default].
char str[7] = "IndiaBIX";

Why shouldn't be the answer of this question is an error can anyone explain me?

Answer can be Indiabi since when we compile this progamme it is giving Indiabi as answer someone is saying it depends on the compiler. Based on that condition we can say that answer is not predictable.

Answer for these question will be none of above because output of the program is IndiaBI and it is constant and no other option matches the output so answer will be none of above.

Since the answer depends on compiler hence cannot predict option C.
