2. Each statement below is either TRUE or FALSE. Choose the most appropriate one
and enter your choice in the “OMR” answer sheet supplied with the question paper,
following instructions therein.

2.1 Are the expression *ptr++ and ++*ptr are same?

2.2 3+=3; evaluates to 6
2.3 The default precision for printing of floating point values is 6. If the floating point
number is more precise than 6 digits, it will be rounded.
2.4 The following block of code sums up an input series of grades (terminated by -1)
while (grade !=-1);
total=total+grade;
counter=counter+1;
printf ”enter grade, -1 to end:”);
scanf(“%d”,&grade);
2.5 A double data type number uses 64 bit giving a precision of 14 digits
2.6. Every c program must have atleast one main() function section
2.7 The precedence of arithmetic operators is (from highest to lowest) %,*,/,+,-
2.8 Is the following statement valid in C?
int my_num=100,000;
2.9 void (*ptr)(int); ptr is pointer to int that converts its type to void
2.10 We need to recompile the program before executing it even if there is no change in
the source code.
