ANSWER : Option A 0 0
SOLUTION :
Turbo C++ 3.0: 0 0
Turbo C ++4.5: 0 0
Linux GCC: 0 0
Visual C++: 0 0

Consider on the expression:

x = 10 +- 10u + 10u +- 10;
10: It is signed integer constant.
10u: It is unsigned integer constant.
X: It is signed integer variable.
In any binary operation of dissimilar data type for example: a + b
Lower data type operand always automatically type casted into the
operand of higher data type before performing the operation
and result will be higher data type.
As we know operators enjoy
higher precedence than binary operators. So our expression is:
x = 10 + (-10u) + 10u + (-10);
= 10 + -10 + 10 + (-10);
=0
Note: Signed is higher data type than unsigned int.
So, Corresponding signed value of unsigned 10u is +10

4. short

Q.9 Which is correct with respect to size of the datatypes?

A. char > int > float
B. int > char > float
C. char < int < double
D. double > char > int
ANSWER : Option C char < int < double.
SOLUTION :
char has lesser bytes than int and
int has lesser bytes than double in any system
Char is 1 byte,int is 2 byte,double more than them.

Q.12 What is the size of an int data type?

A. 4 Bytes
B. 8 Bytes
C. Depends on the system/compiler
D. cannot be determined

Since the size of a union is the size of its maximum datatype,

here int is the largest hence 4.

Q.13 Which of the datatypes have size that is variable?

A. int
B. struct
C. float

it has a variable size. Struct is a user defined data type .
It does not contain fixed size.
Depend on there definition size may be changed.

By default data type of numeric constants is:

6.5 : double
90000: long int
'A': char
In C size of data type varies from compiler to compiler.
In TURBO C 3.0 (16 bit compilers) size of:
double is 8 byte
