What will be the output of the questions?( C programming)

Question

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
int a=4,b=2;
if( a^b==printf("practice"))
printf("sucess");
else
printf("c");
}

Answer 1

Diptansu das put your a^b inside brackets like this (a^b) and the output would be practicec only.

Answer 2

Output will be practicec.

Explanation:

printf returns the length of output. In this case length of "practice". As you can see it is 8 characters long.

8 is not equal to a^b so it will result "c" .
You have recently printed practice without a new line so the final output is practicec.

However if you changed a^b to a*b it will result in "success" as 4*2 is 8.

(edited. There was a mistake. I confused ^ as 'to the power of' as I was working with a lot of calculators lately rather than programming. :) It's fixed now)

Answer 3

In if loop 1st it calculate xor of a and b (4^2=6) and second condition print success on screen and return no. Length of string ie 8
So 6==8 gives false
therefore else part get executed

Output : practicec

Answer 4

Diptansu das Why don't you run it and see for yourself. If you don't understand something then post it.

Answer 5

Actually the answer is not corr ct

Answer 6
