Q1:

What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i = 5;
    while(i-- >= 0)
        printf('%d,', i);
    i = 5;
    printf('\n');
    while(i-- >= 0)
        printf('%i,', i);
    while(i-- >= 0)
        printf('%d,', i);
    return 0;
}

ANS:A - 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1
4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1

Step 1: Initially the value of variable i is '5'.
Loop 1: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 5, this statement becomes while(5-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '4'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 2: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 4, this statement becomes while(4-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '3'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 3: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 3, this statement becomes while(3-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '2'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 4: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 2, this statement becomes while(2-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '1'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 5: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 1, this statement becomes while(1-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '0'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 6: while(i-- >= 0) here i = 0, this statement becomes while(0-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is satisfied and it prints '-1'. (variable 'i' is decremented by '1'(one) in previous while condition)
Loop 7: while(i-- >= 0) here i = -1, this statement becomes while(-1-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is not satisfied and loop exits.
The output of first while loop is 4,3,2,1,0,-1 Step 2: Then the value of variable i is initialized to '5' Then it prints a new line character(\n).
See the above Loop 1 to Loop 7 .
The output of second while loop is 4,3,2,1,0,-1
Step 3: The third while loop, while(i-- >= 0) here i = -1(because the variable 'i' is decremented to '-1' by previous while loop and it never initialized.). This statement becomes while(-1-- >= 0) Hence the while condition is not satisfied and loop exits.
Hence the output of the program is
4,3,2,1,0,-1
4,3,2,1,0,-1
