1.

What is the basic structure of a C program?

a)

Only includes the main function and return statement.

b)

The basic structure of a C program includes preprocessor directives, the main function, variable declarations, statements, and a return statement.

c)

Consists solely of variable declarations and comments.

d)

Requires a graphical user interface to run.

2.

What are the main components of a C program?

a)

Data types and structures

b)

The main components of a C program are preprocessor directives, functions, variables, and statements.

c)

Comments and documentation

d)

Error handling and debugging

3.

How do you define a function in C?

a)

return_type function_name(parameter_name) { // body }

b)

function return_type(parameter_name: parameter_type) { // function body }

c)

function_name return_type(parameter_type parameter_name) { // function body }

d)

A function in C is defined as: return_type function_name(parameter_type parameter_name) { // function body }

4.

What is the purpose of the main() function in a C program?

a)

The main() function is responsible for memory allocation.

b)

The main() function is where all the functions are declared.

c)

The main() function is the entry point of a C program.

d)

The main() function is used for defining global variables.

5.

What are header files and how are they used in C?

a)

Header files are not necessary for C programming.

b)

Header files are only used for comments in C.

c)

Header files are used to store executable code directly.

d)

Header files are used to declare functions, macros, and variables, facilitating code reuse and organization in C programming.

6.

Explain the role of preprocessor directives in C.

a)

Preprocessor directives are used for memory management in C.

b)

Preprocessor directives in C facilitate code inclusion, macro definition, and conditional compilation.

c)

Preprocessor directives handle runtime errors in C.

d)

Preprocessor directives are responsible for user input handling in C.

7.

What is the syntax for including a standard library in a C program?

a)

using

b)

import

c)

#include

d)

#include {library_name}

8.

How do you declare variables in C?

a)

declare variableName as int;

b)

var variableName: int;

c)

int variableName = new;

d)

Variables in C are declared by specifying the data type followed by the variable name, e.g., 'int variableName;'.

9.

What is the significance of the return type in a function declaration?

a)

The return type specifies the function's name.

b)

The return type determines the function's execution time.

c)

The return type indicates the number of parameters a function can take.

d)

The return type indicates the type of value a function will return, ensuring correct usage and aiding in type checking.

10.

How do comments enhance the readability of a C program?

a)

Comments replace the need for clear variable names.

b)

Comments slow down program execution.

c)

Comments are only useful for debugging.

d)

Comments enhance readability by providing context, clarifying logic, and improving maintainability.
