Answer / vijay
The out put is "BYE".
Because the pointer p dies when function exit with out
return,in main pointer p points to only "BYE",so prinf
prints which p points in main.

Answer / smirnov_amm
It will show "HELL"
the f function reserve only 4 bytes with the sizeof(6). it will return the sizeof (int) =4 bytes.
So you only allocate 4 bytes.
When performing the strcpy, you will corupt memory because you'll copy more than allocate.

Answer / yathish m yadav
the output is "hello".
here we are overwriting pointer *p thrice.
that is in the function we get an piece of memory from
malloc and assigned to p,
in the statement strcpy(p,"hello");
the malloc memory is lost and the compiler creates an char
array and copies the string "hello" and it makes the
character array as constant.

Answer / deepa
the outpu is hello coz the pointer is pointing to a
location where the string "bye" is written in the next
program yu are using the same pointer to point to some
other string so it gets overwritten

Answer / anu
the output wll be hello , since the argument is overwritten
with new memory in the function.
so in main, when it comes to printf, p points to the
allocatd memory, which contains hello
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 3 No |
The output would be "HELLO"..
though we are not returning the string, we are making
direct changes at the memory location..
so "bye" will be overwritten with "HELLO"
because we are using pointers, the dying pointer scenario
is not applicabe here..
Its a pointer, not a variable..
This function will work similar to -> swapping two numbers
using pointers..
juss check that prog if you fnd somewhere.. :-)
you will get the logic... :-)
Cheers...

how to find string length wihtout using c function?
Question 1: You want to conduct a survey within your classroom, on the quality of canteen’s food. You ask each of your class fellows to rank the quality of food between 1 and 5 (1 representing excellent quality and 5 representing worst quality). During the survey, you make a list containing the roll# of student and the opinion given by that student. The list can be as follow Roll # Opinion 234 1 235 1 236 5 237 1 238 2 239 3 240 5 241 5 242 1 To get the results of the survey, you need to determine the frequency of each opinion value. The frequency of an opinion is determined by counting the number of students giving that opinion. For example, for the above list the frequency of opinion value 1 is 4 and frequency of opinion value 4 is 0. After getting the frequency of each opinion, you can easily judge about the quality of the food by seeing through the frequency of each opinion. You need to develop a program to calculate the results of this survey. The program inputs the opinion of 50 students and counts the frequency of each opinion. It then displays a report showing the frequency of each opinion. Sample output: Opinion Frequency Remarks 1 5 Excellent 2 10 Good 3 15 Normal 4 10 Bad 5 10 Really bad
