50. Consider following C Program
int main() {
int arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,5}, ip*arr+4;
printf("%d\n", ip[2]);
return 0;
}
The number that will be displayed on execution of the program is _____.
Explanation: Here int arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,5} This line declares an integer array arr with 13 elements.
int *ip = arr + 4;: This line declares an integer pointer ip and initializes it to point to the fifth element of the array arr (arrays are zero-indexed in C).
printf("%d\n", ip[2]);: This line prints the value of the third element (index 2) of the array that ip points to. Since ip points to the fifth element of arr, ip[2] is equivalent to arr[6].
return 0;: This line indicates that the program executed successfully.
Now, let's look at the array indices:
arr[6] is 7.
So, when you run this program, it will print 7 as the output.
