Yes

No

Decimal system

Hexadecimal system

Octal system

No need to convert

Assunming, integer is 2 byte, What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("%x", -1>>1);
    return 0;
}

ffff

0fff

Which of the following statements are correct about the program?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int num;
    int i;
    scanf("%u", &num);
    for(i=0; i<16; i++)
    {
        printf("%d", (num<<i & 1<<15)?1:0);
    }
    return 0;
}

It prints all even bits from num

It prints all odd bits from num

It prints binary equivalent num

Error

Left shifting a number by 1 is always equivalent to multiplying it by 2.

True

False

Bitwise can be used to reverse a sign of a number.

Yes

No

Which bitwise operator is suitable for turning off a particular bit in a number?

&& operator

& operator

|| operator

! operator

If an unsigned int is 2 bytes wide then, What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int m = 32;
    printf("%x", ~m);
    return 0;
}

Which of the following statements are correct about the program?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int num;
    int c=0;
    scanf("%u", &num);
    for(;num;num>>=1)
    {
        if(num & 1)
            c++;
    }
    printf("%d", c);
    return 0;
}

It counts the number of bits that are ON (1) in the number num.

It counts the number of bits that are OFF (0) in the number num.

It sets all bits in the number num to 1

Error

In the statement expression1 >> expression2. if expression1 is a signed integer with its leftmost bit set to 1 then on right shifting it the result of the statement will vary from computer to computer

True

False

Bitwise can be used to generate a random number.

Yes

No

Which bitwise operator is suitable for turning on a particular bit in a number?

&& operator

& operator

|| operator

| operator

Assuming a integer 2-bytes, What will be the output of the program?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("%x", -1<<3);
    return 0;
}

Which of the following statements are correct about the program?

#include<stdio.h>
char *fun(unsigned int num, int base);

int main()
{
    char *s;
    s=fun(128, 2);
    s=fun(128, 16);
    printf("%s",s);
    return 0;
}
char *fun(unsigned int num, int base)
{
    static char buff[33];
    char *ptr = &buff[sizeof(buff)-1];
    *ptr = '';
    do
    {
        *--ptr = "0123456789abcdef"[num %base];
        num /=base;
    }while(num!=0);
    return ptr;
}

It converts a number to a given base.

It converts a number to its equivalent binary.

It converts a number to its equivalent hexadecimal.

It converts a number to its equivalent octal.

Bitwise & and | are unary operators

True

False

Bitwise | can be used to multiply a number by powers of 2.

Yes

No

Which bitwise operator is suitable for checking whether a particular bit is on or off?

&& operator

& operator

|| operator

! operator

If an unsigned int is 2 bytes wide then, What will be the output of the program ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int a=0xffff;
    ~a;
    printf("%x", a);
    return 0;
}

Which of the following statements are correct about the program?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int m[] = {0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, 0x80};
    unsigned char n, i;
    scanf("%d", &n);
    for(i=0; i<=7; i++)
    {
        if(n & m[i])
            printf("yes");
    }
    return 0;
}

It will put OFF all bits that are ON in the number n

It will test whether the individual bits of n are ON or OFF

It will put ON all bits that are OFF in the number n

It will report compilation errors in the if statement.

Bitwise & can be used to check if more than one bit in a number is on.

True

False

Bitwise & can be used to check if a bit in number is set or not.

True

False

Yes

No

What will be the output of the program?
