Questions and Answers

What happens if the number of values to be initialized is more than the size of the array in C?

  • The array size is dynamically adjusted
  • An error is reported during compilation (correct)
  • The excess values are truncated
  • The compiler allocates additional memory locations automatically

If an array is partially initialized in C, what value are the uninitialized elements assigned?

  • Values from a predefined list
  • Random values
  • Values based on the memory address
  • Default values (e.g., 0) (correct)

In C, what happens when an array is initialized with all elements as 0?

  • Memory locations remain uninitialized
  • Compiler initializes all elements to 1
  • Compiler throws an error
  • All elements are set to zero by the compiler (correct)
