Question

Why is the answer b), for this question? I came up with C) for my incorrect answer. This is under c programming.

a) *p = 5

b) *p = 55

c) *p = 0

d) None of the above

int main ()

int n = 5;

int *p = &n ;

n = 0;

*p = 55;

printf("*p = %d\n", n);

return 0;

Answer 1

Answer:- b) *p = 55   is correct output for this

explanation:-

int n = 5;

int *p = &n ; // here *p hold the address of n

n = 0; //here n is change to 0, but address of n is same

*p = 55; // here it is assigning 55 to the address of n, so the final value of n have 55.

printf("*p = %d\n", n);
