Question

#include <stdio.h>
int fun( )
{
static int num = 16;
return num - -;
}
int main ( )
{
for (fun( ); fun( ); fun ( ))
printf("%d", fun( ));
return 0;
}

• A. 1310741
• B. Infinite loop
• C. 1411852
• D. 1512852

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1411852

Since num is static in fun( ), the old value of num is preserved for subsequent function calls. Also, since the statement return num-- is postfix, it returns the old value of num and updates the value for next function call.
