C Interview Questions and Answers

The type declaration allow to create a name synonym for the existing data types that can help to simplify the complex declaration.

Syntax
typedef type identifier; 

C is a high-level programming language and first developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT& T Bell Labs.

C supports both low-level (machine) and high level programing that is why it is also known as a mid-level programming language.

Advantage and disadvantage of C are
Advantages
It is a high-level programming languages that is closer to human languages, especially English.
C programs can be reused, by saving into a library file and invoking simply by including the library file.
C allows to access computer hardware and peripherals. 
It used compiler, so once program become executable code then we can run it without interacting the compiler.

Disadvantages 
It used complier so complied code not portable on different machine.
C is a procedural language, become difficult to maintain for large application.
Less support to GUI.

A variable is a name representation of memory storage location and that value can change between program execution.

Declaration associates type to the variable whereas definition is value assignment of the variable.

When variables are declared with the const keywordcalled constant. The value ofconstant never changed.

Local variable: A variable which is declared inside function or block is known as local variable.
Global variable: A variable which is declared outside function or block is known as global variable.

The storage class represent scope and storage type in memory of variable in C.
There are four types of storage cases: Auto,Extern,Static and Register

The auto keyword indicate that the memory location of a variable is temporary. Whereas by default every local variable of the function and block is automatic (auto). 

A variable declared with static keyword, is known as static variable. The static variable retains its value between multiple function calls and has permanent scope.

A variable is declared with a register storage class, known as register variable. The register variable is stored in the CPU register instead of main memory. 

Storing of frequently used variable in register might be speed up the code as variable access is faster from register in compare from memory. 

The sizeof operator can measure the data type size.

Converting one data type into another is known as type casting.

A function is a block of set of instruction that perform specific task.
Advantages
Reusability: function can be reuse in different place to perform same task
Code reduction: repeated code can move into function and can call function in place 
Modularity: task can be simplify by dividing that in modularity, that also increase readability

When declare functions with void then it will not require return a value.

The function can be called by another function and can call itself from a statement inside the body of the function itself. When function called itself then is said to be recursive.
