Program2

[Meenu]

The output of the following program confuses me

void main()
{
int x=10,y=20,z=5,i;
i=x<y<z;
printf("i=%d\n",i);
}

y<z is 0
x<0 is 1
i=x

The output of the following program confuses me

void main()

This is wrong. Use
int main(void)

{
int x=10,y=20,z=5,i;
i=x<y<z;
printf("i=%d\n",i);
}

i=x<y<z is equivalent to
i = ((x<y)<z); <--- x<y is True
i = ( 1 < z) <--- 1<y is True.
i = 1

y<z is 0
x<0 is 1
i=x

That's nice. On what do you base that assertion? See below.

The output of the following program confuses me
[1]

void main()
{
int x=10,y=20,z=5,i;
i=x<y<z;
printf("i=%d\n",i);
}

In both this and your other posting

[2]

main()
{
char str[]="part-time musicians are semiconductors";
int a=5;
printf(a>10?"%50s":"%s",str);
}

You are missing needed headers, since printf is a variadic function.
#include <stdio.h>

The 'void' return type for main() in [1] is wrong. main returns an int.
In [2], your main does return an int implicitly in C89 (or C90), where a
function that has no named returned type is assumed to return an int.
However, (a) implicit int is removed from the current standard, so [2]
is wrong under the current standard. Further, in C89 (and C90) in which
implicit int is allowed, main() should explicitly return a value.

In [2], there is no way to predict the output. To have a portable C
program, the last line of output to a stream must end in an end-of-line
('\n') character.

Now tell me that you're a troll and that I took the bait.

*the other way*

You've posted twice on this thread without providing any context or
attributions. I have no idea what you mean by "the other way".

The broken groups.google.com interface is partly responsible for this,
but only partly. It *is* possible to use groups.google.com properly.

The following has been posted here hundreds of times. Read it. Pay
attention to it.
