Q:

If I use the following printf() to print a long int why I am not warned about the type mismatch?

printf ("%d",num );

Answer

When a function accepts a variable number of arguments , its prototype cannot provide any information about the number of arguments and type of those variable arguments. Hence the compiler cannot warn about the mismatches. The programmer must make sure that arguments match or must manually insert explicit typecast.

Q:

How would you check whether the contents of two structure variables are same or not?

Answer

struct emp


{


     char n[20];


      int age;


};


main()


{


    struct emp e1 = {"Dravid", 23};


   struct emp e2;


   scanf ("%s %d",e2.n, & e2.age);


   if( structcmp (e1,e2) ==0)


        printf ("The structures are equal");


   else


         printf ("The structures are unequal");


}


structcmp ( struct emp x, struct emp y)


{


     if (strcmp (x.n,y.n) ==0)


           if (x.age == y.age)


            return (0);


            return (1);


}


In short, if you nee to compare two structures, you'll have to write your own function to do so which carries out the comparison field by field.
