Q:

#define clrscr() 100

main()

{

clrscr();

printf( "%dn", clrscr() );

}

A) 100 B) 0
C) Compilation error D) Exception occurs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 100

Explanation:

Preprocessor executes as a seperate pass before the execution of the compiler. So textual replacement of clrscr() to 100 occurs.The input program to compiler looks like this :

main ()

{

100;

printf("%d\n",100);

}

Note: 100; is an executable statement but with no action. So it doesn't give any problem.
