Loop Question 2:

What will be output of following c code?

        

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

    int i=2,j=2;

    while(i+1?--i:j++)

         printf("%d",i);

    return 0;

}

EXPLANATION

Output: 1

Explanation:

Consider the while loop condition: i + 1 ? -- i : ++j

In first iteration:

i + 1 = 3 (True)

So ternary operator will return -–i i.e. 1

In c 1 means true so while condition is true. Hence printf statement will print 1

In second iteration:

i+ 1 = 2 (True)

So ternary operator will return -–i i.e. 0

In c zero means false so while condition is false. Hence program control will come out of the while loop.
