4. Unions:
Choose the correct answer from the following multi-choice questions
I. Size of a union is determined by size of the.
a) First member in the union
b) Last member in the union
c) Biggest member in the union
d) Sum of the sizes of all members
II. Comment on the following union declaration?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. union temp
3. {
4. int a;
5. float b;
6. char c;
7. };
union temp s = {1,2.5,’A’}; //REF LINE
Which member of the union will be active after REF LINE?
a) a
b) b
c) c
d) Such declaration are illegal
III. What would be the size of the following union declaration?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. union uTemp
3. {
4. double a;
5. int b[10];
6. char c;
7. }u;
(Assuming size of double = 8, size of int = 4, size of char = 1)
a) 4
b) 8
c) 40
d) 80
IV. What type of data is holded by variable u int this C code?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. union u_tag
3. {
4. int ival;
5. float fval;
6. char *sval;
7. } u;
The variable u here
a) Will be large enough to hold the largest of the three types;
b) Will be large enough to hold the smallest of the three types;
c) Will be large enough to hold the all of the three types;
d) None of the mentioned
V. Members of a union are accessed as________________.
a) union-name.member
b) union-pointer->member
c) Both a & b
d) None of the mentioned
VI. What is the output of this C code?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. struct
3. {
4. char *name;
5. union
6. {
7. char *sval;
8. } u;
9. } symtab[10];
the first character of the string sval by either of
a) *symtab[i].u.sval
b) symtab[i].u.sval[0]
c) You cannot have union inside structure
d) Both a & b
VII. What is the output of this C code(size of int and float is 4)?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. union
3. {
4. int ival;
5. float fval;
6. } u;
7. void main()
8. {
9. printf(\"%d\", sizeof(u));
10. }
a) 16
b) 8
c) 4
d) 32
VIII. What is the output of this C code?
1. #include <stdio.h>
2. union stu
3. {
4. int ival;
5. float fval;
6. };
7. void main()
8. {
9. union stu r;
10. r.ival = 5;
11. printf(\"%d\", r.ival);
12. }
a) 9
b) Compile time error
c) 16
d) 5
Solution
4) Option b is correct
As in a union can hold at most one of the data members can be active at one time and value of it can be stored and size of union should be able to hold the largest member of it as other could be easily store in this size.
