C Fundamentals - C Programming MCQ Questions and Answers

The data type used to store a sequence of characters in C is Option A: char. In C, you can use an array of characters (often referred to as a "string") or simply a single character variable to store individual characters or sequences of characters.

So, the correct answer is:
Option A: char
In C, you can declare a character array (string) like this:

char myString[] = "Hello, World!";

In this example, 'myString' is an array of characters, and it can store a sequence of characters, including letters, digits, symbols, and spaces.

In C, the operator used for pointer-to-pointer relationships is Option A: *. The asterisk () operator is used for both declaring and dereferencing pointer variables. When you have a pointer-to-pointer (a pointer that points to another pointer), you use multiple asterisks to access the value pointed to by the second pointer.

So, the correct answer is:
Option A: *
Here's an example of a pointer-to-pointer relationship in C:

int num = 42;
int *ptr1 = # // Pointer to an integer
int **ptr2 = &ptr1; // Pointer to a pointer to an integer

// Access the value using the pointer-to-pointer
int value = **ptr2; // value is now 42

In this example, ptr2 is a pointer-to-pointer, and **ptr2 is used to access the value stored in num.
