What will be the final values of a and c in the following C statement? (Initial values: a = 2, c = 1)
c = (c) ? a = 0 : 2;
c = (c) ? a = 0 : 2;A. a = 0, c = 0;
B. a = 2, c = 2;
C. a = 2, c = 2;
D. a = 1, c = 2;
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In the given C statement, there is a ternary operator being used. The ternary operator has the syntax:condition ? expression1 : expression2;If the condition evaluates to true, expression1 is executed; otherwise, expression2 is executed. In this case, the condition is
c. If c is true (non-zero), a will be assigned the value 0; otherwise, a will be assigned the value 2. Simultaneously, c will be assigned the value 2.Given that
c = 1, which is true (non-zero), a will be assigned 0 and c will be assigned 2.Therefore, the final values will be
a = 0 and c = 2. So, Option C: a = 2, c = 2; is correct. This Question Belongs to C Program >> C Fundamentals

What is the correct syntax for declaring a variable in C?
A. int variable_name;
B. variable_name = 5;
C. variable_name int;
D. int = variable_name;
It should be because
c = (c) ? a = 0 : 2; // a = 0 will become c's value as (c) is true since it has a non zero value
next step will be
c = a = 0; // in this one, c is also defined as 0
