Please post me full explanation(not only answer)
I want to know how it works.

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
	int x=1, y=8, z;
	z= ++y + ++x + ++x;
	printf("z=%d", z);
}

what is output for below code and what is purpose of using const type for pointer variable p?

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
char a[10]="HELLO";
char *const p=a;
clrscr();

//puts(p);
printf("%s",p);
*p='n';
//puts(p);
printf("%s",p);
getch();
}

Int a=10;
Int b=a>15;
Print("%d",b);

a)15
b)10
c)0
d)1

#define mysizeof(x) (char*)(&x+1)-(char*)(&x)

//why casting is done to char* for mysizeof
// casting it to void also works

how to find all paths of a graph?
hi ,
i have a directed graph as an input and i want to find in that graph subGraphs that fit to some path

for example : i have the following graph 1[E] ->2[E] ->3[M]->4[E]->5[M]->6[M]->7[E]->8[M] .and i have the path E->M->E
then the program output should be the subGraph 2->3->4
note that the solution should be implemented as ADJ Matrix
the Graph is directed DAG
the program should be with C language

To find 5th prime number after 3. suppose input is 3 5 output should be 17
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int x;
for(; scanf("%d",&x) > 0 && x != 42; printf("%d\n", x));
return 0;
}

Implement a method for the following signature:

void * alignedAllocate(size_t sizeInBytes, size_t alignment) {
}

The method should allocate memory for the given size and the pointer should be aligned.
For example if

p = alignedAllocate(1000,64);

p%8 should be 0.

Implement a second method that deleted the pointer give p.

Extend the delete method to handle multiple p's.

Write a function which will sort a linked list efficiently. I explain merge sort, However interviewer was not agree with my answer.
Interviewer was expecting answer bubble sort along with backtracking. Not convinced or agreed with his opinion though.

What does the error "Null Pointer Assignment" mean and what causes this error ?
If found, what are basic approaches to debug this type of error ?

Insert a value into a sorted linked list.

Using C/C++ write a small function (around 5 lines in the body) to insert a value in a sorted linked list. Take into consideration that the list might be empty at first, and the function should cover the cases of insertion at the head and tail...

PS what the interviewer is looking for is the ability to write a small C/C++ code that solves the question and not the algorithm per se which is trivial

GLaDOS is feeling bored, so she decided to come up with a board game. The game is as follows. There is
board of dimension n x n (2 <= n <= 10). Each position in this board is either a 0 or a power of 2, between 2
and 2048. Once the board is set up, there are only two moves allowed - move all left or move all right.
The way move all left works is as follows:
For every row on the board, starting from the rightmost position each element is moved to its left. An
element with a zero value does not move. An element with non-zero value can move to its left if the value of
the element to its left is a 0 or has the same value as the current element.
In case, the element to the left is 0 then the element and 0 swap positions i.e., 4 0 0 4 would become 4 0 4 0
In case, the element to the left has the same value as the current element then the left element combines
with its right element and creates an element with double the value in place of the right element and leaves
a 0 in its current place. For e.g., 2 2 would become 4 0 or 2 2 2 2 would become 4 0 4 0.
The combining operation can cause a cascading operation i.e., if the new element created has the same
value as the element to its left, it can combine again.
For e.g., if a row had 8 4 2 2, move left would combine 2 and 2 to form 4 leading to 8 4 4 0. Now, it is
possible to combine further as the element to the left of 4 has the same value, thus after the second
combine, the row would be 8 8 0 0. And again 8 and 8 would form a 16. Thus the final values in the row
would be 16 0 0 0.
But if the row was 8 4 2 0 2, then moving left would result in 8 4 2 2 0. The cascading operation is allowed
only after a combination operation, There would no cascading operation if the element is swapped with 0.
Similar rules apply for move all right, wherein for every row elements starting from the leftmost position
move to their right.
You can either choose move all left or move all right operation but not both. Now given a state of the board,
you have determine what will be the maximum value on the board after either move all left or move all right.
Example
3
2 2 0
2 2 4
2 0 2
Move all left would result in:
4 0 0
4 0 4
2 2 0
The maximum value on the board after this move is 4.
Move all right would result in:
0 4 0
0 0 8
0 2 2
In the first row, 2 and 2 combines to form 4. In the second row, left most 2 combines with 2 to form 4. As the
element to its right has a value 4, combination operation cascades to form 8.
The maximum value on the board after this move is 8.
Now of the two operations, the higher of the two maximum values is 8. Thus the expected output is 8.
Input

Suppose a 2D array of arbitary length is given. Any alphabet is given as input in the form of 0's and 1's with the 1's forming the alphabetical pattern. the topmost, leftmost, rightmost and the bottommost 1's form the border of the pattern. Find the topmost, bottom-most, left-most and the right-most 1 and hence find the dimensions of the margin of the pattern or its height and the width.
