#define CUBE(x) (x*x*x)
main()
{ int a,b=3;
a=cube(b++);
printf("%d %d",a,b);
}
What should be the value of a and b? My calc a=4 but syst
a=6 how pls tell me if you know it?

Answer / maitri
Couple of things:
a. macro is expanded as (x++ * x++ * x++)
b. what we have here is a postfix operator
so a = CUBE(3)=3*3*3
and b = 6 (incremented thrice)

Answer / vasanth
since macro is expanded like (x++ * x++ * x++) = (3 * 4 *
5) => a = 60
and final value of b = 5++ => 6
ans : 60, 6

Answer / pratap keshari
The output will be 27 6
b++ will be replaced as 3++ in the macro and these values
will be evaluated after the macro execution.Hence first it
will evaluate to 3's cube and then increment 3 three times

Answer / p. smith
27 4 is the output.
the call to the macro sets a = b*b*b with b = 3, 3 cubed is 27
then b is incremented to 4 after the macro call

the output on a my box:

a = 27
b = 6

Answer / prabhaaa
since macro is expanded like (x++ * x++ * x++) = (3 * 4 *
5) ..here the value increments in each of its position. first [3 *3++*(3++)++] = [3*4*4++]
= [3*4*5]
a = 60
and here b increments three times .3++=4, 4++=5 ,5++=6.
final value of b = 5++ => 6
ans : 60, 6

Answer / ashwini
above code have error.If used CUBE instead of cube then
output will be
A = CUBE(B++ * B++ * B++)
as ++ is post increment plus operator so A = 27 and then B
gets incremented three times so B = 6
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 4 No |
a will be 27 and b will be 6.
since the cube root of 3 is assigned to 'a' it will contain the value 27, and after this 'b' will gets incremented 3 times (x++ * x++ * x++) hence 'b' will become 6
so a = 27 b= 6

Answer / alan
it depends on the compiler
(x++ * x++ * x++) ==>correct.
the question is when x++?
Note the second time x++, it use the value of x or x++ of
the first x++?

Answer / jayprakash singh
in question we use #define CUBE(X) (X*X*X) but in main
function we use a=cube(b++);
what is this i think it is wrong it must be error at
compile time.
if we use a=CUBE(b++); instead of a=cube(b++);then output
will be 27 6
becuse 1st (3*3*3)=27 then increment of value b thrice so b=6

Define stl.
If P is the population on the first day of the year, B is the birth rate, and D is the death rate, the estimated population at the end of the year is given by the formula: The population growth rate is given by the formula: B – D Write a program that prompts the user to enter the starting population, birth and death rates, and n, the number of years. The program should then calculate and print the estimated population after n years. Your program must have at least the following functions: 1. growthRate: This function takes its parameters the birth and death rates, and it returns the population growth rate. 2. estimatedPopulation: This function takes its parameters the current population, population growth rate, and n, the number of years. It returns the estimated population after n years Your program should not accept a negative birth rate, negative death rate, or a population less than 2. please answer my question ....
