Answer / cj

Numeric items are moved right to left (before the decimal
point) and left to right (after the decimal point) from
source item to the destination item.

So the answer for the first move=> Variable b will have
value 000123 in it. (In the question value 123 should be
within quotes)

Alphanumeric (as well as alphabetic) items are moved left to
right from source item to destination item.

So the answer for the second move=> Variable b will have abc
stored in it. (In the question value abc should be within
quotes)

Answer / chowdary

after executing this program output will be

b value is 000123
and
b value is abc
there is no blanks after abc in b, because we have taken
its length as 3 in pic clause.
