Q.1 a.  What is meant by compilation? What is meant by interpretation? How do these                             two processes differ?

       b.  To free we only pass the pointer to the block of memory that we want to deallocate. Then             how does free( ) function know how many bytes it should deallocate?

               c.  What is meant by associativity? Discuss the associativity of arithmetic operators.

  

             d.  If a[i] = i++ is undefined, then by the same reason i = i+1 should be undefined. But it        is not so. Why?

 

       e.  Discuss the characteristics of (i) extern variable (ii) automatic variable.

       f.  What are the two ways of opening a file? Explain with example.

       g.  If a = 7, b = 5, c = 3, what is output of (a>b?(a>c?3:4):(b>c?6:8))                                (74)
