int main(){
void *pt;
pt = malloc(2*sizeof(double));
((double *)pt)[0] = 3.5;
((double *)pt)[1] = 1;

pt(1);
}

Your answer :

1
4. What will be printed by the program below?
int *func(){
static int ar[3]={1, 5, 10};
return(ar);
}
int main(){
int *pt=func();
printf("%d %d\n", *pt, pt[2]);
}
Your answer :
5. Running a program under Bash resulted in a process P, with its pid=2000. Let P create a
process P1 and let P1 create a process P2. What will be the pgids of P1 and P2?
Your answer :
pgid(P1)= pgid(P2)=
6. What will be printed by the program below?
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int buffer[4] = {0, 1, 5, 3};
int *ptr;
for(ptr=buffer+3; ptr >= buffer; ptr--)

Your answer :
7. In a single sentence, what does the shell-script below do?
AA=1000000000
for BB in ‘ls *.$1‘; do
CC=‘cat $BB | wc -c‘
if [[ $AA -ge $CC ]]; then # -ge is great or equal
AA=$CC ; DD=$BB
fi
done
echo $DD
Your answer :
8. What will be printed by the following bash line?
sort file.txt | uniq | wc -w, assuming file.txt conatins the following lines:
Prince

 9. In a single sentence, what does the program below do?

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

DIR *dp;
struct dirent *dirp;
int n=0;

dp = opendir("./");
while( (dirp=readdir(dp))!=NULL)
if(dirp->d_type == DT_DIR)
n++;
printf("%d\n", n)
closedir(dp);
}

Your answer :

10. What will appear on the screen after 6 seconds, when the program below executes:

void action(){}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int pid;
signal(SIGUSR1, action);
pid=fork();
ProcessJob(pid);

11. Assuming we cannot use kill to terminate this script, explain in a single sentence how can
we terminate it?

A=0
trap ’
echo Nice try
’ TSTP # TSTP is CTR-Z
trap ’
echo Nice try
let "A = $A + 1"
if [[ $A -eq 5 ]]; then
exit 0
fi
’ INT #INT is CTR-C

while : ; do
echo Still alive
sleep 3
done

Your answer :

12. Correct the following bash script so that it will work properly.

dir=/bin/
for BB in ls dir ; do
if [ -f $BB ] ; then
chmod +x BB
fi
done

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

int n, m=-1000, fd, i;
char data[10][1000];

fd=open(argv[1], O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC);
for(i=0; i< 10; i++)
write(fd, data[i], 1000);
n=lseek(fd, m, SEEK_CUR);
printf("Value= %d\n", n);
}

Your answer : value=

16. What will appear on the screen when the following program runs?

void action(){}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

write(fd, buffer1, strlen(buffer1));
write(STDOUT_FILENO, buffer2, strlen(buffer2));
dup2(fd, STDOUT_FILENO); // STDOUT_FILENO is the screen
write(fd, buffer1, strlen(buffer1));
