This quiz covers topics such as variables, data types, operators, control structures, and basic syntax to test your knowledge about the
fundamentals of C programming.
Last Updated : May 20, 2025 Discuss
Question 1
In the C language (GATE CS 2002)
A At most one activation record exists between the current activation record and the activation record for the main
The number of activation records between the current activation record and the activation record for the main
B
depends on the actual function calling sequence.
C The visibility of global variables depends on the actual function calling sequence.
Recursion requires the activation record for the recursive function to be saved on a different stack before the recursive
D
function can be called.

Question 4
Why do statically typed languages like C generally perform better than dynamically typed languages like Python?
A Type is decided at compile time, reducing runtime overhead.
B They allocate memory at runtime dynamically.
C They use an interpreter instead of a compiler.
D They allow implicit data type conversion.
