Top MCQs on Data Structures | DSA Quiz for Beginners

Option A: This syntax is a popular way of declaring variables, and not Array.
Option B: Array is not a keyword and hence cannot be used to declare an Array
Option C: No data type is defined here. So array cannot be created using this syntax
Option D: This syntax is optimal for creating an array, as it contains a data type, variable name, and the array size.

Hence D is the correct answer.

Option A: The size of the array should always be positive to store some number of elements.
Option B: The size of the array can never be negative, as we can never have negative number of elements to store. hence we can never have the size of array as negative.
Option C: Zero is also a whole number, but we can never have zero number of elements to store. Hence, we can never have size of array as a whole number.
Option D: Real number includes - positive, negative, and zero number. so we can not have this as a size of array, as mentioned above. So we can not consider the real number for size of array.

Hence ( A ) is the correct option.

Option A:  We can not initialize values within parenthesis, this syntax is incorrect for initializing values.
Option B: We can not initialize values separated by semi-colons, this syntax is incorrect for initializing values.
Option C: Here the number of elements exceeds the size of the array, so we can not consider this.
Option D: This is the correct way to initialize values into an array.

Hence Option (D) is correct.

Option A:  The reason you might not see a runtime error in this specific case is that C/C++ does not perform bounds checking by default. The compiler does not enforce any runtime checks to ensure that you are accessing array elements within their valid bounds.
Option B: It does not automatically give an output of 3 because you are accessing a memory location beyond the bounds of the array.
Option C: We are trying to access arr[4], which is beyond the valid range of indices, it will result in undefined behavior. as providing garbage value, not zero.
Option D: If you try to access arr[4], which is beyond the valid range of indices, it will result in undefined behavior. as providing garbage values.

Hence option (D) is correct.

"+" Operator is used for concatenation of two string.

Hence option (A) is the correct option.

The length method is used for calculating the number of characters present in a string.

Hence option (D) is correct.

first node

• In a circular linked list, the last node points to the first node in the list. This creates a circular structure where the last node connects back to the first node, forming a loop.

Hence Option (C) is incorrect.

The advantage of a linked list over an array is that a linked list is not of a fixed size. In an array, the size is determined when it is created, and it cannot easily be changed. In contrast, a linked list can dynamically grow or shrink as needed by adding or removing elements.

Hence (A) is the correct option.

In a linked list, each node contains two main components:

1. Data
2. Pointer / Reference

Hence (D) is the correct option.

The last node of a singly-linked list typically contains a pointer/reference that points to NULL or nullptr, indicating the end of the list. This pointer/reference is used to terminate the linked list and signifies that there is no next node after the last node.

Hence Option A is correct.
