SECTION III - ANALYSIS PROGRAM SEGMENTS
1) Here is the structure declaration of a doubly 
linked list 

struct dlink { 
int nodeid; 
struct dlink *next; 
struct dlink *prev; 
} dlink_t; 

A pointer of the head of the linked list is maintained 
as a global variable, 
whose definition is 
dlink_t *head; 

The funtion remove_element(dlink_t *rp), needs to 
remove the node pointed to 
the rp and adjust the head. 

The first node's prev and the last node's next are 
NULL. 

remove_element(dlink_t *rp) 

rp->prev->next = rp->next; 
rp->next->prev = rp->prev; 
if( head == rp) 
head = rp->next; 

Which of the following statement is true about the 
function remove_element 

A) It work when head is the same as rp 
B) It does not work when rp is the last element on the 
list 
c) It sets the head of the list correctly 
D) It works in all cases 

Answer :B 

2) Consider the following function written in c: 

#define NULL 0 

char * 
index(sp,c) 
register char *sp,c; 

do { 
if(*sp == c) 
return (sp); 
} while (*sp++); 
return NULL; 


The first argument sp, is a pointer to a C string. The 
second 
argument, c, is a character. This function scarches 
for the character 
c, in the string. If it is found a pointer to that 
location is returned 
else NULL is returned. 
This function works 
a) Always 
b) Always, but fails when the first byte contais the 
character c 
c) works when c is a non NULL character only 
d) Works only when the character c is found in the 
string 
answer: a

answer: e 

11-15 is the reasoning Questions: 
Occurs and Causes available in placement papers.com 

Six knights - P,Q,R,S,T and U - assemble for a long 
journey in two 
travelling parties. For security, each travelling 
party consists 
of at least two knights. The two parties travel by 
separate routes, 
northern and southern. After one month, the routes of 
the northern 
and southern groups converge for a brief time and at 
that point the 
knights can, if they wish, rearrange their travelling 
parties before 
continuing, again in two parties along separate 
northern and southern 
routes. Throughout the entire trip, the composition of 
travelling 
parties must be in accord with the following 
conditions 

P and R are deadly enemies and, although they may meet 
briefly, 
can never travel together. 
p must travel in the same party with s 
Q cann't travel by the southern route 
U cann't change routes 

16) If one of the two parties of knights consists of P 
and U and 
two other knights and travels by the southern route, 
the other members 
of this party besides P and U must be 
a) Q and S 
b) Q and T 
c) R and S 
d) R and T 
e) S and T 

answer: e 

17) If each of the two parties of knights consists of 
exactly three 
members, which of the following is not a possible 
travelling party 
and route? 
a) P,S,U by the northern route 
b) P,S,T by the northern route 
c) P,S,T by the southern route 
d) P,S,U by the southern route 
e) Q,R,T by the southern route 

ans: b 

18) If one of the two parties of knights consists of U 
and two other 
knights and travels by the northern route, the other 
memnbers of this party 
besides U must be 
a) P and S 
b) P and T 
c) Q and R 
d) Q and T 
e) R and T 

answer: c 

19) If each of the two parties of knights consists of 
exactly three 
members of different parties, and R travels by the 
northern route, 
then T must travel by the 
a) southern route with P and S 
b) southern route with Q and R 
c) southern route with R and U 
d) northern route with Q and R 
e) northern route with R and U 

answer: a 

20) If, when the two parties of knights encounter one 
another after 
a month, exactly one knight changes from one 
travelling party to the 
other travelling party, that knight must be 
a) P 
b) Q 
c) R 
d) S 
e) T 

answer: e
