The Test On C: 4mark

This document contains 12 multiple choice questions about the C programming language. The questions cover topics like pointers, structures, functions, file I/O, and macros. They test understanding of concepts like byte padding, static variables, recursion, and passing arguments by reference. The goal is to identify errors, explain outputs, compare functions, and modify a structure to reduce its size.
