Predict the output or error(s) for the following:

1 . void main(){ int const * p=5; printf("%d",++(*p)); } Answer: Compiler error: Cannot modify a constant value. Explanation: p is a pointer to a "constant integer". But we tried tochange the value of the "constant integer". 2. main() {  char s[ ]="man"; int i;  for(i=0;s[ i ];i++) printf("\n%c%c%c%c",s[i],*(s+i),*(i+s),i[s]); } Answer: mmmm aaaa nnnn Explanation: s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea. Generally array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i]. 3 . main(){  float me = 1.1;  double you = 1.1;  if(me==you) printf("I love U"); else printf("I hate U"); } Answer: I hate U Explanation : For floating point numbers (float, double, long double)
