Dummies in C Language with Example

When we are not collecting return value of the expression (or) if we are not using return value of the expression then it is called dummy statement.  

• Void main ()

{ Int a; A=10; A*5; ---> dummy statement. Printf (“a=%d”,a); } O/p: a=10 When we are working with dummy statements complier doesn’t gives any error, but we will get a warning msg called “code has no effect”  

• Void main()

{ Inta; A=5; A+10 ---> dummy statement Printf(“%d %d %d :,a,a*6,a); }  O/p : 5 30 5    

• Void main()

{ Int a=; A=5; Printf(“%d %d %d”, a,a=14); } O/p : 10 10 5  

• Void main()

{ Int a; A=10; ++a; Printf(“%d%d%d”,a ,a==5,a); } O/p: 11 0 11  

• Void main()

{ printf(“A”); Printf(“B”); If(5>8)||if(0) { Printf(“welcome”); Printf(“NIT”); } Printf(“c”); Printf(“D”); } O/p : ABCD  

• Void main()

{ Printf(“A”); Printf(“B”); If (5>8) Printf(“welcome”); Printf(“hello); Printf(“c”); Printf(“D”); } O/p : ABHelloCD  

• Void main()

{ Printf (“A”); Prinf(“B”); If (5>8); dummy condition { pirntf(“welcome”); Printf(“Hello”); } Printf(“CD”); } O/p:  AB Welcome Hello CD   If (5>8) { } { Printf(“welcome”); Printf(“Hello”); }

• Constructing the body is always optional .It is recommended to use the body when we are having multiple statements.
• If the body is not specified then automatically condition part will terminated with next semi colon(;)
• When we are placing the semi colon at the end of it ,then it is called dummy condition
• When the dummy condition is created then complier will creates new body without any statement and current body became outside of the condition.
• When we are working with the dummy condition if the condition is true or false always current body will be executed.

• Void main()

{ Int a; A=1; While (a<=10) { Printf(“%d”,a); ++a; } } O/p : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10  

• Void main()

{ Int a; A=1; While (a<=10) Printf(“%d”,a); ++a; } O/p : 1 1 1 1 ….. infinite loop cntrl+break. If the body is not specified for while , then is repeats the statement block by using single statement only until the condition become false, if the condition is no false then we will get infinite  loop.  

• Void main()

{int a; A=1; While(a<=10); à dummy loop. { Printf(“%d”,a); ++a; } } O/p: no o/p with infinite loop. Here dummy loop is While(a<=10); { } Printf(“%d”,a); ++a;}  

• When we are placing the semi colon at the end of while, it is called dummy loop.
• When the dummy loop is constructed, then complier will create new body without any statement and current body became outside of the loop.
• When we are working with the dummy loop, then empty body will repeats until the condition become false, if the condition is not false, then we will get infinite loop.
• Void main()

{ inta; a=10; if(a=0) assignment printf(“welcome %d”,a); else printf(“Hello%d”,a); } O/p: Hello 0    

• Void main()

{ int a; a=0; if (a=-5) printf(“Welcome %d”,a); else printf(“Hello %d”,a); } O/p:  Welcome-5

• Void main()

{ int a; a=1; while(a++); printf(“a=%d”,a); } O/p: a=1 (65536)  

• Void main()

{ int a; a=1; while(a++<32767); prinft(“a=%d”,a); } O/p: -32768  

• Void main()

{ int a; a=-1; while(a- - > -32767); prinft(“a=%d”,a); } O/p:- 32767  

• Void main()

{ int a,b; a=b=1; while(a) { A=b++<=3; Printf(“\n %d%d”,ab); } Printf(“\n a=%d b=%d,a+10,b+10); }   O/p: 1 6 1 7 1 8 0 9 A=10 b=19
