C#include <stdio.h> int main { char str[] = "12\763\045"; printf("%s\n", str); return 0;}What is the output of this code?
Correct answer: C. 12[some strange symbol]3
- A. 1276345
- B. 12763\045
- C. 12[some strange symbol]3
- D. Compiler warning or unpredictable behavior
Explanation
\763: Octal escape sequence representing a character (likely a non-printable one).\0: The null terminator, marking the end of the string. Hence, the output stops before printing '45'.
