#ifdef __STDC__ printf("You are conforming perfectly to the ANSI standards!\n"); #else printf("anti-ANSI programme!\n"); #endif _STD_ is a predefined symbol with value set to 1 or 0. if 1 then programme is follwowing strict ANSI C Standards. if 0 then not.

Hi Vibha, The ANSI C standard provides a predefined symbol named __STDC__ that is set to 1 when the compiler is enforcing strict ANSI standard conformance. If you want your programs to be 100 percent ANSI conformant, you should ensure that the __STDC__ symbol is defined.

ANSI C standard provides a predefined symbol _STDC_. To check whether your program follows ANSI C Standard you can write a #ifdef code like: #ifdef _STDC_ (if yes your code) #else (if no your code) #endif

Can you assign a different address to an array tag?
Nope, because Array Tag/Name is an alias or name to the first location of the array. It doesn't have any memory of its own (pointers do have their own memory).

What is meant by "bit masking"?
For example if you want to know if third bit is 1 or not for an int x then you can mask all other bits and just check the third one: (n & 0x04) != 0 means 3rd bit is not zero, 0x04 is the bit mask
