Output is 2. why? ans. printf function will count the number of variables that has been scanned because you specify %d which refers to integer.

Hi Pravalika, First thing is you should not ask questions like this (o/p of program etc..), as you can always verify with any compiler you use. You should always ask questions like why such thing..? (Ex. you can ask why the o/p of above program is 5?) Thanks, Janardhan.

It would not compile at very first. So, there is no scope to run this code. Finally, it would not print anything on the output window.
