What will be the final values of a and c in the following C statement? (Initial values: a = 2, c = 1) c = (c) ? a = 0 : 2;

Answer: Option A

Initial values: a = 2, c = 1;

The statement is: c = (c) ? a = 0 : 2;

This is a ternary conditional expression. The condition is (c), which means if c is non-zero, the expression before the colon is executed.

Since c = 1 (non-zero), the true part is executed: a = 0

Then the value of the true expression (a = 0) is assigned to c.

So now:

a becomes 0

c becomes 0 (since the result of a = 0 is 0)

Final values: a = 0, c = 0
