Question in Arrays - Give an advice

PBIRBAS

The following problem has to do with Arrays. I would appreciate if someone could give an explanation in this assumption below:

If we assume that SIZE is a catholic constant with value 100 and A is Array of size SIZE with n stored elements from left to right. If it is assumed that Array's elements are not initialised and at n first position there are numbers from 1 to n in ascending numerical order, what will be the printout of the following command and why ?
for (i=0; i<SIZE; i++)
printf("%d, " A[i]);
Thanks in advance...

This is a contradiction. Either the array is uninitialized or it is initialized to numbers from 1 to n in ascending numerical order.

I suggest you seek clarification from whoever gave you the problem.

I am confused as to the meaning of catholic constant. But I second donbock's answer, the question in itself is a contradiction.

What is the meaning for CATHOLIC CONSTANT here... ??? Explain your quiestion little more...

The phrase 'catholic constant' refers to a constant that is accessible in all scopes; perhaps because it is defined in a header that is included by all source files or perhaps because it is defined at the top of the source file or perhaps because it is a global variable. This is an unusual phrase but not an unusual concept. It has nothing to do with religion.
