Question
For a C program accessing Which one of the following statements about the source code for the C program is CORRECT?
X[i][j][k], the following intermediate code is generated by a compiler. Assume that the size of an integer is 32 bits and the size of a character is 8 bits.t0 = i * 1024
t1 = j * 32
t2 = k * 4
t3 = t1 + t0
t4 = t3 + t2
t5 = X[t4]
Correct answer
(A) X is declared as “int X[32][32][8]”.
Solution
The address calculation for an element in a 3D array using row-major order is given by:From the provided intermediate code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
If is an array of int (where sizeof(int) = 4 bytes), the byte offset is:Comparing this with :int X[N1][32][8]. Option (A) matches this structure.Continue learning with Success Tracker
