And you couldn't figure this on your own by taking a simple piece of paper and a pencil?

[Former Member]

SAMEER SIR.........

IF U DON'T KNW THE ANS , JUST KEEP QUITE...OK

[Former Member]

Well if you don't know the answer either (which is obvious from your question), why don't you try and find it out yourself instead of disguising test questions as challenges?

Bye,

certification questions are forbidden in this forum you should repect THAT.

besides: having problems with such an easy task may give you a hint that you maybe better off in something not too complex.

Hi

ANS: D---> 12.

reward if useful.

As others have said, the answer is 12, assuming there is no other code between the data declaration and the code, ie assuming number = 0 when the code is executed.
