2. Which directory the compiler first looks for the file when using #include?
a) Current directory where program is saved
b) C:COMPILERINCLUDE
c) S:SOURCEHEADERS
d) Both C:COMPILERINCLUDE and S:SOURCEHEADERS simultaneously
Answer: b
Clarification: None.

c) When former is used, search is done in implementation defined manner and when latter is used, current directory is searched
d) For both, search for ‘somelibrary’ is done in implementation-defined places
Answer: d
Clarification: None.
5. How is search done in #include and #include”somelibrary.h” normally or conventionally?
a) When former is used, current directory is searched and when latter is used, standard directory is searched
b) When former is used, predefined directory is searched and when latter is used, current directory is searched and then predefined directories are searched
c) When former is used, search is done in implementation defined manner and latter is used to search current directory
d) For both, search for somelibrary is done in implementation-defined manner
Answer: b
Clarification: None.
