What will happen if in a C program you assign a value to an array element
whose subscript exceeds the size of array?
1. The element will be set to 0.
2. The compiler would report an error.
3. The program may crash if some important data gets overwritten.
4. The array size would appropriately grow.

• option 3 is correct.

  but,it's depends on the compiler .
  int arr[2];
  arr[3]=10;
  printf("%d",arr[3]);
  return 0;

• the element would be set to zero option 1
  
  #include
  
  int main()
  {
  int a[5]={1,2,3,4};int i;
