Consider the following C program: #include int gate (int n) { int d, t, newnum, turn; newnum = turn = 0; t=1; while (n=t) t *= 10; t /= 10; while (t0) { d = n/t; n = n%t; t /= 10; if (turn) newnum = 10*newnum + d; turn = (turn + 1) % 2; } return newnum; } int main

Question

Consider the following C program:

#include <stdio.h>
int gate (int n) {
 int d, t, newnum, turn;
 newnum = turn = 0; t=1;
 while (n>=t) t *= 10;
 t /= 10;
 while (t>0) {
 d = n/t;
 n = n%t;
 t /= 10;
 if (turn) newnum = 10*newnum + d;
 turn = (turn + 1) % 2;
 }
 return newnum;
}
int main () {
 printf ("%d", gate(14362));
 return 0;
}

Accepted Answer

The value printed by the given C program is ________ (An answer in integer). The function 'gate' processes the digits of the input number by alternating between skipping and including digits, effectively reversing the order of every second digit starting from the least significant one. For the input 14362, it retains the digits 4, 3, and 2, resulting in the output 42.
