Classname operator ++(int) ---- post increment
Question No: 3 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Give the general syntax of class template.
Answer:
template
class myclass { ---} ;
Question No: 4 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What is a truth Table?
Answer:
There
are some areas where the decision structures become very complicated.
Sometimes, we find it difficult to evaluate a complicated logical
expression. Sometimes the logic becomes extremely complicated so that
even writing it as a simple syntax statement in any language. It becomes
complicated to determine what will be evaluated in what way. We know
the concept of truth table. The truth tables are very important. These
are still a tool available for analyzing logical expressions. We will
read logic design in future, which is actually to do with chips and
gates. How we put these things together.
Question No: 5 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What will be the output of following code, if user input a number 123?
int input ;
cin >> oct >> input;
cout << hex << input ;
Answer:
53
Rational: it will take 123 as octal and print it in hex form which is 53.
Question No: 6 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What is principle of friendship in the context of functions and classes?
Answer:
Class can declare a friend function and someone from outside the class cannot declare itself friend of a class.
A friend function can access the private variables of class just like a member function
Question No: 7 ( M a r k s: 2 )
How many arguments a Unary Operator take? Can we make a binary operator as unary operator?
Answer:
Unary
operator takes only one argument like i++ or i— (Post increment or post
decrement operators for integers) or ++i,--i (Pre increment or pre
decrement operators for integers) ,we can not make Unary operator as
binary or binary as Unary operator.
Question No: 8 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Which arithmetic operators cannot have a floating point operand?
Answer:
Modulus operator:
This operator can only be used with integer operands ONLY
Question No: 9 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What are manipulators? Give one example.
Answer:
The
manipulators are like something that can be inserted into stream,
effecting a change in the behavior. For example, if we have a floating
point number, say pi (ะป), and have written it as float pi = 3.1415926 ;
Now there is need of printing the value of pi up to two decimal places
i.e. 3.14. This is a formatting functionality. For this, we have
a manipulator that tells about width and number of decimal points of a
number being printed.
Question No: 10 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Write down piece of code that will declare a matrix of 3x3. And initialize all its locations with 0;
Answer:
int matrix [3] [3] ;
include
main () {
int matrix [3][3];
int inivalue = 0;
for (int a=0;a<3;a++)
{ for (int b = 0;b<3;b++)
{ matrix[a][b]= inivalue;
cout<
}
Question No: 11 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What is the difference between switch statement and if statement.
Answer:
The
“If” statement is used to select among two alternatives. It uses a
Boolean expression to decide which alternative should be executed. The
switch statement is used to select among multiple alternatives. It uses
an int expression to determine which alternative should be executed.
Question No: 12 ( M a r k s: 2 )
How can we initialize data members of contained object at construction time?
Answer:
Initializer list is used to initialize the contained objects at the construction time.
Question No: 13 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Can we overload new and delete operators?
Answer:
Yes,
it is possible to overload new and delete operators to customize memory
management. These operators can be overloaded in global (non-member)
scope and in class scope as member operators.
Question No: 14 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Suppose there is a template
function ‘func’ having argument of type U and return type T. What will
be the C++ syntax to call this function, passing a variable ‘x’ of type
double and returning an int type?

template
T func (T a, U b) {
return (a
}
calling
int i;
double x;
x = func
Question No: 15 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Which variable will be used in inner code block if we have the same names of variable at outer code block and inner code block?
Answer:
Simply: variable of the inner code is use in the inner code block.
Question No: 16 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What is the benefit of reference and where can we use it?
Answer:
In
references we give the memory address of the object, due to references
we pass values without making the copy. Hence, when we have many values
& we want efficiency we use references to avoid copy.
Question No: 17 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Write the C++ code for the
declaration of overloaded stream insertion and stream extraction
operator for the object d of type Date.

Date operator >> (date & d1){
cout<<<”-”<<<”-”<
}
Question No: 18 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What is difference between endl and \n?
Answer:
Endl is manipulator and it inserts new line character and flushes the stream.
\n is control character which is used to insert line break.
Question No: 19 ( M a r k s: 2 )
What does code optimization mean?
Answer:
It
is process by which we make our code in such a way that it improves the
speed of program. By use of optimization we refine program codes in
such a way that it run faster and consume less memory. We do it in such a
way that output quality is not compromised.
Question No: 20 ( M a r k s: 3 )
How is the following cout statement interpreted by compiler?
cout << a << b << c ;
Answer:
It will give a compiler error because a,b,c are not declared.

1) Matrix m1 (m2);
2) Matrix m1, m2;
m1 = m2;
3) Matrix m1 = m2;
Answer:
1) Matrix m1 (m2); copy constructor
2) Matrix m1, m2;
m1 = m2; assignment operator
3) Matrix m1 = m2; assignment operator
Question No: 26 ( M a r k s: 3 )
What will be the output of following function if we call this function by passing int 5?
template T reciprocal(T x) {return (1/x); }
Answer:
0
The output will zero as 1/5 and its .05 but conversion to int make it zero
Above is prototype of template class so assume passing an int and returning an int
Question No: 27 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Identify the errors in the following member operator function and also correct them.
math * operator(math m);
math * operator (math m)
{
math temp;
temp.number= number * number;
return number;
}
The errors are in the arguments of the member operation function and also in the body of operator member function.
Correct function should be
math *operator (math *m)
{
math temp;
temp = m;
temp.number= number * number;
return temp.number;
}
Question No: 28 ( M a r k s: 3 )
What are the limitations of the friendship relation between classes?
Answer:
friendship
relation between classes is a one way relation that is if one class
declare friend another class then the another class is the friend of
first class but not the first class if the friend of another class.
Question No: 29 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Define static variable. Also explain life time of static variable?
Answer:
When you declare a static variable (native data type or object) inside a function, it is created and initialized only once during the lifetime of the program.
Question No: 30 ( M a r k s: 5 )
What is difference between Unary and binary operators and how they can be overloaded?
Answer:
Unary operator takes one argument.
a ++ is an example of unary operator
Binary take two operators
+,-,* are example of binary operators
Overloaded binary operator may return any type
Here is general syntax of overloading
Return-type operator symbol (parameters);
Operator is keyword
Question No: 31 ( M a r k s: 5 )
What steps we must follow to design good program?
Answer 1:
Hence to design a program properly, we must:
· Analyze a problem statement, typically expressed as a word problem.
· Express its essence, abstractly and with examples.
· Formulate statements and comments in a precise language.
· Evaluate and revise the activities in light of checks and tests and
· Pay attention to detail.
Answer 2:
Details: we must check very details of any program. It is very important aspect of any program. We must pay complete attention to calculation.
We must give attention to logic and its flow should be smooth.
Reusable:
We must write program in such a way that we can reuse them in other
program. Like we define function in such a way that in future if we need
any similar kind of function is requires in that case we can easily
modify or reuse it.
Comments:
we write the details of important steps in the form of comments. We
should use comments in such a way if any body else wanted to reuse or
debug or codes he can easily understand it.
Code readability: We should use Tab and spaces so codes are easily readable.
User interface: we make interface user friendly. Use polite prompts for user while take input.

Question No: 36 ( M a r k s: 5 )
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using templates?
Answer:
Many
things can be possible without using templates but it does offer
several clear advantages not offered by any other techniques:
Advantages:
· Templates
are easier to write than writing several versions of your similar code
for different types. You create only one generic version of your class
or function instead of manually creating specializations.
· Templates
are type-safe. This is because the types that templates act upon are
known at compile time, so the compiler can perform type checking before
errors occur.
· Templates can be easier to understand, since they can provide a straightforward way of abstracting type information.
· It
helps in utilizing compiler optimizations to the extreme. Then of
course there is room for misuse of the templates. On one hand they
provide an excellent mechanism to create specific type-safe classes from
a generic definition with little overhead.
Disadvantages:
On the other hand, if misused
· Templates can make code difficult to read and follow depending upon coding style.
· They
can present seriously confusing syntactical problems esp. when the code
is large and spread over several header and source files.
· Then,
there are times, when templates can "excellently" produce nearly
meaningless compiler errors thus requiring extra care to enforce
syntactical and other design constraints. A common mistake is the angle
bracket problem.
Question No: 37 ( M a r k s: 5 )

{
mth operator + (obj1,int x)
{
number temp;
temp=obj1.number+x;
return temp.number;
}
}
Question No: 38 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Write a program which defines
three variables of type double which store three different values
including decimal points, using setprecision manipulators to print all
these values with different number of digits after the decimal number.
Answer:
#include
#include
main () {
double a = 12.12345;
double b = 13.123456;
double c = 14.1234567;
cout << setprecision (5) << a << endl;
cout << setprecision (2) << a << endl;
cout << setprecision (3) << a << endl;
}
Question No: 39 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Let we have a class,
class String
{
private:
char buf[25];
};
Write code for assignment (=)
operator function which assign one String object to other object. Your
code should also avoid self assignment
Answer:
void String::operator = ( const String &other )
{ int length ;
length = other.length();
delete buf;
buf = new char [length + 1];
strcpy( buf, other.buf ); }
Question No: 40 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Read the given below code and explain what task is being performed by this function
Matrix :: Matrix ( int row , int col )
{
numRows = row ;
numCols = col ;
elements = new ( double * ) [ numRows ] ;
for ( int i = 0 ; i < numRows ; i ++ )
{
elements [ i ] = new double [ numCols ] ;
for ( int j = 0 ; j < numCols ; j ++ )
elements [ i ] [ j ] = 0.0 ;
}
}
Hint : This function belong to a matrix class, having
Number of Rows = numRows
Number of Columns = numCols
Answer:
In
the above mentioned code, first of all programmer call the constructor
who have two parameters for the number of rows & columns in the
matrix. Then
this constructor also dynamically allocates the memory for the elements
of the matrix & also initializes the value of the all elements of
matrix with 0.0
