Which arithmetic operators cannot have a floating point operand?
Ans:

This operator can only be used with integer operands ONLY

Question No: 29 ( Marks: 2 )

What are manipulators? Give one example.

Ans:
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 (л), 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.
Some manipulators are parameter less. We simply use the name of the manipulator that
works. For example, we have been using endl, which is actually a manipulator, not data.
When we write cout << endl ; a new line is output besides flushing the buffer. Actually,
it manipulates the output stream.

cout << setprecision (3) << x1<< endl;
cout << setprecision (4) << x2 << endl;
cout << setprecision (5) << x3<< endl;
return 0;
}

Question No: 35 ( Marks: 5 )

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using templates?

Ans:
Many thing can be possible without using templates but it do offer several clear
advantages not offered by any other techniques:
Advanatages:
• 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 help 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: 36 ( Marks: 5 )
Suppose a program has a math class having only one data member number.
Write the declaration and definition of operator function to overload + operator for the

mth operator + (obj1,obj2)
mth operator + (obj1,obj2)
{
mth operator + (obj1,obj2)
mth operator + (obj1,obj2)

What does (*this) represents?
► The current function of the class
► The current pointer of the class
► The current object of the class
► A value of the data member
Whenever an object calls a member function, the function implicitly gets a pointer from the
calling object. That pointer is known as this pointer. ‘this’ is a key word. We cannot use it as
a variable name. ‘this’ pointer is present in the function, referring to the calling object. For
example, if we have to refer a member, let’s say buf, of our String class, we can write it
simply as: buf ;

A Matrix can be composed of ints, floats or doubles as their elements. Instead of
handling these data types separately, we can write Matrix class as a template
class and write code once for all native data types. While writing this template
class, the better approach to write will be, to go with a simple data type (e.g.
double) first to write a Matrix class and then extend it to a template class later.

What is a truth Table?
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.

If a single object is allocated, operator new is called to allocate memory, and then the constructor is
called to initialize the object.
· If an array of objects is allocated, operator new[] is called to allocate memory for the whole array,
and then the constructor is called for each element of the array.
· When a single object is deleted, the destructor for the object is called first, and then operator
delete is called to free the memory occupied by the object.
· When an array of objects is deleted, the destructor for each element of the array object is called first,
and then operator delete[] is called to free the memory occupied by the array.

When an operator function is defined as member function for a binary Plus (+)

· Zero
· One
· Two
· N arguments
Operators as member functions
Aside from the operators which must be members, operators may be overloaded as member or non-
member functions. The choice of whether or not to overload as a member is up to the programmer.
Operators are generally overloaded as members when they:
change the left-hand operand, or
1. require direct access to the non-public parts of an object.
When an operator is defined as a member, the number of explicit parameters is reduced by one, as the
calling object is implicitly supplied as an operand. Thus, binary operators take one explicit parameter
and unary operators none. In the case of binary operators, the left hand operand is the calling object,
and no type coercion will be done upon it.

What is Standard Template Library (STL) also describe its advantages?
The standard template library is the collection of functions of very common use. Their every day use
is so important that two researchers wrote a whole library of these functions. This library is a part of
the official standard of C++. It is called STL i.e. Standard Template Library. As a library, it is a tested
code base. Some one has written, tested and compiled for the ultimate use of programmers. We can
use these templates and can implement different concepts for our own data types. Equally is true about
the use of the array data type. Our code will become very small with the use of this tested facility.
Similarly, there is no bug or error in it. Thus, if we have a tested and tried code base, we should try
our best to write programs by using it. STL is a lot of important code, pre-developed for us. It is
available as a library. We can write programs by using it. Thus our programs will be small and error

Overloaded member operator function is always called by _______

► Class
► Object
► Compiler
► Primitive data type
As discussed in the example of overloaded functions, the automatic part is also
there. But we wrote all those functions separately. Here the automatic part is
even deeper. In other words, we write one template function without specifying
a data type. If it is to be called for int data type, the compiler will itself write
an int version of that function. If it is to be called for double, the compiler will
itself write it. This does not happen at run time, but at compile time. The
compiler will analyze the program and see for which data type, the template
function has been called. According to this, it will get the template and write a
function for that data type. P# 498

What does getline() member function of cin stream do?

Another member function of cin is getline(). It reads a complete buffer i.e. the number of
character specified up to a delimiter we specify. We can write something like:
cin.getline(char *buffer, int buff_size, char delimiter = ‘\n’)
 ( Marks: 1 )
When memory is allocated dynamically using new operator within the constructor
of class then what is an appropriate place to de-allocate the memory?

Whenever we allocate memory with the new operator, it is our responsibility to de-allocate
this memory after the termination of the program. To do this de-allocation, we have an
operator delete. To de-allocate the memory, allocated with p = new int ; we will write delete

(p) ;
It will not delete the p rather, it will send the memory gotten and pointed by p back to the free
store.
( Marks: 2 )
What will be the output of following code, if user input a number 123?
int input ;
cin >> oct >> input;
cout << hex << input ;

( Marks: 2

What is memory leak?

suppose, the heap size is decreased as we had allocated memory from it despite the fact that it
was never utilized. If this step of allocating memory and then destroy the pointer to this
memory carries on then the size of the heap will going on to decrease. It may become of zero
size. When there is no memory on heap, the computer will stop running and there may be a
system crash. This situation is called a memory leak

( Marks: 3 )
When we call calloc function to allocate memory and its return a NULL pointer
what does it mean?

Calloc function takes two arguments. The first argument is the required space in terms of
numbers while the second one is the size of the space
Now we have to see what happens when either we ask for too much memory at a time of
non-availability of enough memory on the heap or we ask for memory that is available on the
heap , but not available as a single chunk?. In this case, the call to calloc will fail. When a
call to memory allocation functions fails, it returns a NULL pointer.

( Marks: 3 )
Read the given code and explain code functionality.

Matrix :: Matrix ( const Matrix & m )

{
numRows = m.numRows ;
numCols = m.numCols ;
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 ] = m.elements [ i ] [ j ] ;
}
}
( Marks: 3 )
What is the keyword ‘this’ and what are the uses of ‘this’ pointer?

Whenever an object calls a member function, the function implicitly gets a pointer from the
calling object. That pointer is known as this pointer. ‘this’ is a key word. We cannot use it as
a variable name. ‘this’ pointer is present in the function, referring to the calling object.
this pointer points to the current object.
( Marks: 5 )

What do you mean by garbage collection and how it works in JAVA and C++ ?

JAVA gives the concept of garbage collection with the use of references. Due to this garbage
collection, we are free from the headache of de- allocating the memory. We allocate and use
the memory. When it is no longer in use, JAVA automatically deletes (frees) it through
garbage collection But in C and C++ languages, we have to take care of de-allocating the
memory. In classes where we use dynamic memory, we have to provide destructors to free
this memory. The languages keep evolving, new constructs will keep evolving in existing or
new languages.
( Marks: 5 )

Explain the concept of separation of interface from the implementation in the context of
classes, using a real world example.
( Marks: 10 )

Write a simple program using the get() member function of cin object reading a text of
30 characters from the keyboard, store them in an array and then using put() member

Write a program which has a class List, This class should have Two data members, an
array of integers list[] and an integer variable length (i.e. number of elements in the
list).The class should further contain a default constructor, a Print() function which
display the list and a Function insert() which insert an element in the list and
Assignment (= ) Operator function, which contain code for the assignment of one object
to other. .
In main function define two objects list1 and list2 and use the statement list2 = list1; and
use (call ) print function with both objects

Why do java consider pointer as dangerous
JAVA, describe pointers as dangerous . if we assign a memory through a pointer where the
pointer is destroyed, the memory remains allocated and is wasted. To address these things,
there are only references in JAVA instead of pointers. JAVA gives the concept of garbage
collection with the use of references. Due to this garbage collection, we are free from the
headache of de- allocating the memory. We allocate and use the memory. When it is no
longer in use, JAVA automatically deletes (frees) it through garbage collection
Question No: 33 ( Marks: 2 )
What is memory leak?
There is a requirement that if the constructor of a class allocates the memory, it is necessary
to write a destructor of that class. We have to provide a destructor for that class, so that when
that object ceases to exist, the memory allocated by the constructor, is returned to the free
store. It is critically important. Otherwise, when the object is destroyed, there will be an
unreferenced block of memory. It cannot be used by our program or by any other program.
It’s a memory leak that should be avoided.
