delete operator is used to return memory to free store which is allocated by
the new operator
► True
►False
The objects are created with the new operator on free store, they will not be

necessary to provide a destructor.

Question No: 9( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one

What is the sequence of event(s) when allocating memory using new operator?
.v
► Only block of memory is allocated for objects
► Only constructor is called for objects
► Memory is allocated first before calling constructor
► Constructor is called first before allocating memory
w

·
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
w

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
w

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.

What will be the correct syntax of the following statement?

ptr is a constant pointer to integer.
► const int *ptr ;
► const *int ptr ;
w

► int const *ptr ;

► int *const ptr ;
The keyword const for pointers can appear before the type, after the type, or in
both places. The following are legal declarations:
w

const int * ptr1; /* A pointer to a constant integer:

the value pointed to cannot be changed */
int * const ptr2; /* A constant pointer to integer:
the integer can be changed, but ptr2
cannot point to anything else */
const int * const ptr3; /* A constant pointer to a constant integer:
neither the value pointed to
nor the pointer itself can be changed */
Declaring an object to be const means that the this pointer is a pointer to
a const object. A const this pointer can by used only with const member
functions vuzs.net

Overloaded member operator function is always called by _______
► Class
► Object
► Compiler
► Primitive data type

n
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

s.
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
uz
function has been called. According to this, it will get the template and write a
function for that data type. P# 498

Loader loads the executable code from hard disk to main memory.
► True
.v
►False
Loader fter a executable program is linked and saved on the disk and it is ready
for execution. We need another process which loads the program into memory
and then instruct the processor to start the execution of the program from the
first instruction (the starting point of every C program is from the main
w

function). This processor is known as loader. P# 13

for an array of 10 int?
w

► new int(10) ;
► new int[10] ;
w

► int new(10) ;

For example, we want to allocate an array of 10 ints dynamically. Then the

The prototype of friend functions must be written ____ the class and its
definition must be written ____

► inside, inside the class

► inside, outside the class
 ► outside, inside the class
► outside, outside the class
So their definition will be always outside the class. However, the prototype of the
function will be written in the class. P#346

Similarly flush was a manipulator for which we could write cout << flush that
means flushing the output buffer. So it manipulates the output.

If we want to use stream insertion and extraction operators with _______ then
we have to overload these operators.
► int, float, double
► objects of class
► int, float, object
► int, char, float

stream extraction operator is used with different data types of int, double and float. The three
lines given above can be written in one cascading line: cin >> i >> d >> f;
In order to use these insertion ( << ) and extraction ( >> ) operators with
classes, we have to overload these operators. www.vuzs.net

Which value is returned by the destructor of a class?

► A pointer to the class.
► An object of the class.
► A status code determining whether the class was destructed correctly
► Destructors do not return a value.

Destructors obey the following syntactical requirements:

• a destructor's name is equal to its class name prefixed by a tilde;
• a destructor has no arguments;
• a destructor has no return value.

When the compiler overloads the assignment (=) operator by default then
__________
w

► compiler does member wise assignment.

w

► compiler does not allow default overload of assignment (=) operator

► member of the class are not assigned properly
► None of the given options

Assignment Operator
At first, we ascertain whether there is need of an assignment operator or not? It
is
needed when we are going to assign one object to the other, that means when
we want
to have expression like a = b. C++ provides a default assignment operator. This
operator does a member-wise assignment.
