Thread: C++

This sounds a lot like homework.

Oh, and nice title. Without it, I would have never guessed this topic was on C++.

Q.1
Given the following definiton:
char s[10], *p = s;

Which of the following statement is valid and legal:

(a) p = s + 5 ;
(b) s = [ p + s ];
(c) s[2] = p[12];
(d) *p = s

MY ANSWER IS : D

I disagree. p is a char* and s is a char[] (basically a char*). By dereferencing p, you're doing the assignment char = char*, which is illegal (might work if you have a bad compiler).
b) is obviously wrong since there is no such syntax in C.
a) is correct, since both sides of the assignment have the same type.
c) is also correct, though it is trying to access an element which is out of bounds which may cause a crash.

Q2.

Given the following code segment:

char str[] = "Hello";
char *ptr;
ptr = &str[1];

After executed the above codes, what is the value of
*( ptr + 3 )?

(a) 'o'
(b) '\0'
(c) indeterminate
(d) address of 'o'
MY ANSWER IS : D

str holds the adress to the 'H', meaning str[1] holds the adress to the 'e'. 3 letters ahead lies the 'o'.
The answer is a).

Q3.
Given the prototype for the constructor for a student class is

Student ( const int idNum = 0,
const double height = 1.7 );

The definition
Student Joshua(3); is to...

(a) define a student with idNum 0 and height 1.7
(b) define a student with idNum 3 and height 1.7
(c) define a student with idNum 0 and height 3
(d) is illegal
MY ANSWER IS : B

b) is correct. The first parameter gets the passed value and the second uses the default value.

(Can't believe I'm doing someone's homework... Must be really bored...)

My answers are:
Q1) a
Q2) a
Q3) b
