can somoene correct this for me?

[markraz]

this is NOT homework.. can some atleast tell me how many I got wrong? appreciate it.

I'm also curious on problem #2 shouldn't it read: Overloading "Having multiple functions with identical names but different parameter lists" ??


thanks


1.

var i = 7;
                while(i % 3 != 0){
                                i += 7;
}
                print(i);

What value will be printed?
21

2. Overloading is
a) Running the computer out of memory
b) Having multiple functions with identical names but different arguments
c) Having multiple threads access one memory address at the same time
d) Assigning a new data type to a variable
e) Redefining a function of a parent class in a child class

B

3. int integer = 5;
print(++integer * integer--);
What value will be printed?

36


4. A recursive function MUST have....
a) A call to itself e) Polymorphism
b) A return value f) All of the above
c) An exit condition g) A and C
d) Inheritance

G


5. Normally, which corner of a frame (window) is considered (0,0)?
a) Top Left c) Bottom Left
b) Top Right d) Bottom Right

A

6. The result of

 i = ((int)((string)((int)"7")+"5"))

a) An integer i, where i = 12 c) A String, i where i = 75
b) A String, i where i = 12 d) An integer i, where i = 75

D


7. Which of these is not a real differentiator for programming languages?
a) Object-oriented / Process-Oriented e) All of the above
b) Interactive / Automated f) B and C
c) Interpreted / Compiled g) B and D
d) Strongly-Typed / Weakly-Typed

B


8.

int i;
                int j = 0;
                for (i=100; j<5; i=i)j = 100-(i-=1);
                Print i;

What is the final value of i = 95

and how many times is i printed? one time

9. What is the logical operation X if it behaves as follows:
True X True = False
True X False = True
False X True = True
False X False = False

a)AND c)OR
b)NOT d)XOR

D

10. What data structure has a single pointer to node and in terns, that node has a single pointer to an inner node?

a) (Singly) Linked List
b) Doubly Linked List
c) Tree
d) Dictionary
e) Two-Dimensional Array

D

1. Write a program and run it to check.

2.

I'm also curious on problem #2 shouldn't it read: Overloading "Having multiple functions with identical names but different parameter lists" ??

Yes, that sounds like it caters for the fact that arguments can differ in number and type.

3. This is a trick question. The behaviour is undefined. However, it looks like despite you asking this question in the C++ programming forum, you might not be dealing with C++, so perhaps the real answer is: it depends.

4. I might quibble over the details, but I think your answer is what was expected.

5. I would read the relevant documentation rather than assume "normally".

6. Is this even supposed to be C++?

7. Is this even a real question?

8. Write a program and run it to check.

9. Yes.

10. I think the question is badly phrased.

6. The result of

 i = ((int)((string)((int)"7")+"5"))

a) An integer i, where i = 12 c) A String, i where i = 75
b) A String, i where i = 12 d) An integer i, where i = 75

The correct answer is "E) This code is wrong and makes no sense". What is "string"? Is it "std::string"? Is it pseudocode for "char*" or "const char*". These exercises are all over the place!...

It's even weirder when you consider that the type of a variable is decided at the declaration. It would make more sense as just an expression and not an assignment, something like:

std::cout << (std::stoi(std::to_string(7) + "5")) << "\n";

Something like that, maybe those function names make it too apparent what's going on though.

thanks guys.. I thought the same as you.. these are actually Job interview questions... do you believe it? I was dumbfounded

[Elysia]

So you actually have transcend the C++ language and code in (C++)+ to actually get job? 'kay.

I can believe it, it sounds exactly like a teacher I had in school. He (the teacher) would make tests with the most weirdly worded questions I've ever seen. I wish I had kept some, so that I would have an example, but our entire class was doing so badly that eventually another teacher had to order (or maybe make) some more standard tests.

The worst part wasn't bad grades (I don't care that much about them), it was the loss in knowledge from all the time spent concentrating on how the tests might be worded instead of really learning the subject. Even years later the bad impression left is tangible. I'm just saying you may want to consider passing this job by, if at all possible. Working for someone who is vague in what they want from you will be like walking on eggshells everyday.
