Question No: 27      ( Marks: 2 )

 How many arguments a Unary Operator take? Can we make a binary operator as unary operator?

Ans: Unary operator takes only one aurgument like i++ or i— (Post increment or post decrement operators for intergers) or ++i,--i  (Pre increment or pre decrement operators for intergers) ,we can not make Unary operator as binary or binary as Unary operator.

Question No: 28      ( Marks: 2 )

 Which arithmetic operators cannot have a floating point operand?

Ans:

Modulus operator

This operator can only be used with integer operands ONLY

http://www.allvupastpapers.blogspot.com/  

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.

Question No: 30      ( Marks: 2 )

 Write down piece of code that will declare a matrix of 3x3. And initialize all its locations with 0;

Ans:

int matrix [3] [3] ;

matrix [0] [0] = 0;

matrix [0] [1] = 0;

matrix [0] [2] = 0;

matrix [1] [0] = 0;

matrix [1] [2] = 0;

matrix [1] [2] = 0;

matrix [2] [0] = 0;

matrix [2] [1] = 0;

matrix [2] [2] = 0;

http://www.allvupastpapers.blogspot.com/  

we can also do it as given below

int matrix [3][3] = { 0 }; //all elements 0 

Question No: 31      ( Marks: 3 )

 Which one (copy constructor or assignment operator) will be called in each of the following code segment?

1)         Matrix m1 (m2);

2)         Matrix m1, m2;

m1 = m2;

3)         Matrix m1 = m2;

Ans:

1)         Matrix m1 (m2);   copy constructor

2)         Matrix m1, m2;   

m1 = m2;              assignment operator

3)         Matrix m1 = m2;  assignment operator

Question No: 32      ( Marks: 3 )

 What will be the output of following function if we call this function by passing int 5?

template <class T>
T reciprocal(T x)
{
return (1/x);
}

Ans:

1/5

Question No: 33      ( Marks: 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;

   

}

ANS:

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 *operator (math *m)

{

     math temp;

     temp = m;

     temp.number= number * number;

     return temp.number;

Question No: 34      ( Marks: 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.

Ans:

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

int main ()

{

  double x1 = 12345624.72345

double x2 =  987654.12345

http://www.allvupastpapers.blogspot.com/  

double x3 =  1985.23456

  cout << setprecision (3) << x1<< endl;

  cout << setprecision (4) << x2 << endl;

cout << setprecision (5) << x3<< endl;

By : Adeel Abbas

  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 statements of main function.

         math obj1, obj2;

         obj2= 10 + obj1  ;  

Ans: http://www.allvupastpapers.blogspot.com/  

#include <iostream.h>

math

{

mth operator + (obj1,obj2)

mth operator + (obj1,obj2)

{

 mth operator + (obj1,obj2)

mth operator + (obj1,obj2)

}

}
