True/False: It is possible to declare an entire class as a friend of another class.

True

True/False: The this pointer is a special built-in pointer that is automatically passed as a hidden argument to all non-static member functions.

True

constant, const

When objects contain pointers, it is a good idea to create an explicit ________ function.

copy constructor

A member function that is declared ________ may not access any non-static data members in the class.

static

If a member variable is declared ________, all objects of that class have access to that variable.

static

This type of member variable may be accessed before any objects of the class have been created.

static

This operator may be used to assign one object to another.

=

True/False: A public data member may be declared a friend of a private function.

False

True/False: If you overload the prefix ++ operator, the postfix ++ operator is automatically overloaded.

False

True/False: In C++, if you overload the < operator, you must also overload the > operator.

False

True/False: When a class declares an entire class as its friend, the friendship status is reciprocal. That is, each class's member functions have free access to the other's private members.

False

True/False: You can overload the conditional operator to make it function as an unconditional operator.
