Programming 1: Chapter 5

The while loop has two important parts: an expression that is tested for a true or false value, and: A) a statement or block that is repeated as long as the expression is true B) a statement or block that is repeated only if the expression is false C) one line of code that is repeated once, if the expression is true D) a statement or block that is repeated once, if the expression is true

A

True/False: You may nest while and do-while loops, but you may not nest for loops.

FALSE

In a for statement, this expression is executed only once.

initialization

This is a control structure that causes a statement or group of statements to repeat. A) decision statement B) constant C) loop D) cout object E) None of these

C

This loop is a good choice when you know how many times you want the loop to iterate in advance of entering the loop. A) do-while B) while C) for D) infinite E) None of these

C

To allow file access in a program, you must #include this header file. A) file B) fileaccess C) fstream D) cfile

C

What will the following loop display? int x = 0; while (x < 5) { cout << x << endl; x++; }

0

How many lines will the following while loop display? int count = 1; while (count < 5) count << " My favorite day is Sunday \n"; count = count + 1;

0 lines - more than one statement, no curly braces. This means the line that increments count is not in the loop, so count always remains less than 5, causing an infinite loop. The cout statement executes over and over again until the user stops the program.

A for statement contains three expressions: initialization, test, and A) update B) reversal C) null D) validation E) None of these

A

True/False: A while loop's body can contain multiple statements, as long as they are enclosed in braces.

TRUE

True/False: An initialization expression may be omitted from the for loop if no initialization is required.

TRUE

How many lines will the following while loop display? int count = 10 while (count < 5) { cout << "My favorite day is Sunday \n"; count = count + 1 }

0 lines - the test condition of the line is initially false, so the body of the loop is never executed.

2

What will the following program segments display? x = 2; y = 4; cout << x++ << --y;

2 3

What will the following code display? int x = 0; for (int count = 0; count < 3; count++) x += count; cout << x << endl;

3

What will the following program segments display? x = 2; y = x++; cout << x << y;

3 2

What will the following program segments display? x = 2; y = ++x; cout << x << y;

3 3

What will the following program segments display? x = 2; y = 2 * x++; cout << x << y;

3 4
