What is the first line of a bash script in Linux?
#!/bin/bash #! /bin/bash #!/usr/bin/bash #! /usr/bin/bash
What type are these literals? (a) "alpha" (b) "beta"s (c) 'x' (d) "y"
(a) array of const char (b)C++ string object (c)char (d)array of const char
Match the C++ I/O stream object to its description. (a)-cout (b)-cerr (c)-clog (d)-cin (e)-coff
(a)- standard output, for normal output (b)- standard error, for error messages, unbuffered (c)- like cerr, but fully buffered (d)- standard input (e)- not a C++ I/O stream object
1. The header file <cstring> defines the symbol [ (a) ] ["c_str", "string", "strlen"] in the [ (b) ] ["std", "global"] namespace. 2. The header file <string.h> defines the symbol [ (c) ] ["string", "c_str", "strlen"] in the [ (d) ] ["std", "global"] namespace. 3. The header file <string> defines the symbol string in the [ (e) ] ["global", "std"] namespace.
(a)- strlen (b)- std (c)- strlen (d)- global (e)- std
Consider this code: #include <string>using namespace std; double d; int foo() { string z = "Slartibartfast"; return z.length(); } (a)- d is in (b)- foo is in (c)- string is in (d)- z is in (e)- int is in
(a)- the global namespace (b)- the global namespace (c)- the std namespace (d)- no namespace at all (e)- no namespace at all
Consider this function declaration: void foo(int i, double d, int a[9], string s, vector<int> v); How is each parameter passed to the function? (a)- i (b)- d (c)- a (d)- s (e)- v
(a)- value (b)- value (c)- reference (d)- value (e)- value
Match the code with its description. (a)-cout << 1/0; (b)-cout << sizeof(int); (c)-int a, b; if (&a<&b) cout << 42; (d)-int i=42; i >>= 3; cout << i;
(a)-undefined behavior (b)-implementation defined behavior (c)-unspecified behavior (d)-great code
Consider: vector<double> v = {1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4}; I want to access the third element of v that contains 3.3. How should I do that? -v[2] -v.at(2) -v[3.3] -v.2
- that will work - that will work -that won't work -that won't work

2, 3 or 4
What will this code produce? string s = "abc"; s += 'd'; s.push_back('e'); cοut << s.length(); 8 It cannot be determined. 5 It won't compile; string has no .length() method
5
What is possible output from this code? vector < int > v; //put some data into v cout << v.size() << ' ' << v.max_size() << ' ' << v.capacity();
5 4611686018427387903 8

Which is the best declaration for a copy constructor for class German? German(German &other) { *this = other; } German(German) German(const German *) German *new(German &) German(const German &)
German(const German &)
Consider a small Makefile, where foo.cc & foo.h define a class, and main.cc uses that class. prog: main.o foo.o $(CXX) main.o foo.o -o prog main.o: main.cc foo.h $(CXX) -c main.cc foo.o: foo.cc foo.h $(CXX) -c foo.cc Why does the Makefile say that main.o depends on foo.h? Every object file must depend on one .cc file and one .h file. That is an error—there is no reason for that dependency. All object files must depend on all header files. If main() instantiates a Foo object, then it needs to at least know the size of a Foo object.
If main() instantiates a Foo object, then it needs to at least know the size of a Foo object.
Consider this code: int a[10]; cout << a[20]; What will it do? -segmentation violation -It will display an unpredictable value. -It will display zero. -It cannot be determined. -It will throw an error.
It cannot be determined.
What will this code produce, when executed? class Fοo { public: Foo(int n) : value(n*n) { } Foo() { Fοo(10); } int value; }; int main() { Fοo f; cοut << f.value << '\n'; return 0; } 0 It cannot be determined. 100 10*10 10
It cannot be determined.
In a Makefile, when file Bill depends on file Ted, how does make determine when it's time to recreate Bill from Ted? -It keeps track of when you edit or remove the file Ted. -It always recreates Bill from Ted, whether it's strictly necessary or not. -make spawns a modified sub-shell, which reports file-modifying commands back to make. -It checks the modification times of the files.
It checks the modification times of the files.
public: Bob (int n) : hammer(n) {} int hammer = 52; }; int main() { Bob b; cout << b.hammer << '\n'; }
It will not compile - Bob has no default constructor
Any problems with this code? string s = "chimp"; s[2] = 'u'; -'u' should be "u" -String objects must be allocated with new. -It's fine. -You need to use s.at[2] -You can't modify a C++ string
It's fine
Is this code ok? string s = "Hockle & Jeckle"; s[1] = 'e'; cout << s << "\n"; -You can't modify a string. -"\n" must be '\n', since it's a single character. -You can't use [1] to modify a string; must use .at[1] instead. -endl must be used, not '\n' -It's fine.
It's fine
Consider this code: cout << numeric_limits < short > :: max() << '\n'; select the true statement.
Its value cannot be portably determined
What is Heckendorn's rule? -Never emit a constant error message. -Don't read a pointer after using delete on it. -Check values for zero before dividing. -Save errno before using it. -Every error message must contain a file name. -Initialize all variables.
Never emit a constant error message.
Is this code valid? void foo(int n){ constexpr auto c=n; cout << c; }
No; n is not a compile-time constant
Consider the class Polar, which has two double member variables r and theta. Which of these is a correct copy constructor for Polar? Polar(const Polar rhs) : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { } Polar(Polar rhs) : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { } Polar(Polar &rhs) : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { } Polar(const Polar &rhs) : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { } Polar(Polar rhs) const : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { }
Polar(const Polar &rhs) : r(rhs.r), theta(rhs.theta) { }
What is the text segment? Strings go there. It contains dynamic memory. Read/write variables go there. Program instructions go there.
Program instructions go there.
What will this code do? Assume that an int is 32 bits. int n; // assume that n gets a value. n <<= 40; -Shifts are implemented as rotates, so it's the same as shifting left by 8 (40-32) bits. -This will not compile, because there is no <<= operator. -Since 40≥32, the result is not determined. -This will shift all the bits off the left end, resulting in zero.
Since 40≥32, the result is not determined.
Consider this code: for (int i=1; i<1'000'000'000; i++) { flοat *f = new float[100'000'000]; } What will be the result? Since the variable f is declared inside the loop, its destructor will free the memory. The system will run out of memory. No problem. The allocated memory will be freed by the garbage collector.
The system will run out of memory.
The word "deprecated", in the context of C++ programming means:
This feature is supported today, but that is expected to change.
Consider this code: double *dp = new double[45]; //use the dynamically-allocated storage here delete dp; Note that delete, not delete[], was used. How will the system react?
This is undefined behavior, so no particular result is guaranteed.
Consider this code: int a; cout << a;
This will invoke undefined behavior
A good compiler might complain that zorkmid never gets used in the following code. How would I convince the compiler to stop complaining about that? void dungeon() { int zorkmid = 42; } [not_used]] [[not_unused]] [[maybe_used]] [[used]] [[unused]] [[maybe_unused]]
[[maybe_unused]]
Consider this code: int a=1; int main() { int b=2; int *c = new int; }
a is in data, b is on the stack, c points to the heap
What will this code display? cout << "alphabet" + 5 << '\n'; -bet -alphabey -alphabet5 -flphabet
bet
I have a source file hw1.cc. I wish to make a backup copy in the file hw1.save. Which command will accomplish this? -copy hw1.cc hw1.save -save hw1 -cp hw1.cc hw1.save -cp hw1.cc >hw1.save -save hw1.cc
cp hw1.cc hw1.save
When make is executed in a directory containing only the following Makefile, which commands are executed? alpha: delta echo gamma beta: delta echo epsilon delta: echo pi lambda: echo tau
echo pi; echo gamma
What is the difference between '\n' and endl
endl flushes the output, '\n' does not

I want to find out how many bits are in a int, not counting the sign. For most modern computers, I expect the value 31. Which of these will produce that value? numeric_limits<int>::digits numeric_limits<int>::digits10() It's not needed—the number of bits in an int is guaranteed by the standard to be 31. numeric_limits<int>::max()
numeric_limits<int>::digits

ostream &operator << (ostream &, const Foo &);
Consider this class: class Foo { public: int id; int ego; private; int superego; }; what access does ego have?
public
What's the difference between struct and class? struct is only for C programs, class is only for C++ programs struct can't have methods, class can have methods Only struct can have public data members; in a class data must be private struct defaults to public, class defaults to private
struct defaults to public, class defaults to private
