main string (x)int float char

Library files provide for:

more reliable code. faster compiling. easier access to commonly used code. easier modification of commonly used code. (x)All the above. All but "faster compiling".

Pointers and arrays are related because:

pointers always track sets of values of scanf and the & (x)both work with addresses they aren't, * and [ ] are unrelated they can both hold int & float

Which of the following is the default input source in a C program?

printf scanf %d (x)standard input getchar

Which of the following produces input?

programming C++ editing (x)compiling saving

What does "conditional execution" provide to a programmer?

random numbers access to boolean data (x)more flexible/robust programs math libraries access to I/O

A for loop:

repeats like an if (x)is basically a while loop repeats until a test is true always runs 5 times can't produce repetition

return value prototype (x)parameter .h file function body

Which of the following is the destination for printf( )

screen keyboard (x)standard output computer memory

Tradeoffs between text and binary I/O include:

speed vs. size. (x)human readable vs. machine readable. reading and writing. all I/O is basically text.

C is able to handle strings well because:

strings are always a fixed length the computer always knows a string's length (x)there is always a null character ending a string strings are like arrays, they are a fixed length

The = operator in C means:

test two values for equality do arithmetic with two values (x)assign a value to a variable print a value create a variable

C bit operators give us:

the ability to impact individual bits on a computer. operators like logical AND, OR and NOT, but at the bit level. shift operators to shift bit patterns to the left or the right. the ability to combine bit patterns using AND, OR, and XOR all but the previous answer (x)all of the four answers

An array is:

the same as a variable the same as a function (x)a named set of storage locations only able to store integers

An advantage to using an array is:

there is no advantage, usevariables functions only use arrays arrays are always strings you can use better names (x)it can closely match yourproblem

Strings and arrays are related because:

they aren't, arrays are for numeric data only all characters are stored in arrays (x)both deal with sets of values arrays only hold int & float data all arrays store characters

Structures have the advantage of:

treating several pieces of data as one. allowing several types to be combined into one. creating a new type that the compiler will recognize. making the code more closely match the problem. (x)all of these.
