Given the following code and considering things like ASCII values and pointer addresses: int num1 = 5; //addressed at 1767612 int num2 = 10; //addressed at 1767600 int num3 = 15; //addressed at 1767588 char ch1 = 'a'; //addressed at 3734375 char ch2 = 'b'; //addressed at 3734363 char ch3 = 'c'; //addressed at 3734351 char* chPtr = &ch3; int* iPtr = &num3; *iPtr = num3 * 8; *chPtr = *iPtr; What will the following statement output? cout << ch3;

'x'

C/C++ has 2 pointer operators, which operator represents the name of the address? , *, &, :

Given the following snippet of code, answer the following two questions based on the code: typedef enum {red, amber, green} traffic_light; traffic_light x = red, y = green; while (x != y) { x++; } y++; printf("x = %d, y = %d", x, y); 1. What value will be printed for variable x? Please choose: 2 . 2. What value will be printed for variable y? Please

1. 2 2. 3

Given this snippet of code, what is the value of x after executing the last statement? int x = 10, *y; y = &x; *y = 100;

100

Given this snippet of code, what is the value of x after executing the last statement? int x = 10, *y, **z; y = &x; z = &y; **z = 1000;

1000

Given the following: int num1 = 5; //addressed at 1877112 int num2 = 15; //addressed at 1877300 int num3 = 20; //addressed at 1877192 double d1 = 1.05; //addressed at 1374376 double d2 = 2.25; //addressed at 1374360 double d3 = 3.14; //addressed at 1374344 After these statements: double* ptr1 = &d2; ptr1 = ptr1 - 2; What will be the address contained in ptr1?

1374344 ... to get this, 1374360 -2 *16. We get the value 16 because the bytes for a double is 8 and we're subtracting two double so it would be 16

What's the size of this struct? struct record4 { int a; int c; float e; char b; char d; };

What's the size of this struct? struct record3 { int a; char b; int c ; char d; float e; };

Given: char: 1 short: 2 int: 4 long: 4 float: 4 double: 8 How many bytes is this array: char* myStrings[10]

Assume this is a 32-bit environment, given a declaration: int a[10]; What is the size (in bytes) of the entire array?

40 since int is 4 bytes and we have 10 so 4*10 = 40

Given this macro and this code snippet: #define SLOPE(xa, ya, xb, yb) yb-ya / xb - xa int x1 = 1; int y1 = 1; int x2 = 5; int y2 = 7; float slope = SLOPE(x1,y1,x2,y2); cout << slope << endl; What value will slope have? Do yourself a favor and calculate it by hand. Remember order of operations and the nature of division on C/C++/Java. If you do just dump it in a compiler - make sure you understand why the result is the way it is. Also realize different compilers MAY give you different results.
