Q1. What is the output of this code?

vector<int> v(22);
bool b = (v[6]);
printf("%d", !b);
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

False
0
1✔
This code has an error.

Q2. Which of the following is a reason why using this line is considered a bad practice? (Alternative: Why is using this line considered a bad practice?)

usingnamespace std;

The compiled code is always bigger because of all of the imported symbols.
If the code uses a function defined in two different libraries with the same prototype but possibly with different implementations, there will be a compilation error due to ambiguity.✔
It automatically includes all header files in the standard library (cstdint, cstdlib, cstdio, iostream, etc).
It causes the compiler to enforce the exclusive inclusion of header files belonging to the standard library, generating a compilation error when a different header file is included.

Q3. What is the smallest size a variable of the type child_t may occupy in memory?

typedefstruct{
    unsignedint  age    : 4;
    unsignedchar gender : 1;
    unsignedint  size   : 2;
}child_t;

Q5. Which of the following is a true statement about the difference between pointers and iterators?

While pointers are variables that hold memory addresses, iterators are generic functions used to traverse containers. This function allows the programmer to implement read and write code as the container is traversed.
Incrementing an iterator always means accessing the next element in the container(if any), no matter the container. Incrementing the pointer means pointing to the next element in memory, not always the next element.✔
Pointers are variables that hold memory address whereas iterator is unsigned integers that refer to offsets in arrays.
All iterators are implemented with pointers so all iterators are pointers but not all pointers are iterators.

Q6. What’s the storage occupied by u1?

union {
    uint16_t a;
    uint32_t b;
    int8_t c;

Error
*v1:{1,2,3,4}; *v2:{1,2,3,5};

Q9. Which of the following is not a difference between a class and a struct?

Because structs are part of the C programming language, there is some complexity between C and C++ structs. This is not the case with classes.
Classes may have member functions; structs are private.
The default access specifier for members of a struct is public, whereas, for members of the class, it is private.
Template type parameters can be declared with classes, but not with the struct keyword.✔

float f=(float)*ptr;
float f=*(float *)ptr;✔

Q31. What is the .* operator and what does it do?

It is the same as the class member access operator, or arrow operator (->), which allows you to access a member of an object through a pointer to the object.
It is the pointer to the member operator, and it allows you to access a member of an object through a pointer to that specific class member.✔
It is the member access with an address of the operator, which returns the address of a class or struct member.
It is a combination of the member access operator (.) and the dereference operator (*), so it allows you to access the object that a member pointer points to.

Q38. What does this part of a main.cpp file do?

#include "library.h"Code language: CSS (css)

It causes the toolchain to compile all the contents of library.h so that its executable code is available when needed by the final application.
It cherry-picks library.h for the declarations and definitions of all data and functions used in the remainder of the source file main.cpp, finally replacing the #include directive with those declarations and definitions.
It informs the linker that some functions or data used in the source file main.cpp are contained in library.h, so that they can be called in run time. This is also known as dynamic linking.
It causes the replacement of the #include directive by the entire contents of the source file library.h. This is similar to the Copy-Paste operation of library.h into main.cpp.✔

Q39. Consider this function declaration of is_even, which takes in an integer and returns true if the argument is an even number and false otherwise. Which declarations are correct for overloaded versions of that function to support floating point numbers and string representations of numbers?

Q41. What’s wrong with this definition when using a pre-C++11 compiler?

std::vector<std::vector<int>> thematrix;
Code language: CSS (css)

There’s nothing wrong with it.✔
An std::vector cannot contain more std::vector containers as its elements.

Q60. Which choice is the most reasonable implementation of the function std::mutex::lock() by using std::mutex::try_lock()?

A✔

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(!this->try_lock());
}Code language: PHP (php)

void std::mutex::lock(){
    return (this->try_lock());
}
Code language: PHP (php)

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(1)
        this->try_lock();
}
Code language: PHP (php)

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(this->try_lock());
}
Code language: PHP (php)

Q61. What is the main difference between these two Functions?

std::mutex::lock()
std::mutex::try_lock()
Code language: CSS (css)

lock() has a higher privilege over try_lock(). This means that you have a better chance of acquiring a mutex with lock().
Both attempt to acquire a lock, but lock() blocks if the mutex is not available, whereas try_lock() returns whether the mutex is available or not.✔
lock() enforces preemption, whereas try_lock() suggests preemption.
If the mutex is not available, try_lock() returns with a corresponding code, whereas lock() snatches the mutex from the thread that currently has it.

Q62. What is the purpose of a destructor?

It allows the programmer to write the necessary code to free the resources acquired by the object prior to deleting the object itself.✔
It deletes an object. One example of a destructor is the delete() function.
It terminates a program. This may be achieved as a regular function call or as an exception.
There are no destructors in C++.

Q63. What is one benefit of declaring the parameter as a const reference instead of declaring it as a regular object?

int calculateMedian(const my_array& a)
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Actually, objects cannot be passed as regular variables, because they require a constructor call. Therefore, a const reference is the only way to pass class instances to functions.
There are no benefits because a reference and an object are treated as the same thing.
The const qualifier forbids the code to modify the argument, so the programmer can rest assured that the source object will remain unchanged. / Alt.: The argument is passed as a reference, so if the passed my_array object is large, the program will require less time and memory.✔
The argument is passed as a reference, so the function receives a copy that can be modified without affecting the original variable.

Q64. What is an include guard?

a preprocessor directive that prevents inconsistent behaviors in lines that contain the #ifdef, #ifndef, or #elif directives
a compiler option that prevents the user code from including additional libraries
a preprocessor statement that prevents a source file from being included more than once in a project✔
a library that adds safety features such as mutexes, watchdog timers, and assertions to the project

Q65. What would be the correct declaration of a default constructor for a class named Sprite?

A public: Sprite();✔
B private: void Sprite();
C public: void Sprite();
D private: Sprite();

Q66. What is the purpose of this line in a header file?

#pragma onceCode language: CSS (css)

to restrict the use of its contents to only one source file
to tell the compiler that only one variable can be instantiated from the classes or types contained in this header file
to help the compiler finish faster by assuring that only one compiler pass is necessary for the code included in this header file
to make the compiler parse that header file only once, even if it is included multiple times in the source✔

Q67. What is a variable of type double?

a 2-tuple
an integer number
a floating point number✔
a string with more than 255 characters

Q68. Other than shifting bits to the left, what is the << operator used for?

shifting characters to the left in a string.
inserting characters into an output stream like std::cout.✔
comparing floating point numbers as less-than.
assigning a variable to a reference.

Q69. Which choice is a reason to specify the type of a pointer instead of using void *, which works as a pointer to any type?

The compiler needs the data type to make sure that the pointer is not going to be used on illegal non-pointable types such as functions, labels, pointers, and references.
void * does not work for any type. The language does not allow assigning anything other than void to a pointer to void *.
The compiler needs the data type to know how much memory to allocate for the pointer because different data types require different pointer lengths.✔
Yes, it causes a compiler error because one field is defined as having a size of 0.

Q70. What is wrong with this piece of code?

#include <iostream>char str[20];
int main(){
    std::cout << "What's your name? ";
    str << std::cin
    std::cout << "Hello, " << str;
    return0;
}
Code language: PHP (php)

The main function is supposed to have a void return type.
std::cin and std::cout are invalid. The correct names for the character input and output streams are cin and cout.
The address of str is supposed to be used. That is &str instead of str.
The input operator flow is inverted. it should start from std::cin and then flow (>>) into str.✔

Q71. When placed in a valid execution context, which statement will dynamically allocate memory from the heap for an integer of value 11?

Q74. Given these records in a map, how will you update the value for the key “Sinead” to 22?

marks[“Sinead”] = 22✔
marks[“Sinead”].22
marks[“Sinead”] -> 22
marks[“Sinead”].value = 22

Q75. Why can the std::sort receive a function object as one of its parameters?

The std::sort function is a template. The programmer is free to enter the sorting algorithm in a function object as an argument.✔
Actually, std::sort takes only one argument, which is the container to be sorted.
std::sort operates on a template container. The compiler does not know how to relationally compare the values it contains, so a function must be provided to do the comparison.
std::sort will use the parameter function as an error handler. The function will be called if an error occurs.

Q76. What will happen when you execute this code snippet?

Q89. When protecting a header file, why would you use ‘#pragma once’ instead of ‘include’ guard?

There is no reason to choose because they serve different purposes
An include guard uses a macro to achieve single inclusion, but the compiler cannot prevent the programmer from defining that macro elsewhere, which would result in no inclusion at all defining that macro elsewhere, which would result in no inclusion at all✔
‘#pragma once’ guarantees that the header code will never be changed because it is enforced by the compiler
Include guards refer to the header file in the file system, not to the code, so they are not helpful if the header file exists more than once in a project. This is not a problem with ‘#pragma once’

classmy_class{
    public: staticint count;
}
Code language: CSS (css)

All objects that try to access their count member variable actually refer to the only class-bound static count variable.
The variable exists even when no objects of the class have been defined, so it can be modified at any point in the source code.
The variable cannot be modified by any part of the code in the same application or thread. However, other threads may modify it.✔
The variable is allocated only once, regardless of how many objects are instantiated, because it is bound to the class itself, not its instances.

Q155. What is the purpose of the constexpr keyword in C++?
