Unit I
Chapter -1
PROGRAMMING IN C++
Review: C++ covered in C++
Q1. What are the limitations of Procedural Programming ?
Ans. Limitation of Procedural Programming Paradigm
1. Emphasis on algorithm rather than data.
2. Change in a datatype being processed needs to be propagated to all the functions that use
the same data type. This is a time consuming process.
3. The procedural programming paradigm does not model real world very well.
Q2. Define Class.
Ans. A Class represents a group of objects that share common properties and relationships.
Exp:-

Class ab
{
statements;
}
ab obj;
Class name is ab
{ } are used to write statements with in it
; is termination symbol of the statement
obj is the object of a Class to access the data members of the class
Q3. What are the features of OOP ?

Ans. Features of OOP

1. Data Abstraction
Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the
background details or explanations (i.e. Hiding of Data)
2. Encapsulation
The wrapping up of data and functions (that operate on the data) into a single unit (called
class) in known as Encapsulation. As a base Encapsulation is a way to implement data
abstraction.
3. Modularity
The act of dividing a complete program into different individual components (functions)
is called modularity. It is a property of a system that has been decomposed into a set
of cohesive and loosely coupled modules
4. Inheritance
Inheritance is the capability of one class of things to inherit the features or data
members or properties from another class.
The Class whose properties of data members are inherited, is called Base Class or
Super Class and the class that inherits these properties, is called Derived Class or Sub
Class.
Exp:If Class A inherits the data of Class B then we can say A is Sub Class and B
is Super Class.
5. Polymorphism
Polymorphism is the ability for a message or data to be processed in more than one
form. Polymorphism (overloading) is the property by which the same message can be
7

sent to objects of several different classes. In which the same operation is performed
differently depending upon the data type it is working upon.
Q5.
Ans.

What is the difference between keyword and identifier?

Keyword is a special word that is reserved in C++ and having special meaning and purpose
goto, struct, else, break etc.
Identifier is the user defined name given to a part of a program (variable name)

Q6. Describe different types of operators in C++.

Ans. Operators ( to perform some computational operations or to perform some specific actions)
In C++ operators are divided into following categories:(Airthmatic, I/O, Increment/ Decrement, Relational & Logical Operators)
(a) I / O operators

(Input /Output Operators)

Input Operator (>>) is used to read a value from standard input.

cin object is used for taking input from the user
Example :-

int a;
cin>>a;

(we can input integer value)

Output Operator(<<) is used to direct a value to standard output.

cout object is used for taking output on the display device.
Example:-

int a;
cin>>a;
cout<<a;
The multiple use of input or output operators in one statement is called cascading of
I/O operators
like :
cin>>a>>b;
cout<<a<<b;
(b) Arithmetic Operators

+, - , * , / and %
(c) Increment/ Decrement Operators
Increment Operator (++)
Decrement Operator (- -)
We can use both the operators in postfix and prefix mode as per the requirements in
the program statement
example:- postfix
int a=10;
a++;
cout<<a;

prefix
int a=10;
++a;
cout<<a;

output is a=10

a=11

Note:- The postfix form of ++, --, operators follows the rule use-then change.
The prefix form follows the rules change then use

(d) Relational Operators

< , <= , = = , > , >= and

!=

(e) Logical Operators

logical OR (||) , logical AND (&&) , logical NOT(!)

(f) Conditional Operator
( ?, : )
C++ offers a conditional operator ( ? : ) that stores a value depending upon a
condition. This operator is ternary operator.
Syntax: -

expression1 ? expression2 : expression3

Exp:-

int result;
Result = marks>= 50 ? P : F ;
(g) Some other operators (sizeof)
sizeof num
//
(num is variable name)
sizeof (type)
//
(c++ data type)
(h) Assignment Operator
Example:

(=)

int total , item;

total = total + item;
total + =item;

Q7. What is the use of main function ?

Ans. Use of Main function in C++
Main ( ) is used to compile and execute the program code of C++ it is used with standard
library and header files of the OOPS Program
Example
int main ( ) // return values with its parameters
void main ( ) // not return any value not return keyword is used
void main (parameter) // at the end of the only return keyword is
// used except parameters

Q8. What are the different data types in C++ ?

Ans. C++ Data types
Data types are means to identify the type of data and associated operations for handling it.
C++ data types are of two types
(i)
Fundamental Data Types
(ii)
Derived Data Types

(i)

Fundamental Data Types

Fundamental Data Types are those that are not composed of other data types. There are
five fundamental data types in C++: Char, int, float, double & void that represents
character, integer, float.

(ii)

Derived Data Type

(a) Array: It is a set of homogeneous values under one name (similar data elements).
Array can be one dimensional, two dimensional or multi dimensional
Syntax:- datatype arrname [ size]

// Single dimensional

The data type of array elements is known as the Base Type of the array. An ARRAY
is a collection of variables on the same type that are referenced by a common
name.
Q9. Explain Two dimensional array with an example.
Ans.
Declaration of Two Dimensional Arrary
Syntax : - datatype arrname [size] [size]
Example:-

int num[2][5]

// Two dimensional

(array will execute 2 x 5 = 10 times)

int main( )
{
int sales [5][5];
int i,j, total ;
for (i=0; i<5, i++)
{
total =0;
cout<< \n;
for (j=0 ; j< 5; j ++)
{
cin>>sales[i][j];
total =total + sales [i][j];
}
cout<< sales is = << total;
}
return 0;
}

\\(escape sequence)

Q10. What are functions ? Give syntax to define a function.

Ans. Functions
A function is a named unit of a group of program statements. This unit can be invoked from
other parts of the program. A function return values and numbers and arguments as per
instructions stored in a function
Syntax
type function-name (parameter list)
{
body of the function
}
if type of a function is declared then it return values

10

Q11. Define Pointer, Reference and Constant .

Ans.
Pointer: A pointer is a variable that holds a memory address. This address is usually the location of
another variable in memory.
Reference: A reference is an alternative name for an object. A reference variable provides an alias
for a previously defined variable.

Constant: to declare constant value

Syntax :- const datatype var_name= value;
const int num =10;
Q12. Explain any two user defined data types.
Ans. User defined derived data types
Class: A class represents a group of similar objects. A class describes all the properties of a data
type and an object is an entity created according to that description

class cls_name
{
statement
};
Structure: A structure is a collection of variables of different data types referenced under one name.
Variables defined under structure called with the help of structure object. struct keyword is used to
define structure
struct stru_name
{
type varname;
type varname;
};
stru_name obj_name;
cin>>obj_name.varname;
cout<<obj_name.varname;
Q13. What do you mean by variable ?
i)
Ans. Variables: Variables represent named storage locations whose
values can be manipulated

Q14. What are the different types of errors in C++.

Ans. Types of errors in C++
Errors may be made during program creation even by experienced programmers. Such types
of error are detected by the compiler. Debugging means removing the errors.
The errors are categorized in four types:(i)
Syntax errors
(ii)
Linking errors
(iii)
Execution time errors (Run Time errors)
(iv)
Logical errors
11

Q15. Write the C++ equivalent expressions for the following.

Volume = 3 .1459r2 h/3
Ans.

Volume = 3.1459*r*r*h/3;

Q16. Find the syntax error (s) if if any, in the following program:
#include<iostream.h>
int main()
int x;
cin<< x;
for(int y = 0; y < 10; y++)
cout >> x+y;
Ans

The syntax error are:

1. illegal`<<` operator in cin statement.
2. illegal`>>` operator in cout statement., return value function.

Q17. differentiate between a run-time error and syntax error. Give one example of each.
Ans. While execution, a compiled program may not behave properly because of some errors called
run time errors. For example, divide by zero is a run time error. The following program
segment will generate such an error.The following program segment will generate such an
error
while flag
{
.
b = b-1 ;
term = a/b;
.
}
Array indicates out of bound, and range errors are other examples of run time errors. A
syntax error, on the other hand, is because of misuse of a programming language. Any
violation of a grammatical rule of a programming language will produce a syntax error.
Such errors are caught by language compiler. The following statement is not systactically
correct as far as c++ is concerned .
X= y + z** E;
Q18. What is the difference between an object and a class?
Ans. An object is an identifiable entity with some characteristics and behaviour. It represents an
entity that can store data and its associated functions.
A class is a group of objects that share common properties and relationships
Q19. Write a program to input any number and print in reverse order
Ans in this program the number is input by user
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
int n,s=0;
12

cout<<" enter the number:- ";

cin>>n;
while(n>0)
{
s=s*10+n%10;
n=n/10;
}
cout<<"revese="<<s;
getch();
}
Q20. Write a program for decalring and calling of function inside main and defining outside
the main ()
Ans
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
void fact();
fact();
getch();
// for freeze the montior
}
void fact()
{
int i=1,n,fact=1;
cout<<"enter the number=";
cin>>n;
while(i<=n)
{
fact=fact*i
i++;
}
cout<<"fact="<<fact;
getch();
}
Q21. Swapping of two numbers using function call by value & call by reference.
Ans
Call by value
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
clrscr();
int a,b;
cout<<"enter the number=";
cin>>a>>b;
void swap(int,int);
swap(a,b);
cout<<"A="<<a<<endl;
cout<<"B="<<b;
13

getch();
}
void swap(int a,int b)
{
int t=a;
a=b;
b=t;
cout<<a<<b;
}
Call by reference
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
void swap( int &a, int &b);
//prototype of a function
int num1,num2;
clrscr();
cout << enter both numbers: num1 & num2:;
cin>>num1;
cout<< \n;
cin>>num2;
cout<< \n Before swapping numbers are \n;
cout<< num1= <<num1;
cout<< \n;
cout<< num2= <<num2;
cout<< \n;
swap(num1,num2);
//calling of function
cout<< \n After swapping numbers are \n;
cout<< num1= <<num1;
cout<< \n;
cout<< num2= <<num2;
cout<< \n;
getch( );
//for freeze the monitor
}
void swap(int &a, int &b)
//function definition
{
int temp=a;
a=b;
b=temp;
}
Q22. Name the header files of following built in functions :
Strcpy(), strcat(),log(), clrscr(),setw(),fabs(),isalnum(),isupper()
Ans. Strcpy()
string.h
Strcat()
string.h
log()

Chapter -2
OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
Q1. Give an example of polymorphism.
Ans. Polymorphism (overloading)
Function overloading
If a function name is same and use more than one time with different parameters is called
function overloading.
void num( )
{
int a;
a= 5*10;
void num1 (int a)
{
int b;
b= a*a;
return;
}

At calling time we can also overload the functions

Q2. Write 4 advantages of Object oriented programming.

Ans. Advantages of OOP

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Q3.
Ans.

Re-use of code
Based on comprehensive approach
Program can be maintained using encapsulation and hiding of data
Easy to maintain , cost effective
Easy to redesign and easy to extend

Illustrate the concept of function overloading with the help a function namely
Area that return a float type value
A function name having several definitions that are differentiable by the number of types of
their arguments, is known as function overloading.
For example, following code overloads a function area to compute areas of circle, rectangle
and triangle.
float area (float radius)
// for computing area of a circle
{
return 3.14 * radius * radius;
}
flaot area ( float length , float breadth)
// for calculation area
{
return length * breadth;
}

Chapter -3
CLASSES AND OBJECTS
Q1. What is class? What is its need?
Classes
A class is a way to bind the data describing an entity and its associated functions together. In
C++ , class makes a data type that is used to create objects of this type.
Need for classes
Classes are needed to represent real-world entities that not only have data type properties
(Characteristics) but also have associated operations (their behaviour)

Q2 . Differentiate between local and global class with help of example.

Ans. 1. Global Class
A class is said to be global it its declaration occurs outside the bodies of all functions in a
program.
2. Local class
A class is said to be local if its occurs inside the function body
# include<iostream.h>
class x
//x is a global class
{
members variable functions of class;
};
x ob1;

//global object

int main ( )
{
class num
{
public:
int a=10;
void num( )
{
cout<<num;
};

// num is local class

// constructor (same name of class)

x ob2;
num n1;
n1.num( );
}

//local object of class x

// n1is a class object
// closing of main ()

Q3. What do you mean by nested class ?Explain.

Ans. Nested class

Declaration of one class in to another class is called is called nested of a class.
#include<iostream.h>
16

#include<conio.h>
class score
{
int a;
class batesman
{
int b;

// for clrscr()

//private member variable

// nested class

public:
int c;
void total( )
{
cin>>b>>c;
int sum = b+c;
}
batesman( )
{
c=10;
}
};
// end of class batesman
batesman obj2;
// object of class batesman
void second( void)
{
cout<<score :: second()<<endl;
cout<<A = <<a
}
score( )
{
a= 25;
}
};
//end of class score;
void main()
{
score ab;
batesman bc;
score :: batesman cd;
ab.second();
bc.total();
cd.total();
}
Q4.
Ans.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of inline functions?

The main advantages of inline functions is that they save on the overheads of a
function call as the function is not invoked, rather its code is replaced in the program.
The major disadvantage of inline functions is that with more function calls, more
memory is wasted as for every function call, the same function code is inserted in the
program. Repeated occurrences of same function code waste memory space.

Q9 .

What do you understand by member function?

Member function have full access privilege to both the public and private members of
the class. These are defined within the class scope that is they are not visible outside
the scope of class.
But not member functions are visible outside the class (ordinary functions)
What are static class members?
A class can have static data members as well as static member functions The static
data members are the class variables that are common for all the objects of the class.
Only one copy of static data members is maintained which is shared by all the objects
of the class. They are visible only with in the class
Identify the errors in the following code fragment:
class ab
{
int x;
static int ctr;
Public:
Void init(void)
{
x=ctr=0;
}
static void print(void)
{
cout<<ctr<<x;
}
};
In the above code fragment, a static member function is trying to access a non static
member that is x which is the error
The correct code for static member function is
static void print(void)
{
cout<<ctr;
}
What is the significance of access specifiers in a class?
A class provides three access specifiers namely private, public and protected
(a) A data member declared as private or protected remains hidden from outside
world and it can only be accessed by the member functions of the class.
(b) A data member declared as public is made available to the outside world. That is,
it can be accessed by any function, any expression in the program but only by
using an object of the same class type.
These access labels enforce data hiding and abstraction also.
Write the output of the following code
#include<iostream.h>
class counter
{
private:
unsigned int count;
public:
counter()
// constructor
{
count=0;
}
void inc_count( )
{

// increment in count variable

18

count ++;

int get_count( )
return count;

{
}
};

void main()
{
counter c1,c2;
cout<< \n value for c1 is: <<c1.get_count( );
cout<< \n value for c2 is: <<c2.get_count( );
c1.inc_count();
c2.inc_count();
c2.inc_count();
cout<< \t c1= <<c1.get_count();
cout<< \t c2= <<c2.get_count();
}
Ans

The output will be

c1=0

c2=0

c1=1

c2=2

Chapter 4
CONSTRUCTOR AND DESTRUCTORS
Q1. What is Constructor ?
Ans. Constructors:
A constructor is a special member function of a class that is automatically called, when an
object is created of that class. A member function with the same name as its class is called
constructor.

Q2. What is destructor ? What is its need ?

Ans. Destructor:
A destructor is also a member function whose name is the same as the class name but is
preceded by tilde (~)
A destructor takes no arguments and no return types can be specified for it. It is called
automatically by the compiler when an object is destroyed. A destructor cleans up the storage (
memory area of the object) that is no longer accessible.
Need for Destructors
Allocated resources (like constructor) must be de-allocated before the object is destroyed. It
works as a de-allocating and releasing memory area and it perform our works as a clean up
tasks. Therefore, a destructor is equally useful as a constructor is.
class stud
{
stud()
{
cout << welcome

//constructor

19

}
~stud()
{
}

//destructor

};
stud s1;

Q1.

What are the characteristics of a Constructors?

Ans.

The constructor functions have certain special characteristics:1. Constructor fuctions are invoked automatically when the objects are created.
2. If a class has a constructor, each object of that class will be initialized before any use is
made of the object.
3. No return type can be specified for a constructor
4. They can not be inherited through a derived class can call the base class constructor
5. A constructor may not be static.
6. It is not possible to take the address of a constructor
7. Member functions may be called from within a constructor.

Q2.
Ans

What do you understand by default constructor?

A default constructor is the one that takes no arguments. It is automatically invoked when an
object is created without providing any initial values. In case, the programmer has not
defined a default constructor, the compiler automatically generates it.

Q3.

Consider the following declaration :

Class welcome
{
public:
welcome (int x, char ch);
welcome();

// constructor with parameter

// constructor without parameter

void compute();
private:
int x;
char ch;
};
which of the following are valid statements
welcome obj (33, a9);
welcome obj1(50, 9);
welcome obj3();
obj1= welcome (45, T);
obj3= welcome;
Ans.

Valid and invalid statements are

welcome obj (33, a9);
welcome obj1(50, 9);
welcome obj3();
obj1= welcome (45, T);
obj3= welcome;

valid
valid
invalid

Q4 .
Ans

What is copy constructor?

Copy constructor:
A copy constructor is a constructor that can be used to initialize one object with the values
from another object of same class during declaration.

Q5 .
Ans

What is the relationship between constructor and its class? Define constructor also
Both carry the same name. It is a function that automatically initializes the data members of
an object at the time of its creation.
Constructor : It removes the memory held by an object, It is the last member function to be
called. Morevoer, it carries the same name of the class with tidle (~) as prefix.

Q6.

How many time is the copy constructor called in the following code?
Sample func(sample u)
{
sample v(u);
sample w=v;
return w;
}
void main()
{
sample x;
sample y = func(x);
sample z = func(y);
}
Ans . 8 times
Q9.

What will be output of following?

# include<iostream.h>
class play
{
public:
play()
{
calculate();
void calculate()
{
show();

INHERITANCE: EXTENDING CLASSES
Q1. What is Inheritance ?
Ans. It is a special feature of OOPS. Inheritance is capability to inherit the properties of one
class in to another class.
The derive new class is called derived class (sub class) and old class is called based class
(super class).
The Class whose properties of data members are inherited, is called Base Class or Super
Class and the class that inherits these properties, is called Derived Class or Sub Class.
Exp1:If Class A inherits the data of Class B then we can say A is Sub Class and B is
Super Class.
Q2. What are the different types of inheritance ?
Ans. Type of Inheritance
1. Single Inheritance
Class automobile

Class car

it is a Base class (super)

it is a sub class (derived)

2. Multiple Inheritance
vehicle

automobile
Car

Base class

Derived class

3. Hierarchical Inheritance
Vehicle
automobile

Base class (super)

car

Sub Class( derived)

4. Multilevel Inheritance
Class vehicle

Class automobile

Class Car

it is a Base class (super) of automobile

it is a sub class (derived) of automobile

and base class of class car

derived class(sub) of class automobile

22

5. Hybrid Inheritance
It is combination of two or more forms of inheritance.

Q2. What do you mean by Base and Derived Class ?

Ans. A derived class (or sub class) has to identify the class from which it is derived i.e. its base
class (or super class)
class derived-class-name : visibility-mode base-class-name
{
members of derived class;
};
class is a key word and visibility mode is a access speicifier (i.e. public, private or
protected), : (colon) is used separation
colon (:) indicates derived class (sub class) is based on base class( super class)
Example
class car : public automobile
{
members
};
Q3. What is Multiple Inheritance ?
Ans. Multiple Inheritance means deriving a class from more than one base class.
Class kvschool
{
int rollno1;
void num1();
Public:
{
float kvroll;
void num2();
};
class kvstud
{
int rollno2
void num3();
Protected:
float kvroll1;
void num4();
};
class kvclass : public kvschool, public kvstud
{
int kvroll2;
protected:
void display();
};
// to complete the program deifine display () in class kvclass
i.e. kvclass ::display()
23

Q4.
Ans

Define the needs and objectives of Inheritance.

The major needs and objectives of inheritance are:
(i)
It ensures the closeness with the real world models.
(ii)
It extend the functionality of an existing class.
(iii)
It establishes a kind of relationship.
(iv)
It helps in reuse of an existing class by a subclass (reusability).
(v)
It implements transitive nature( if a class Y inherits properties from class X, then all
subclassY will automatically inherit the properties of X)
(vi)
The redundancy can be reduced by abstracting a super class from few sub classes.
(vii) It is conept of reusability.

DATA FILE HANDLING
Q1. Define File .
Ans.A file is a bunch of bytes stored on some storage devices.
Q2.
Ans

How are binary file differ from text files in c++?

When a file is opened in text mode, various character translations may take place, such as the
conversion of carriage return and linefeed sequences into newlines. However, no such
character translations occur in files opened in binary mode. Any file can be opened in either
text or binary mode. The only difference is the occurrence of character translations in text
mode.
Q3. What is a stream? Name the streams generally used for file I/O.
Ans A stream is a sequence of bytes. Or in other words, a stream is a flow of bytes into or out of a
program. Generally three streams are used for file I/O. These are:
(i)
Ifstream: It is derived from istream class and it is used to associate a file with an input
buffer so that the file can be read from.
(ii)
Ofstream: It is derived from ostream class and it is used to associate a file with an output
buffer so that the file can be written from.
(iii)
fstream: It is derived from iostream class and it is used to associate a file with a buffer so
that the file can be read from as well as written onto.
Q4. Differentiate between ifstream class and ofstream class.
Ans The ifstream class is an input stream class, which provides input operations for file.
The ofstream class is an output stream class, which provides output operations for file.
Q5.
Ans
Q6.
Ans

Q7.
Ans

Differentiate between functions read() and write().

The read() lets one read a unit of information from a file and a write() lets one write a unit of
information to a file.
Differentiate between getline() and getc() functions.
getc() function can read one character at a time .On the other hand , getline() can read a line
of text of specified size.
getc() is defined in stdio.h however getline() is defined in iostream.h
Name two member functions of ofstream class.
seekp() , tellp()

Q8.
Ans

Distinguish between ios::out and ios::app.

The ios::out is the default file mode of ofstream. With the mode of the file does not exist, it
gets created but if the file exists then its existing contents get deleted. On the other hand
ios::app is also an output mode , which creates the file if it does not exist but if the file exists
then its existing contents are retained and new information is appended to it.
Q9. What is the difference between the functioning of ios::ate and ios::app file modes.
Ans Both ios::ate and ios::app place the file pointer at the end of the file just opened. The
difference between two is that ios::app lets you add data to the end of the file only, while the
ios::ate mode when opened with ofstream allows you to write data anywhere in the file, even
over old data.
Q10. What is the need and usage of read() and write() functions when there are get() and
put() functions for I/O.
Ans The get () and put () function perform I/O byte by byte .On the other hand, read () and write
() functions lets you read and write structures and objects in one go without creating the need
for I/O for individual constituent fields.
26

Q11. What is the difference between get() and read()?

Ans The read() declared under iostream.h extracts a given number of characters into an array.
The get() declared under iostream.h either extracts the next character or EOF or extracts
characters into a char* until eof or delimiter encountered or specified(len-1) bytes have been
read.
Q12. Write a C++ program, which reads one line at a time from the disk file TEST.TXT, and
displays it to a monitor. Your program has to read all the contents of the file. Assume
the length of the line does not exceed 70 characters.
Ans #include<fstream.h>
void main()
{
char str[80];
ifstream fin(Test.txt);
if (!fin)
{
cout<<Error in the opening;
return 1;
}
while(fin)
{
fin.getline(str,70);
cout<<str<<endl;
}
fin.close();
}
Q13.

Ans

Q14.

Write a function to count the number of blanks present in text file named PARA.TXT;

void countblanks()
{
char ch;
int count=0;
ifstream fin(PARA.TXT,ios::in);
while(!fin.eof())
{
fin.get(ch)
if(fin.eof())
break;
if(ch== )
count++;
}
fin.close();
cout<<count;
}
Write a Program to write and read a structure using write() and read() function using a
binary file
#include<fstream.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
struct customer
{
char name[51];
float balance;

};
27

Ans

void main()
{
clrscr();
customer savac;
strcpy(savac.name,Tina Marshall);
savac.balance=21310.75;
ofstream fout;
fout.open(Saving , ios::out|ios::binary);

fout.write(char *)&savac ,sizeof(customer));
fout.close();
ifstream fin;
fin.open(Saving,ios::in|ios::binary);
fin.read(cahr *)&savac,sizeof(customer));
cout<<savac.name;
cout<<has the balance Rs<<savac.balance<<\n;
fin.close();
}
:- Tina Marshall has the balance Rs 21310.75

arts[i].display();
}
filin.close();
}

Chapter -8
POINTERS
Pointers :
-

Pointer is a variable that holds a memory address of another variable.

It supports dynamic allocation routines.
It can improve the efficiency of certain routines.

C++ Memory Map :

-

Program Code : It holds the compiled code of the program.

Global Variables : They remain in the memory as long as program continues.
Stack : It is used for holding return addresses at function calls, arguments passed to the
functions, local variables for functions. It also stores the current state of the CPU.
Heap : It is a region of free memory from which chunks of memory are allocated via DMA
functions.
Static Memory Allocation : The amount of memory to be allocated is known in advance and it
allocated during compilation, it is referred to as Static Memory Allocation.
Eg. Int a;
// This will allocate 2 bytes for a during compilation.
Dynamic Memory Allocation : The amount of memory to be allocated is not known beforehand
rather it is required to allocated as and when required during runtime, it is referred to as dynamic
memory allocation.
C++ offers two operator for DMA new and delete.
29

Free Store : It is a pool of unallocated heap memory given to a program that is used by the program
for dynamic memory allocation during execution.

Declaration and Initialization of Pointers :

Datatype

*variable_name;

Syntax : Datatype *variable_name;

Int *p;
Eg. Int *p;

float *p1;

float *p1;

char *c;

char *c;

Two special unary operator * and & are used with pointers. The & is a unary operator that returns
the memory address of its operand.
Eg. Int a = 10; int *p; p = &a;

Pointer arithmetic:
Two arithmetic operations, addition and subtraction, may be performed on pointers.
When you add 1 to a pointer, you are actually adding the size of whatever the pointer is pointing at.
That is, each time a pointer is incremented by 1, it points to the memory location of the next element
of its base type.
Eg.
Int *p;
P++;
If current address of p is 1000, then p++ statement will increase p to 1002, not 1001.
If *c is char pointer and *p is integer pointer then
Char pointer

c+1

c+2

c+3

c+4

c+5

c+6

c+7

Address
Int pointer

100

101

102

103

104

105

106

107

p+1

p+2

p+3

Adding 1 to a pointer actually adds the size of pointers base type.

Base address : A pointer holds the address of the very first byte of the memory location where it is
pointing to. The address of the first byte is known as BASE ADDRESS.

Dynamic Allocation Operators :

C++ dynamic allocation routines obtain memory for allocation from the free store, the pool of
unallocated heap memory provided to the program. C++ defines two unary operators new and delete
that perform the task of allocating and freeing memory during runtime. The operators new and
delete are also called as free store operators.
Creating Dynamic Array :
Syntax : pointer-variable = new data-type [size];
Eg. int * array = new int[10];
Not array[0] will refer to the first element of array, array[1] will refer to the second element. No
initializes can be specified for arrays.
All array sizes must be supplied when new is used for array creation.
Two dimension array :
Int *arr, r, c;
30

R = 5; c = 5;
Arr = new int [r * c];
Now to read the element of array, you can use the following loops :
For (int i = 0; i < r; i++)
{
cout << \n Enter element in row << i + 1 << : ;
For (int j=0; j < c; j++)
Cin >> arr [ i * c + j];
}
Memory released with delete as below :
Syntax for simple variable :

For array :

Delete pointer-variable;

delete [size] pointer variable;

Eg. delete p;

Eg. delete [ ] arr;

Pointers and Arrays :

C++ treats the name of an array as if it were a pointer i.e. memory address of some element. C++
interprets an array name as the address of its first element.
That is, if marks is an int array to hold 10 integers then marks stores the address of marks[0], the first
element of the array i.e., the array name marks is a pointer to an integer which is the first element of
array marks[10].
void main()
{
int *m;
int marks[10];
cout << \n Enter marks :;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
cin >> marks[i];
m = marks;
cout << \n m points to << *m;
cout << \n Marks points to << *marks;
}
The name of an array is actually a pointer pointing to the first element of the array.
Since the name of an array is a pointer to its first element, the array+1 gives the address of the
second element, array+2 gives the address of the third element, and so on.
Thus, to print the fourth element of array marks, we can give either of the following :
Cout << marks [3];
OR
cout << * (marks+3);

Array of Pointers :
To declare an array holding 10 int pointers
31

int * ip[10];
That would be allocated for 10 pointers that can point to integers.
Now each of the pointers, the elements of pointer array, may be initialized. To assign the address of
an integer variable phy to the forth element of the pointer array, we have to write
ip[3] = & phy;
Now with *ip[3], we can find the value of phy.
int *ip[5];

ip[4] = &e;

1004

ip is now a pointer pointing to its first element of ip. Thus

ip is equal to address of ip[0], i.e. 1000
*ip (the value of ip[0]) = 1050
* (* ip) = the value of *ip = 12
* * (ip+3) = * * (1006) = * (2450) = 45

Now see the program given below :

#include<iostream.h>
Void main()
{
int x[3][5] = { {1,2,3,4,5}, {6,7,8,9,10}, {11,12,13,14,15} };
int *n = &x[0][0];
cout << \n 1. * ( *(x+2)+1)
=
<< *(*(x+2)+1);
cout << \n 2. *(*x+2)+5
=
<<*(*x+2)+5;
cout << \n 3. *(*(x+1))
=
<< *(*(x+1));
32

cout << \n 4. *(*(x)+2)+1

cout << \n 5. *(*(x+1)+3)
cout << \n 6. *n
cout << \n 7. *(n+2)
cout << \n 8. (*(n+3)+1)

--- *(n+5)+1 = x[1][0] (sixth element) + 1 = 6+1 = 7
--- ++ *n = ++ 1 = 2

Pointers and Strings :

Pointer is very useful to handle the character array also.
Eg :
Char name[] = computer;
Char *cp;
For (cp = name; *cp != \0; cp++)
Cout << --<<*cp;
Output :
--c--o--m--p--u--t--e--r
An array of char pointers is very useful for storing strings in memory.
Char *subject[] = { Chemistry, Phycics, Maths, CS, English };
In the above given declaration subject[] is an array of char pointers whose element pointers contain
base addresses of respective names. That is, the element pointer subject[0] stores the base address of
string Chemistry, the element pointer subject[1] stores the above address of string Physics and
so forth.
An array of pointers makes more efficient use of available memory by consuming lesser number of
bytes to store the string.
An array of pointers makes the manipulation of the strings much easier. One can easily exchange the
positions of strings in the array using pointers without actually touching their memory locations.

Pointers and CONST :

A constant pointer means that the pointer in consideration will always point to the same address. Its
address can not be modified.
33

A pointer to a constant refers to a pointer which is pointing to a symbolic constant.

Look the following example :

Int m = 20;
Int *p = &m;
++ (*p);
Int * const c = &n;
++ (* c);
++ c;
Const int cn = 10;
Const int *pc = &cn;
++ (* pc);
++ pc;
Const int * const cc = *k;
++ (* cc);
++ cc;

// integer m declaration
// pointer p to an integer m
// ok : increments int pointer p
// a const pointer c to an intger n
// ok : increments int pointer c i.e. its contents
// wrong : pointer c is const address cant be modified
// a const integer cn
// a pointer to a const int
// wrong : int * pc is const contents cant be modified
// ok : increments pointer pc
// a const pointer to a const integer
// wrong : int *cc is const
// wrong : pointer cc is const

Pointers and Functions :

A function may be invoked in one of two ways :
1.
call by value
2.
call by reference
The second method call by reference can be used in two ways :
1.
by passing the references
2.
by passing the pointers
Reference is an alias name for a variable. For ex :
Int m = 23;
Int &n = m;
Int *p;
P = &m;
Then the value of m i.e. 23 is printed in the following ways :
Cout << m; // using variable name
Cout << n;
// using reference name
Cout << *p; // using the pointer
Invoking Function by Passing the References :
When parameters are passed to the functions by reference, then the formal parameters become
references (or aliases) to the actual parameters to the calling function.
That means the called function does not create its own copy of original values, rather, it refers to the
original values by different names i.e. their references.
For example the program of swapping two variables with reference method :
#include<iostream.h>
Void main()
{
34

void swap(int &, int &);

int a = 5, b = 6;
cout << \n Value of a : << a << and b : << b;
swap(a, b);
cout << \n After swapping value of a : << a << and b : << b;
}
Void swap(int &m, int &n)
{
int temp;
temp = m;
m = n;
n = temp;
}
output :
Value of a : 5 and b : 6
After swapping value of a : 6 and b : 5
Invoking Function by Passing the Pointers :
When the pointers are passed to the function, the addresses of actual arguments in the calling
function are copied into formal arguments of the called function.
That means using the formal arguments (the addresses of original values) in the called function, we
can make changing the actual arguments of the calling function.
For example the program of swapping two variables with Pointers :
#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
void swap(int *m, int *n);
int a = 5, b = 6;
cout << \n Value of a : << a << and b : << b;
swap(&a, &b);
cout << \n After swapping value of a : << a << and b : << b;
}
void swap(int *m, int *n)
{
int temp;
temp = *m;
*m = *n;
*n = temp;
}
iutput :
Value of a : 5 and b : 6
After swapping value of a : 6 and b : 5
Function returning Pointers :
The way a function can returns an int, an float, it also returns a pointer. The general form of
prototype of a function returning a pointer would be
Type * function-name (argument list);
#include <iostream.h>
int *min(int &, int &);
35

void main()
{
int a, b, *c;
cout << \nEnter a :;
cin >> a;
cout << \nEnter b :;
cint >> b;
c = min(a, b);
cout << \n The minimum no is : << *c;
}
int *min(int &x, int &y)
{
if (x < y )
return (&x);
else
return (&y);
}
Dynamic structures :
The new operator can be used to create dynamic structures also i.e. the structures for which the
memory is dynamically allocated.
struct-pointer = new struct-type;
student *stu;
stu = new Student;
A dynamic structure can be released using the deallocation operator delete as shown below :
delete stu;
Objects as Function arguments :
Objects are passed to functions in the same way as any other type of variable is passed.
When it is said that objects are passed through the call-by-value, it means that the called function
creates a copy of the passed object.
A called function receiving an object as a parameter creates the copy of the object without invoking
the constructor. However, when the function terminates, it destroys this copy of the object by
invoking its destructor function.
If you want the called function to work with the original object so that there is no need to create and
destroy the copy of it, you may pass the reference of the object. Then the called function refers to the
original object using its reference or alias.
Also the object pointers are declared by placing in front of a object pointers name.
Class-name * object-pointer;
Eg. Student *stu;
The member of a class is accessed by the arrow operator (->) in object pointer method.
Eg :
#include<iostream.h>
class Point
{
private :
int x, y
public :
Point()
{
36

x = y = 0;
}
void getPoint(int x1, int y1)
{
x = x1; y = y1;
}
void putPoint()
{
cout << \n Point : ( << x << , << y << );
}
};
void main()
{
Point p1, *p2;
cout << \n Set point at 3, 5 with object;
p1.getPoint(3,5);
cout << \n The point is :;
p1.putPoint();
p2 = &p1;
cout << \n Print point using object pointer :;
p2->putPoint();
cout << \n Set point at 6,7 with object pointer;
p2->getPoint(6,7);
cout<< \n The point is :;
p2->putPoint();
cout << \n Print point using object :;
p1.getPoint();
}
If you make an object pointer point to the first object in an array of objects, incrementing the pointer
would make it point to the next object in sequence.
student stud[5], *sp;
--sp = stud;
// sp points to the first element (stud[0])of stud
sp++;

// sp points to the second element (stud[1]) of stud

sp + = 2;

// sp points to the fourth element (stud[3]) of stud

sp--;

// sp points to the third element (stud[2]) of stud

You can even make a pointer point to a data member of an object. Two points should be considered :
1.
A Pointer can point to only public members of a class.
2.
The data type of the pointer must be the same as that of the data member it points to.

this Pointer :
In class, the member functions are created and placed in the memory space only once. That is only
one copy of functions is used by all objects of the class.
Therefore if only one instance of a member function exists, how does it come to know which
objects data member is to be manipulated ?
37

Member Function1
Object 1

Member Function2
Object 2

Member Function3
Object 3

Data Member 1

Data Member 1

Data Member 1

Data Member 2

Data Member 2

Data Member 2

For the above figure, if Member Function2 is capable of changing the value of Data Member3 and
we want to change the value of Data Member3 of Object3. How would the Member Function2 come
to know which Objects Data Member3 is to be changed ?
To overcome this problem this pointer is used.
When a member function is called, it is automatically passed an implicit argument that is a pointer to
the object that invoked the function. This pointer is called This.
That is if ojbect3 is invoking member function2, then an implicit argument is passed to member
function2 that points to object3 i.e. this pointer now points to object3.
The friend functions are not members of a class and, therefore, are not passed a this pointer.
The static member functions do not have a this pointer.
Summary :
Pointers provide a powerful way to access data by indirection. Every variable has an address, which
can be obtained using the address of operator (&). The address can be stored in a pointer.
Pointers are declared by writing the type of object that they point to, followed by the indirection
operator (*) and the name of the pointer. Pointers should be initialized to point to an object or to null
(0).
You access the value at the address stored in a pointer by using the indirection operator (*). You can
declare const pointers, which can't be reassigned to point to other objects, and pointers to const
objects, which can't be used to change the objects to which they point.
To create new objects on the free store, you use the new keyword and assign the address that is
returned to a pointer. You free that memory by calling the delete keyword on the pointer. delete frees
the memory, but it doesn't destroy the pointer. Therefore, you must reassign the pointer after its
memory has been freed.

Solved Questions
Q. 1 How is *p different from **p ?
Ans : *p means, it is a pointer pointing to a memory location storing a value in it. But **p means, it
is a pointer pointing to another pointer which in turn points to a memory location storing a
value in it.
Q. 2 How is &p different from *p ?
Ans : &p gives us the address of variable p and *p. dereferences p and gives us the value stored in
memory location pointed to by p.
Q. 3 Find the error in following code segment :
Float **p1, p2;
P2 = &p1;
38

Ans : In code segment, p1 is pointer to pointer, it means it can store the address of another pointer
variable, whereas p2 is a simple pointer that can store the address of a normal variable. So
here the statement p2 = &p1 has error.
Q. 4 What will be the output of the following code segment ?
char C1 = A;
char C2 = D;
char *i, *j;
i = &C1;
j = &C2;
*i = j;
cout << C1;
Ans : It will print A.
Q. 5 How does C++ organize memory when a program is run ?
Ans : Once a program is compiled, C++ creates four logically distinct regions of memory :
(i)
area to hold the compiled program code
(ii)
area to hold global variables
(iii)
the stack area to hold the return addresses of function calls, arguments passed to the
functions, local variables for functions, and the current state of the CPU.
(iv)
The heap area from which the memory is dynamically allocated to the program.
Q. 6 Identify and explain the error(s) in the following code segment :
float a[] = { 11.02, 12.13, 19.11, 17.41};
float *j, *k;
j = a;
k = a + 4;
j = j * 2;
k = k / 2;
cout << *j = << *j << , *k = << *k << \n;
Ans : The erroneous statements in the code are :
j = j * 2;
k = k / 2;
Because multiplication and division operations cannot be performed on pointer and j and k
are pointers.
Q. 13 How does the functioning of a function differ when
(i)
an object is passed by value ?
(ii)
an object is passed by reference ?
Ans : (i)
When an object is passed by value, the called function creates its own copy of the
object by just copying the contents of the passed object. It invokes the objects copy
constructor to create its copy of the object. However, the called function destroys its
copy of the object by calling the destructor function of the object upon its
termination.
(i)
When an object is passed by reference, the called function does not create its own
copy of the passed object. Rather it refers to the original object using its reference or
alias name. Therefore, neither constructor nor destructor function of the object is
invoked in such a case.

Q1.

What is wrong with the following while loops ( ans how does the correct ones look like):
(i)

Ans

int counter =1;

(ii)
int counter =1;
While (counter<100)
while (counter <100)
{
cout<<counter<< \n;
cout<<counter<<\n;
counter + +;
counter--;
}
(i) In this loop the counter is decremented, so it will have values 1,0,-1,-2,-3 so this loop
is an infinite loop. To fix, we need to use counter ++ instead of counter - - to fix
while (counter<100)
{

counter + +;
}
(ii) In this loop there are not brackets surrounding the code block of the while loop.
Therefore, only the line immediately following the while statement repeats. To fix, we need
to add grouping bracket around the indented lines after the while statement i.e. as :

Q5.

What do you think about polymorphism and how you can explain for effective coding
as a part of Object Oriented Language?

Ans

Polymorphism in an object oriented programming language works under main() and with
statements like decision statements and looping statements and works under the pointers and
structures. A polymorphism is also be understandable as a function overloading. This is the
ability of an object to behave differently in different circumstances can effectively be
implemented in programming through function overloading.
It helps in coding to represent the same function in different modes of program. The
programmer is relieved from the burden of choosing the right function for a given set of
values. This important responsibility is carried out by the compiler when a function is
overloaded.

Q6.

How we can overload binary operator?. Expalin with example.

Ans

Binary Operator can be overloaded in the same manner as unary operator. We can take an
example of overloading equal to (= =) operator.
We will use this operator to compare the strings, returning values true if strings are same
and false otherwise.
Program of overloading binary operator(= =), declaration of functions inside the class.
#include <iostream.h>
#include<string.h>
enum boolean { true , false };
// use of enum
class string
{
private:
char s[100];
public:
string()
{
strcpy(s, );
}
44

// overloading of string function
{
strcpy (s,a);
}
void display()
{
cout<<s;
}
void gets()
{
cin.get(s,100)
}
Boolean operator = =(string ss)
{
return (strcmp(s,ss.s)= =0)?true :false;
}
};

{
string s1= overlaod;
string s2;

Find the errors in the following program. State reasons:
#include<iostream.h>
class A
{
int a1;
public:
int a2;
protected:
int a3;
};
class B: public A
{
public:
void func()
{
int b1,b2,b3;

q=01.a2;
r=01.a3;
i=01.a1;
j=01.a2;
k=01.a3;
47

return 0;

Ans

The errors in the above given program are as described below:

1. B:: func() cannot access A::a1 as a1 is a private member of A, Therefore, b1=a1;
is illegal
2. C=f() cannot access A::a1 as a1 is a private number of A, Therefore,
c1=a1;
is illegal
3. In main(), the statement p=01.a1; is illegal because a1 is not the public member of B and
hence cannot be accessed directly by its objects.
4. In main(), the statement r = 01.a3; is illegal for the same reason as specified in point 3.
5. The statements
i = 02.a1;
f = 02.a2;
k = 02.a3;
are illegal as neither of a1,a2 and a3 are public members of C (which is inheriting
privately from A) and hence cannot be accessed directly by the objects of C class.

Q15

What is the relationship between an array and a pointer ? Given below a function to tranverse
a character array using For-loop. Use a pointer in place of an index X and substitute for-loop
with while-loop so that the output of the function stringlength() remains the same.
int strlength(char s[])
{
int count = 0;
for (int x = 0; s[x]; x++)
cout ++;
return (count);
}

Ans : The relationship between an array and a pointer is that the name of an array is actually a
pointer pointing to the first element of the array.
int strlength(char s[])
{
int count = 0;
while (*s)
{
count++;
s++;
return (count);

Ans : jENnRIXA
Q17

What do you under by memory leaks ? What are the possible reasons for it ? How can
memory leaks be avoided ?
Ans : If the objects, that are allocated memory dynamically, are not deleted using delete, the
memory block remains occupied even at the end of the program. Such memory blocks are
known as orphaned memory blocks.
50

This orphaned memory blocks when increase in number, bring as adverse effect on the
system. This situation is known as memory leak. The possible reasons for this are :
(i)
A dynamically allocated object not deleted using delete.
(ii)
Delete statement is not getting executed because of some logical error.
(iii)
Assigning the result of a new statement to an already occupied pointer.
The memory leaks can be avoided by
(ii)
making sure that a dynamically allocated object is deleted.
(iii)
A new statement stores its return values (a pointer) in a fresh pointer.
Q18 Predict and explain the output of the following program :
Ans : #include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
clrscr();
float x = 5.999;
float *y, *z;
y = &x;
z = y;
cout << x << , << (&x) << , << *y << , << *z << \n;
return 0;
}
Ans : The output of this program will be
5.999, 5.999, 5.999, 5.999
The reason for this is x gives the value stored in the variable x. *(&x) gives the data value
stored in the address &x i.e. address of x i.e. the data value of x. Since y points to x ( y =
&x), *y gives the value of x. And because z has the same address as that of y. *z also gives
the value of x i.e. 5.999.
Q19

Give the output following program :

#include<iostream.h>
Int a = 13;

ARRAYS & LINKED LIST
Defination of Datastructure
A data structure is a logical method of representing data in memory using the simple and complex
data types provided by the language.
Arrays:
An array is collection of the homogeneous elements that are referred by a common name. It is also
called a subscripted variable as the elements of an array are used by the name of an array and an
index or subscript.
Array are of two types:
1. One-dimensional arrays
2. Multi-dimensional arrays.
Address Calculation:
The array elements are stored in contiguous memory locations by sequential allocation technique.
Address of arr[i] = B+(I-LB)*S
Sequential Allocation:
The process of storing elements in a fixed order in a data structure where the time required for such
access is dependent on the order of the elements.
Using Row Major order the add of a [i] [j] is given by,
Address of a [i] [j]= B+[(i-LB1)*N+(j-LB2)]*S
Using column Major order the add of a [i] [j] is given by,
Address of a [i] [j]= B+[(i-LB1)+(j-LB2)*M]*
One Dimensional Array:
The simplest type of data structure is a one dimensional array in which each elements of a
linear array is referenced by one subscript.
The operations one normally perform on any linear structure include the following:
(a) Traversal: processing each elements in the list.
(b) Search: finding the location of the element with a given value or the record with a given key.
Linear Search: this is a neutral searching method in which we search for a element by
traversing through the entire list from beginning until we get the element.
Binary Search: the search can be made faster by an algorithm in which the list or the array
should be sorted in advance is called binary search.
(c) Insertion: adding a new element to the list.
(d) Deletion: removing an element from the list.
(e) Sorting: arranging the elements in some types of order.
Insertion sort: this sorting method divides the list into sorted part and unsorted part. It
picks up one element from the front of the unsorted part and inserts it at its proper place in
the sorted part and repeats this action till the unsorted part is exhausted.
Selection sort: it is very simple way of sorting data stored in a one dimensional array. All
the elements in the array are searched for the smallest element. The selected element is
exchanged with the first element in the array.
Bubble sort: it is also very simple sorting algorithm. This method proceeds by looking the
array for left to right, and whenever a pair of adjacent elements is found to be out of order,
52

the elements are exchanged. Therefore, after the first pass, the largest element is the array
will have bubble up to one end of the array.
(f) Merging: merging is the process of combining two or more sorted arrays into another array
which is also sorted.
Concatenation of Two Linear Array
Concatenation means joining the element of two arrays to form a new array. First copy all
the elements of one array and then copy all the elements of other array into the new array.
The size of the concatenated array must be equal to or greater than that of the sum of sizes of
the two arrays to be concatenated.
Two Dimensional Array:
A two dimensional array(having two subscripts) is suitable for table processing or matrix
manipulation.
Traversal: it means visiting each element one after the other.
Finding sum/difference of two NM arrays containing numeric values:
The sum/difference of two NM arrays containing numeric values can be obtained by
adding/subtracting the corresponding elements of the two arrays. The result can either be
directly displayed on monitor or stored into third array of size NM and then this resulting
array can be displayed.
For example, the sum of two arrays A and B of size 32 is shown below.

We may even have negative values as array elements or after sum/difference.

Interchanging Row and Column elements in a Two Dimensional Array:
Interchanging means swapping the values. The elements of row and column can be interchanged
only if the array is of size NN as the result is to be stored in the array itself.

For example,

Stacks :
A stack is a list of elements in which an element may be inserted or deleted only at one end, called
the TOP of the stack. This means, in particular, that elements are removed from a stacks in the
reverse order of that in which they were inserted into the stack.
53

A stack is a last-in first-out or LIFO data structure.

(a) Push s the term used to insert an element into a stack.
(b) Pop is the term used to delete an element from the stack.
Queue:
A queue is a linear list of elements in which deletions can take place only at one end, called the
front, and insertions can take place only at the other end, called the rear. The terms front and
rear are used in describing a linear list only when it is implemented as a queue.
A queues are also called first-in first-out(FIFO) list.
Linked List:
A linked list is a linear collection of data elements, called nodes pointing to the next nodes by
means of pointers.
Stack As A linked List
A linked list is a dynamic data structure where space requirements need not be predetermined. A
stack implemented as a linked list also inherits all these properties. The creation of a stack (as a
linked list ) is the same as the creation of a linked list I.E, after getting a node for the ITEM to be
inserted, TOP(pointer pointing to the top) points to the newly inserted node.
Insertion In Alinked Stack (Pushing):-As a push can occur only at the top , top gets modified every time.
For instance, if we have a stack as shown:---

Deletion from a linked stack (popping) :-Deletion i.e., popping also requires modification of top , that is , top is made to point to the next
node in the sequence as shown:---

What is meant by the term Overflow & Underflow?
Overflow means attempt to INSERT when the list is full and no free space is available.
Underflow means attempt to DELETE an item from an empty list.
Distinguish between infix, prefix and postfix algebric expression giving examples of
each.
Infix Notation : In this notaion, the operator symbol is placed in between the operands eg.
A+B, (A-C)* B
Prefix Notation : In this notation, the operator symbol is placed before its operands eg.
+AB, *-ACB
Postfix Notation : In this notation, the operator symbol is placed after its operands eg.
AB+, AC-B*, ABC*+
Evaluate the following postfix notation of expression, show status of stack for each
operation
500, 20, 30, + , 10, * , +
Adding ] to mark the end of given postfix expression ie. 500, 20, 30 +, 10, *, + ]
First 500 will be added to the stack, then 20 and then 30.
Then we get an operator + so 20 will be added to 30 and pushed to the stack. Then 10 is
pushed to the stack.
Then * operator is found thus it multiplies 10 with 50 and the result is pushed into the stack.
Then again + operator is found which adds 500 with 500 that is placed in the stack. And we
get the result 1000.

Q2.
Ans.

How is computer memory allotted for two dimensional array?

For two-dimensional array, computer memory is allocated either in Row-major form or
column-major form.
Row-major form stores the 2-D array row wise ie. firstly the first row is stored, then the
second row, then the third row and so forth.
Column-major form stores the 2-D array columnwise ie. firstly the first column, then the
second column, then the third column and so on.
The default form is Row-major form.

Chapter 11 & 12
DATABASE CONCEPTS & SQL
Database :
Database is a collection of different kinds of data which are connecting with some relation.
In different way, it is a computer based record keeping system. The collection of data referred to as a
database.
Purpose of Database :
Years ago, for keeping record, a typical file-processing system is used. A number of different
application programs are written to extract records from and add records to the appropriate files. But
this scheme has a number of major limitations and disadvantages, such as data redundancy, data
inconsistency, unsharable data, unstandardized data, insecure data, incorrect data, etc.
A database management system is answer to all these problems as it provides a centralized control of
the data.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Databases reduce the data redundancy to a large extent

Databases can control data inconsistency to a large extent
Databases facilitate sharing of data
Databases enforce standards
Databases can ensure data security
Integrity can be maintained through databases

Data : It is row facts, figures, characters, etc with which we have to start.
Information : The processed data or meaningful data is known as information.
Database : An organized collection of relational data is called as database.
DBMS : It is a Database Management System. It is a system to used for create database, store the
data, secure it and fetch data whenever required. MS Access, Oracle is the example of DBMS.
Database Abstraction :
A major purpose of a database system is to provide the users only that much information that is
required by them. This means that the system does not disclose all the details of data, rather it hides
certain details of how the data is stored and maintained. A good database system ensures easy,
smooth and efficient data structures in such a way so that every type of database user : end user,
application system analyst, and physical storage system analyst, is able to access its desired
information efficiently.
Various Levels of Database Implementation :
1.

2.
3.

Internal Level (Physical Level) : This level describes how the data are actually stored
on the storage medium. At this level, complex low-level data structures are described in
details. Eg. RollNo is in Byte(4), offset = 34.
Conceptual Level : It describes what data are actually stored in the database. It also
describes the relationships existing among data. Eg. ItemCode is in Numeric(5).
External Level (View Level Logical Level) : This is the level closest to the users. It is
concerned with the way in which the data are viewed by individual users. Most of the
users of the database are not concerned with all the information contained in the database.
Eg. View 1 contains RollNo, Name, DOB.
57

Data Independence :
The ability to modify a scheme definition in one level without affecting a scheme definition in the
next higher level is called Data Independence.
i.
Physical Data Independence : It refers to the ability to modify the scheme followed at the
physical level without affecting the scheme followed at the conceptual level.
ii.

Logical Data Independence : It refers to the ability to modify the conceptual scheme
without causing any changes in the schemes followed at view levels.

Data Models :
The external level and conceptual level user certain data structures to help utilize the database
efficiently. There are three data models that are used for database management system are :
1. Relational Data Model
2. Hierarchical Data Model 3. Network Data Model
THE RELATIONAL MODEL :
The relational model was propounded by E.F. Codd of the IBM and has since been acknowledged as
a very important concept in DBMS. The relational model has established itself as the primary data
model for commercial data processing applications.
Relation : A relation is a table, i.e. data arranged in rows and columns.
Domain : It is a pool of values from which the actual values appearing in a given column are drawn.
Item#

Eg. The values appearing in the ItemCode# column of both the Item_Master table and the
Pur_Master are drawn from the underlined domain of all valid Item Codes.
A domain is said to be atomic if elements of the domain are considered to be indivisible units.
Tuple : The rows of tables are generally referred to as Tuples.
Attributes : The columns of tables are generally referred to as attributes.
Degree : The number of attributes in a relation determine the degree of a relation. A relation having
5 attributes is said to be a relation of degree 5.
Cardinality : The number of tuples in relation is called the Cardinality of the relation. Eg.
Cardinality of Purchase_Master relation is 5.
58

Views :
A view is a kind of table whose contents are taken from other tables depending upon a conditions.
Views do not contain data of their own. The contents of a view are determined by carrying out the
execution of the given query.
A view is a virtual table that does not really exists in its own right but is instead derived from one or
more underlying base table(s).
Keys : It is important to be able to specify how rows in a relation are distinguished conceptually,
rows are distinct from one another, but from a database perspective the difference among them must
be expressed in terms of their attributes. Keys come here for a rescue.
Primary Key : It is a set of one or more attributes that can uniquely identify tuples within the
relation. Eg. Item# is the primary key for Item_Master.
Candidate Key : All attributes combinations inside a relation that can serve as primary key are
Candiadate keys as they are candidates for the Primary Key position.
Alternate Key : A candidate key that is not the primary key is called an alternate key.
Foreign Key : A non-key attribute, whose values are derived from the primary key of some other
table, is known as Foreign Key in its current table. Here Item# of Purchase_Master is foreign key,
because it is derived from Item_Master.
Referential Integrity : It is a system of rules that a DBMS uses to ensure that relationships between
records in related tables are valid, and that users dont accidentally delete or change related data.
The Relational Algebra :
It is set of operations that can be used to manipulate relations. Each operation operates on one or
more than one relation and produces a new relation.
(i)
Union : If the degree of two relations is same and their corresponding attributes are
defined on the same domain then the relations are called union compatible. The operator
for union is ;
Ex : C = A B
(ii)
Intersection : If two relations A and B are union compatible then they can also
participate in an intersection operation. Its result is the common tuples. The operator for
intersection is ;
Ex : C = A B
(iii)
Difference : The operator is -;
Ex : C = A B
The tuples of C are belonging to A which do not belong to B.
(iv)
Cartesian Product : It returns a concatenation of each tuple of A with each tuple of B.
Ex : C = A X B
(v)
Select :Whenever user desires to search or select tuples of a relation depending upon a
condition being true, the operation is known as a select operation. The operator is .
Ex : marks > 95 (Students)
(vi)
Projection : A projection operation on a relation produces a vertical subset of the relation
in the sense that it returns the relation minus certain columns.
Ex : name, roll (Students)
(vii) Natural Join ( |X| ) :
If two relations A and B have at least one common attribute then they can participate in a
Join operation. The resultant relation contains the attributes of both A and B.

SQL Structured Query Language :

59

SQL is the set of commands that is recognized by nearly all RDBMS. It is a language that enables us
to create and operate on relational databases, which are sets of related information stored in tables.
Processing Capabilities of SQL :
1.
2.

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Data Definition Language : The SQL DDL provides commands for defining relation
schemas, deleting relations, creating indexes, and modifying relation schemas.
Interactive Data Manipulation Language : The SQL DML includes a query language
based on both the relational algebra and the tuple relational calculus. It includes also
commands to insert, delete and modify tuples in the database.
Emedded Data Manipulation Language : The embedded form of SQL ids designed for
use within general-purpose programming languages such as PL/1, Cobol, Fortran, etc.
View Definition : The SQL DDL also includes commands for defining views.
Authorization : The SQL DDL includes commands for specifying access rights to
relations and views.
Integrity : The SQL provides forms of integrity checking. Future products and standards
of SQL are likely to include enhanced features for integrity checking.
Transaction Control : SQL includes commands for specifying the beginning and ending
of transactions along with commands to have a control over transaction processing.

Data Definition Language :

A database scheme is specified by a set of definitions which are expressed by a special language
called a data definition language (DDL). The result of compilation of DDL statements is a set of
tables which are stored in a special file called data dictionary or directory.
A Data Dictionary is a file that contains Metadata i.e. Data about Data.

Classification of SQL Statements :

1.
Data Definition Language Commands
2.
Data Manipulation Language Commands
3.
Transaction Control Language Commands
4.
Session Control Commands
5.
System Control Commands
DDL Commands :
It allows us to perform tasked related to data definition. Through these commands user can perform
tasks like :
i.
Create, alter and drop schema objects :
CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, CREATE INDEX, ALTER
INDEX, DROP INDEX, RENAME, TRUNCATE, etc.
ii.
Grant and revoke privileges and roles :
These commands are also known as Data Control
iii.
Analyse, audit or add command :
ANALYSE, AUDIT, NOAUDIT, COMMENT
DML Commands :
It is a language that enables users to access or manipulate data as organized by the appropriate data
model.
The DMLs are basically of two types :
60

1. Procedural DMLs require a user to specify what data is needed and how to get it.
2. Non-procedural DMLs require a user to specify what data is needed without specifying how
to get it.
INSERT INTO, DELETE, SELECT, LOCK TABLE, etc.
TCL Commands :
A transaction is successfully completed if and only if all its constraints steps are successfully
completed. To manage and control the transactions, the transaction control commands are used.
COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT, SET TRANSACTION
Schema Objects :
A schema refers to the collection of logical structures of data.
Eg. Clusters, Database triggers, Indexes, Packages, Stored Functions, Procedures, Tables, Views.
Data Types :
Data Types are means to identify the types of data and associated operations for handling it.
There are various data types in Oracle :
1.

CHAPTER- 13
BOOLEAN ALGEBRA
Boolean algebra
Boolean algebra:- a modern algebra which uses the set of numbers 0 and 1,the logic numbers used to
solved logic problems.
Binary decision:-. The decision which results into yes or no. Also called logical statements or truth
function.
Truth table:- a table representing all possible input-output combinations for a given logical
problem/expression.
Tautology:-a Boolean expression that always results in true or 1.
Fallacy:-a Boolean expression that always results in false or 0.
Cononical expression :- a Boolean expression having all minterms or maxterms.
Minterm:-product of all the literals(with or without the bar) within the logic system.
Maxterm:-sum of all the literals(with or without the bar) within the logic system.
Karnaugh Map:- it is a graphical representation of the truth table of the given expression.

Logic Gates
Logic gates serve as the building blocks to digital logic circuits using combinational logic. We're
going to consider the following gates: NOT gates (also called inverters), AND gates, OR gates,
NAND gates, NOR gates, XOR gates, and XNOR gates.
We'll also discuss the concept of gate deltay.

NOT gates
NOT gates or inverters have a single bit input and a single bit of output.
This is a diagram of a NOT gate. It is a triangle with a circle on the right. The circle indicates
"negation".

The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.

x

where x is the input and z is the output.

AND2 gates
AND2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output. The subscript, 2, indicates how many
inputs this AND gate has. For example, AND3 gates have 3 inputs.
The output of AND2 gate is 1 only if both inputs are 1. Otherwise, the output is 0.

The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.

68

x1

x0

The function implmented by AND2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x * y == y * x. This can be verified by using truth tables.
We use * to represent AND2.
The function is associative. Thus, (x * y) * z == x * (y * z). This can be verified by using
truth tables.
Because of these properties, it's easy to define ANDn, which is an n-input AND gate.

ANDn(x1, x2,...,xn) = x1 * x2 * ... * xn

That is, an AND gate with n-inputs is the AND of all the bits. This is not ambiguous because the
AND function is associative (all parenthesization of this expression are equivalent).

OR2 gates
OR2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output. The subscript, 2, indicates how many
inputs this OR gate has. For example, OR3 gates have 3 inputs.
The output of OR2 gate is 0 only if both inputs are 0. Otherwise, the output is 1.

The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.

x1

x0

The function implemented by OR2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x + y == y + x. This can be verified by using truth tables.
We use "+" to represent OR2
The function is associative. Thus, (x + y) + z == x + (y + z). This can be verified by using
truth tables.
Because of these properties, it's easy to define ORn, which is an n-input OR gate.

ORn(x1, x2,...,xn) = x1 + x2 + ... + xn

That is, an AND gate with n-inputs is the AND of all the bits. This is not ambiguous because the
AND function is associative (all parenthesization of this expression are equivalent).
69

NAND2 gates
NAND2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output. The subscript, 2, indicates how many
inputs this NAND gate has. For example, NAND3 gates have 3 inputs.
NANDk gates is define unusually. Since NAND2 is not associative, the definition is based on AND2.
In particular

NANDk(x1, x2,...,xn) = NOT( ANDk(x1, x2,...,xn) )

Thus, NANDk is the negation of ANDk.

The truth table defines the behavior of this gate. It's the negation of AND2.
x1

x0

The function implemented by NAND2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x NAND y == y NAND x. This can be verified by using
truth tables.
The function is not associative. This can be verified by using truth tables.
Because of these properties, NANDk is defined from ANDk, and not built from NAND2 gates.

NOR2 gates
OR2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output. The subscript, 2, indicates how many
inputs this OR gate has. For example, NOR3 gates have 3 inputs.
The output of NOR2 gate is the negation of OR2.

The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.

The function implmented by NOR2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x NOR y == y NOR x. This can be verified by using truth

tables.
The function is not associative. This can be verified by using truth tables.
Because of these properties, NORk is defined from ORk, and not built from NOR2 gates.

XOR2 gates
XOR2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output.
The output of XOR2 gate is 1 only if the inputs have opposite values. That is, when one input has
value 0, and the other has value 1.. Otherwise, the output is 0.
This is called exclusive-or. The definition of OR2 is inclusive-or, where the output is 1 if either input
is 1, or if both inputs are 1.
XOR2 can be defined using AND2, OR2, and NOT.

x XOR y == ( x AND (NOT y) ) OR ( (NOT x) AND y ) == x\y +

y\x
Here's a diagram of the XOR2 gate.

If you look carefully at the drawing of the gate, there is a second arc behind the first one near the
inputs. Since this second arc is hard to see, it's usually a good idea to write the word "XOR" inside
the gate.
The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.
x1

x0

The function implmented by XOR2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x (+) y == y (+) x. This can be verified by using truth
tables. (We use (+) to denote logical XOR--ideally, we'd draw it with a + sign inside a circle,
but HTML doesn't seem to have a symbol for this).
The function is associative. Thus, [ x (+) y ] (+) z == x (+) [ y (+) z ]. This can be verified by
using truth tables.
Because of these properties, it's easy to define XORn, which is an n-input XOR gate.

XORn(x1, x2,...,xn) = x1 (+) x2 (+) ... (+) xn

That is, an XOR gate with n-inputs is the XOR of all the bits. This is not ambiguous because the
XOR function is associative (all parenthesization of this expression are equivalent).

XNOR2 gates
XNOR2 gates have two bits of input and a single bit of output.
The output of XNOR2 gate is the negation of XOR2 and has 1 when both inputs are the same.

71

If you look carefully at the drawing of the gate, there is a second arc behind the first one near the
inputs. Since this second arc is hard to see, it's usually a good idea to write the word "XNOR" inside
the gate.
The truth table defines the behavior of this gate.
x1

x0

The function implmented by XNOR2 gates has interesting properties:

The function is symmetric. Thus, x XNOR y == y XNOR x. This can be verified by using
truth tables.
The function is associative. Thus, (x XNOR y) XNOR z == x XNOR (y XNOR z). This can
be verified by using truth tables.
Because of these properties, it's easy to define XNORn, which is an n-input XNOR gate.

XNORn(x1, x2,...,xn) = x1 XNOR x2 XNOR ... XNOR xn

That is, an XNOR gate with n-inputs is the XNOR of all the bits. This is not ambiguous because the
XNOR function is associative (all parenthesization of this expression are equivalent).
(Error-checkers! You may wish to verify this, and email me if this is incorrect!).

Key Points

A network is a collection of interlinked computers by means of a communication system.

Switching techniques are used for transmitting data across networks.
A network can have any of these transmission media or connecting media: twisted pair cable,
coaxial cable, optical fibre, microwave , radio wave , satellite etc.
The pattern of interconnection of nodes in a network is called topology.
Most popular topologies are star , bus , ring , graph and mesh, tree
RJ 45 (Registered Jack 45) is a eight wire connector, which is commonly used to connect
computers on LANs especially Ethernets.
Protocol:- A protocol means the rules that are applicable for a network. Protocol defines
standardized formats for data packets, techniques for detecting and correcting errors and so
on.
Some most common protocols are HTTP ,FTP, TCP/IP
Wireless communication is simply data communications without the use of landlines.
TDMA:-Time Division Multiple Access technology divides a radio frequency into time slots
and then allocates allots to multiple calls.
CDMA:-Code division Multiple access uses a spread spectrum technique where data is sent
in small pieces over a number of discrete frequencies available for use. Each users signal is
spread over the entire bandwidth by unique spreading code. At the receivers end, the same
unique code is used to recover the signal.
SMS is the transmission of short text message to and from a mobile phone, fax machine
and/or IP address.
Email (Electronic Mail) is sending and receiving message by computer.
A web Browser is a WWW client that navigates through the World Wide Web and displays
web pages .A web server is a WWW server that responds to the request made by web
browser.
A URL(Uniform Resource Locator) specifies the distinct address for each resource on the
internet. An Internet address, which is character, based is called domain name.

What is the difference between Message Switching technique and Packet Switching
technique?
Message Switching:-It is better known as store and forward. In this mechanism a node on
receiving a message, stores it till the appropriate route is not free, then forwards it on the
route when the route is free.
Packet Switching:-It is best for data. In a packet switched network, data are transmitted in
discrete units called packets. A packet is a fixed length block of data for transmission. The
maximum length of the packet is established by the network. Longer transmissions are
broken up into multiple packets. The packets have headers with priority codes and source and
destination addresses along with data to be sent. The packets are sent over the network node
to node, kept there for a small time and then routed according to the information in its header
