#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

int a;

a = 5 + 3 * 5;

cout << a;

return 0;

int a = 5, b = 6, c, d;

c = a, b;

d = (a, b);

cout << c << ' ' << d;

return 0;

Answer: 5 6
Explanation: It is a separator here. In C, the value a is stored in c and in d the value b is
stored in d because of the bracket.
Output:

$ g++ op3.cpp

$ a.out

5 6
60. What is the output of this program?

using namespace std;

int main()

int i, j;

j = 10;

i = (j++, j + 100, 999 + j);

cout << i;

return 0;

Answer: 1010
Explanation: j starts with the value 10. j is then incremented to 11. Next, j is added to
100. Finally, j (still containing 11) is added to 999 which yields the result 1010.
Output:

using first::x;
 using second::y;

bool a, b;

a = x > y;

b = first::y < second::x;

cout << a << b;

return 0;

Answer: 10
Explanation: We are inter mixing the variable and comparing it which is bigger and
smaller and according to that we are printing the output.
Output:

$ g++ name1.cpp

$ a.out

10

107. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

namespace Box1

int a = 4;

namespace Box2

int a = 13;
 }

int main ()

int a = 16;

Box1::a;

Box2::a;

cout << a;

return 0;

Answer: 16
Explanation: In this program, as there is lot of variable a and it is printing the value
inside the block because it got the highest priority.
Output:

$ g++ name2.cpp

$ a.out

16

108. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std

namespace space

int x = 10;

namespace space
 {

int y = 15;

int main(int argc, char * argv[])

space::x = space::y =5;

cout << space::x << space::y;

Answer: 55
Explanation: We are overriding the value at the main function and so we are getting the
output as 55.
Output:

$ g++ name4.cpp

$ a.out

109. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

namespace extra

int i;

void i()

{
 using namespace extra;

int i;

i = 9;

cout << i;

int main()

enum letter { i, j};

class i { letter j; };

::i();

return 0;

Answer: 9
Explanation: A scope resolution operator without a scope qualifier refers to the global
namespace.

110. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

int age = 0;

try

if (age < 0)
 {

throw "Positive Number Required";

cout << age;

catch(const char *Message)

cout << "Error: " << Message;

return 0;

Answer: 0
Explanation: As the zero marks the beginning of the positive number, it is printed as
output
Output:

$ g++ excep.cpp

$ a.out

111. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void PrintSequence(int StopNum)

int Num;
 Num = 1;

while (true)

if (Num >= StopNum)

throw Num;

cout << Num;

Num++;

int main(void)

try

PrintSequence(20);

catch(int ExNum)

cout << "Caught an exception with value: " << ExNum;

return 0;

Answer: prints first 19 numbers and throws exception at 20

Explanation: In this program, we are printing upto 19 numbers and when executing the
20, we are raising a exception.
Output:
 $ g++ excep1.cpp

$ a.out

12345678910111213141516171819Caught an exception with value: 20

112. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

double division(int a, int b)

if (b == 0)

throw "Division by zero condition!";

return (a / b);

int main ()

int x = 50;

int y = 2;

double z = 0;

try

z = division(x, y);

cout << z;
 }

catch(const char *msg)

cerr << msg;

return 0;

Answer: 35
Explanation: In this program, we resembling the division by using the exception
handling.
Output:

$ g++ excep2.cpp

$ a.out

25

113. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

char* buff;

try

buff = new char[1024];

if (buff == 0)
 throw "Memory allocation failure!";

else

cout << sizeof(buff) << "Byte successfully allocated!"<<endl;

catch(char *strg)

cout<<"Exception raised: "<<strg<<endl;

return 0;

Answer: Depends on the size of the data type

Explanation: As we are allocating the memory to the variables and if there are not
sufficient size means, it will throw an exception.
Output:

$ g++ excep3.cpp

$ a.out

4 Bytes allocated successfully

8. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void Funct();

int main()

try

{
 Funct();

catch(double)

cerr << "caught a double type..." << endl;

return 0;

void Funct()

throw 3;

Answer: abnormal program termination

Explanation: As we are throwing integer to double it will raise as abnormal program
after termination throw statement.
Output:

$ g++ excep4.cpp

$ a.out

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'

Aborted

114. What is the output of this program?

#include <iostream>

#include <exception>

using namespace std;

 int main()

try

int * array1 = new int[100000000];

int * array2 = new int[100000000];

int * array3 = new int[100000000];

int * array4 = new int[100000000];

cout << "Allocated successfully";

catch(bad_alloc&)

cout << "Error allocating the requested memory." << endl;

return 0;

Answer: Depends on the memory of the computer

Explanation: In this program, we allocating the memory to the arrays by using exception
handling and we handled the exception by standard exception.
Output:

$ g++ excep5.cpp

$ a.out

Allocated successfully
