2.2 True/False Questions

1) True/False: When typing in your source code into the computer, you must be very careful since most
of your C++ instructions, header files, and variable names are case sensitive.
Answer: TRUE

2) True/False: A preprocessor directive does not require a semicolon at the end.

Answer: TRUE

3) True/False: The C++ language requires that you give variables names that indicate what the variables
are used for.
Answer: FALSE

4) True/False: A variable called "average" should be declared as an integer data type because it will
probably hold data that contains decimal places.
Answer: FALSE

5) True/False: Escape sequences are always stored internally as a single character.

Answer: TRUE

6) True/False: Floating point constants are normally stored in memory as doubles.

Answer: TRUE

7) True/False: C++ does not have a built in data type for storing strings of characters.
Answer: TRUE

8) True/False: If you do not follow a consistent programming style, your programs will generate
compiler errors.
Answer: FALSE

9) True/False: When writing long integer literals or long long integer literals in C++ 11, you can use either
an uppercase or lowercase L.
Answer: TRUE

10) True/False: C++ 11 introduces an alternative way to define variables, using the template key word
and an initialization value.
Answer: FALSE
