CHAPTER 12 FUNCTIONS
One mark questions
1. What is standard library function? (U)

ANS: A standard library is a collection of pre-defined functions which are accessed through

header files.
2. What is a function? (U)

ANS: A function is a named group of statements developed to solve a sub-problem and returns

a value to other functions when it is called.


3. Why is C++ standard library required? (K)

ANS: The C++ standard library provides a large number of library functions (under different

header files) for performing common tasks.


4. What are the different types of functions? (U)

ANS: 1. Library functions


2. User-defined functions
5.Give an example of header file? (U)

ANS: iostream.h
6.Write any one library function of iomanip.h (A)

ANS: endl, setw, setfile, setprecision, hex, oct etc

7.Define character array. (U)


ANS: A character array is a sequence of characters under single name.
8. Write the syntax to declare a string. (U)

ANS: char string_name[size];


9. Write any one library function of file string.h (A)

ANS: strlen(s), strcpy(s1, s2), strcat(s1, s2), strrev(s) …


10. Write the syntax of getline() function. (U)
ANS: cin.getline (string, size);
11. Write any one function of the header file ctype.h (K)
ANS: isalpha(c), isdigit(c), isalnum(c) , islower(c) …
12. Write one function of the header file math.h (K)
ANS: sqrt(x) , pow(x, y) , sin(x) , cos(x) …
13. Give the syntax of get() function. (U)
ANS: cin =get(ch); OR ch=cin.get(ch);

14. Give the syntax of put() function. (U)


ANS: cout.put (ch);
15. Why do we use pow() function? (S)
ANS: To find the power of a number
16. Define user-defined function. (K)
ANS: A user-defined function is a complete and independent program, which can be used (or

invoked) by the main program, or by the other sub-programs.


17. Name any one function to generate pseudo-random number. (S)
ANS: random(n);
18. Name the header file to be included, to use the functions for generation of random numbers.
ANS: stdlib.h
Two mark questions:
1. How do we display a string using write() function? (A)
ANS: Syntax: cout.write (string, size);
Example: cout.write (st, 25);
2. What is string concatenation? What function is used to achieve this operation? (A)
ANS: The process of combining two strings to form a string is called as concatenation.

The general form is strcat(string1, string2);


Example:- char str1[ ]=”win”;
char str2[ ]=”dows8”;
strcat(str1,str2);
Output: str1 becomes “windows8”.
3. Distinguish between islower() and tolower() functions. (A)
ANS: islower(c) - It returns True if c is a lowercase letter otherwise False
tolower(c) - It converts c to lowercase letter
4. Distinguish between strcmp() and strcmpi() functions. (A)
ANS: This function is used to alphabetically compare a string with another string. This
function is case-sensitive. i.e., it treats the uppercase letters and lowercase letters as different.
The general form is : strcmp (string1, string2);
This function is used to alphabetically compare a string with another string. This function is
not case-sensitive. i.e., it treats the uppercase letter and lowercase letter as same.
The general form is: strcmpi (string1,string2);

5. Write the difference between toupper() and isupper(). (A)


ANS: isupper(c) - It returns True if character is a uppercase letter otherwise False

toupper(c) - It converts character to uppercase letter


6. What are the different types of values strcmp() function return? (A)
ANS:
strcmp((s1,s2)==0)
strcmp((s1,s2)>0)
strcmp((s1,s2)<0)
It compares s1 and s2 and find out whether s1 equal s2, greater than s2 or s1 less than s2.
