Part I:
Q.1 Indicate whether each of the following statements is True or False:
1
 Statement TRUE/FALSE

The following is a legal C++ identifier: _x1 T 1.

Suppose x = 8. After the execution of the statement y = x++; 2.

F
y is 9 and x is 9.

Consider the following statements. 3.

int score;
string grade;
cin >> score; F

grade = (score > 60 ? "pass" : "fail");

If score is equal to 60, the value of grade is "pass".

The expression in the following if statement evaluates to 4.
true only if the value of month is 1.
F
if (month = 1)
monthName = “January”;

Q.2 Circle the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers
the question.
1.

1. Suppose that x and y are int variables, z is a double variable, and the input is:
28 32.6 12
Choose the values of x, y, and z after the following statement executes:
cin >> x >> y >> z;
▊. x = 28, y = 32, z = 0.6
b. x = 28, y = 32, z = 12.0
c. x = 28, y = 12, z = 32.6
d. x = 28, y = 12, z = 0.6

2. Suppose that x = 55.68, y = 476.859, and z = 23.8216. What is the output of the
following statements?
cout << fixed << showpoint;
cout << setprecision(3);
cout << x << ' ' << y << ' ' << setprecision(2) << z << endl;

▊. 55.680 476.859 23.82 c. 55.680 476.860 23.82

b. 55.690 476.860 23.82 d. 55.680 476.859 23.821

3. Which of the following operators has the lowest precedence?

c &&
a. !
.
▊. || d. ==
2
 4. When one control statement is located within another, it is said to be ____.
a. blocked ▊. nested
b
compound d. closed
.

5. What is the output of the following code?

if (6 >= 60)
cout << "Line 1 ";
cout << "Line 2 ";
cout << "Line 3";

a. Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 ▊. Line 2 Line 3.

b Line 3
d. Error
.

6. What is the output of the following C++ code?

int x = 2;
int y = 10;

switch (x)
{
case 0: y = 0;
case 1: y = 1;
case 2: y = x;
case 3: y = y + 3;
case 4: y = y + 4
break;
dafault: y = 10;
}
cout << y << endl;

a. 2 ▊. 9
b. 5 d. 10

Q.1 Park Meter: Write a program that prompts for the time in seconds, converts
the seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds then calculates the parking fee
based on the following scheme:

Every second cost 0.001 and every minute cost 0.03.

If the hours is less than 3 the every hour cost 2.2 otherwise every hour cost 2.

Sample input / output:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
int totalSeconds, seconds, minutes, hours;
float cost;

cout << "Enter the total number of seconds: ";

cin >> totalSeconds;

hours = totalSeconds / 3600;

totalSeconds = totalSeconds % 3600;
minutes = totalSeconds / 60;
seconds = totalSeconds % 60;

if(hours < 3)
cost = 0.001*seconds + 0.03*minutes + 2.2*hours;
else
cost = 0.001*seconds + 0.03*minutes + 2*hours;

cout << "The total cost is: " << cost << endl;

return 0;
}

Q.2 Evaluate the Series: Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive
integer n. The program evaluates and prints the following series:

1 2 3 N −1
1+ + + +⋯+
2 3 4 N

Sample input / output:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
int N, i;
float sum=0;

cout << "Enter how mant terms: ";

cin >> N;

cout << "\nThe sum of the series:\n\n1";

for(i=1; i<N; i++)
{
sum = sum + static_cast<float>(i)/(i+1);
cout << " + " << i << "/" << i+1;
}

cout << "\n\nwith " << N << " terms is: " << sum << endl;

return 0;
}

Q.3 Parity Check: Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive
integer. The program adds at the end of the integer a parity digit such that
the digits sum of the new integer is a multiple of 3. For example if the
integer is 2705 (two thousand, seven hundred, and five) the digits sum is
2+7+0+5 = 14 and for the digits sum to be a multiple of 3 we need to add 1
at the end of the integer to make it 12705 (twelve thousand, seven hundred,
and five).

Sample input / output:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
int N, num, k=0, digit, sum=0, final, extra;

cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";

cin >> N;
num = N;

while(num > 0)
{
digit = num%10;
num = num/10;
sum = sum + digit;
k++;
}

extra = 3 - sum%3;
final = extra*pow(10, k) + N;

cout << "The new form of " << N << " is " << final << endl;

return 0;
}
