2. What is decomposition [M-2020]
 Decomposition breaks down a problem into smaller sub problems and combine their solutions to solve the original problem.
1. What is case analysis? [M-2022]
 Case analysis statement generalizes it to multiple cases.
 Case analysis splits the problem into an exhaustive set of disjoint cases.
 For each case, the problem is solved independently.
Example:
If C1, C2 and C3 are conditions, and S1,S2,S3 and S4 are statements, a 4-case analysis statement has the form.
1. case C1
2. S1
3. case C2
4. S2
5. case C3
6. S3
7. else
8. S4

arrows showing the order in which the boxes are to be executed.
Disadvantages:
 Flowcharts are less compact than representation of algorithms in programming language or pseudo code.
 They obscure the basic hierarchical structure of the algorithms.
 Alternative statements and loops are disciplined control flow structures.
 Flowcharts do not restrict us to disciplined control flow structures.
3. Define flow chart, pseudo code and a programming language [J-2019]

 Therefore, the executable statements should be inside the main ( ) function.
3. Write a note on logical operators in C++ (S-2020) (AUG-2022)
 A logical operator is used to evaluate logical and relational expressions.
 The logical operators act upon the operands that are themselves called as logical expressions.
 C++ provides three logical operators.
Operator Operation Description
&& AND The logical AND combines two different relational expressions in to one. It returns 1
(True), if both expression are true, otherwise it returns 0 (false).
|| OR The logical OR combines two different relational expressions in to one. It returns 1
(True), if either one of the expression is true. It returns 0 (false), if both the
expressions are false.
! NOT NOT works on a single expression / operand. It simply negates or inverts the truth
value. i.e., if an operand / expression is 1 (true) then this operator returns 0 (false)
and vice versa
4. What are keywords? Can keywords be used as identifiers? [M-2022]

 Difficult to maintain and enhance the program code as any change in data type needs to be propagated to all
subroutines that use the same data type.
 This is time consuming. Example: FORTRAN and COBOL.
2. List some of the features of modular programming. [J-2019, S-2020]
 Emphasis on algorithm rather than data
 Programs are divided into individual modules
 Each modules are independent of each other and have their own local data

Example: Pascal and C
3. Define Encapsulation [M-2019]
 The mechanism by which the data and functions are bound together into a single unit is known as
Encapsulation. It implements abstraction.
1. What are the ways to define member function of a class? Give example. [J-2019]
 The member functions of a class can be defined in two ways. 1.Inside 2.Outside class definition
Inside the class definition:
 When a member function is defined inside a class, it behaves like inline functions. These are called Inline
member functions.
Outside the class definition:
 When Member function defined outside the class just like normal function definition then it is be called as
outline member function or non-inline member function. Ex: void add :: display()

2. What is operator overloading? Give some example of operators which can not be overloaded. [J-2019]
Operator over loading:
 The term operator overloading, refers to giving additional functionality to the normal C++ operators like +,++,-
,—,+=,-=,*.<,>.
 It is also a type of polymorphism in which an operator is overloaded to give user defined meaning to it.
Example:
1.Scope operator (::) 2.Sizeof 3.Member selector (.) 4.Member pointer selector (✳) 5.Ternary operator (?:)
1. What are the points to be noted while deriving a new class? [M-2019, M-2024]

 The name of the derived class is to be given after the keyword class.
 A single colon (:)
 The type of derivation (the visibility mode), namely private, public or protected.
 The names of the base classes (parent class).
2. What do you mean by overriding? [J-2023]
 When a derived class member function has the same name as that of its base class member function, the
derived class member function shadows/hides the base class’s inherited function.
 This situation is called function overriding and this can be resolved by giving the base class name followed by
:: and the member function name.
3. Write about three visibility mode [M-2020]
 When a base class is inherited with private visibility mode the public and protected members of the base class
become ‘private’ members of the derived class.
 When a base class is inherited with protected visibility mode the protected and public members of the base
class become ‘protected’ members of the derived class
 When a base class is inherited with public visibility mode, the protected members of the base class will be
inherited as protected members of the derived class.
4. Consider the following c ++ code and answer the questions [S-2020]

1. a) Write the procedure to convert fractional Decimal to Binary [M-2023]
 The method of repeated multiplication by 2 has to be used to convert such kind of decimal fractions.
The steps involved in the method of repeated multiplication by 2:
 Step 1: Multiply the decimal fraction by 2 and note the integer part.
o The integer part is either 0 or 1.
 Step 2: Discard the integer part of the previous product.
o Multiply the fractional part of the previous product by 2.
o Repeat Step 1 until the same fraction repeats or terminates (0).

4. Explain 1’s complement representation with an example (AUG-2022)
1’s Complement representation:
 This is an easier approach to represent signed numbers.
 This is for negative numbers only i.e. the number whose MSB is 1.
The steps to be followed to find 1’s complement of a number:
Step 1: Convert given Decimal number into Binary
Step 2: Check if the binary number contains 8 bits , if less add 0 at the left most bit, to make it as 8 bits.
Step 3: Invert all bits (i.e. Change 1 as 0 and 0 as 1)
Example:
(-24)

CHAPTER -2 (PART - 2) BOOLEAN ALGEBRA
1. Explain the fundamental gates with expression and truth table. [J-2024]
 A gate is a basic electronic circuit which operates on one or more signals to produce an output signal.
 There are three fundamental gates namely AND, OR and NOT.
1.AND Gate:
 The AND gate can have two or more input signals and produce an output signal.
 The output is "true" only when both inputs are "true", otherwise, the output is "false".
 The output of the AND gate is represented by C, where A and B are two Boolean variables
 A variable can take either of the values '0' or
'1'. AND gate C = AND B
26
[[email protected]]
AND Operation: C = A.B or C = AB
Example: C = A.B
= 0.0
=0
Symbol & Truth table for AND Gate:
www.kalvikadal.in
2. OR Gate:
 The OR gate gets its name from its behaviour like the logical inclusive "OR".
 The output is "true"”/1” if either or both of the inputs are "true"/”1”.
 If both inputs are "false"/”0” then the output is "false” /”0”.
OR gate C = A OR B
OR Operation: C = A+B
Example: C = A+B
= 1+1
=1
3. NOT Gate:
 The NOT gate, called a logical inverter, has only one input.
 It reverses the logical state.
 In other words the output C is always the complement of the input.
NOT gate C = NOT A
NOT Operation: C = A
Example: if A is 0, C = 0 =1 ; On the other hand, if A is 1, C= 1 = 0

1. Explain the characteristics of a microprocessor. [J-2019, AUG-2022, J-2023]
 A Microprocessor’s performance depends on the following characteristics:
a) Clock speed b) Instruction set c) Word size
a) Clock Speed:
 Every microprocessor has an internal clock that regulates the speed at which it executes instructions.
 The speed at which the microprocessor executes instructions is called the clock speed.
 Clock speed is measured in MHz (Mega Hertz) or in GHz (Giga Hertz).
b) Instruction Set:
 A command which is given to a computer to perform an operation on data is called an instruction.
 Basic set of machine level instructions that a microprocessor is designed to execute is called as an instruction set.
 This instruction set carries out the following types of operations:
1.Data transfer, 2.Arithmetic operations, 3.Logical operations, 4.Control flow , 5.Input/output
c) Word Size:
 The number of bits that can be processed by a processor in a single instruction is called its word size.
 Word size determines the amount of RAM that can be accessed by a microprocessor.
2. Arrange the memory devices in ascending order based on the access time. [M-2023]
27
[[email protected]]
Cache Memory :
 The cache memory is a very high speed and expensive memory, which is used to speed up the memory
retrieval process.
 Due to its higher cost, the CPU comes with a smaller size of cache memory compared with the size of the main memory.
Random-Access Memory (RAM):
 The main memory is otherwise called as Random Access Memory.
 It is the place in a computer where the Operating System, Application Programs and the data in current use are
kept temporarily so that they can be accessed by the computer’s processor.
 The smallest unit of information that can be stored in the memory is called as a bit.
www.kalvikadal.in
 RAM is a volatile memory
Hard Disk :
 Hard disk is a magnetic disk on which you can store data.
 The hard disk has the stacked arrangement of disks accessed by a pair of heads for each of the disks.
 The hard disks come with a single or double sided disk.
3. Explain the types of ROM. [M-2022, M-2024, J-2024]
Read only memory(ROM)
 Read only memory refers to special memory in a computer with pre-recorded data at manufacturing time
which cannot be modified.
 The stored programs that start the computer and perform diagnostics are available in ROMs.
 ROM stores critical programs such as the program that boots the computer.
 Once the data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be modified or removed and can only be read.
ROM retains its contents even when the computer is turned off.
 So, ROM is called as a non-volatile memory.
1. PROM:
 Programmable read only memory is also a non-volatile memory on which data can be written only once.
 Once a program has been written onto a PROM, it remains there forever.
 Unlike the main memory, PROMs retain their contents even when the computer is turned off.
 The PROM differs from ROM.
 PROM is manufactured as a blank memory, whereas a ROM is programmed during the manufacturing process itself.
 PROM programmer or a PROM burner is used to write data to a PROM chip.
 The process of programming a PROM is called burning the PROM.
2. EPROM:
 Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is a special type of memory which serves as a PROM, but the
content can be erased using ultraviolet rays.
 EPROM retains its contents until it is exposed to ultraviolet light.
 The ultraviolet light clears its contents, making it possible to reprogram the memory.
 An EPROM differs from a PROM, PROM can be written only once and cannot be erased.
 EPROMs are used widely in personal computers because they enable the manufacturer to change the contents
of the PROM to replace with updated versions or erase the contents before the computer is delivered.
3. EEPROM:
 Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge.
 Like other types of PROM, EEPROM retains its contents even when the power is turned off.
 Comparing with all other types of ROM, EEPROM is slower in performance.
1. Explain the concept of a Distributed Operating System along with its advantages. [M-2019, M-2024]
 The Distributed Operating System is used to access shared data and files that reside in any machine around the world using
internet / intranet.
 The user can handle the data from different locations.
 The users can access as if it is available on their own computer.
Advantages :
 A user at one location can make use of all the resources available at another location over the network.
 Many computer resources can be added easily in the network
 Improves the interaction with the customers and clients.
 Reduces the load on the host computer.
2. List out the points to be noted while creating a user interface for an Operating system. [M-2019, J-2024]
 The user interface should enable the user to retain this expertise for a longer time.
 The user interface should also satisfy the customer based on their needs.
 The user interface should save user’s precious time.
 The ultimate aim of any product is to satisfy the customer.
 The User Interface is also to satisfy the customer.
 The user interface should reduce number of errors committed by the user.

3. Explain the process management algorithms in Operating System. [M-2020, M-2023]
 Process management is function that includes creating and deleting processes (program) and providing
mechanisms for processes to communicate and synchronize with each other.
 A system task, such as sending output to a printer or screen, can also be called as a Process.
The following algorithms are mainly used to allocate the job (process) to the processor.
1. FIFO 2. SJF 3. Round Robin 4. Based on Priority
1.FIFO (First In First Out)Scheduling:
 This algorithm is based on queuing technique.
 Technically, the process that enters the queue first is executed first by the CPU, followed by the next and so on.
www.kalvikadal.in
 The processes are executed in the order of the queue (row).
Example:
 Assume that a student is standing in a queue (Row) to get grade sheet from his/her teacher, according to the
order of the queue that is first in first out.
2. SJF (Shortest Job First)Scheduling:
 This algorithm works based on the size of the job being executed by the CPU.
Example: Consider two jobs A and B. 1) A = 6 kilo bytes 2) B = 9 kilo bytes
 First the job “A” will be assigned and then job “B” gets its turn.
3.Round Robin Scheduling :
 The Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm is designed especially for time sharing systems.
 Jobs (processes) are assigned and processor time in a circular method.
Example: Take three jobs A, B, C.
 First the job A is assigned to CPU then job B and job C and then again A, B and C and so on.
4.Based On Priority:
 The given job (process) is assigned based on a Priority.
 The job which has higher priority is more important than other jobs.
Example: Take two jobs A and B. Let the priority of A be 5 and priority B be 7.
 Job B is assigned to the processor before job A.
4. List out the uses of operating system [M-2020, J-2023]
 The main use of Operating System is to ensure that a computer can be used to extract what the user wants it do.
 Easy interaction between the users and computers.
 Starting computer operation automatically when power is turned on (Booting).
 Controlling Input and Output Devices
 Manage the utilisation of main memory.
 Providing security to user programs.

2. Explain the parts of Windows in windows operating System. [S-2022]
www.kalvikadal.in
1. Application Window:
 It is an area on a computer screen with defined boundaries, and within which information is displayed. Such
windows can be resized, maximised, minimised, placed side by side, overlap, and so on.
 An Application Window contains an open application i.e. current application such as Word or Paint.
 When two or more windows are opened, only one of them is active and the rest are inactive.
 The Application Window of Open Office Writer and the appearance of the Multiple Windows opened
(overlapped) in the Desktop.
2. Document Window:
 A document window is a section of the screen used to display the contents of a document.
1. Write the specification of an algorithm for computing the square root of a number [M-2022]
 Let us name the algorithm square_ root
 It takes the number as the input. Let us the name the input n. n should not be negative.
 It produces the square root of n as the output. Let us name the output y.
 Then n should be the square of y.
The specification of the algorithm
is, square_ root(n)
- - inputs: n is a real number, n ≥ 0.
- - outputs : y is a real number such that y2 = n.
1. Trace the step-by-step execution of the algorithm for factorial (4).
Factorial (n) -- inputs : n is an integer , n ≥ 0 -- outputs : f = n! f, i := 1 ,1
while I ≤ n f, I := f × I, i+1 [M-2019]

4 6x4=24 4+1=5 5 ≤ 4 True
2. Explain case analysis with an example [AUG-2022]
 Alternative statement analyses the problem into two cases.
 Case analysis statement generalizes it to multiple cases.
 Case analysis splits the problem into an exhaustive set of disjoint cases.
 For each case, the problem is solved independently.
 If C1, C2, and C3 are conditions, and S1, S2, S3 and S4 are statements, a 4-case analysis statement has the
form, case C1 S1 case C2 S2 case C3 S3 else S4
 The conditions C1, C2, and C3 are evaluated in turn.
 For the first condition that evaluates to true, the corresponding statement is executed, and the case analysis statement ends.
 If none of the conditions evaluates to true, then the default case S4 is executed.
 The cases are exhaustive: at least one of the cases is true.
 If all conditions are false, the default case is true.
 The cases are disjoint: only one of the cases is true.
 Though it is possible for more than one condition to be true, the case analysis always executes only one
case, the first one that is true.
 If the three conditions are disjoint, then the four cases are (1) C1, (2) C2, (3) C3, (4) (not C1) and (not C2) and (not C3).
1. Write about Binary operators used in C++. [M-2023]
 Binary Operators - Require two operands
 C++ Operators are classified as: (1) Arithmetic Operators (2) Relational Operators (3) Logical Operators
 (4) Bitwise Operators (5) Assignment Operators (6) Conditional Operator
30
[[email protected]]
1. Arithmetic Operators:
 Arithmetic operators to perform simple arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc.,
 Support both unary and binary operators.
www.kalvikadal.in
2. Relational Operators:
 Relational operators are used to determine the relationship between its operands.
 When the relational operators are applied on two operands, the result will be a Boolean value i.e 1 or 0 to
represents True or False respectively.
3. Logical Operators:
 A logical operator is used to evaluate logical and relational expressions.
 The logical operators act upon the operands that are themselves called as logical expressions.
 AND,OR both are binary operators and NOT is a unary operators.
4. Bitwise Operators:
 Bitwise operators work on each bit of data and perform bit-by-bit operation.
 3 kinds of 1.Logical bitwise 2.Bitwise shift 3.One’s complement
5. Assignment Operator:
 = (equal) is the assignment operator is used to assign a value on the right hand side to a variable on the left hand side.
 It is also a binary operator.
Operator Name of Operator Example
+= Addition Assignment a = 10; c = a += 5; c = 15
- = Subtraction Assignment a = 10; c = a -= 5; c=5
*= Multiplication Assignment a = 10; c = a *= 5; c = 50
/= Division Assignment a = 10; c = a /= 5; c = 2
%= Modulus Assignment a = 10; c = a %= 5; c = 0
6. Conditional Operator:
 ?: is a conditional Operator which is also known as Ternary operator
 This operator is used as an alternate to if … else control statement.
2. What are the types of Errors? [J-2019, M-2020, M-2022]
1. Syntax Error:
 Syntax is a set of grammatical rules to construct a program.
 Every programming language has unique rules for constructing the source code.
 Syntax errors occur when grammatical rules of C++ are violated.
Example: if you type as follows, C++ will throw an error.
cout << “Welcome to Programming in C++”
2. Semantic Error:
 A Program has not produced expected result even though the program is grammatically correct.
 It may be happened by wrong use of variable / operator / order of execution etc.
31
[[email protected]]
 This means, program is grammatically correct, but it contains some logical error.
 So, Semantic error is also called as “Logic Error”.
3.Run-time error:
 A run time error occurs during the execution of a program.
 It occurs because of some illegal operation that takes place.
 For example, if a program tries to open a file which does not exist, it results in a run-time error.
3. What are tokens in C++? Explain types of tokens with example [S-2020]
Tokens:
 The smallest individual unit in a program is known as a Token or a Lexical unit.
www.kalvikadal.in
 C++ has the following tokens: Keywords, Identifiers, Literals, Operators, Punctuators
Types of tokens:
1. Keywords:
 They are the essential elements to construct C++ programs.
Ex: True, False, If, Else etc
2. Identifiers:
 Identifiers are the user-defined names given to different parts of the C++ program viz. variables, functions,
arrays, classes etc.,Ex: Num ,
3. Literals (Constants):
 Literals are data items whose values do not change during the execution of a program.
 Therefore Literals are called as Constants.
4.Operators:
 The symbols which are used to do some mathematical or logical operations are called as “Operators”.
 The data items or values that the operators act upon are called as “Operands”.
5. Punctuators:
 Punctuators are symbols, which are used as delimiters, while constructing a C++ program.
 They are also called as “Separators”.
4. Explain use of header file with an example (Aug-2022)
# include <iostream>
 Usually all C++ programs begin with include statements starting with a # (hash / pound).
 The symbol # is a directive for the pre-processor.
 That means, these statements are processed before the compilation process begins.
 #include <iostream> statement tells the compiler’s pre-processor to include the header file “iostream” in the program.
 The header file iostream should included in every C++ program to implement input / output functionalities.
 In simple words, iostream header file contains the definition of its member objects cin and cout.
 If you fail to include iostream in your program, an error message will occur on cin and cout; and we will not be able to get
any input or send any output.
1. Explain control statement with suitable example. [J-2023]
 Control statements are statements that alter the sequence of flow of instructions.
 In a program, statements may be executed sequentially, selectively or iteratively.
 Every programming languages
 Provides statements to support sequence, selection (branching) and iteration.
 If the Statements are executed sequentially, the flow is called as sequential flow.
1. Sequential statement:
 The sequential statement are the statements, that are executed one after another only once from top to bottom.
 These statements do not alter the flow of execution.
 These statements are called as sequential flow statements.
 They are always end with a semicolon (;).
2. Selection statement:
 The selection statement means the statement (s) are executed depends upon a condition.
 If a condition is true, a true block (a set of statements) is executed otherwise a false block is executed.
 This statement is also called decision statement or selection statement.
Example : 1.if 2.elseif 3.nested if 4.Else if ladder 5.Switch case
3.Iteration Statement:
 Iteration Statement (looping) is use to execute a set of statements repeatedly until a condition is satisfied.
 If a condition evaluates to true, the set of statements (true block) is executed again and again.
 This is also known as looping statement or iteration statement.
 As soon as the condition becomes false, the repetition stops.
 This is also known as looping statement or iteration statement.
 The set of statements that are executed again and again is called the body of the loop.
 The condition on which the execution or exit from the loop is called exit-condition or test-condition.
Example: 1.while 2.do-while 3. For
32
[[email protected]]
2. What is an entry control loop? Explain any one of the entry controlled loop with suitable example.
Entry control loop: (for loop) [J-2019, M-2020, S-2020, J-2024]
 The for loop is a entry- controlled loop.
 It is the easiest looping statement which allows code to be executed repeatedly.
 It contains three different statements (initialization, condition or test-expression and update expression(s))
separated by semicolons.
Syntax :
for (initialization(s); test-expression; update expression(s))
{
www.kalvikadal.in
Statement 1;
Statement 2
………….
}
Statement-x;
Working of for loop:
 The initialization part is used to initialize variables or declare variable which are executed only once, then the
control passes to test-expression.
 After evaluation of test-expression, if the result is false, the control transferred to statement-x. If the result is
true, the body of the for loop is executed, next the control is transferred to update expression.
 After evaluation of update expression part, the control is transferred to the test-expression part. Next the steps
3 to 5 is repeated.
 The workflow of for loop and flow chart are shown below.
Flow chart :
Example : Output:
#include <iostream> value of I : 0
using namespace std; value of I : 1
int main () value of I : 2
{ value of I : 3
int I; value of I : 4
for(I = 0; i< 5; I ++ )
cout<< “value of I : “ <<i<<endl;
return 0;
}
3. Write a program to find sum of the series. S = 1 + x + x2 +......+ xn [S-2020]
using namespace std; Enter N value 4
int main() Enter x value...2
{ SUM =31
int sum=1,x,i,t,n; cout<<”\
nEnter N value”; cin>>x;
cout<<”Enter x value…”;
cin>>n;
t=x;
for(i=1;i<=n; i++)
{
sum= sum+sum+t;
33
[[email protected]]
t=t*x;
}
cout<<”SUM=”<<sum;
}
4. Explain if else statement with example [Aug-2022]
If else:
 If else execute a set of statement is a condition evaluates to true.
 What if there is another course of action to be followed if the condition evaluates to false.
 There is another form of if that allows for this kind of either or condition by providing an else clause.
www.kalvikadal.in
syntax
if ( expression)
{
True-block;
}
Else
{
False-block;
}
Statement-x
 In if-else statement, first the expression or condition is evaluated to either true of false.
 If the result is true, then the statements inside true-block is executed and false-block is skipped.
 If the result is false, then the statement inside the false-block is executed i.e., the true-block is skipped.
Example:
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
int num, rem;
cout<< "\n Enter a number: ";
cin>>num;
rem = num % 2;
if (rem==0)
cout<< "\n The given number"
<<num<< " is Even";
else
cout<< "\n The given number
"<<num<< " is Odd"; return 0;
}
5. What are the key differences between if… else and switch statements in C++? [M-2020, M-2024]
If-else Switch
 Expression inside if statement decide whether  Expression inside switch statement decide
to execute the if block or under else block. which case to execute.
 An if-else statement uses multiple statements for  Switch statement uses single expression
multiple choices for multiple choices.
 If-else statement checks for equality as well as  Switch checks only for equality.
for logical expression.
 The if statement evaluates integer, character,  Switch statement evaluates only character or a
pointer or floating-point type or Boolean type. integer data type.
 If the condition is false the else block statements  If the condition is false then the default statements
will be executed are executed.
6. Explain multi way branch statement (Switch) with a suitable example [M-2022]
 The switch statement is a multi-way branch statement.
 It provides an easy way to dispatch execution to different parts of code based on the value of the expression.
 The switch statement replaces multiple if-else sequence.
Syntax: Example:
switch(expression) #include<iostream>
{ using namespace std;
case constant 1: int main()
statement(s); { int num;
break; cout << “\n Enter week day number: “;
case constant 2: cin >> num;
statement(s); switch (num)
break; . . . . {
34
[[email protected]]
default: case 1 : cout << “\n Sunday”; break;
statement(s); case 2 : cout << “\n Monday”; break;
} case 3 : cout << “\n Tuesday”; break;
default: cout << “\n Wrong input….”; break; } }
7. Explain parts of a loop [M-2022]
Parts of a loop:
 Every loop has four elements that are used for different purposes.
 These elements are Initialization expression, Test expression, Update expression, The body of the loop
5. Initialization expression(s):
www.kalvikadal.in
 The control variable(s) must be initialized before the control enters into loop.
 The initialization of the control variable takes place under the initialization expressions.
 The initialization expression is executed only once in the beginning of the loop.
2. Test Expression:
 The test expression is an expression or condition whose value decides whether the loop-body will be execute or not.
 If the expression evaluates to true (i.e., 1), the body of the loop gets executed, otherwise the loop is terminated.
 In an entry-controlled loop, the test-expression is evaluated before the entering into a loop whereas in an exit-
controlled loop, the test-expression is evaluated before exit from the loop.
3. Update expression:
 It is used to change the value of the loop variable.
 This statement is executed at the end of the loop after the body of the loop is executed.
4. The body of the loop:
 A statement or set of statements forms a body of the loop that are executed repetitively.
 In an entry-controlled loop, first the test-expression is evaluated and if it is nonzero, the body of the loop is
executed otherwise the loop is terminated.
 In an exit-controlled loop, the body of the loop is executed first then the test-expression is evaluated.
 If the test-expression is true the body of the loop is repeated otherwise loop is terminated.

1. Explain Call by value method with suitable example. [M-2019, M-2020, S-2020, AUG-2022, M-2023]
 Call by value method copies the value of an actual parameter into the formal parameter of the function.
 In this case, changes made to formal parameter within the function will have no effect on the actual parameter.
Example Program: Output
#include<iostream> Enter the Value for A : 5
using namespace std; The Value inside display function (a * a) : 25
void display(int x) The Value inside main function: 5
{
x=x*x;
cout<<"\n\nThe Value inside display function (x*x):"<<x;
}
int main()
{
int a;
cout<<”\nExample : Function call by value:”;
cout<<"\n\nEnter the Value for A :";
cin>>a;

2. What is Recursion? Write a program to find GCD using recursion. [M-2020]
 A function that calls itself is known as recursive function.
 And, this technique is known as recursion.
Example Program: Output
#include <iostream> Enter a number to find its factorial: 5
using namespace std; Factorial of Number 5 = 120
int factorial(int); // Function prototype //
int main()
{
www.kalvikadal.in
int no;
cout<<"\nEnter a number to find its factorial: ";
cin >> no;
cout << "\nFactorial of Number " << no <<" = " << factorial(no);
return 0;
}
int factorial(int m)
{
if (m > 1)
{
return m*factorial(m-1);
}
else
{
return 1;
}
}
3. Explain scope of variable with example. [M-2020]
 Scope refers to the accessibility of a variable. There are four types of scopes in C++.
 They are: Local scope, Function scope, File scope and Class scope.
1.Local Scope:
 A local variable is defined within a block.
 A block of code begins and ends with curly braces { }.
 The scope of a local variable is the block in which it is defined.
 A local variable cannot be accessed from outside the block of its declaration.
 A local variable is created upon entry into its block and destroyed upon exit.
2.Function Scope:
 The scope of variables declared within a function is extended to the function block, and all sub-blocks therein.
 The life time of a function scope variable, is the life time of the function block.
 The scope of formal parameters is function scope.
3.File Scope:
 A variable declared above all blocks and functions (including main () ) has the scope of a file.
 The life time of a file scope variable is the life time of a program.
 The file scope variable is also called as global variable.
Example:
#include<iostream>
void main ( )
{
Int b=20; b- function scope
If(a>b)
{
int t; t - Local variable
a=b;
b=t;
}
}
4.Class Scope :
 A class is a new way of creating and implementing a user defined data type
 Classes provide a method for packing together data of different types.
 Data members are the data variables that represent the features or properties of a class.

{
int r=0,d;
while(num >0)
{
d=num%10;
r=r*10+d;
num=num/10;
}
return(r);
}
int main()
{
int x;
cout<<”\nEnter a number”;
cin>>x;
cout<<”\nReverse of the number is”<<reverse(x);
return 0;
}
5. Write the output of the following program. [M-2023] Output
#include<iostream> Monitor
using namespace std Speaker
int main () Printer
{ Scanner
Char dev[5][10]=”{“Monitor”,”Speaker”, “Printer”,”Scanner”,”Keyboard”}; Keyboard (or)
for(int i=0; i<5; i++) Error (or)
cout<<dev[i]<<”\n”; Relevant error message
}
6. Write a short note bon pow () in C++. [J-2023 (II)]
 The pow() function returns base raised to the power of an exponent.
 If any argument passed to pow() is long double, the return type is promoted to long double.
 If not, the return type is double.
 The pow() function takes two arguments: 1.base - the base value 2.exponent - exponent of the base
What is parameter and List its types (J-2023 (I))
Parameter:
 Parameters are the means to pass values from the calling function to the called
function. Types: 1.Farmal parameters 2.Actual parameters
Formal parameters:
 The variables used in the function definition as parameters are known as formal parameters.
Actual parameters:
 The constants, variables or expressions used in the function call are known as actual parameters.
1. Write a C++ program to find the difference between two matrixes. [J-2019]
#include<iostream>

{
int i,j,A[10][10],B[10][10],m,n;
cout<<”Enter number of rows”<<endl;
cin>>m;
cout<<”Enter number of columns”<<endl;
cin>>n;
cout<<”Enter the elements of A matrix”<<endl; for(i=0;i<m;i+

+)
{
www.kalvikadal.in
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
{
cin>>B[i][j];
}
}
cout<<”The differences between the matrices”<<endl;
{
for(i=0;i<m;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
cout<< (A[i][j]-B[i][j]<<”s/t”
}
cout<<”/n”;
}
}
2. i) What is structure .What is its use? [M-2020]
 Structure is a user-defined which has the combination of data items with different data types.
 This allows to group of variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.
Use:
 The structure provides a facility to store different data types as a part of the same logical element in one
memory chunk adjacent to each other.
ii) Write the syntax and an example for
structure. Syntax:
struct structure_name
{
type member_name1; type member_name2;
}
reference_name;
Example:
struct Student
{
long rollno; int age; float weight;
};
iii) How to access members of a structure? Give example.
 Once the two objects of student structure type are declared, their members can be accessed directly.
 The syntax for that is using a dot (.) between the object name and the member name.
Syntax is: Object name . Member
For example:
struct Student
{
longrollno; int age;
float weight;
}
balu, frank;
The elements of the structure Student can be accessed as follows:
balu.rollno balu.age balu.weight frank.rollno rank.age frank.weight.

1. Write the differences between Object Oriented Programming and procedural programming. [J-2019]
www.kalvikadal.in
Procedural Programming. Object Oriented Programming
 It deals with algorithms  It deals with data
 Programs are divided into functions  Programs are divided into objects
 Less secure  More secure
 It is top down approach  It is bottom down approach
 All data items are global.  Data abstraction is introduced.
 Emphasizes on algorithm.  Emphasizes on data rather than algorithm.
 Overloading is not possible  Overloading is possible
 Implement programs in the form of sub programs.  Implement programs using classes and objects.
Ex: C,VB,COBOL, FORTRAN Ex: C++, JAVA, VB.NET,PYTHON
2. What are the advantages of OOPS? [M-2020, S-2020, M-2022, J-2024]
1. Re-usability:
 “Write once and use it multiple times” you can achieve this by using class.
2. Redundancy:
 Inheritance is the good feature for data redundancy.
 If you need a same functionality in multiple class you can write a common class for the same functionality and
inherit that class to sub class.
3. Easy Maintenance:
 It is easy to maintain and modify existing code as new objects can be created with small differences to existing ones.
4. Security:
 Using data hiding and abstraction only necessary data will be provided thus maintains the security of data.
3. Write a note on the basic concepts that supports OOPs? (OR) [M-2019, M-2020, S-2020, J-2023]
What are the main features of OOPS?
1.Encapsulation:
 The mechanism by which the data and functions are bound together into a single unit is known as Encapsulation.
 Encapsulation is about binding the data variables and functions together in class. It can also be called data binding.
2.Data Abstraction:
 Abstraction refers to showing only the essential features without revealing background details.
 Classes use the concept of abstraction to define a list of abstract attributes and function which operate on these attributes.
 They encapsulate all the essential properties of the object that are to be created.
 The attributes are called data members because they hold information.
 The functions that operate on these data are called methods or member function.
3. Modularity:
 Modularity is designing a system that is divided into a set of functional units (named modules) that can be
composed into a larger application.
4. Inheritance:
 Inheritance is the technique of building new classes (derived class) from an existing Class (base class)
 The most important advantage of inheritance is code reusability.
5. Polymorphism:
 Polymorphism is the ability of a message or function to be displayed in more than one form.
1. Mention the differences between constructor and destructor. [M-2023]
Constructor Destructor
 The name of the constructor must be same as that  The destructor has the same name as that class
of the class. prefixed by the tilde character ‘~’.
 No return type can be specified for constructor.  It has no return type
 A constructor can have parameter list.  The destructor cannot have arguments.
 The constructor function can be overloaded.  Destructors cannot be overloaded.
 They cannot be inherited but a derived class can  They cannot be inherited
call the base class constructor.
 The compiler generates a constructor, in the  In the absence of user defined destructor, it is
absence of a user defined constructor. generated by the compiler.

[[email protected]]
 The constructor is executed automatically when  The destructor is executed automatically when the control
the object is created. reaches the end of class scope to destroy the object.
 Allocated memory space for the object  Destroy the object

1. What are the rules for operator overloading? (OR) [M-2020, AUG-2022, J-2023, J-2024]
Restrictions on Operator Overloading
1. Precedence and Associate activity of an operator cannot be changed.
2. No new operators can be created, only existing operators can be overloaded.
3. Cannot redefine the meaning of an operator’s procedure.
 You cannot change how integers are added.
 Only additional functions can be given to an operator
4. Overloaded operators cannot have default arguments.
5. When binary operators are overloaded, the left hand object must be an object of the relevant class
2. What is function overloading? What are the rules for function overloading? [M-2024]
Function overloading:
 The ability of the function to process the message or data in more than one form is called as function overloading.
Rules for function overloading: [J-2023(B)]
 The overloaded function must differ in the number of its arguments or data types
 The return type of overloaded functions are not considered for overloading same data type
 The default arguments of overloaded functions are not considered as part of the parameter list in function overloading.

1. Explain the different types of inheritance. [J-2019, AUG-2022, M-2024]
 There are different types of inheritance viz., Single Inheritance, Multiple
inheritance, Multilevel inheritance, hybrid inheritance and hierarchical inheritance.
1. Single Inheritance :
 When a derived class inherits only from one base class, it is known as single inheritance.
2. Multiple Inheritance:
www.kalvikadal.in
 When a derived class inherits from multiple base classes it is known as multiple inheritance
3. Hierarchical inheritance:
 When more than one derived classes are created from a single base class, it is known as Hierarchical
inheritance.
4. Multilevel Inheritance:
 The transitive nature of inheritance is reflected by this form of inheritance.
 When a class is derived from a class which is a derived class – then it is referred to as multilevel inheritance.
5. Hybrid inheritance:
 When there is a combination of more than one type of inheritance, it is known as hybrid inheritance.
 Hence, it may be a combination of Multilevel and Multiple inheritance or Hierarchical and Multilevel
inheritance or Hierarchical, Multilevel and Multiple inheritance.

2. Explain the different visibility mode through pictorial representation. [M-2020, S-2020, J-2023]
 An important feature of Inheritance is to know which member of the base class will be acquired by the derived class.
 This is done by using visibility modes.
 The accessibility of base class by the derived class is controlled by visibility modes.
 The three visibility modes are private, protected and public.
 The default visibility mode is private.
1.Private visibility mode:
 When a base class is inherited with private visibility mode the public and protected members of the base class
become ‘private’ members of the derived class.
www.kalvikadal.in
2. Protected visibility mode:
 When a base class is inherited with protected visibility mode the protected and public members of the base
class become ‘protected members ‘ of the derived class.
3. Public visibility mode:

 When a base class is inherited with public visibility mode ,the protected members of the base class will be
inherited as protected members of the derived class and the public members of the base class will be inherited
as public members of the derived class.

3. Write the different types of cyber-attacks. [J-2019,M-2023]
Cyber Attack Function
Virus  A virus is a small piece of computer code that can repeat itself and spreads from one computer to another by attaching
itself to another computer file.
 One of the most common virus is Trojan.
 A Trojan virus is a program that appears to perform one function but actually performs malicious activity when
executed.
Worms  Worms are self- repeating and do not require a computer program to attach themselves.
 Worms continually look for vulnerabilities and report back to the author of the worm when weaknesses are
www.kalvikadal.in
discovered.
Spyware  Spyware can be installed on the computer automatically when the attachments are open, by clicking on links or by
downloading infected software.
Ransom ware  Ransom ware is a type of malicious program that demands payment after launching a cyber-attack on a computer
system.
 This type of malware has become increasingly popular among criminals and costs the organizations millions each
year.
Pharming  Pharming is a scamming practice in which malicious code is installed on a personal computer or server, misdirecting
users to fraudulent web sites without their knowledge or permission.
Phishing  Phishing is a type of computer crime used to attack, steal user data, including login name, password and credit card
numbers.
