C++ Programming MCQs Test 3

This Test will cover complete C++ with very important questions, starting off from basics to advanced level.

Q. Which of the following parameter passing mechanism(s) is/are supported by

C++, but not by C?

A. Pass by value

B. Pass by reference

C. Pass by value-result

D. All of the above

Correct Answer : OPTION B, Pass by reference. As such C does not support pass by reference. But
it can be simulated by using pointers.

Q. cout stands for __________.

A. class output

B. character output

C. common output

D. call output

Correct Answer : OPTION C, common output

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void abc(int &p)

{
cout << p;
}

void main(void)
{
float m = 1.23;
abc(m);
cout << m;
}

A. results in a compila on error

B. results in a run me error

C. prints 1.23

D. prints 1

Correct Answer : OPTION A, results in a compilation error

Q. reference is not same as a pointer because __________.

A. a reference can never be null

B. a reference once established cannot be changed.

C. reference doesn't need an explicit dereferencing mechanism.

D. they are one and same

Correct Answer : OPTION A, a reference can never be null

Q. If a piece of code can be implemented as a macro or as an inline function,

which of the following factors favour implementation as an inline function?

B. Flexibility to manipulate as a pointer

C. Source code size

D. Interac ng with other components(like variables in an expression), in the correct way.

Correct Answer : OPTION B, Flexibility to manipulate as a pointer

Q. The fields in a structure of a C program are by default __________.

Declaration 1: char a;
Declaration 2: const char aa ='h';
Declaration 3: char *na;
Declaration 4: const char *naa;

Statement 1: aa = a;
Statement 2: na = &a;
Statement 3: na = &aa;

A. Only 1 and 2

B. Only 2 and 3

C. Only 1 and 3

D. All the three statements are illegal

Correct Answer : OPTION C, Only 1 and 3

Q. Forgetting to include a file(like cmath or math.h ) that is necessary will result

in __________.

A. Compila on error

B. Warning when the program is run

C. Error at link me

D. Warning when the program is compiled

Correct Answer : OPTION C, error at link time

Q. Assume that the random number generating function, rand() , returns an

integer between 0 and 10000 (both inclusive). If you want to simulate the
throwing of a die using this random function, you will use the expression
__________.

A. rand()%6

B. rand()%6+1

C. rand()%5+1

D. none of the above

Correct Answer : OPTION B, rand()%6+1. It should randomly generate any integer between 1 and 6.
rand()%6 returns an integer from 0 to 5. To make it 1 to 6, we need to add 1.

Q. Assume that the random number generating function, rand() , returns an

integer between 0 and 10000 (both inclusive). To randomly generate a number
between a and b (both inclusive), you will use the expression __________.

A. rand()%(b-a)

B. (rand()%a) + b

C. (rand()%(b-a)) + a

D. (rand()%(b-a+1)) + a

Correct Answer : OPTION D, (rand()%(b-a+1)) + a

Q. Which of the following comments about inline comments are true?

A. A func on is declared inline by typing the keyword inline before the return value of the func on.

B. A func on is declared inline by typing the keyword inline a er the return value of the func on.

C. A func on that is declared inline may not be treated inline.

D. Inline func ons are essen ally same as implemen ng a func on as macro.

Correct Answer : OPTION A, A function is declared inline by typing the keyword inline before the
return value of the function.

indeed going to be treated inline in the executable code?

A. Compiler

B. Linker

C. Loader

D. Preprocessor

Correct Answer : OPTION A, Compiler

Q. Which of the following type of functions is an ideal candidate for being

declared inline ?

A. A func on that is small and is not called frequently.

B. A func on that is small and is called frequently.

C. A func on that is not small and is not called frequently.

D. A func on that is not small and is called frequently.

Correct Answer : OPTION B, A function that is small and is called frequently.

Q. One disadvantage of pass-by-reference is that the called function may

inadvertently corrupt the caller's data. This can be avoided by :

A. passing pointers

B. declared the formal parameters constant

C. declared the actual parameters constant

D. all of the above

Correct Answer : OPTION B, declared the formal parameters constant
