Q1: How C++ program is compiled into an executable? Answer in 4 lines only. Make a flow chart.

Q2: Write a program that inputs three integers from the keyboard and prints the sum, average, product,
smallest and largest of these numbers. The screen dialog should appear as follows: Use correctly sized data
type for sum and product outputs.

Input three different integers: 13 27 14

Sum is 54
Average is 18
Product is 4914
Smallest is 13
Largest is 27
13 is odd
27 is odd
14 is even

Q3: Write a program that inputs a five digit integer, separates the integer into its digit and prints them
separated by three spaces each. For example, if the user types in 42339, the program should print:

4 2 3 3 9

Q4: Develop a C++ program that uses a while statement to determine the gross pay for each of several
employees. The company pays “straight time” for the first 40 hours worked by each employee and pays
“time-and-a-half” for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours. You are given a list of the employees of the
company, the number of hours each employee worked last week and the hourly rate of each employee.
Your program should input this information for each employee and should determine and display the
employee’s gross pay.

Sample Output:

Enter hours worked (-1 to end): 39

Enter hourly rate of the employee: 10.00
Salary is 390.00 Rs.

Enter hours worked (-1 to end): 40

Enter hourly rate of the employee: 10.00
Salary is 400.00 Rs.

Enter hours worked (-1 to end): 41

Enter hourly rate of the employee: 10.00
Salary is 415.00 Rs.

Enter hours worked (-1 to end): -1

Q5: Write a program that ask user to enter an integer number and evaluates its factorial. Your program
should print the output as below,

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120

Q6: Write a program that ask user to input the number of elements in a Fibonacci sequence and then
generates a Fibonacci sequence up-to the given number of elements.
(Hint: In Fibonacci sequence, the next element is the sum of two previous values)

Enter length of three sides: 2 2 5

They are not sides of triangle.

Enter length of three sides: 2.4 3.8 5.5

They are sides of triangle.

Q8: Write a program that reads three non-zero double values and determines and prints whether they
are sides of right triangle. The program should verify the results up to 4 decimal places.
[Hint: Use Pythagoras theorem to determine whether the three sides form right triangle.]

Enter length of three sides: 3 4 5

The sides represents right triangle.

Enter length of three sides: 4 5 6.403

The sides don’t represents right triangle.

Enter length of three sides: 4 5 6.4031

Q9: Write a program that ask user to input a floating point number and computes exponential of that
number using Taylor series as below,
𝑥 𝑥2 𝑥3
𝑒𝑥 = 1 + + + +⋯
1! 2! 3!
Also, prompt the user for desired accuracy of e (i.e., the number of terms in summation).

Sample Output:

Enter a value whose exponential needs to be evaluated: 1

Enter number of terms for evaluation: 20
Result is: 2.71828

Q10: Write a program that ask user to input angle in radians and computes its sine using Taylor series as
below,
∞
(−1)𝑛
sin(𝑥) = ∑ 𝑥2𝑛+1
(2𝑛 + 1)!
𝑛=0

Also, prompt the user for desired accuracy of sine. (i.e., the number of terms in summation).

Sample Output:

Enter a value for sin evaluation: 2

Enter number of terms in the summation: 10
Result is: 0.909297

Q11: Write a program that prints any one of the following pattern as shown below,

* ********** ********** *
** ********* ********* **
*** ******** ******** ***
**** ******* ******* ****
***** ****** ****** *****
****** ***** ***** ******
******* **** **** *******
******** *** *** ********
********* ** ** *********
********** * * **********

Q12: A right triangle can have sides that are all integers. A set of three integer values for the sides of a
right triangle is called a Pythagorean triple. These three sides must satisfy the relationship that the sum of
the squares of two of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Find all Pythagorean triples for
side1, side2 and hypotenuse all no larger than 500. Use a triple-nested for loop that tries all
possibilities.

Q13: Consider the following code: Explain the output and any errors if any

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
unsigned short n=1000;
cout << "n = " << n << endl;
n *= 10;
cout << "n = " << n << endl;
n *= 10;
cout << "n = " << n << endl;
n *= 10;
cout << "n = " << n << endl;

return 0;
}

The output is
n = 1000
n = 10000
n = 34464
n = 16960

Q.14 Consider the following code and its output. Explain any errors.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float x=1000.0;
cout << "x = " << x << endl;
x *= x; // multiplies n by itself; i.e.,it squares x
cout << "x = " << x << endl;
x *= x; // multiplies n by itself; i.e.,it squares x
cout << "x = " << x << endl;
x *= x; // multiplies n by itself; i.e.,it squares x
cout << "x = " << x << endl;
x *= x; // multiplies n by itself; i.e.,it squares x
cout << "x = " << x << endl;

return 0;
}

x = 1000
x = 1e+06
x = 1e+12
x = 1e+24
x = inf

Q.15 The following code is for a quadratic equation solver

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

cout << "Enter the coefficients of a quadratic equation:" << endl;
cout << "\ta: ";
cin >> a;
cout << "\tb: ";
cin >> b;
cout << "\tc: ";
cin >> c;
cout << "The equation is: " << a << "*x*x + " << b
<< "*x + " << c << " = 0" << endl;
float d = b*b - 4*a*c; // discriminant
float sqrtd = sqrt(d);
float x1 = (-b + sqrtd)/(2*a);
float x2 = (-b - sqrtd)/(2*a);
cout << "The solutions are:" << endl;
cout << "\tx1 = " << x1 << endl;
cout << "\tx2 = " << x2 << endl;
cout << "Check:" << endl;
cout << "\ta*x1*x1 + b*x1 + c = " << a*x1*x1 + b*x1 + c << endl;
cout << "\ta*x2*x2 + b*x2 + c = " << a*x2*x2 + b*x2 + c << endl;
return 0;
