🔹 Part 1: 3-Marks Questions (Attempt 2 out of 3)

Q1. Define the difference between while and do-while loop. ✅
Answer:

 while loop checks condition first; it may not execute even once.
 do-while executes the block at least once, then checks the condition.

Q2. What is the difference between syntax error and logical error?
Answer:

 Syntax Error: Error in code structure, e.g., missing semicolon. Detected by compiler.
 Logical Error: Code runs, but output is incorrect due to wrong logic. Not detected by compiler.

Q3. What is the purpose of return statement in a function?

Answer:

 It returns a value from the function to the calling code and ends function execution.

🔢 Given Code:
cpp
CopyEdit
int op, lim, k;
op = 6;
lim = 0;
while (k <= 60) {
k = op << lim;
lim += 1;
}

🧠 Step-by-step Explanation:

The expression op << lim means bitwise left shift, i.e., op * (2^lim).

So, we calculate how long the result k = op << lim stays ≤ 60.

Let’s compute each iteration manually:

Iteration lim k = 6 << lim = 6 * 2^lim Condition k <= 60

1 0 6 × 2⁰ = 6 ✅ Yes

2 1 6 × 2¹ = 12 ✅ Yes

3 2 6 × 2² = 24 ✅ Yes

4 3 6 × 2³ = 48 ✅ Yes

5 4 6 × 2⁴ = 96 ❌ No → loop exits

✅ Final Answer: 4 iterations

✅ Question No: 42 (Marks: 03)

What is the masking operator? Write the code snippet and determine the output of expression which
masks a variable int x = 100; with int m = 50;

🧠 Explanation of Masking Operator:

In C/C++, masking usually refers to using the bitwise AND (&) operator to filter specific bits in a value.

It is commonly used to isolate, clear, or toggle specific bits in an integer.

🧾 Code Snippet:
cpp
CopyEdit
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int x = 100;
int m = 50;
int result = x & m;
 cout << "Result: " << result;
return 0;
}

📌 Bitwise Breakdown:
yaml
CopyEdit
x = 100 → binary: 0110 0100
m = 50 → binary: 0011 0010
-----------------------------
x & m → 0010 0000 = 32

✅ Final Output: 32

✅ Question No: 44 (Marks: 03)

Name the types of constructor used in C++.

✅ Types of Constructors in C++ (Short Answer):

1. Default Constructor – No parameters.

2. Parameterized Constructor – Takes arguments.
3. Copy Constructor – Creates a copy of another object.

Optional (if needed for explanation):

4. Move Constructor – Transfers resources (C++11+).
5. Constructor with Default Arguments – Acts as both default/parameterized.

✅ Question No: 45 (Marks: 03)

Write the keywords used for auxiliary input/output stream and printer output stream in DOS.

✅ Answer (Short):

 Auxiliary input/output stream: aux

 Printer output stream: prn

These are reserved device names in DOS for auxiliary device (usually serial port) and printer output
respectively.

✅ Question No: 49 (Marks: 05)

Write the C++ syntax to create and delete a dynamic array using new and delete operator.
✅ Answer:
cpp
CopyEdit
// Creating a dynamic array of size n
int* arr = new int[n];

// Use the array...

// Deleting the dynamic array to free memory

delete[] arr;

 new operator allocates memory for an array dynamically.

 delete[] operator frees the allocated memory of the array.
