AMCAT Data Types Questions

Question 1
What collects all the source code for an application and prepares them to be ready for execution?

A. Executor
B. Loader
C. Linker
D. Compiler

Answer- C
Explanation: In computing, a linker or link editor is a computer program that takes one or more object
files generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable file, library file, or another
‘object’ file.

Question 2
Usain Bolt runs 400 meters race, the timekeeper wants to write a program to save his track timing what
kind of a data type should he be using to store the temporary data?

A. int
B. Float
C. Pointer
D. Double

Answer- D
Explanation: The double type of data will give him the highest precision. e.g – 9.59716 secs

Question 3
Raman works in a reputed software company. His manager has asked him to make students sit in an
array like position, an array which can store numbers in both negative a[-4] and a[4] and so on in a
special compiler. He can only use 8 bytes of addressing. How many people can sit in this array and what
is the last negative position?

A. 128, -127
B. 264, -128
C. 264, -127
D. 512, – 127

Answer- B
Explanation: The For signed integer the possibilities are 2^8 = 264 However for unsigned we can divide
this by 2 i.e. 128. Thus array according the basic storage will be from -128 to +127.

Question 4
Paras has to write a code using a consecutive number of registers and these registers can at max
have 11 bits. How many signed numbers can he store in this
A. 1024
B. 512
C. 2048
D. 256

Answer- C
Explanation: It is very simple since it is signed thus, 2^11 = 2048 will be the answer

Question 5
Assembler works to convert assembly language program into machine language:

A. Before the computer can execute it


B. After the computer can execute it
C. In between execution
D. All of these

Answer- A
Explanation: Before the computer can execute a program, the Assembler works to convert assembly
language program.

Question 6
Prateek has got homework from his teacher to find the numbers bits in a data type that will help
me write in Portuguese Language has about 60 letters in it. What are number of bits he must be
using –

A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 3

Answer- C
Explanation: Since 2^6 is 64. For 60 a 6 bit integer will be enough.

Question 7
Which of the following is not a data type?

A. int
B. float
C. short
D. Boolean
E. All of the above

Answer- E
Explanation: All of them are data types.
Question 8

A. 4 bytes, 65,534
B. 2 bytes, 65,534
C. 2 bytes, -32,768 to 32,767
D. 4 bytes, -32,768 to 32,767

Answer- C
Explanation: Short number is of 2 bytes and ranges from -32,768 to 32,767
