These test questions are fill in the blank, multiple choice, and true-false.

The multiple choice

questions may have more than one correct answer. There is one matching question. Mark all of
the correct answers for full credit.
True False questions require an explanation in addition to the true/false response, and, if false,
also require a correction.

True False:

 In C++ you can assign an expression of type double to a variable of type int with no problem.
Answer: TRue
Explanation:

 If we execute the code fragment in an otherwise complete, correct program:

n = 1;
cout << n++ << " " << n++ << " " << n++ << endl;
the output is guaranteed to be 1 2 3.

Answer:NO

Explanation:
if

n=1

n=(n++) + (n++) will print 3 after second line is executed as first n++ will be executed after +
operator, and second n++ operator will be executed after the statement is executed.

n=1+2=3

so the correct statement is this

 Given the declaration

int x = 0;
The following expression causes a divide by zero error:

(x !=0) || (2/x < 1);

Answer:

Explanation:
 In a do-while loop, a continue statement terminates the loop.
Answer: False

Explanation:  The boolean expression is executed before entering the body of the loop

 It is legal to replace the prototype

double totalCost(int numberParam, double priceParam);

with the more terse, alternate form

double totalCost(int, double);

Answer: True

prototypes can be duplicated.

Explanation:

 When using an array, it is perfectly legal to access indexed variables with index values less
than 0 or greater than or equal to the declared size of the array.

Answer:

Explanation:
 Consider these hierarchical structures.
struct Date
{
int year;
//members
};
struct Person
{
Date birthDay;
//other members
};
Person Bill;

The year of Bill’s birthday may be accessed as Bill.year;

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct Date{

int month, day, year;

};

struct Person{

string name;

Date date;

};

bool checkLeapYear(int year){

 if(year<0){

return false;

else if(year % 400 == 0){

return true;

else if(year % 100 == 0){

return false;

else if(year % 4 == 0){

return true;

return false;

int main()

struct Person p1, p2;

cin>>p1.name>>p1.date.month>>p1.date.day>>p1.date.year;

cin>>p2.name>>p2.date.month>>p2.date.day>>p2.date.year;

cout<<p1.name<<"'s birthday is";

if(checkLeapYear(p1.date.year)){

cout<<" a leap year."<<endl;

else{
 cout<<" a not leap year."<<endl;

cout<<p2.name<<"'s birthday is";

if(checkLeapYear(p2.date.year)){

cout<<" a leap year."<<endl;

else{

cout<<" a not leap year."<<endl;

return 0;

Explanation:

 A class may not have another class type object as a member.

Answer:
Explanation:

 The declaration below declares three pointer variables of type pointer to double that is, a
pointer of type (double*)

double* p1, p2, p3;

Answer: is wrong

Explanation: In above code p1 is a pointer where as p2 and p3 are data type double
variable.
