Q1. What is the output of this code?

vector<int> v(22);
bool b = (v[6]);
printf("%d", !b);

False
0
1
This code has an error.

Q2. Which of the following is a reason why using this line is considered a bad practice? (Alternative: Why is using this line considered a bad practice?)

using namespace std;

The compiled code is always bigger because of all of the imported symbols.
If the code uses a function defined in two different libraries with the same prototype but possibly with different implementations, there will be a compilation error due to ambiguity.
It automatically includes all header files in the standard library (cstdint, cstdlib, cstdio, iostream, etc).
It causes the compiler to enforce the exclusive inclusion of header files belonging to the standard library, generating a compilation error when a different header file is included.

Q3. What is the smallest size a variable of the type child_t may occupy in memory?

typedef struct{
    unsigned int  age    : 4;
    unsigned char gender : 1;
    unsigned int  size   : 2;
}child_t;

7 bits.
25 bytes.
1 bit.
1 byte.

Q4. What are the vectors v1 and v2 after executing the code?

std::vector<int> v1{1,2,3},v2;
v2=v1;
v1.push_back(4);
v2.push_back(5);

Error
v1:{1,2,3,4}; v2:{5};
v1:{1,2,3,4,5}; v2:{1,2,3,4,5};
v1:{1,2,3,4}; v2:{1,2,3,5};

Q5. Which of the following is a true statement about the difference between pointers and iterators?

While pointers are variables that hold memory addresses, iterators are generic functions used to traverse containers. This function allows the programmer to implement read and write code as the container is traversed.
Incrementing an iterator always means accessing the next element in the container(if any), no matter the container. Incrementing the pointer means pointing to the next element in memory, not always the next element.
Pointers are variables that hold memory address whereas iterator is unsigned integers that refer to offsets in arrays.
All iterators are implemented with pointers so all iterators are pointers but not all pointers are iterators.

Q6. What’s the storage occupied by u1?

union {
    uint16_t a;
    uint32_t b;
    int8_t c;
} u1;

7 bytes
8 bytes
2 bytes

Q8. Which of the following shows the contents of the vector pointed by v1 and v2 after running this code?

std:: vector<int> *v1 = new std::vector<int>({1,2,3});
std:: vector<int> *v2;
v2=v1;
v1->push_back(4);
v2->push_back(5);

*v1:{1,2,3,4}; *v2:{5};
*v1:{1,2,3,4,5}; *v2:{1,2,3,4,5};
Error
*v1:{1,2,3,4}; *v2:{1,2,3,5};

v1 and v2 point to the same vector.

Q9. Which of the following is not a difference between a class and a struct?

Because structs are part of the C programming language, there is some complexity between C and C++ structs. This is not the case with classes.
Classes may have member functions; structs are private.
The default access specifier for members of a struct is public, whereas, for members of the class, it is private.
Template type parameters can be declared with classes, but not with the struct keyword.

Templates can be used with both classes and structs Refernce Reference

Q10. Suppose you need to keep a data struct with permission to access some resource based on the days of the week, but you can’t use a bool variable for each day. You need to use one bit per day of the week. Which of the following is a correct implementation of a structure with bit fields for this application?

typedef struct {
    int sunday:1;
    int monday:1;
    // more days
    int friday:1;
    int saturday:1;
} weekdays;

typedef char[7]: weekdays;

typedef struct {
    bit sunday:1;
    bit monday:1;
    // more days
    bit friday:1;
    bit saturday:1;
} weekdays;

typedef struct {
    bit sunday;
    bit monday;
    // more days
    bit friday;
    bit saturday;
} weekdays;

Reference NOTE: Correct syntax is that each variable size is 1 bit. bit is not a type in C++.

Q11. What is an lvalue?

It’s a constant expression, meaning an expression composed of constants and operations.
It’s an expression that represents an object with an address.
It’s an expression suitable for the left-hand side operand in a binary operation.
It’s a location value, meaning a memory address suitable for assigning to a pointer or reference.

Q12. What does auto type specifier do in this line of code (since C++11)?

auto x = 4000.22;

It specifies that the type of x will be deduced from the initializer - in this case, double.
It specifies that the type of x is automatic meaning that it can be assigned different types of data throughout the program.
It specifies that x is a variable with automatic storage duration.
It specifies that more memory will be allocated for x in case it needs more space, avoiding loss of data due to overflow.

Q13. A class template is a _?

class written with the generic programming paradigm, specifying behavior in terms of type parameter rather than specific type.
blank superclass intended for inheritance and polymorphism.
class that only consists of a member variable, with no constructor, destructor, or member functions.
skeleton source code for a class where the programmer has to fill in specific parts to define the data types and algorithms used.

Q14. What is the ternary operator equivalent to this code snippet?

if(x)
    y=a;
else
    y=b;

y=a?b:x;
y=if(x?a:b);
y=(x&a)?a:(x&b)?b:0;
y=x?a:b;

Reference

Q15. What is the output of the code given below?

#include <iostream>

int main(){
    int x=10, y=20;
    std::cout << "x = " << x++ << " and y = " << --y << std::endl;
    std::cout << "x = " << x-- << " and y = " << ++y << std::endl;
    return(0);
}

x = 10 and y = 20
x = 11 and y = 19
x = 11 and y = 19
x = 10 and y = 20
x = 10 and y = 19
x = 11 and y = 20
x = 11 and y = 20
x = 10 and y = 19

Q16. What is the meaning of the two parts specified between parentheses in a range-based for loop, separated by a colon?

The first is a variable declaration that will hold an element in a sequence. The second is the sequence to traverse.
The first is an iterator, and the second is the increment value to be added to the iterator.
The first is the iterating variable. The second is a std::pair that specifies the range (start and end) in which the variable will iterate.
The first is a container object. The second is a std::pair that specifies the range (start and end) in which the elements will be accessed within the loop.

Q17. What is the output of the code given below?

int8_t a=200;
uint8_t b=100;
if(a>b)
    std::cout<<"greater";
else
    std::cout<<"less";

There is no output because there is an exception when comparing an int8_t with a uint8_t.
greater
less
There is no output because there is a compiler error.

Note: a variant of the question below.

Q18. What is the output of this block of code?

int8_t a=200;
uint8_t b=100;
std::cout<<"a="<<(int)a;
std::cout<<", b="<<(int)b;

a=-56, b=100
a=-55, b=100
a=200, b=-156
a=200, b=100

Note: Implicit conversion from ‘int’ to ‘int8_t’ (aka ‘signed char’) changes value from 200 to -56

Q19. What is the output after executing this code snippet?

int x=5, y=2;
if(x & y) {
    /*_part A_*/
}
else {
    /*_part B_*/
}

Part A executes because x==5 (true) and y==2 (true), thus the AND operation evaluates as true.
Part B executes because (x & y) results in 0, or false.
Part A executes because (x & y) results in a nonzero value, or true.
Part B executes because the statement (x & y) is invalid, thus false.

Q20. What is a valid definition for the `get_length` function, which returns the length of a null-terminated string?

int get_length(char *str) {
    int count=0;
    while(str[count++]);
    return count-1;
}

int get_length(char *str) {
    int count=0;
    while(str!=NULL){
        count++;
        str++;
    }
    return count;

int get_length(char *str) {
    int count=0;
    while((*str)++)
        count++;
    return count;
}

int get_length(char *str) {
    int count=0;
    while(str++)
        count++;
    return count;
}

Q21. Which STL class is the best fit for implementing a collection of data that is always ordered so that the pop operation always gets the greatest of the elements? Suppose you are interested only in push and pop operations.

std::list
std::vector
std::priority_queue
std::map

Q22. What is the meaning of the three sections specified between parentheses in a for loop separated by semicolons?

The first is the iterating variable name, the second is the number of times to iterate, and the third is the desired increment or decrement (specified with a signed integer).
The first is the initialization block, the second is the condition to iterate, and the third is the increment block.
The first is the iterating variable, the second is the container in which it should operate, and the third is an exit condition to abort at any time.
The first is the iterating variable name, the second is the starting value for the iterating variable, and the third is the stop value (the last value plus one).

Q23. What does this code print?

int i = 0;
printf("%d", i++);
printf("%d", i--);
printf("%d", ++i);
printf("%d", --i);

0,1,1,0
0,1,0,1
0,0,1,0
1,0,1,0

Reference

Q24. What is true about the variable named `ptr`?

void *ptr;

It is a pointer initialized at NULL.
It is a pointer to a void function.
That declaration causes a compiler error, as pointers must specify a type.
It is a pointer to a value with no specific type, so it may be cast to point to any type.

Reference

Q25. What is the output of the code given below?

int c=3; char d='A';
std::printf("c is %d and d is %c",c,d);

c is d and d is c
c is A and d is 3
c is 3 and d is A
c is c and d is d

Q26. What is the output of this code?

printf("1/2 = %f",(float)(1/2));

1/2 = 0.499999
1/2 = 0
1/2 = 0.000000
1/2 = 0.5

Q27. What is the difference between a public and a private class member?

Public members are the same as global variables, so every part of the code has access to them. Private members are the same as automatic variables, so only their class has access to them.
Public members are made accessible to any running application. Private members are made accessible only to the application where the object is instantiated.
Public members will be compiled as shared variables in a multithreaded environment. Private members will be compiled as Thread-local variables.
Public members can be accessed by any function. Private members can be accessed only by the same class’s member functions and the friends of the class.

Q29. Which statement is true?

Only classes can have member variables and methods.
C++ supports multiple inheritance.
C++ supports only single inheritance.
Only structs can inherit.

Q30. Consider a pointer to void, named `ptr`, which has been set to point to a floating point variable `g`. Which choice is a valid way to dereference `ptr` to assign its pointed value to a float variable `f` later in the program?

float g;
void *ptr=&g;

float f=*(float)ptr;
float f=(float *)ptr;
float f=(float)*ptr;
float f=*(float *)ptr;

Q31. What is the `.*` operator and what does it do?

It is the same as the class member access operator, or arrow operator (->), which allows you to access a member of an object through a pointer to the object.
It is the pointer to the member operator, and it allows you to access a member of an object through a pointer to that specific class member.
It is the member access with an address of the operator, which returns the address of a class or struct member.
It is a combination of the member access operator (.) and the dereference operator (*), so it allows you to access the object that a member pointer points to.

Q32. For these declarations, which choice shows four equivalent ways to assign the character “y” in the string to a char variable c?

char buff[50] = "strings as arrays of characters are fun!"
char *str = buff+11;
char c;

c = buff[16];
c = str[5];
c = *(buff+16);
c = *(str+5);

c = *(buff[15]);
c = *(str[4]);
c = buff+15;
c = str+4;

c = buff[15];
c = str[4];
c = *(buff+15);
c = *(str+4);

c = *(buff[16]);
c = *(str[5]);
c = buff+16;
c = str+5;

Q33. Which choice is the correct declaration for the class named Dog, derived from the Animal class?

class Animal{
    //....
}

class Dog :: public Animal {
   //....
};

class Dog : public Animal {
   //....
};

public class Animal :: Dog {
   //....
};

public class Dog extends Animal {
   //....
};

Q34. What is the output of this code given below?

#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    char c = 255;
    if(c>10)
        printf("c = %i, which is greater than 10", c);
    else
        printf("c = %i, which is less than 10", c);
    return 0;
}

c = -1, which is less than 10
c = 255, which is greater than 10
c = -1, which is greater than 10
c = 255, which is less than 10

Technically, whether a char is signed or unsigned is implementation-defined; in the latter case, the second answer would be correct. Reference

Q35. How can C++ code call a C function?

by simply calling the C code
There is no way for C++ to call a C function
by using extern “C”
by importing the source C code

Q36. Which choice is not a valid type definition of a structure that contains x and y coordinates as integers, and that can be used exactly as shown for the variable named `center`?

coord center;
center.x = 5;
center.y = 3;

typedef struct coord {
    int x;
    int y;
};

typedef struct coord {
    int x;
    int y;
} coord;

typedef struct {
    int x;
    int y;
} coord;

struct coord {
    int x;
    int y;

typedef struct coord coord;

Q37. Which choice does not produce the same output as this code snippet? Assume the variable `i` will not be used anywhere else in the code.

for (i=1;i<10;i++){
    cout<<i<<endl;
}

i=1;
while(i<10){
    cout<<++i<<endl;
}

for (int i:{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}) {
    cout<<i<<endl;
}

i = 1;
do {
    cout<<i++<<endl;
} while(i<10);

i = 1;
loop:
    cout<<i++<<endl;
    if(i<10) goto loop;

Q38. What does this part of a main.cpp file do?

#include "library.h"

It causes the toolchain to compile all the contents of library.h so that its executable code is available when needed by the final application.
It cherry-picks library.h for the declarations and definitions of all data and functions used in the remainder of the source file main.cpp, finally replacing the #include directive with those declarations and definitions.
It informs the linker that some functions or data used in the source file main.cpp are contained in library.h, so that they can be called in run time. This is also known as dynamic linking.
It causes the replacement of the #include directive by the entire contents of the source file library.h. This is similar to the Copy-Paste operation of library.h into main.cpp.

Q39. Consider this function declaration of `is_even`, which takes in an integer and returns true if the argument is an even number and false otherwise. Which declarations are correct for overloaded versions of that function to support floating point numbers and string representations of numbers?

bool is_even(int);

bool is_even(float f);
bool is_even(char *str);

bool is_even(float f);
bool is_even(char str);

bool is_even_float(float f);
bool is_even_str(char *str);

float is_even(float f);
char *is_even(char *str);

Q40. Which choice is an include guard for the header file `my_library.h`?

#ifdef MY_LIBRARY_H
#define MY_LIBRARY_H

// my_library.h content

#endif /* MY_LIBRARY_H */

#ifndef MY_LIBRARY_H
#define MY_LIBRARY_H

// my_library.h content

#endif /* MY_LIBRARY_H */

#ifdef MY_LIBRARY_H
#undef MY_LIBRARY_H

// my_library.h content

#endif /* MY_LIBRARY_H */

#define MY_LIBRARY_H
#include MY_LIBRARY_H

// my_library.h content

#undef MY_LIBRARY_H

Q41. What’s wrong with this definition when using a pre-C++11 compiler?

std::vector<std::vector<int>> thematrix;

There’s nothing wrong with it.
An std::vector cannot contain more std::vector containers as its elements.
The correct syntax should be: std::vector[std::vector[int]] thematrix;
>> is parsed as the shift-right operator, and thus results in a compile error.

Q42. What is the statement below equivalent to?

Q42.b. What is the statement equivalent to?

sprite->x

sprite.x
sprite.*x
(*sprite).x
*sprite.x

Q43. Consider a class named `complexNumber`. Which code will result in an equivalent object?

complexNumber(float real, float im)
: real_part(real),
 im_part(im){}

complexNumber(float real, float im) {
    this->real = real_part;
    this->im = im_part;
}

complexNumber(float real, float im) {
    this->real_part(real);
    this->im_part(im);
}

complexNumber(float real, float im) {
    this->real_part = real;
    this->im_part = im;
}

complexNumber(float real, float im) {
    this->real_part = &real;
    this->im_part = &im;
}

Q44. What is the result of executing this code snippet?

bool x=true, y=false;

if (~x || y) {
    /*part A*/
} else {
    /*part B*/
}

Part A executes because the expression (~x || y) always results in true if y==false.
Part B executes because the statement (~x || y) is invalid, thus false.
Part A executes because ~x is not zero, meaning true.
Part B executes because ~x is false and y is false, thus the OR operation evaluates as false.

Q45. What would be the output of this code?

int32_t nums[3]={2,4,3};
std::cout << ( nums[0] << nums[1] << nums[2] );

The output is the addresses of nums[0], nums[1], and nums[2], in that order, with no spaces.

int main(){
    ifstream file1("text1.txt", ios::binary);
    ofstream file2("text2.txt", ios::binary);
    file2 << file1.rdbuf();
}

It renames text1.txt to text2.txt.
It makes a directory called text2.txt and moves text1.txt there.
It copies the contents of text1.txt into text2.txt - i.e., it makes a copy of text1.txt, named text2.txt.
It appends the contents of text1.txt into text2.txt - i.e., replaces the contents of text2.txt by the concatenation of text2.txt and text1.txt.

Q49. Which of the following is not a consequence of declaring the member variable `count` of my_class as static? / Alt.: Which statement is true when declaring the member variable `count` as static?

class my_class {
    public: static int count;
}

The variable cannot be modified by any part of the code in the same application or thread. However, other threads may modify it.
The variable exists even when no objects of the class have been defined so it can be modified at any point in the source code.
The variable is allocated only once, regardless of how many objects are instantiated because it is bound to the class itself, not its instances.
All objects that try to access their count member variable actually refer to the only class-bound static count variable.

Q51. What is an appropriate way of removing `my_object` as shown below?

my_class *my_object = new my_class();

delete(my_object);
free(my_object);
The garbage collector will destroy the object eventually.
Exiting the scope will destroy the object.

Q52. What is the correct way to call the `count` member function for the object pointer called `grades`?

class my_array{
    public:
        int count();

Q54. Does this code cause a compiler error? If so, why, and if not, what is `child_t`?

typedef struct{
    unsigned int  age    : 4;
    unsigned char gender : 1;
    char                 : 0;
    unsigned int  size   : 2;
}child_t;

Yes, it causes a compiler error because the colon character is not allowed in struct definitions.
No, and child_t is a type defined as a structure with bit fields. It has 4 bits for age and 1 bit for gender in the first byte, and 2 bits for size in the second byte.
Yes, it causes a compiler error because there is an unnamed field.
Yes, it causes a compiler error because one field is defined as having a size of 0.

Q57. What does this function do?

auto buff = new char[50];
std::memset(buff,20,50);

It declares a memory buffer named buff that starts at address 20 and ends at address 70.
It sets all bits in the array named buffer from its element at index 20 to its element at index 50.
It writes the value 20 in every memory address from buff to buff+49.
It declares a memory buffer named buff that starts at address 20 and ends at address 50.

Q60. Which choice is the most reasonable implementation of the function std::mutex::lock() by using std::mutex::try_lock()?

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(!this->try_lock());
}

void std::mutex::lock(){
    return (this->try_lock());
}

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(1)
        this->try_lock();
}

void std::mutex::lock(){
    while(this->try_lock());
}

Note: variant of the question below.

Q61. What is the main difference between these two Functions?

std::mutex::lock()
std::mutex::try_lock()

lock() has a higher privilege over try_lock(). This means that you have a better chance of acquiring a mutex with lock().
Both attempt to acquire a lock, but lock() blocks if the mutex is not available, whereas try_lock() returns whether the mutex is available or not.
lock() enforces preemption, whereas try_lock() suggests preemption.
If the mutex is not available, try_lock() returns with a corresponding code, whereas lock() snatches the mutex from the thread that currently has it.

Note: variant of the question above.

Q62. What is the purpose of a destructor?

It allows the programmer to write the necessary code to free the resources acquired by the object prior to deleting the object itself.
It deletes an object. One example of a destructor is the delete() function.
It terminates a program. This may be achieved as a regular function call or as an exception.
There are no destructors in C++.

Q63. What is one benefit of declaring the parameter as a `const` reference instead of declaring it as a regular object?

int calculateMedian(const my_array& a)

Actually, objects cannot be passed as regular variables, because they require a constructor call. Therefore, a const reference is the only way to pass class instances to functions.
There are no benefits because a reference and an object are treated as the same thing.
The const qualifier forbids the code to modify the argument, so the programmer can rest assured that the source object will remain unchanged. / Alt.: The argument is passed as a reference, so if the passed my_array object is large, the program will require less time and memory.
The argument is passed as a reference, so the function receives a copy that can be modified without affecting the original variable.

Q66. What is the purpose of this line in a header file?

#pragma once

to restrict the use of its contents to only one source file
to tell the compiler that only one variable can be instantiated from the classes or types contained in this header file
to help the compiler finish faster by assuring that only one compiler pass is necessary for the code included in this header file
to make the compiler parse that header file only once, even if it is included multiple times in the source

Q68. Other than shifting bits to the left, what is the « operator used for?

shifting characters to the left in a string.
inserting characters into an output stream like std::cout.
comparing floating point numbers as less-than.
assigning a variable to a reference.

Q69. Which choice is a reason to specify the type of a pointer instead of using `void *`, which works as a pointer to any type?

The compiler needs the data type to make sure that the pointer is not going to be used on illegal non-pointable types such as functions, labels, pointers, and references.
void * does not work for any type. The language does not allow assigning anything other than void to a pointer to void *.
The compiler needs the data type to know how much memory to allocate for the pointer because different data types require different pointer lengths.
Yes, it causes a compiler error because one field is defined as having a size of 0.

Q70. What is wrong with this piece of code?

#include <iostream>
char str[20];
int main(){
    std::cout << "What's your name? ";
    str << std::cin
    std::cout << "Hello, " << str;
    return 0;
}

The main function is supposed to have a void return type.
std::cin and std::cout are invalid. The correct names for the character input and output streams are cin and cout.
The address of str is supposed to be used. That is &str instead of str.
The input operator flow is inverted. it should start from std::cin and then flow (») into str.

Q71. When placed in a valid execution context, which statement will dynamically allocate memory from the heap for an integer of value 11?

Q75. Why can the std::sort receive a function object as one of its parameters?

The std::sort function is a template. The programmer is free to enter the sorting algorithm in a function object as an argument.
Actually, std::sort takes only one argument, which is the container to be sorted.
std::sort operates on a template container. The compiler does not know how to relationally compare the values it contains, so a function must be provided to do the comparison.
std::sort will use the parameter function as an error handler. The function will be called if an error occurs.

Q89. When protecting a header file, why would you use ‘#pragma once’ instead of ‘include’ guard?

There is no reason to choose because they serve different purposes
An include guard uses a macro to achieve single inclusion, but the compiler cannot prevent the programmer from defining that macro elsewhere, which would result in no inclusion at all defining that macro elsewhere, which would result in no inclusion at all
‘#pragma once’ guarantees that the header code will never be changed because it is enforced by the compiler
Include guards refer to the header file in the file system, not to the code, so they are not helpful if the header file exists more than once in a project. This is not a problem with ‘#pragma once’

Q104. The program below is handling a stack container. What is the output of running the program?

#include <iostream>
#include <stack>

int main()
{

	stack.push(1);
	stack.push(2);
	stack.push(3);

	stack.pop();

	stack.push(4);

	stack.top();
	stack.pop();

	std::cout << stack.top();
}

#Detailed explanation:

Now here we are supposed to implement a stack data structure that follows the FILO or (First IN Last Out) principle, stack.push() -> pushes an element into the from the end array. stack.pop() -> removes an element from the end of the array. stack.top() -> Just gives us the topmost element of the array. Now following the sequences of push and pop: [1,2,3] then pop function is used, The newly formed array is: [1,2,4] then the top is used to retrieve the topmost element ‘4’ then again the pop function is used which removes 4. thus, the resulting array is: 1,2. Then it prints the topmost element (ie: 2).

Q130. Do you need to define a static inline data member in a cpp file?

No, the definition happens at the same place where a static inline member is declared.
Yes, the compiler needs the definition in a cpp file.
Yes, the compiler needs a definition in all translation units that use this variable.

Reference

Q131. What’s the output of the following code:

struct S {
    int a { 10 };
    int b { 42 };
};
S s { 1 };
std::cout << s.a << ", " << s.b;

Output is: 1, 0
Output is: 10, 42
Output is: 1, 42

Q132. Can a static inline variable be non-constant?

Yes, it’s just a regular variable.
No, inline variables must be constant.

Q133. Consider the following code:

struct C {
    C(int x) : a(x) { }
    int a { 10 };
    int b { 42 };
};
C c(0);

C::a is initialized twice. The first time, it’s initialized with 10, and then the second time with 0 in the constructor.
C::a is initialized only once with 0 in the constructor.
The code doesn’t compile because the compiler cannot decide how to initialize the C::a member.
2 bytes

Q134. What happens when you throw an exception from a constructor?

The object is considered “created” so it will follow the regular lifetime of an object.
The object is considered “partially created,” and thus, the compiler won’t call its destructor.
he compiler calls std::terminate as you cannot throw exceptions from constructors.

Q135. What happens when you compile this code?

struct Point { int x; int y; };
Point pt {.y = 10, .x = 11 };
std::cout << pt.x << ", " << pt.y;

The code doesn’t compile. Designators have to be in the same order as the data members in the Point class.
The code compiles and prints 11, 10.
The code compiles and prints 10, 11.

Q136. Will this code work in C++11?

struct User { std::string name = "unknown"; unsigned age { 0 }; };
User u { "John", 101 };

Yes, the code compiles in C++11 mode.
The code compiles starting with C++14 mode.
The code doesn’t compile even in C++20.

Q137. Assume you have a std::map<string, int> m;. Select the single true statement about the following loop:

for (const pair<string, int>& elem : m)

A The loop properly iterates over the map, creating no extra copies.
B The loop will create a copy of each element in the map as the type of elem mismatches.
C The code won’t compile as a const pair cannot bind to a map.

Q147.What is the time complexity of the below code?

for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
   for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
       cout<<"hello";
    }
}

O(n^3)
O(n^2)
O(n)
O(1)

Q148.What is the output of the code given below?

int a=10;
int k=++a;
int m=a++;
cout<<k+m;

Both ++a and a++ increase the value of a by 1 (ie: 11) and hence k+m becomes 22.

Q149. Which C++ construct is used for exception handling?

try-catch
if-else
for loop
switch-case

Q150. What is the purpose of the `break` statement in a loop in C++?

Exit the program
Skip the current iteration and continue with the next one
Terminate the loop
Return a value

Q151. In C++, what is the purpose of the `const` keyword when used with a variable?

It makes the variable immutable
It changes the data type
It defines a constant function
It makes the variable a pointer

Q152. Which is more effective while calling the C++ functions??

Call by reference
Call by value
Call by pointer
Call by object

Q153. What will be the output of the following C++ program?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A{
public:
	A(){
		cout<<"Constructor called\n";
	   }
	~A(){
		cout<<"Destructor called\n";
	    }
};
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
	A *a = new A[5];
	delete[] a;
	return 0;
}

Segmentation fault
“Constructor called” five times and then “Destructor called” five times
“Constructor called” five times and then “Destructor called” once
Error

Q.154 What is the output of this code?

printf("1/2 = %f",(float)(1/2));

1/2 = 0.499999
1/2 = 0
1/2 = 0.000000
1/2 = 0.5

class my_class{
    public: static int count;
}

All objects that try to access their count member variable actually refer to the only class-bound static count variable.
The variable exists even when no objects of the class have been defined, so it can be modified at any point in the source code.
The variable cannot be modified by any part of the code in the same application or thread. However, other threads may modify it.
The variable is allocated only once, regardless of how many objects are instantiated, because it is bound to the class itself, not its instances.

Q156. What is the purpose of the `constexpr` keyword in C++?

It is used to define constants in C++.
constexpr is used to specify that a variable is a constant pointer.
constexpr is used to indicate that an expression can be evaluated at compile-time, making it suitable for use in constant expressions.
It is a keyword used to create asynchronous functions.

Q157. What is a template metaprogram in C++?

Ref(https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/template-metaprogramming-in-c/)
A template metaprogram is a high-level programming language.
It refers to metaprogramming that uses templates in C++.
It’s a type of user interface design pattern.
A template metaprogram is a compile-time computation, where templates and template specialization are used to perform computations at compile time.

    for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
        int a = mat[i][j];
        mat[i][j] = mat[j][i];
        mat[j][i] = a;
    }
}
{% endraw %}
