C,C++ Questions
1. Base class has some virtual method and derived class has a method with the
same name. If we initialize the base class pointer with derived
object,. calling of that virtual method will result in which method being called?

a. Base method
b. Derived method..

Ans. b

2. For the following C program

#define AREA(x)(3.14*x*x)
main()
{float r1=6.25,r2=2.5,a;
a=AREA(r1);
printf("\n Area of the circle is %f", a);
a=AREA(r2);
printf("\n Area of the circle is %f", a);
}

What is the output?

Ans. Area of the circle is 122.656250

Area of the circle is 19.625000

3. What do the following statements indicate. Explain.

1. 1000000

9. How do you declare an array of N pointers to functions returning

pointers to functions returning pointers to characters?

Ans: The first part of this question can be answered in at least

three ways:

1. char *(*(*a[N])())();

2. Build the declaration up incrementally, using typedefs:

typedef char *pc; /* pointer to char */

typedef pc fpc(); /* function returning pointer to char */
typedef fpc *pfpc; /* pointer to above */
typedef pfpc fpfpc(); /* function returning... */
typedef fpfpc *pfpfpc; /* pointer to... */
pfpfpc a[N]; /* array of... */

3. Use the cdecl program, which turns English into C and vice
versa:

cdecl> declare a as array of pointer to function returning

pointer to function returning pointer to char
char *(*(*a[])())()

cdecl can also explain complicated declarations, help with

casts, and indicate which set of parentheses the arguments
go in (for complicated function definitions, like the one
above).
Any good book on C should explain how to read these complicated
C declarations "inside out" to understand them ("declaration
mimics use").
The pointer-to-function declarations in the examples above have
not included parameter type information. When the parameters

have complicated types, declarations can *really* get messy.

(Modern versions of cdecl can help here, too.)

10. A structure pointer is defined of the type time . With 3 fields min,sec hours
having pointers to intergers.
Write the way to initialize the 2nd element to 10.

11. In the above question an array of pointers is declared.

Write the statement to initialize the 3rd element of the 2 element to 10;

12.
int f()
void main()
{
f(1);
f(1,2);
f(1,2,3);
}
f(int i,int j,int k)
{
printf("%d %d %d",i,j,k);
}

What are the number of syntax errors in the above?

Ans: None.

13.
void main()
{
int i=7;
printf("%d",i++*i++);
}

Ans: 56

14.
#define one 0
#ifdef one
printf("one is defined ");
#ifndef one
printf("one is not defined ");

Ans: "one is defined"
