The comments should explain the logic, not the mechanics. Try to avoid fancy
programming.
Question No: 17 ( Marks: 1 )
Which header file must be included while handling files?

What is a truth Table?
Solution:-
We know the concept of truth table. The truth tables are very important. These are still a
tool available for analyzing logical expressions. We will read logic design in future,
which is actually to do with chips and gate. We find it difficult to evaluate a complicated
logical expression. Sometimes the logic becomes extremely complicated so that even
writing it as a simple syntax statement in any language.
(1) An array day is declared as: int day[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
How many elements does array 'day' has?

How many elements does array 'day' has?
Solution:-
7 elements
What are similarities and differences between Structures and Unions?
In structures, we have different data members and all of these have their own memory
space. In union, the memory location is same while the first data member is one name for
that memory location. However, the 2nd data member is another name for the same
location and so on. Consider the above union (i.e. intOrChar) that contains an integer and
a character as data members. What will be the size of this union? The answer is the very
simple. The union will be allocated the memory equal to that of the largest size data
member. If the int occupies four bytes on our system and char occupies one byte, the
union intOrChar will occupy four bytes

Write a void function( ); that takes integer numbers from the user and then displays the
sum of odd and even numbers entered by the user. Your program should terminate if user
enters a negative number
Solution:-
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void function(void);
main()
{
function();
getche();
}
void function(void)
{
int n[5];
for(int i=0; i<=5; i++)

Editors is a tool for writing the code of a program. For this purpose we used Editors in
which we write our code. We can use word processor too for this, but word processors
have many other features like bold the text, italic, coloring the text etc, so when we save a
file written in a word processor, lot of other information including the text is saved on the
disk. For programming purposes we don’t need these things we only need simple text.
Text editors are such editors which save only the text which we type. So for
programming we will be using a text editor
Compiler and Interpreter
Compilers translate the English like language (Code written in C) into a language
(Machine language) which computers can understand. The Compiler read the whole
program and translates it into machine language completely. The difference between
interpreter and compiler is that compiler will stop translating if it finds an error and there
will be no executable code generated whereas Interpreter will execute all the lines before
error and will stop at the line which contains the error. So Compiler needs syntactically
correct program to produce an executable code. We will be using compiler in our course
As we write the code in English and we know that computers can understand only 0s and
1s. So we need a translator which translates the code of our program into machine
language. There are two kinds of translators which are known as Interpreter and
Compilers. These translators translate our program which is written in C-Language into
Machine language. Interpreters translates the program line by line meaning it reads one
line of program and translates it, then it reads second line, translate it and so on. The
benefit of it is that we get the errors as we go along and it is very easy to correct the
errors. The drawback of the interpreter is that the program executes slowly as the
interpreter translates the program line by line. Another drawback is that as interpreters are
reading the program line by line so they cannot get the overall picture of the program
hence cannot optimize the program making it efficient.
.
Linker Most of the time our program is using different routines and functions that are
located in different files, hence it needs the executable code of those routines/functions.
Linker is a tool which performs this job, it checks our program and includes all those
routines or functions which we are using in our program to make a standalone executable
code and this process is called Linking
Loader after a executable program is linked and saved on the disk and it is ready for
execution. We need another process which loads the program into memory and then
instruct the processor to start the execution of the program from the first instruction (the
starting point of every C program is from the main function). This processor is known as
loader. Linker and loaders are the part of development environment. These are part of
system software.

Q21
What are similarities and differences between Structures and Unions? (5)
Structure
In structures, the data members are public by default. It means that these are visible to all
and anyone can change them. Is there any disadvantage of this? Think about the date.
syntax
struct student
{
char name[60];
char address[100];
float GPA;
};
Unions We have another construct named union. The concept of union in C/C++ is: if we
have something in the memory, is there only one way to access that memory location or
there are other ways to access it. We have been using int and char interchangeably in our
programs. We have already developed a program that prints the ACSII codes. In this
program, we have stored a char inside an integer. Is it possible to have a memory location
and use it as int or char interchangeably? For such purposes, the construct union is used.
The syntax of union is:
union intOrChar
{
int i;
char c;
};
Q22
Differentiate between C and c++. (10)
1. C was the C++ predecessor. As it's name implies, alot of C remains in
C++. Although not actually being more powerful than C.
2. C++ allows the programmer to more easily manage and operate with Objects,
using an OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concept
3. C++ allows the programmer to create classes, which are somewhat similar to C
structures. However, to a class can be assigned methods, functions associated to
it, of various prototypes, which can access and operate within the class, somewhat
like C functions often operate on a supplied handler pointer.
4. Although it is possible to implement anything which C++ could implement in C,
C++ aids to standardize a way in which objects are created and managed, whereas
the C programmer who implements the same system has a lot of liberty on how to
actually implement the internals, and style among programmers will vary a lot on
the design choices made
5. In C, some will prefer the handler-type, where a main function initializes a
handler, and that handler can be supplied to other functions of the library as an
object to operate on/through. Others will even want to have that handler link all
the related function pointers within it which then must be called using a
convention closer to C++.
6. C++ applications are generally slower at runtime, and are much slower to compile
than C programs. The low-level infrastructure for C++ binary execution is also
larger. For these reasons C is always commonly used even if C++ has alot of
popularity, and will probably continue to be used in projects where size and speed
are primary concerns, and portable code still required (assembly would be
unsuitable then).

In C/C++ the string constant is enclosed
► In curly braces
► In small braces
► In single quotes
► In double quotes
In fact, C's only truly built-in string-handling is that it allows us to use string
constants (also called string literals) in our code. Whenever we write a string, enclosed in
double quotes, C automatically creates an array of characters for us, containing that
string, terminated by the \0character. For example, we can declare and define an array of
characters, and initialize it with a string constant:

► 26
► 27
► 28
► 24

Switch statement deals with,
► Integer data only
► float data only
► character data only
► Integer and character data

A record is a group of related _____________.
► Files
► Bytes
► Fields
► Data

C++ views each file as a sequential stream of _______________.
► Bytes
► Bits
► 0’s or 1’s
► Words

To access the element of two dimensional array we use,
► Single referencing
► Single dereferencing
► Double dereferencing
► Double referencing
to access the elements of the two-dimensional array, we do double dereferencing like
**multi'.
If it is required to copy an array to another array then,
► Both arrays must be of the same size and data type
► Both arrays may be of different size
► Both arrays may be of different data type
► Both arrays may be of different size and type

Which bit of the number is used as a sign bit?
Answer:
The most significant bit of the number is used as a sign bit (to denote the sign of the
number).

What is the difference between tellg() and tellp() functions?
ANSWER:
tellg():function gives us the current get position of the file pointer. It returns a whole
number of type long, which is the position of the next character to be read from that file.
tellp():
tellp() function is used to determine the next position to write a character while writing
into a file. It also returns a long number

What is difference between variable and pointer?
Answer:
Variable:
Variables are used for easiness of program we put variable name and give some value
and in later
variable names are used instead of value
Pointers:
But in pointers instead of passing variables(value) we pass their addresses and & is used
to get the address.
What happened when we try to copy the array ‘arr1’ into the array ‘arr2’ in the following
code segment, justify your answer?
main()
{
int arr1[3]={2,3,5};
int arr2[3];
arr2=arr1;
}
Answer:
We can not copy array directly in this way (arr2=arr1;)
Each member of arr1 to be copied by each member of arr2.
We can use for loop to copy array 1 to array2
Differentiate between random access and sequential access file?
Answer:
Random access file:
Random access files are not in sequence mean its not necessary put that’s thing first that
written first
we put any thing from file any where
So tellg() and tellp() are the two very useful functions while reading from or
writing into the files at some certain position.
Sequential access file:
Sequential access files are simple character files. while working with the
sequential access files we write in a sequence not in a random manner

Program should not run as ofstream funcations are used, which are
define in header file so program did not load that header file.
If we assume all libraries are loaded and referenced properly.
Then this program
Will create file name abc.txt
If its already exit it will overwrite it and
Write the “Hello Buddies...Welcome to VU” in that file and close it.
Differentiate between C and c++
C++ was based on C and retains a great deal of the functionality. C++
does not retain complete source-level compatability with C.
There are a few gotchas for C++ programmers trying to write C code, and
C programmers trying to compile with a C++ compiler.
Actually c is a procedural programming language which
cann't face the real world problem. It has some drawback
like a global data is shared by all function and if in a
large program it is find out difficult that which function
uses which data.
On the other hand c++ is an object oriented programming

language which eliminate some pitfall of conventional or
procedural programming language. It is a concept or
approach for designing a new software. It is nothing to do
with any programming language although a programming
language which support the oops concept to make it easier
to implement.
This is the main different between c and c++.

What will be the result of the statement
rand ( ) % 50
Answer: When 50 divides any number, the remainder will always be less than 50.

What is the ASCII code of null character
Answer: The ASCII code of null character is all zeros.

What is a truth Table?
These are still a tool available for analyzing logical expressions. We will read logic
design in future, which is actually to do with chips and gates. How we put these things
together. In logic design, there are certain techniques that are known as minimization
techniques. These are used to make a big circuit with the use of minimum chips. These
minimization techniques deal with Boolean algebra i.e. logic. These techniques are also
used in programming. So we should keep breadth in our vision while maintaining a
horizontal integration. We should always think outside the box. There is a way of
thinking for us as programmers. We always look at problems, slice and dice them and
come up with solutions. Programming as a skill is infact important. It helps us think, from
a logical perspective. How can we do it is something else. We can get it from the
reference books of the language or from online help in the compiler. This part that how
can we do is always changing. New languages will be evolved for our help. On the other
hand, what is to be done depends on our logical skills and fundamental knowledge. We
have to develop this thing.
How learning to design programs is like play soccer?
“Learning to design programs is like learning to play soccer. A player must learn to trap a
ball, to dribble with a ball, to pass, and to shoot a ball. Once the player knows those basic
skills, the next goals are to learn to play a position, to play certain strategies, to choose
among feasible strategies, and, on occasion, to create variations of a strategy because
none fits. “
What is the purpose of the default statement

The default statement is optional. If there is no case which matches the value of
the switch statement, then the statements ofdefault are executed.

main(){
int x = 10
*ptr = 5 ;
}
Ans:
Int x=10….No ending semicolon.
*ptr=5 .. Declaring a pointer to constant integer.You can not use this pointer to change
the value being pointed to.

Can you use an assignment operator to assign the value of one C-string to another?
Ans:Yes,we use assignment operator,whenever we use objects that allocate memory it is
important that assignment operator should be defined for it,otherwise default operator
will copy the value of addressed and pointers.

Why binary search algorithm is more efficient than the linear search algorithm?
Ans:Binary search algorithm is more efficient than liner algorithem because the arrays
are sorted in asending or desending order and we use “devide and conqrer” technique.In
binery search each iteration reduces the search by the factor of two but in the linear we
have the same number of searches as we have the number of elements.e.g,if we have
array of 1000 elements the linear search will take 1000 iterations however binery search
will take max 10.
