C++ Important Questions - Answers

1. Class templates vs Function templates:

Class templates define blueprints for classes with generic types, while function templates define generic

functions.

Example:

template<class T> class MyClass { T data; };

template<class T> T add(T a, T b) { return a + b; }

2. Need for template functions:

They avoid code duplication and allow operations with any data type.

3. User-defined types in templates:

Templates can use custom structs/classes.

Example:

template<typename T> class Stack { T arr[100]; };

4. Default arguments in class templates:

template<class T=int> class Example { T data; };

5. Typename vs class:

In templates, both are interchangeable, but 'typename' is also used to specify dependent types.

6. Formatted vs Unformatted I/O:

Formatted uses manipulators like setw; Unformatted uses low-level functions like get(), put().

7. C++ Stream Hierarchy:

ios

istream ifstream

ostream ofstream

iostream fstream
8. Purpose of setprecision():

Sets the number of digits displayed after the decimal point.

9. Clear all formatting flags:

Use cout.setf(0, ios::floatfield);

10. Template for reusability:

template<typename T> T max(T a, T b) { return (a > b) ? a : b; }

11. Three I/O manipulators:

setw(), setprecision(), setfill()

12. Manipulators vs ios functions:

Manipulators modify stream settings, ios functions control stream behavior.

13. Text vs Binary files:

Text files are human-readable; binary files store raw data.

14. Purpose of seekg() and seekp():

seekg(): move get pointer; seekp(): move put pointer.

15. put/get vs getline/write:

put/get are character-level; getline/write are line/block level.

16. Object serialization:

Saving object state using write()/read().

17. getline() vs cin:

geline reads full line including spaces; cin stops at space.

18. Opening/writing binary file:

ofstream fout("data.bin", ios::binary);

fout.write((char*)&obj, sizeof(obj));

19. Iterators vs Functors:


Iterators access container elements; functors are objects used as functions.

20. STL vs Other Libraries:

STL is built-in and generic; other libraries like Boost offer specialized tools.

21. Store objects in files:

ofstream fout("file.dat", ios::binary);

fout.write((char*)&obj, sizeof(obj));

22. Types of containers:

Sequence (vector, list), Associative (map, set), Unordered (unordered_map)

23. Random access in file:

Use seekg() or seekp() to jump to any file position.
