Q.1. Write the output of the following segments of codes [6*3=18].
A.
int b[4] = {11,1,2,3};
int* p = b;
*p = *(p+2);
cout << b[0];
B.
int a[5];
a[4] = 3;
for (int i=3; i >= 0; i--)
{
a[i] = 2*a[i+1] - i;
cout <<"\n"<< a[i];
}
C.
for (int i=1; i<4; i++)
{
for (int j=1; j<=i; j++)
cout << j << " ";
cout << "\n";
}
D.
int main( )
{
increment( ) ;
increment( ) ;
increment( ) ;
}
void increment( )
{
static int i = 1 ;
cout<< i ;
i = i + 1 ;
}
E.
int x=2; int y=3; cout <<(x>y?x:y);
F.
int x = 7; int y = 3; cout << x/y << " , " << x%y<<"and"<<++x*y--;
- 2. Briefly comment each of the following lines of code. The first line is done for you. Make sure you describe the difference between statements. [7]
int x = 2; //Creates integer variable named x and assigns it value 2. int *p; p = &x; *p = 4; cout << p;. cout << *p; int fun(int *, int*);
Q.3.(10 points) We know that when an array is defined a constant pointer is created which stores the starting address of an array. For example
float arr[6]={10,20,30,40,50,60};
a constant pointer, with the name of ‘arr’, is created as given below:[7]
arr+3 and *(arr+3)
If the type of the above-mentioned array is an integer instead of float then calculate arr+3 and *(arr+3)
Q.4. Write a function to print the following series where n is input by the user in the main function. The limit should be inputted through the keyboard and will be passed to function as an argument.[7]
1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 +…………1/n
Q.5. Write a recursive function to obtain the running sum of the first 100 natural numbers.[7]
Q.6. Create a structure named Student to specify data on students given below: [7]

Assume that there are not more than 450 students in the college.
(a) Write a function to print names of all students who joined in a particular year.
(b) Write a function to print the data of a student whose roll number is given.
Q.7. Differentiate the following:[2×4=8]
a) Actual Parameters and Formal Parameters

- Placing function prototypes in the definitions of other functions restricts function calls to the function in which the prototypes appear.
[True] [False]
- Pointers are valid operands in arithmetic expressions, assignment expressions, and comparison expressions. However, not all the operators normally used in these expressions are valid in conjunction with pointer variables.
[True] [False]
- A pointer to void can be dereferenced just like any other pointer, by using the indirection operator (*).
[True] [False]
- If b is the name of an array of at least 4 elements, then the following statements both refer to its 4th element.
&b[ 3 ] bPtr +3
[True] [False]
- The following statement defines an array of pointers to strings.
const char *suit[ 3 ] = { “Hearts”, “Diamonds”, “Clubs” };

bool {sPrime (int num);
Q#4: Implement the following function threeToZero which accepts an integer array and its size, if there is a 2 in the array immediately followed by a 3, set the 3 element to 0.
Note: Indent your code properly. Use meaningful variable names. Write cin, cout, and all c++ keywords in lowercase (like if, for etc.)

- An integer to be searched from the data in the file.
The program displays the total number of occurrences of the integer in the file data.
Q#2: Assume yourself as a part of the control unit of Windows Live hotmail. Your job is to determine the password length of the user entered passwords.
A password
- Is said to be short if it contains less than 6 characters.
- Is perfect if it its length is greater than 6. (Max. length is 20 characters.)
You are to design a function that takes a parameter string (By Reference) and determines its length according to the above mentioned criteria.
