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];

int b[4] = {11,1,2,3};

int* p = b;

*p = *(p+2);

cout << b[0];

int a[5];
a[4] = 3;
for (int i=3; i >= 0; i--)
 {
	a[i] = 2*a[i+1] - i;
	cout <<"\n"<< a[i];
            }

int a[5];

a[4] = 3;

for (int i=3; i >= 0; i--)

{

a[i] = 2*a[i+1] - i;

cout <<"\n"<< a[i];

}

for (int i=1; i<4; i++)
                {
                     for (int j=1; j<=i; j++)
               cout << j << " ";
                     cout << "\n";
                }

for (int i=1; i<4; i++)

{

for (int j=1; j<=i; j++)

cout << j << " ";

cout << "\n";

}

int main( ) 
         { 
            increment( ) ; 
            increment( ) ; 
            increment( ) ; 
       } 
              void  increment( ) 
                   { 
                               static int i = 1 ; 
                               cout<< i  ; 
                               i = i + 1 ; 
        }

int main( )

{

increment( ) ;

}

void increment( )

{

static int i = 1 ;

cout<< i ;

i = i + 1 ;

}

int x=2;
int y=3;
cout <<(x>y?x:y);

int x=2;

int y=3;

cout <<(x>y?x:y);

int x = 7;
int y = 3;
cout << x/y << " , " << x%y<<"and"<<++x*y--;

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*);

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]

arrays program in university past paper — **Consider the above diagram and calculate:**
**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]
Roll number, Name, Department, Course, Year of joining
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.

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” }; [True] [False]

The following function receives a const double-scripted array of integers and two const string arrays.

void deal( const int wDeck[][ 13 ], const char *wFace{], const char *wSuit[] ) [True] [False]

A function name is really the starting address in memory of the code that performs the function’s task. Pointers to functions can be passed to functions, returned from functions, stored in arrays, and assigned to other function pointers.

[True] [False]

The following statement defines a pointer to a function that receives two integer parameters and returns an integer result. int *compare( int, int );

[True] [False]

In C, all arrays passed to functions are passed by reference.

[True] [False]

10. The string “life “, may be stored in an array of 4 characters.

(20) Q#1: What will be the output of the following program? If the program contains some errors (syntax, run time or logical) then correct them before writing the output. # include <iostream.h> int aain() { int i: int array(3)=(10, 15, 20}; int *ptrl, *ptr2, *ptr3; ptrl = array; ptr2 = arraytl; ptr3 = arrayt2: *otr2 = 6; ptr2 = ptr3; *otr2 = 43 +¢+(*ptrl); for (im0; i<3; {+t+) cout<<array(i}<<” “; cout<<endl; ++ptrl; *ptrl = 14; : for (i=0; 1<3; i++) cout<<array[i}<<” “%; cout<<endl; } Q#2: What will be the output of the following program? If the program contains some errors (syntax, run time or logical) then correct them before writing the output. #include <iostream.h> void inc_count (int *count_ptr) {*count_ptr) ++; int main() ‘ int count = 0; while (count < 10) ine_count (&écount): cout<<count; return (0); Q#3: Write a function name isPrime, which takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a Prime number, or false otherwise.[only write the definition for this function). 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.) void threeToZero(int arr{], int size) { // complete the function definition here Part-III Give Long Answers, Each question carries equal marks. (30) Q#1: Write down a program that accepts the following command line arguments:

The name of the text file that contains single ~ digit integer data separated by a white space.
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.
