Question No: ( Marks: 2 )
A two-dimensional array has 3 rows and 4 columns. Write down the syntax to initialize first element of all three rows of two-dimensional array with value 2.Ans:
int matrix[0][0]=2
int matrix[1][0]=2
int matrix[2][0]=2
Question No: ( Marks: 2 ) - Please choose one_____________
Explain smart pointer Question No: ( Marks: 2 )
which standard library we use in programming to read , write files Question No: ( Marks: 3 )
Identify the errors in the following code segment and give the reason of errors.main(){
int x = 10
const int *ptr = &x ;
*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.
Question No: ( Marks: 3 )
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.
