Model Questions from the Course

1. What is the output of sizeof(int) in a standard 32-bit C++ compiler?

   • Answer Options:

     1. 2

     2. 4

     3. 8

     4. 16

   • Correct Answer: 2

   • Explanation: In most 32-bit systems, sizeof(int) returns 4 because the size of an int is 4 bytes. This is a standard size for an integer in such environments.

   • Topic: Data Types and Variables

2. Which of the following is the correct syntax for dynamic memory allocation in C++?

   • Answer Options:

     1. int p = new int[10];

     2. int *p = new int[10];

     3. int p = malloc(10);

     4. int *p = malloc(10);

   • Correct Answer: 2

   • Explanation: The correct syntax for allocating dynamic memory in C++ is int *p = new int[10];, which uses the new keyword to allocate an array of 10 integers on the heap.

   • Topic: Dynamic Memory Allocation

3. What is the default access level for members of a class in C++?

   • Answer Options:

     1. public

     2. protected

     3. private

     4. friend

   • Correct Answer: 3

   • Explanation: By default, all members of a class in C++ are private. This means they are not accessible outside of the class unless specifically made accessible using public or protected keywords.

   • Topic: Object-Oriented Programming

4. What does the term "RAII" stand for in C++?

   • Answer Options:

     1. Resource Allocation Is Initialization

     2. Resource Allocation Is Invalid

     3. Resource Allocation Inheritance

     4. Resource Allocation Increments

   • Correct Answer: 1

   • Explanation: RAII stands for "Resource Allocation Is Initialization," a programming idiom in C++ where resource allocation is tied to object lifetime, ensuring that resources are properly released.

   • Topic: Memory Management

5. Which of the following operators cannot be overloaded in C++?

   • Answer Options:

     1. +=

     2. []

     3. .

     4. *

   • Correct Answer: 3

   • Explanation: The dot operator (.) cannot be overloaded in C++ as it is reserved for member access. Operators like +=, [], and * can be overloaded to define custom behavior for user-defined types.

   • Topic: Operator Overloading

Topics Covered:

-> Data Types and Variables

-> Pointers and References

-> Object-Oriented Programming

-> Memory Management

-> Operator Overloading

-> Inheritance and Polymorphism

-> Templates and Generics

-> Exception Handling

-> Standard Template Library (STL)

-> Control Structures and Loops
