What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG)void showMenu() { cout << "Q";}void eraseFile() { cout << "T";}void processRequest() { cout << "2";} int main(int argc char *argv[]) { cout << "A"; processRequest(); cout << "B"; cout << "C"; showMenu(); cout << "D";}
Correct Answer
A2BCQDExplanation
The main() method starts by printing "A". Then it calls the processRequest() function, which prints "2". After that, it prints "B" and "C". Next, it calls the showMenu() function, which prints "Q". Finally, it prints "D". Therefore, the output of the main() method is "A2BCQD".Rate this question:

What is the output of this program? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG)void showMenu() { cout << "Q";}void eraseFile() { cout << "T";}public static void processRequest() { cout << "2";} int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << "A"; processRequest(); processRequest(); showMenu(); eraseFile(); cout << "B";}
Correct Answer
A22QTBExplanation
The program starts by printing "A". Then, the function processRequest() is called twice, which prints "2" twice. After that, the function showMenu() is called, which prints "Q". Finally, the function eraseFile() is called, which prints "T". The program ends by printing "B". Therefore, the output of the program is "A22QTB".Rate this question:

What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG) int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { showMenu(); eraseFile(); cout << "B"; showMenu(); } void showMenu() { cout << "Q"; eraseFile(); } void eraseFile() { cout << "T"; } void processRequest() { cout << "2"; }
Correct Answer
QTBTQTExplanation
main() starts and calls showMenu():
showMenu() executes cout << "Q";, so "Q" is printed.
showMenu() then calls eraseFile().
eraseFile() executes cout << "T";, so "T" is printed.
showMenu() completes, returning to main().
main() then calls eraseFile():
eraseFile() executes cout << "T";, so "T" is printed.
main() then executes cout << "B";:
"B" is printed.
main() calls showMenu() again:
showMenu() executes cout << "Q";, so "Q" is printed.
showMenu() then calls eraseFile().
eraseFile() executes cout << "T";, so "T" is printed.
showMenu() completes, returning to main().Rate this question:

What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG) int getRemoteId() { return 3; } int getMonitorCount() { return 2; } int getStudentCount() { return 6; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int value; cout << "@"; v = getRemoteId(); cout << v; cout << "E"; v = getStudentCount(); cout << v; cout << "F"; v = getMonitorCount(); cout << "W"; }
Correct Answer
@3E6FWExplanation
The main() method starts by printing "@" to the console. Then, it calls the getRemoteId() function and assigns the returned value (which is 3) to the variable "v". It prints the value of "v" (which is 3) to the console. Next, it prints "E" to the console. It then calls the getStudentCount() function and assigns the returned value (which is 6) to the variable "v". It prints the value of "v" (which is 6) to the console. After that, it prints "F" to the console. Finally, it calls the getMonitorCount() function and prints "W" to the console. Therefore, the output of the main() method is "@3E6FW".Rate this question:

The following code in the main is valid:void createGameCharacter() {}int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int value; value = createGameCharacter(); // rest of program}
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given code is not valid because the function `createGameCharacter()` has a return type of `void`, which means it does not return any value. However, in the `main()` function, the variable `value` is assigned the return value of `createGameCharacter()`, which is not possible since the function does not return anything. Therefore, the code is invalid.Rate this question:

The following code in the main is valid:int depositMoney() { return 4;}int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int value; value = depositMoney(amount); // rest of program}
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The code in the main is not valid because it is calling a function called "depositMoney" with a parameter "amount" that has not been declared or defined anywhere in the code. This will result in a compilation error.Rate this question:

What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG)void loadSong(int id) { cout << id;}int checkLength(int id) { cout << id; id = id + 4; cout << id; return 9;}int getStudentCount() { return 6;}int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int value; loadSong(5); cout << "A"; value = checkLength(1); cout << "B"; cout << value; value = checkLength(4);}
Correct Answer
5A15B948Explanation
The main() method starts by calling the loadSong() function with an argument of 5, which prints "5" to the console. Then, "A" is printed to the console. Next, the checkLength() function is called with an argument of 1. Inside the function, "1" is printed to the console, then the value of "id" is incremented by 4 and printed again as "5". The function then returns 9. Back in the main() method, "B" is printed to the console, followed by the value returned by the previous call to checkLength(), which is 9. Finally, the checkLength() function is called again with an argument of 4, which prints "4" and "8" to the console. Therefore, the output of the main() method is "5A15B948".Rate this question:

What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG)void loadSong(int id) { cout << id;}int checkLength(int id) { cout << id; id = id + 4; cout << id; return 9;}int getStudentCount() { return 6;}int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int value; int x; x = 3; cout << "A"; value = checkLength(x); cout << "B"; cout << x; cout << value;}
Correct Answer
A37B39Explanation
The main() method initializes the variable x with the value 3. It then prints "A" to the console. The method checkLength(x) is called, which prints the value of x (3) and then adds 4 to it, resulting in 7. The method returns the value 9. The main() method then prints "B" to the console, followed by the value of x (which is still 3) and the value returned by checkLength(x) (which is 9). Therefore, the output of the main() method is A37B39.Rate this question:

What is the output of this main() method? Put the letters into the answer box provided wih no spaces between (i.e. ABCEDFG)void showValues(int x, int y) { cout << x; cout << y; x = 4;}int checkLength(int id) { cout << id; id = id + 4; cout << id; return 9;}int getStudentCount() { return 6;}int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int x; int y; x = 1; y = 2; showValues(y, x); cout << x; cout << y;}
Correct Answer
2112Explanation
The main() method starts by declaring two variables, x and y, and assigns them the values 1 and 2 respectively. Then, the showValues() function is called with the arguments y and x. Inside the showValues() function, the value of x is printed, which is 2, and then the value of y is printed, which is 1. After that, the value of x is changed to 4. Back in the main() method, the value of x is printed again, which is still 1, and then the value of y is printed again, which is still 2. Therefore, the output of the main() method is 2112.Rate this question:

When the changeChannel() method is called below, what is the value of the parameter number?void changeChannel(int number) { // code is hidden} int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int ch; ch = 240; changeChannel(ch + 10);}
Correct Answer
250Explanation
The value of the parameter number is 250 because in the main function, the variable ch is assigned the value of 240 and then passed to the changeChannel() method as ch + 10, which is 250.Rate this question:

In C++, a function that does not return any value is declared with the return type ______________.
Correct Answer
voidExplanation
In C++, a function that does not return any value is declared with the return type void. This keyword indicates that the function performs its operations without providing a result. When defining such a function, you use void in place of a data type, such as int or char, to signify that no value will be returned to the calling code after the function executes.Rate this question:

What is the value that is returned in the following function?int getVolume() { int v; v = 23; if (v < 50) { return 50; } return v;}
- A.
50
- B.
23
- C.
50 and 100
- D.
150
Correct Answer
A. 50Explanation
The function getVolume() initializes a variable v to 23. It then checks if v is less than 50. Since 23 is indeed less than 50, the function returns 50. Therefore, the value that is returned in this function is 50.Rate this question:

In C++, what is the correct syntax for declaring and defining a function pointer that points to a function named "calculate" taking two integers as parameters and returning a double?
- A.
Double (*calculate)(int, int);
- B.
Int (*calculate)(double, double);
- C.
Void (*calculate)(int, int);
- D.
Double (*calculate)(double, double);
Correct Answer
A. Double (*calculate)(int, int);Explanation
In C++, declaring and defining a function pointer involves specifying the return type and parameter types of the function it points to, enclosed in parentheses. In this case, we want a function pointer "calculate" that points to a function taking two integers as parameters and returning a double, which is correctly represented by option A. This is a more advanced concept in C++ programming.Rate this question:
