The statement while (count <= 10) { ... } is equivalent to the statement do { } while (i>10); a. True b. False You can code the pretest loop in C++ using the while statement, but not the for statement. a. True b. False The exit statement can be used to terminate a called function and return to the calling function a. True b. False When a variable is passed by ____, only the value stored in the variable is passed to the function. a. Value b. Reference c. Output parameter d. Default parameter Initializer values for an array are enclosed in brackets ([...]). a. True b. False Which of the following statements about multidimensional arrays is false? a. Declaration tells the compiler the name of the array, the type of the elements, and the size of each dimension. b. The definition for a fixed-length array requires a constant for each dimension except the first. c. Fixed-size arrays can be initialized; variable-sized arrays cannot. d. The definition for a variable-length array requires a variable for each dimension. e. When a multidimensional array is initialized, the first and only the first dimensions size does not need to be specified when explicit initialization is used. Given the declaration int list[20]; the statement list[12] = list[5] + list[7]; updates the content of the twelfth component of the array list. a. True b. False Which keyword is used before the array declaration in a function heading to prevent the function from modifying the array. a. fixed b. extern c. const d. static Assume that you have the following declarations. int alpha[100], beta[25][4]; In this declaration, the array alpha has less elements than the array beta. a. True b.

Which of the following declarations correctly declares a two dimensional array of doubles named prices that has 10 rows and 5 columns? a. constint NUMROWS = 10; constint NUMCOLS = 5; double prices[NUMROWS + NUMCOLS]; b. constint NUMROWS = 10; constint NUMCOLS = 5; double prices[NUMROWS,NUMCOLS]; c. constint NUMROWS = 10; constint NUMCOLS = 5; double prices[NUMCOLS][NUMROWS]; d. constint NUMROWS = 10; constint NUMCOLS = 5; double prices[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS]; The function below performs a linear search on an array of integers. If the key is found, the items location in the list is returned. Otherwise a -1 is to be returned. Where should the statement, return -1;, appear in the code? intlinearSearch(int list[], int size, int key) { int i; PLACE 1 for (i = 0; i < size; i++) { PLACE 2 if (list[i] == key) return i; PLACE 3 } PLACE 4 } a. PLACE 1 b. PLACE 2 c. PLACE 3 d. PLACE 4 To reference fields within a structure identified by a pointer, we use the operator: a. :: b. .* c. -> d. . Which of the following string declarations is invalid? a. char str[9] = "Good Day"; b. char str = "Good Day"; c. char str[ ] = "Good Day"; d. char* str = "Good Day"; The declaration char codes[] = sample creates a character array named codes having six elements and fills the array with the six characters in the string sample. a. True b. False
