Question 1.
Mr. Dixon declared a variable as follows int 9age. Is it a valid identifier. If not briefly explain the rules for naming an identifier.
Answer:
It is not a valid identifier because it violates the rule
1. The rules for naming an identifier is as follows.
1) It must be start with a letter(alphabet)
2) Under score can be considered as a letter
3) White spaces and-special characters cannot be used.
4) Key words cannot be considered as an identi-fier

Question 2.
How many bytes used to store ‘\a’.
Answer:
To store ‘\a’ one byte is used because it is an escape sequence. An escape sequence is treated as one character. To store one character one byte is used.

Question 3.
How many bytes used to store “\abc”.
Answer:
A string is automatically appended by a null character.
Here one byte for \a (escape sequence).
One byte for character b.
One byte for character c.
And one byte for null character.
So a total of 4 bytes needed to store this string.

Question 4.
How many bytes used to store “abc”.
Answer:
A string is automatically appended by a null character.
Here one byte for a.
One byte for character b.
One byte for character c.
And one byte for null character.
So a total of 4 bytes needed to store this string.

Question 5.
Consider the following code
{
cout<<“welcome to C++”;
}
After you compile this program there is an error called prototype error. Why it is happened? Explain
Answer:
Here we used the output operator cout<<. It is used to display a message “welcome to C++” to use this operator the corresponding header file must be included. We didn’t included the header file hence the error. .

Question 6.
In C++ the size of the string “book” is 5 and that of “book\n” is 6. Check the validity of the above statement. Justify your answer.
Answer:
A string is automatically added by a null character). The null character is treated as one character. So the size of string “book” is 5. Similarly a null character (\0) is also added to “book\n”. \n and \0 is treated as single characters. Hence the size of the string “book\n” is 6.

Question 7.
Pick the odd man out. Justify
TOTSAL, TOT_SAL, totsal5, Tot5_sal, SALTOT, tot.sal,
Answer:
tot.sal. Because it contains a special character dot(,). An identifier cannot contain a special character. So it is not an identifier. The remaining satisfies the rules of naming identifier. So they are valid identifier.

Question 8.
Write a C++ statement to print the following sentence. Justify.
“\ is a special character”
Answer:
cout<<“\\ is a special character” \\ is treated as an escape sequence.

Question 9.
A student type a C++ program and saves it in his personal folder as Sample.cpp. After getting the output of the program, he checks the folder and finds three files namely Sample.cpp, Sample.obj and Sample.exe. Write the reasons for the generation of the two files in the folder.
Answer:
After the compilation of the program sample.cpp, the operating system creates two files if there is no error. The files are one object file (sample.obj) and one executable file(sample.exe). Now the source file(sample.cpp) and object file(sample.obj) are hot needed and can be deleted. To run the program sample.exe is only needed.

5) Operators

Question 11. The following are some invalid identifiers. Specify its reason.
a) Sum of digits
b) 1 year
c) First jan
d) For
Answer:
a) Sum of digits —> space not allowed hence it is invalid
b) 1 year —> First character must be an alphabet hence it is invalid
c) First.jan —> special characters such as dot (.) not allowed hence it is invalid.
d) For —> It is valid. That is it is not the key word for

Question 12.

Answer:
5 – integer literal
‘5’ – Character literal

“5”- string literal

Question 13.
Identify the invalid literals from the following and write reason for each:
a) 2E3.5
b) “9”
c) ‘hello’
d) 55450
Answer:
a) 2 C 3.5 – The mantissa part (3.5) will not be a floating point number. Hence it is invalid
c) ‘hello’ -> It is a string hence it must be enclosed in double quotes instead of single quotes. It is invalid.

Question 3.
We know that the value of pi=3.14157, a constant (literal). What is a constant? Explain it?
Answer:
A constant or a literal is a data item its value doe not change during execution.
1) Integer literals Whole numbers without fractional parts are known as integer literals, its value does not change during execution. There are 3 types decimal, octal and hexadecimal.
Eg. For decimal 100,150,etc
For octal 0100,(5240, etc
For hexadecimal 0x100, 0x1A,etc
2) Float literals A number with fractional parts and its value does not change during execution is called floating point literals.
Eg. 3,14157,79.78,etc
3) Character literal: A valid C++ character enclosed in single

Question 1.
Consider the following code
The new line character is \n.
The output of the following code does not contain the \n. Why it is happened? Explain.
Answer:
\n is a character constant and it is also known as escape sequence. This is used to represent the non graphic symbols such as carriage return key(enter key), tab key, back space, space bar etc. It consists of a back slash symbol and one more characters.

Question 2.
You are about to study the fundamentals of C++ programming Language. Do a comparative study of the basics of the new language with that of a formal language like English or Malayalam to familiarize C++?. Provide sufficient explanations for the compared items in C++ Language,
Answer:
Character set: To study a language first we have to familiarize the character set. For example to study English language first we have to study the alphabets. Similarly here the character set includes letters(A to Z & a to z), digits(0 to 9), special characters+,-,?,*,/, ) white spaces(non printable)
etc..
Token: It is the smallest individual units similar to a word in English or Malayalam language. C++ has 5 tokens
1) Keywords
Eg: float is used to declare variable to store numbers with decimal point. We can’t use this for any other purpose

2) identifier: These are user defined words. Eg: variable name, function name, class name, object name etc…

3) Literals (Constants): Its value does not change during execution
Eg: In maths π = 3.14157 and boiling point of water is 100.

4) Punctuators: In English or Malayalam language punctuation mark are used to increase the read-ability but here it is used to separate the tokens. Eg:{,},(,)……….

5) Operators: These are symbols used to perform an operation(Arithmetic, relational, logical, etc…)
These are reserved words for the compiler. We can’t use for any other purposes.
