C++ Primer Plus (Six Edition) Chapter 4, Review

Q10. Use enum to define a type called Response with the possible values Yes, No, and Maybe. Yes should be 1, No should be 0, and Maybe should be 2.

A:

enum Response {Yes = 1, No = 0, Maybe = 2};

Q11. Suppose ted is a double variable. Declare a pointer that points to ted and use the pointer to diplay ted's value.

A:

double * bd = & ted;
cout << *bd << "\n";

Q12.Suppose treacle is an array of 10 floats. Declare a pointer that points to the first element of of treacle and use the pointer to display the first and last elements of the 

        array.

A:

float * pf = &treacle[0];
cout << pf[0] << " " << pf[9] << "\n";

Q13. Write a code fragment that asks the user to enter a positive integer and then creates a dynamic array of that many ints. Do this by using new, then again using   a

         vector object.

A:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

<pre name="code" class="cpp">  unsigned int size;

cout << "Enter a positive integer: "; cin >> size; int * dyn = new int[size]; vector<int> dv(size); return 0;}

Q14. Is the following valid? If so, what does it print?

         cout << (int *) "Home of the jolly bytes";

A: Yes, it is valid. The expession "Home of the jolly bytes" is a string constant; hence it evaluates as the address of the beginning of the string. The cout object inter-

   prets the address of a char as an invitation to print a string, but the type cast (int *) converts the address to type pointer-to-int, which is then printed as an address.

  In short, the statement prints the address of the string, assuming the int type is wide enough to hold an address.

Q15. Write a code fragment that dynamically allocates a structure of the type described in Question 8 and the reads a value for the kind member of the structure.

A:

struct fish
{   
   char king[20];
   int weight;
   float length;
};

fish * pole = new fish;
cout << "Enter kind of fish: ";
cin >> pole->kind;

Q16. Listing 4.6 illustrates a problem created by following numeric input with line-oriented string input. How would replacing this:

         cin.getline(address, 80);

         with this:

         cin >> address;

         affect the working of this program?

A: Using cin >> address causes a program to skip over whitespace until it finds non-whitespace. It then reads characters until it encounters whitespace again. Thus,

   it will skip over the newline following the numeric input, avoiding that problem. On the other hand, it will read just a single word, not an entire line.

Q17. Decare a vector object of 10 string objects and an array object of 10 string objects. Show the necessary header files and don't use using. Do use a const for 

         the number of strings.

A: 

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <array>

const int Str_num {10}; // or = 10
...
std::vector<std::string> vstr(Str_num);
std::array<std::string, Str_num>astr;
