C++ Coding Midterm Practice Flashcards

logical (boolean) expression

relational operator

A __ allows you to make comparisons in a program

nested

when one control statement is located within another, it is said to be ____

short-circuit evaluation

A process in which the computer evaluates a logical expression from left to right and stops as soon as the value of the expression is known.

selection and repetition

Two most common control structures are: __ ___

switch

The ___ structure is sued to handle multiway selection

false

The result of a logical expression cannot be assigned to an int variable

false

In a one-way selection, if a semicolon is placed after the expression in an if statement, the expression in the if statement is always true.

false

Every if statement must have a corresponding else

true

The expression in the if statement:if (score = 30) grade = 'A';always evaluates to true

false

The expression:(ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z')evaluates to false if either ch <'A' or ch >= 'Z'.

false

The expression in a switch statement should evaluate to a value of the simple data type.

false

The expression !(x>0) is true only if x is a negative number

false

in C++, both ! and != are logical operators

true

The order in which statements execute in a program is called the flow of control.

false

It is a good idea to redefine cin and cout in your programs.

false

In the statement cin >> x;, x can be a variable or an expression.

false

The following statements will result in input failure if the input values are not on a separate line. (Assume that x and y are int variables.) cin >> x;cin >> y;

true

The number of input data extracted by cin and >> depends on the number of variables appearing in the cin statement.

false

The extraction operator >> skips only all leading blanks when searching for the next data in the input stream.

true

When reading data into a char variable, after skipping any leading whitespace characters, the extraction operator >> finds and stores only the next character; reading stops after a single character.

true

Entering a char value into an int variable causes serious errors, called input failure.

false

If input failure occurs in a C++ program, the program terminates immediately and displays an error message.

false

In an output statement, each occurrence of endl advances the cursor to the end of the current line on an output device.

true

You can use the function getline to read a string containing blanks.
