Question 37

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

65. // Find the error in this program.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    int num1 = 0, num2 = 10, result;
    num1++;
    result = ++(num1 + num2);
    cout << num1 << " " << num2 << " " << result;
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 37

65. The statement result = ++(num1 + num2); is invalid.

Question 38

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

66. // This program adds two numbers entered by the user.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    { int num1, num2;
    char again;
    while (again == 'y' || again == 'Y')
    cout << "Enter a number: ";
    cin >> num1;
    cout << "Enter another number: ";
    cin >> num2;
    cout << "Their sum is << (num1 + num2) << endl;
    cout << "Do you want to do this again? ";
    cin >> again;
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 38

66. The while loop tests the variable again before any values are stored in it.

The while loop is missing its opening and closing braces.

Question 39

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

67. // This program uses a loop to raise a number to a power.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    int num, bigNum, power, count;
    cout << "Enter an integer: ";
    cin >> num;
    cout << "What power do you want it raised to? ";
    cin >> power;
    bigNum = num;
    while (count++ < power);
    bigNum *= num;
    cout << "The result is << bigNum << endl;
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 39

67. The while statement should not end with a semicolon.
    It could also be argued that bigNum should be defined a long.
    count should be initialized to 1.

Question 40

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

68. // This program averages a set of numbers.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    int numCount, total;
    double average;
    cout << "How many numbers do you want to average? ";
    cin >> numCount;
    for (int count = 0; count < numCount; count++)
    {
    int num;
    cout << "Enter a number: ";
    cin >> num;
    total += num;
    count++;
    }
    average = total / numCount;
    cout << "The average is << average << endl;
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 40

The variable total is not initialized to 0.

The statement that calculates the average performs integer division. It should use a type cast to cast either total or numCount to a double.

The variable count is incremented in the for loop's update expression and again within the for loop.

Question 41

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

69. // This program displays the sum of two numbers.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    int choice, num1, num2;
    do
    {
    cout << "Enter a number: ";
    cin >> num1;
    cout << "Enter another number: ";
    cin >> num2;
    cout << "Their sum is " << (num1 + num2) << endl;
    cout << "Do you want to do this again?\n";
    cout << "1 = yes, 0 = no\n";
    cin >> choice;
    } while (choice = 1)
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 41

The expression tested by the do-while loop should be choice == 1 instead of choice = 1.

Question 42

Find the Errors. Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can.

70. // This program displays the sum of the numbers 1-100.
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    int count = 1, total;
    while (count <= 100)
    total += count;
    cout << "The sum of the numbers 1-100 is ";
    cout << total << endl;
    return 0;
    }</iostream>

Answer 42

The variable total is not initialized to 0.
The while loop does not change the value of count, so it iterates an infinite number of times.
