Answer 19

At least one data member is a pointer.

Question 20

What is the right way to declare a copy constructor of a class if the name of the class is MyClass?

Answer 20

Question 21

A copy constructor is automatically built into any class that needs it.

Answer 21

false

Question 22

The capacity method of the vector class represents the number of items stored in the vector.

Answer 22

false

Question 23

Using the same dynamic array called ‘names’ from the previous question, assume that we have another pointer called ‘item’ that points to the some item in the array. Move ‘item’ to point to the NEXT item in the array.

Answers marked incorrect by the auto-grader will be manually reviewed for correctness and partial credit by your instructor.

Answer 23

item++;

Question 24

Assume that there is an integer variable called ‘size’ and that we have already asked the user to provide a value for the size of a dynamic array. Assume that we have created a dynamic array of strings called ‘names’ that has space for ‘size’ number of strings.

Delete the ‘names’ array.

Answer 26

true

Question 27

#include 
using namespace std; 
class Base1 { 
public: 
	Base1() 
	{ cout << " Base1's constructor called" << endl; }

	Base2() 
	{ cout << "Base2's constructor called" << endl; }

true

Question 35

The next item in a linked list can always be found by accessing the next physical location in memory.

Answer 35

false

Question 41

Which of the following statements is true (in C++)?

For a function to be virtual in a derived class, it must be virtual in the base class.
All of these statements are true. [except for “None of these…”]
If a virtual function has its parameters passed by reference, the actual parameter, not the formal parameter determines which function to use.
None of these statements is true.

Answer 41

All of these statements are true. [except for “None of these…”]

  None of these statements is true.  
  All of these statements are true.  
  Actual parameter may be an object from a derived class of the formal parameter.  
  Actual and corresponding formal parameter must be identical.  
  The formal parameter may be an object from a derived class of the actual parameter.
