10 Questions
What is the significance of the ::
operator in resolving variable naming conflicts between global and local scopes?
It is used to specify the global scope, ensuring that the global variable is accessed.
Why is the double
data type preferred by the program when the values of float
and double
are exactly the same?
Because double
is a more precise data type and can represent a wider range of values.
How can you specify a literal value as a float
instead of double
in C++?
By appending f
to the literal value, e.g. 22.89f
.
What is the purpose of a reference variable in C++?
To provide an alternative name for an existing variable.
What is typecasting, and how is it used in C++?
Typecasting is a way to change the data type of a variable, and it is used to explicitly convert a value from one type to another.
What is the effect of casting a float
value to an int
in C++?
The fractional part of the float
value is truncated, resulting in an integer value.
Can a variable have multiple names in C++? If so, how is this achieved?
Yes, through the use of reference variables, which provide alternative names for existing variables.
What is the purpose of the &
symbol in the context of reference variables?
It is used to declare a reference variable, indicating that it is an alias for an existing variable.
How does the compiler distinguish between float
and double
literals when their values are the same?
By the presence of the f
suffix, which indicates a float
literal, whereas the absence of the suffix implies a double
literal.
What is the significance of the l
suffix in the context of long double
literals?
It is used to indicate that the literal value is a long double
, which has a larger range and precision than double
.
