Questions and Answers

What are the building blocks of a C++ program?

  • Modules (correct)
  • Methods
  • Functions and Classes (correct)
  • Components

    • What does the function sqrt do?

    The sqrt function calculates the square root of its input argument.

    What is the purpose of the ceil() function in C++?

  • Rounds a number to the smallest integer not greater than the input.

    What is the role of the return keyword in a function definition?

    <p>The <code>return</code> keyword is used to send a value back to the part of the program that called the function. If there is no value to return, use <code>return;</code>.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the purpose of a function call?

    <p>A function call executes the code within the function's definition and potentially receives data back.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the purpose of header files in C++?

    <p>Header files provide function prototypes, data type definitions, and constants that are needed by multiple parts of the program.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the purpose of the inline keyword in C++?

    <p>To suggest that the compiler should insert the function's code directly into the calling code, reducing function call overhead.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the purpose of function templates in C++?

    <p>Function templates are used to create generic functions that can work with different data types without requiring separate definitions for each data type.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the purpose of the unary scope resolution operator (::) in C++?

    Study Notes

    Program Components in C++

    • Divide and conquer: construct programs from smaller components (modules) for easier management.
    • Modules: functions and classes.
    • Pre-packaged modules from standard libraries, and programmer-defined functions and classes.
    • Functions invoked by function calls, requiring function name and needed information (arguments).
    • Function definitions are written once.
    • Functions are hidden from other functions.

    Math Library Functions

    • Used for common mathematical calculations.
    • Include the <cmath> header file.
    • Called by writing functionName (argument) or functionName(argument1, argument2, ...);
    • Examples: cout << sqrt( 900.0 ); (square root) prints 30.
    • All math library functions return a double.

    Function Arguments

    • Can be constants (sqrt(4)), variables (sqrt(x)), or expressions (sqrt(sqrt(x))).

    Function Prototypes

    • Function prototype contains function name, parameters, and return type.
    • Needed if function definition appears after function call.
    • Prototype must match function definition.
    • Example: double maximum ( double, double, double );

    Header Files

    • Contain function prototypes, data types, and constants.
    • Typically end with .h (e.g., <cmath>).
    • Programmer can create custom header files.
