Section A:
1. When a function is called,
what happens to program execution? [3 marks]
When a function is called, program execution jumps to the function. When the function returns, program execution returns to the caller at the statement immediately following the function call.
2.What is the difference
between an argument and a parameter? [3 marks]
An argument is a value passed to a function. A parameter is a variable that receives the value.
3. If a function requires a
parameter, where is it declared? [3 marks]
A parameter is declared after the function’s name, inside the parentheses.
Section B:
1.Show the two forms of the
return statement. [3 marks]
Here
are two forms of return:
return;
return value;
2.Can a void function return
a value? [3 marks]
No, void functions cannot return values.
3.Can a function call be part
of an expression? [3 marks]
A call to a non-void function can be used in an expression. When this happens. The function is executed so that its return value can be obtained.
Section C:
1. What are the main
differences between local and global variables? [3 marks]
A
local variable is known only within the block in which it is declared. It is
created upon entry into its block and destroyed when the block is left. A
global variable is declared outside all functions. It can be used by all
functions and exists during the entire lifetime of the program.
2.
Can a local variable be
declared anywhere within a block? [3 marks]
Yes, a local variable can be declared anywhere within a block as long as it is declared before it is used.
3. Does a local variable hold
its value between calls to the function in which it is declared? [3
marks]
No, local variables are destroyed when the function in which they are declared returns.
Section D:
1. What is a function
prototype? What is the purpose of a prototype? [3 marks]
A
prototype declares a function’s name, return type, and parameters. A prototype
tells the compiler how to generate code when the function is called and ensures
that it is called correctly.
2. Aside from main(), must all
function be prototyped? [3 marks]
Yes, all functions except for main() must be prototyped.
3. When you use a standard library
function, why must you include its header? [3 marks]
In addition to other things, a header includes the prototype for the library function.
4.
What is
the difference between function’s declaration and its definition?
Section E:
1. #include <iostream.h>
2. #include <string.h>
3. void main()
4. {
5. char password [10];
6. char n[20], name[20];
7.
8. cout<<"Please insert your name:";
9. cin>>name;
10.
strcpy(n,name);
11. cout<<n <<endl;
12. cout<<"Please enter your password";
13. cin>>password;
14.
15. if (strcmp (password, "12345") == 0)
16. cout<<"Access Granted !";
17. else
18. cout<<"Access Denied
!";
19. }
1. Compile the above code.
2. Build a
program that can calculate the volume and
area of the box. This program has
2 functions, which are function for assigning values of length, width and
depth, and function to calculate and
display the volume and area of the box.(Attach your output console and coding).
