Section 9.3 Compilation and Linking Process 9.3 Q1: Which of the following statements is false (assume we're referring to class Time)? a.Often a class’s interface and implementation will be created and compiled by one programmer and used by a separate programmer who implements the client code that uses the class. b. To hide the class’s member-function implementation details, the class-implementation programmer would provide the client-code programmer with the header Time.h (which specifies the class’s interface and data members) and the Time object code (i.e., the machine-code instructions that represent Time’s member functions). c. The client-code programmer is not given Time.cpp, so the client remains unaware of how Time’s member functions are implemented. d. The client-code programmer needs to know only Time’s interface to use the class and must be able to link its object code.

ANS: a. A class’s interface and implementation must be created and compiled the programmer who implements the client code that uses the class. Actually, often a class’s interface and implementation will be created and compiled by one programmer and used by a separate programmer who implements the client code that uses the class.

9.3 Q2: Which of the following statements is false (ssume we're referring to class Time)? a. Since the interface of the class is part of the class definition in the Time.h header, the client-code programmer must have access to this file and must #include it in the client’s source-code file. b. When the client code is compiled, the compiler uses the class definition in Time.h to ensure that the main function creates and manipulates objects of class Time correctly. c. The linker’s output is the executable Time application that users can execute to create and manipulate a Time object. d. Compilers and IDEs typically invoke the linker for you after compiling your code.

To inherit a base class’s constructors, you write the following line of code in the derived class definition (BaseClass is the base class’s name): using BaseClass::BaseClass; b.

Labeling a function noexcept indicates to client-code programmers that there’s no need to call the function in a try block. c. For a const member function, you must place noexcept after const. d. If a function that’s declared noexcept calls another function that throws an exception or executes a throw statement, the program returns to its caller.

C++11’s <string> header now contains functions for converting from numeric values to string objects and from string objects to numeric values. b. The to_string function returns the string representation of its numeric argument and is overloaded for types int, unsigned int, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, float, double and long double. c. Each C++11 function that converts a string to an integral type receives two parameters—a string containing the characters to convert and a pointer to a size_t variable where the function stores the index of the first character that was not converted (a null pointer, by default). d. All of the above statements are true.

ANS: c. Each C++11 function that converts a string to an integral type receives two parameters—a string containing the characters to convert and a pointer to a size_t variable where the function stores the index of the first character that was not converted (a null pointer, by default). Actually, each C++11 function that converts a string to an integral type receives three parameters—the third is an int from 2 to 36 representing the number’s base (base 10, by default).

22.3 Q3[C++11]: Which of the following statements is false? a. Names for structure types are often defined with typedef to create more readable type names. b. The statement typedef Card* CardPtr;

defines the new type name CardPtr as a synonym for type Card*. c.

Section 24.3.5 Example: Multithreaded Execution of Two Compute-Intensive Tasks 24.3.5 Q1: Which of the following statements is false? a. The thread launch policy is a value from the launch enum—either launch::async, launch::deferred or both separated by a bitwise OR (|) operator. b. The thread launch policy value launch::async indicates that a specified function should execute in the current thread. c. Function async returns an object of class template future that you can use when the thread completes execution to obtain data returned by the function that async executes. The thread launch policy value launch::deferred indicates that a specified function should execute in the same thread when the program uses the future object returned by function template async to get the result. d. To ensure that a program does not terminate until its threads terminate and to receive the results from each thread, we call each future’s get member function. This causes the program to wait until the corresponding threads complete execution—known as joining the threads—before executing the remaining code in main.

ANS: b. The thread launch policy value launch::async indicates that a specified function should execute in the current thread. [The correct statement is: The thread launch policy value launch::async indicates that a specified function should execute in a separate thread.]

As of C++11, member function push_back is now overloaded with a version that takes a(n) ________. This allows the preceding call to push_back to take the storage allocated for the temporary string and reuse it directly for the new element in the vector. The temporary string will be destroyed when the function returns, so there’s no need for it to keep its content. a. const pointer b. rvalue reference c. rvalue pointer d. const reference ANS: b. rvalue reference Section 24.5.2 Move-Enabling Class Array 24.5.2 Q1: In general, move constructors and move assignment operators should not throw exceptions because they’re simply moving resources, not allocating new ones. For this reason, both the move constructor and move assignment operator are declared ________ in their prototypes and definitions. a. const b. nothrow c. noexcept d. noerror ANS: noexcept 24.5.2 Q2: Which of the following statements is true when a class contains both a copy constructor and a move constructor. a. The compiler prefers to use the copy constructor. b. The compiler prefers the move constructor. c. The programmer explicitly specifies which to use in each case. d.

A class with multiple base classes can inherit constructors from any of its base classes. b. If a class inherits constructors with the same signature from two or more base classes, then the derived class must define its own version of that constructor; otherwise, a compilation error occurs. c. When a derived class is inheriting constructors from a base class and explicitly defines a constructor, if a default constructor is needed, the derived class must define a default constructor either by using = default to tell the compiler to generate the default constructor or by explicitly defining a constructor that can be called with no arguments. d. All of the above.

Section 24.14 Regular Expressions with the regex Library 24.14 Q1: Which of the following statements is false? a. Regular expressions are specially formatted strings that are used to find patterns in text. b. Regular expressions can be used to validate data to ensure that it is in a particular format. c. The regex library algorithm regex_search, returns true if any part of an arbitrary string matches the regular expression. d. Character classes can be used with regular expressions. Character classes are C++ classes with escape sequences that represent groups of characters that might appear in a string.

ANS: d. Character classes can be used with regular expressions. Character classes are C++ classes with escape sequences that represent groups of characters that might appear in a string.

[The correct statement is: Character classes are not C++ classes—rather they’re simply escape sequences that represent groups of characters that might appear in a string.]

Section 24.14.1 Regular Expression Example 24.14.1 Q1: Assuming strings of the format: "Robert’s birthday is 10-22-90"

The quantifier {n,m} in a regular expression matches between n and m (inclusive) occurrences of the preceding pattern. c. The question mark (?) quantifier matches one occurrence of the pattern that it quantifies. d. A set of braces containing one number, {n}, matches exactly n occurrences of the pattern it quantifies.

The set of braces containing two numbers, {n,m}, matches between n and m occurrences (inclusively) of the pattern that it quantifies. b. All of the regular expression quantifiers are greedy; they’ll match as many occurrences of the pattern as possible until the pattern fails to make a match. c.
