How many parameter(s) function getline() takes?
► 0
► 1
► 2
► 3
inFile.getLine(name, maxChar, stopChar); The first argument is a character array, the array should be large enough to hold the complete line. The second argument is the maximum number of characters to be read. The third one is the character if we want to stop somewhere.

CS201 - Introduction to Programming - Question No: 5 ( M a r k s: 1 ) http://vuzs.net
For which values of the integer _value will the following code becomes an infinite loop?
int number=1;
while (true) {
cout << number;
if (number == 3) break;
number +=integer_value; }
► any number other than 1 or 2
► only 0
► only 1
► only 2
Rational:
number +=integer_value
above line decide the fate of loop so any thing other then zero leads to value of 3 which will quite the loop. Only zero is the value which keeps the loop infinite.

Each pass through a loop is called a/an
► enumeration
► Iteration
► culmination
► pass through
CS201 - Introduction to Programming - Question No: 7 ( M a r k s: 1 ) http://vuzs.net
A continue statement causes execution to skip to
► the return 0; statement
► the first statement after the loop
► the statements following the continue statement
► the next iteration of the loop
Ref. continue statement is used, when at a certain stage, you don’t want to execute the remaining statements inside your loop and want to go to the start of the loop.

What will be the correct syntax to initialize all elements of two-dimensional array to value 0?
► int arr[2][3] = {0,0} ;
► int arr[2][3] = {{0},{0}} ;
► int arr[2][3] = {0},{0} ;
► int arr[2][3] = {0} ;

How many bytes will the pointer intPtr of type int move in the following statement?
intPtr += 3 ;
► 3 bytes
► 6 bytes
► 12 bytes
► 24 bytes
ref. one int is 4 bytes so 4*3 = 12 bytes movement.

Write a function BatsmanAvg which calculate the average of a player (Batsman), Call this function in main program (Function). Take the input of Total Runs made and Total number of matches played from the user in main function
#include <iostream.h> // allows program to output data to the screen
// function main begins program execution
int BatsmanAvg(int TotalRuns, int TotalMatches) ;
main()
{
int stopit;
int TotalRuns, TotalMatchesPlayed =0;
cout << "Please Entere the total Runs made :" ;
cin>> TotalRuns ;
cout << "Please Entere the total match played :" ;
cin>> TotalMatchesPlayed ;
cout << "\n Avg Runs = " << BatsmanAvg(TotalRuns,TotalMatchesPlayed);
cin>> stopit; //pause screen to show output
}
int BatsmanAvg(int TotalRuns, int TotalMatches)
