Total Questions : 10
Question 1.

Which is correct with respect to size of the datatypes?


  1.    char > int < float
  2.    int < char > float
  3.    char < int < float
  4.    char < int < double
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> char < int < double

The char has lesser bytes than int and int has lesser bytes than double whereas int and float 

can potentially have same sizes. 


Question 2.


What is the output of this program?


1.
#include
2.
using namespace std;
3.
int main()
4.
{
5.
float f1 = 0.5;
6.
double f2 = 0.5;
7.
if (f1 == 0.5f)
8.
cout
  1.    equal
  2.    not equal
  3.    compile time error
  4.    runtime error
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> equal

0.5f results in 0.5 to be stored in floating point representations.
Output:
$ g++ float.cpp
$ a.out
equal


Question 3.

Which is used to indicate single precision value?


  1.    F or f
  2.    L or l
  3.    either a or b
  4.    neither a or b
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> F or f

None.


Question 4.


What is the output of the following program?


1.
#include
2.
using namespace std;
3.
int main()
4.
{
5.
float i = 123.0f;
6.
cout
  1.    123.00
  2.    1.23
  3.    123
  4.    compile time error
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 123

The value 123 is printed because of its precision.
$ g++ float.cpp
$ a.out
123


Question 5.


What is the output of this program?


1.
#include
2.
#include
3.
using namespace std;
4.
int main()
5.
{
6.
cout
  1.    0.11
  2.    0.10000000000000001
  3.    0.100001
  4.    compile time error
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.10000000000000001

The double had to truncate the approximation due to it’s limited memory, which resulted in a number 

that is not exactly 0.1.
Output:
$ g++ float2.out
$ a.out
0.10000000000000001


Question 6.

Which of the following is a valid floating point literal?


  1.    f287.333
  2.    F287.333
  3.    287.e2
  4.    287.3.e2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 287.e2

To make a floating point literal, we should attach a suffix of ‘f’ or ‘F’ and there should not be any 

blank space.


Question 7.

What is the range of the floating point numbers?


  1.    -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38
  2.    -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+34
  3.    -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+36
  4.    -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+32
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38

None.


Question 8.


What is the output of this program?


1.
#include
2.
using namespace std;
3.
int main()
4.
{
5.
float num1 = 1.1;
6.
double num2 = 1.1;
7.
if (num1 == num2)
8.
cout
  1.    harvard
  2.    stanford
  3.    compile time error
  4.    runtime error
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> harvard

Float store floating point numbers with 8 place accuracy and requires 4 bytes of Memory. Double 

has 16 place accuracy having size of 8 bytes.
Output:
$ g++ float3.cpp
$ a.out
harvard


Question 9.

Which of the following is not one of the sizes of the floating point types?


  1.    short float
  2.    float
  3.    long double
  4.    double
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> short float

Floating point types occur in only three sizes-float, long double and double.


Question 10.

Which of three sizes of floating point types should be used when extended precision is required?


  1.    float
  2.    double
  3.    long double
  4.    extended float
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> long double

Float for single precision, double for double precision and long double for extended precision.
