Exercises 10.16 Multiple Choice Exercises

Answer the following Multiple Choice questions to assess what you have learned in this chapter.

1.

Suppose you are collecting data for a science experiment. You are to perform three trials of eight temperature readings measured in degrees fahrenheit to the nearest hundredth and initialized to freezing. Choose the vector that has the proper amount of storage for this scenario.

🔗

vector<int> temps (24, 32.00);
🔗
We can’t declare the vector as an integer type because all temperature readings will be truncated.
vector<double> temps (24, 32.00);
🔗
First comes the vector size, then the initial values.
vector<double> temps (0.00, 24);
🔗
Freezing is 32 degrees fahrenheit. The order of parameters is incorrect.
vector<double> temps (32, 24.00);
🔗
This statement creates a vector size 32 with elements initialized to 24.00 degress fahrenheit.

🔗

2.

Suppose the following code is run:

🔗

vector<string> lauren = {"happy", "to", "you", "September", "birthday", "girl"}

How would you save the string "birthday" from lauren to the variable nurse?

🔗

nurse = lauren[4]
🔗
Vectors are zero-indexed, so the fifth element is the fourth index.
nurse = lauren[5]
🔗
Remember, vectors are zero-indexed!
nurse = lauren[6]
🔗
Remember, vectors are zero-indexed!
nurse = lauren(4)
🔗
This is not proper vector indexing.
nurse = lauren(5)
🔗
This is not proper vector indexing. Also, vectors are zero-indexed.

🔗

3.

What gets printed when the following code is run:

🔗

vector<string> chant = {"Hail", "to", "the", "victors", "valiant"};
chant[0]=chant[3];
chant[3]=chant[0];
chant[1]=chant[0];

for ( size_t i = 0; i < chant.size(); i++ ) {
     cout << chant[1][i] << "  ";
}

victors victors the victors valiant
🔗
Although this is the final version of chant, we are not printing chant!
error! we run into an error somewhere in the execution due to an out of bounds access.
🔗
Remember, chant at index 1 is no longer “hail”.
v i c t o r s
🔗
You are thinking of the correct word but consider upto what index we print.
v i c t o
🔗
Correct! we print the first 5 letters of the string at index 1 which is “victo”.

🔗

4.

Select all of the following statments that correctly make a copy of lauren.

🔗

vector<string> lauren = {"happy", "to", "you", "September", "birthday", "girl"}

How would you save the string "birthday" from lauren to the variable nurse?

🔗

vector<string> harry (lauren)
🔗
This syntax is correct, but isn’t used often.
vector<string> lauren (ella)
🔗
You make a copy of the vector in parentheses.
vector<string> lauren = mariah
🔗
Remember how assignment statements work!
vector<katie> string = lauren
🔗
This is not proper syntax.
vector<string> mariah = lauren
🔗
This is the most common syntax.

🔗

5.

What is the value of nums after the following code executes?

🔗

int main() {
    vector<int> nums = {0, 8, 5, 1, 4, 3};
    for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        if (nums[i] % 2 == 0) {
           nums[i]--;
        }
        nums[i] = nums[i] * 2;
    }
    cout << nums[1];
}

{0, 8, 5, 1, 4, 3}
🔗
nums is modified inside of the loop.
{0, 16, 10, 2, 8, 6}
🔗
Take a look at the conditional.
{0, 16, 8, 0, 8, 4}
🔗
Take a closer look at the conditional.
{-2, 14, 10, 2, 6, 6}
🔗
All even numbers were decremeneted, then all numbers were multiplied by 2.
{2, 18, 10, 2, 10, 6}
🔗
Take a closer look at what happens inside of the conditional.

🔗

6.

Multiple Response Select all ways to print out the contents of ryan without going out of bounds.

🔗

vector<int> ryan = {2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 0, 0, 5, 4};

for (int i = 0; i < ryan.size(); ++i) {
    cout << ryan[i] << " ";
}

When we deal with the size function, we can’t use type int.

for (size_t j = 0; j < ryan.size(); j++) {
    cout << ryan[j] << " ";
}

When we deal with the size function, we must use type size_t.

for (int k = 0; k < 8; ++k) {
    cout << ryan[k] << " ";
}

There are 9 elements, numbered 0 through 8, but here we only iterate through 8 of them.

for (int n = 0; n < 9; n++) {
    cout << ryan[n] << " ";
}

There are 9 elements numbered 0 through 8, and this statement iterates over all of them.

for (int m = 0; m <= 8; ++m) {
    cout << ryan[m] << " ";
}

There are 9 elements numbered 0 through 8, and this statement iterates over all of them.

🔗

7.

Suppose you want ryan to have the value

🔗

vector<int> ryan = {2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};

What vector functions will you use to achieve this, and how many times will you use them? Keep in mind, ryan is currently the following vector of integers.

🔗

vector<int> ryan = {2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 0, 0, 5, 4};

Use push_back 4 times with no arguments to get rid of the last 4 elements, then use push_back 3 times with arguments to specify which values you want to add to the end.
🔗
You’ll need to use two different functions to accomplish this task.
Use push_back 4 times with no arguments to get rid of the last 4 elements, then use pop_back 3 times with arguments to specify which values you want to add to the end.
🔗
push_backpushes new items onto the end of the vector, and pop_back pops old items off the end of the vector.

8.

Suppose you are randomly assigning students to discussions 1-8. How would you do this correctly? Assume you have alreay implemented the following code.

🔗

int x = random();

```
int y = x % 7;
y = y + 1;
```
The first part creates a random number between 0 and 7 (8 numbers) and the second part adds 1 so that our random number is actually between 1 and 8.
```
int y = x % 8;
y = y + 1;
```
The first part creates a random number between 0 and 8 (9 numbers). This is too many.
```
int y = x % 7;
```
This creates a random number between 0 and 7 (8 numbers), which are not the numbers we are looking for.
```
int y = x % 8;
```
The first part creates a random number between 0 and 8 (9 numbers). This is too many, and not the numbers we are looking for.

9.

Suppose you have defined the fizzBuzz function as the following

🔗

int fizzBuzz(const vector<int> & vec, int num1, int num2) {
    int count = 0;

        if (vec[i] % num1 == 0 && vec[i] % num2 == 0) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

        pos = vec[i].find(" ");
        if (vec[i][pos + 1] == c) {
            count++;
        }

    for (size_t i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++) {
        for (size_t c = 0; c < vec[i].size(); c++) {
            if (vec[i][c] == let) {
