What problem does the namespace feature solve?
What problem does the namespace feature solve? Multiple providers of libraries might use common global identifiers causing a name collision when an application tries to link with two or more such libraries. The namespace feature surrounds a library’s external declarations with a unique namespace tha...

What is the Standard Template Library (STL)?
What is the Standard Template Library (STL)? A library of container templates approved by the ANSI committee for inclusion in the standard C++ specification. A programmer who then launches into a discussion of the generic programming model, iterators, allocators, algorithms, and such, has a higher t...

What is an explicit constructor? C++
What is an explicit constructor? C++ A conversion constructor declared with the explicit keyword. The compiler does not use an explicit constructor to implement an implied conversion of types. It’s purpose is reserved explicitly for construction.

When is a template a better solution than a base class?
When is a template a better solution than a base class? When you are designing a generic class to contain or otherwise manage objects of other types, when the format and behavior of those other types are unimportant to their containment or management, and particularly when those other types are unkn...

Explain the ISA and HASA class relationships. How would you implement each in a class design?
Explain the ISA and HASA class relationships. How would you implement each in a class design? A specialized class "is" a specialization of another class and, therefore, has the ISA relationship with the other class. An Employee ISA Person. This relationship is best implemented with inheritance. Empl...

What is the difference between a copy constructor and an overloaded assignment operator?
What is the difference between a copy constructor and an overloaded assignment operator? A copy constructor constructs a new object by using the content of the argument object. An overloaded assignment operator assigns the contents of an existing object to another existing object of the same class.

What does extern mean in a function declaration?
What does extern mean in a function declaration? It tells the compiler that a variable or a function exists, even if the compiler hasn’t yet seen it in the file currently being compiled. This variable or function may be defined in another file or further down in the current file.

How do I declare an array of N pointers to functions returning pointers to functions returning pointers to characters?
How do I declare an array of N pointers to functions returning pointers to functions returning pointers to characters?

What is the difference between char a[] = “string”; and char *p = “string”; ? Answer1 a[] = “string”; char *p = “string”; The difference is this: p is pointing to a constant string, you can never safely say p[3]=’x'; however you can always say a[3]=’x'; char a[]=”string”; - character array init...

What’s the auto keyword good for?
What’s the auto keyword good for? Answer1 Not much. It declares an object with automatic storage duration. Which means the object will be destroyed at the end of the objects scope. All variables in functions that are not declared as static and not dynamically allocated have automatic storage duratio...

What is the difference between char a[] = “string”; and char *p = “string”;?
What is the difference between char a[] = “string”; and char *p = “string”;? In the first case 6 bytes are allocated to the variable a which is fixed, where as in the second case if *p is assigned to some other value the allocate memory can change.

What does extern mean in a function declaration?
What does extern mean in a function declaration? Using extern in a function declaration we can make a function such that it can used outside the file in which it is defined. An extern variable, function definition, or declaration also makes the described variable or function usable by the succeeding...
