Question No: 18 ( Marks: 1 )

What is the ASCII code of null character

Answer: The ASCII code of null character is all zeros.

Question No: 19 ( Marks: 2 )

What is a truth Table?

These are still a tool available for analyzing logical expressions. We will read logic design in future, which
is actually to do with chips and gates. How we put these things together. In logic design, there are certain
techniques that are known as minimization techniques. These are used to make a big circuit with the use of
minimum chips. These minimization techniques deal with Boolean algebra i.e. logic. These techniques are
also used in programming. So we should keep breadth in our vision while maintaining a horizontal
integration. We should always think outside the box. There is a way of thinking for us as programmers.
We always look at problems, slice and dice them and come up with solutions. Programming as a skill is
infact important. It helps us think, from a logical perspective. How can we do it is something else. We can
get it from the reference books of the language or from online help in the compiler. This part that how can
we do is always changing. New languages will be evolved for our help. On the other hand, what is to be
done depends on our logical skills and fundamental knowledge. We have to develop this thing.

Question No: 20 ( Marks: 3 )

How learning to design programs is like play soccer?

“Learning to design programs is like learning to play soccer. A player must learn to trap a ball, to dribble
with a ball, to pass, and to shoot a ball. Once the player knows those basic skills, the next goals are to
learn to play a position, to play certain strategies, to choose among feasible strategies, and, on occasion, to
create variations of a strategy because none fits. “

Question No: 21 ( Marks: 5 )

What is the purpose of the default statement

The default statement is optional. If there is no case which matches the value of the switch statement, then
the statements of default are executed.

Question No: 22 ( Marks: 10 )

Write a program which contains a user defined f takes 3 integer arguments hours, minutes and seconds and ret

ConvertInSeconds that

Input variables hours , minutes and seconds in main program and call the
fun ConvertInSeconds and display the number of seconds returned by function.

Hint:
1 hour =60 minutes
1 minute =60 seconds

# include <iostream.h>
int ConvertInSeconds(int hours, int mins, int secs);
main()
{
int stopit;
int hours, mins, secs = 0 ;
cout << "Please Entere the Hours : " ;
cin>> hours ;
cout << "Please Entere the Minutes : " ;
cin>> mins ;
cout << "Please Entere the seconds : " ;
cin>> secs ;
cout << "\n Total Seconds = " << ConvertInSeconds(hours, mins, secs);
cin>> stopit; //pause screen to show output
}
int ConvertInSeconds(int hours, int mins, int secs)
{
return ( (hours*60*60)+(mins*60)+(secs));
}
