b) sprintf( szData , "i = %d" , i );
c) strcat( szData , i , "i = %d" );

7. What is wrong with the following code?

char szPassword[24];
gets(szPassword); // Get user password

d) None of these

8. What is the meaning of the following declaration?

float* pVar;

d) None of these

9. What is wrong with the following code?

int nValue = 25;
float* fAddr;

fAddr = &nValue;
*fAddr = *fAddr + 1;

a) It is illegal to use the expression *fAddr on the left side of an equals sign.
b) The pointer "fAddr" has not been loaded with the address of an object.
c) The pointer "fAddr" is of the wrong type (float*).
d) None of these

10. What is meant by the term "dereferencing?"

a) Finding the master inertial frame of reference
b) Accessing the memory contents addressed by a pointer
c) Finding the memory address of a value
d) None of the above

11. What will the output of the following code be?

double Zeta; // Holds ratio of alpha/w(nat)

Zeta = 0.707107; // Less than critically damped system
printf("Damping ratio = %10.1lf\n", Zeta );

a) Damping ratio = 0.707107
b) Damping ratio = 0.707
c) Damping ratio = 0.7
d) None of these

12. What library function should be used to compare character string arrays?

a) strcat
b) strlen
c) strcmp
d) None of these

13. What is something that can not be done with a VOID pointer?

a) Dereferencing
b) Assignment of pointer value
c) Type-casting pointer contents to another type
d) None of these

14. What character code is used to end all strings in C?

a) '\n'
b) '\0'
c) '\7'
d) None of these

15. What is special about the NULL pointer value?

a) The NULL pointer automatically dereferences the target object.
b) Arrays can only be accessed if a NULL pointer is used.
c) The NULL pointer is obtained when a disk I/O error occurs.
d) None of these

16. What information must be passed to the STRCPY() library routine?

a) The length of each string, and the address of each string.
b) The address of each string.
c) The length of one of the strings.
d) None of these

17. The instructions typed by a programmer that will be compiled and executed by the computer are called:

a) Source code
b) Machine code
c) Object code
d) None of the above

18. Given the following declaration:

int Values[4]={1,2,3,4};

What value will be returned if the expression "*(Values+2)" is evaluated?

a) 2
b) 1
c) 3
d) Insufficient information given to solve problem.

19. Given the following declaration:

int Values[25];

Which expression below is equivalent to: Values?

a) &Values[0]
b) Values[0]
c) Values[-1]
d) None of these

20. Given the following declaration:

NOTE

When you take Exam #2, you will also have to write some code. Make sure you can write functions given a behaviorial specification, properly call functions given a prototype, and work with pointers and arrays.
