Q.No.1.
a.Differentiate between primary memory and secondary memory.. Give examples
of each type of memory.
A)The memory inside the CPU is primary memory (main memory) and the memory
outside it is known as secondary(auxiliary) memory.
Primary Memory: RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read only
Memory) comes under primary memory. RAM is volatile memory and ROM is
non volatile memory. All the data and programs must be stored in RAM for
execution. But the content of RAM is not permanent.
Eg: RAM, ROM.
Secondary Memory: Since primary memory has a limited storage capacity and is
not permanent, secondary storage devices are used to store large amount of data
permanently. There are various types of secondary devices available these days.
Eg: Hard disks, Floppy disks ----- Magnetic Media
CD ROMS, DVDs ----- Optical Media
b. What is the difference between semantics error and syntax error? Give an example of each.
3
A) 1.Syntax Errors: Syntax errors occur when rules of a programming language are misused.
Syntax refers to formal rules governing the construction of valid statements in a language.
Eg: int a,b //Did not keep ; (semicolon) at the end of statement.
2.Semantics Error: Semantic errors occur when statements are not meaningful.
Semantics refers to the set of rules which give the meaning of a statement.
Eg: X * Y = Z;
(Siva plays Guitar is Syntactically and Semantically correct but
Guitar plays Siva is Syntactically correct but Semantically incorrect).
c. What do you meant by a lexical unit? Give an example.
A) Token: The smallest individual unit in a program is known as a token (Lexical Unit).
There are 5 types of tokens.
(i) Keywords (ii) Identifiers (iii) Literals (iv) Punctuators (v) Operators

Q.No.3
a. 4.Differentiate between object oriented programming and procedural oriented
programming with the help of examples of each.
3
A. Procedure Oriented Programming:
A program in a procedural language is a list of instructions where each statement tells the computer
to do something. The focus is on the processing. There is no much security for the data.
Object Oriented Programming:
The object oriented approach views a problem in terms of objects involved rather than
procedure for doing it. In object oriented programming, object represents an entity that can store data
and has its interface through functions
b.Distinguish between if and switch statement.
A)The if-else and switch both are selection statements and they both let you select
an alternative out of given many alternatives by testing an expression.
But there are some differences in their operations.
(i) The switch statement differs from the if statement in that switch can only test
for equality whereas if can evaluate a relational or logical expression. Ie multiple
conditions.
(ii) The switch statement selects its branches by testing the value of same variable
whereas the if else construction lets you use a series of expressions that may
involve unrelated variables and complex expressions.
(iii) The if-else can handle ranges whereas switch cannot.
c.Differentiate between call by value and call by reference with help of an example.
A)(i)In call by value, actual arguments will be copied into the formal perameters.
In call by reference, formal perameters are references to the actual arguments.
(ii)In call by value, if any modification is occurred to the formal perameter, that
change will not reflect back to the actual argument.
In call by reference, if any modification is occurred to the formal perameter
(reference to the actual argument), the actual argument value will be changed.
(iii) We should go for call by value when we dont want to modify the original value.
We should go for call by value when we want to modify the original value.
(iv) Example:
void Change(int a, int &b)
{ a= 2*a;
b=20;
}
Here a is called by call by value method and b is called by call by reference
So as the value of a is changed, actual argument for a will not be changed,
as the value of b is changed, actual argument for b will be changed
d.Write the names of the header files of the following functions.
i)getch() ii) isalpha() iii)strcpy() iv)sqrt()
A) (i) getch( ) - conio.h (ii)isalpha( ) ctype.h

(iii)strcpy( ) - string.h (iv)sqrt( ) - math.h

Answer Key
Q.No.1
a. My Computer is used to viewing the contents of a single folder or drive. Also the things we
have on our computer Your Programs, Documents and data files, for example- are all
accessible from form one place called My Computer.
b. Types of operating system i. Single User ii. Multiuser iii. Time Sharing iv. Real Time v. Multiprocessing vi.
Interactive
c. An operating system is a program which acts as an interface between a user and the Hardware.
Functions- i. Process Management and Storage(Memory) Management.
Note. Students has to explain both in brief
d. An interpreter converts source program(HLL) into object program(LLL) line by line whereas
compiler converts source program into object program in one go and once the program is error
free it can be executed later .
Q.No.2
a. An error in logic or arithmetic that must be detected at run time is called run time error. For
example any number is divided by zero (c=a/0) is run time error
b. if statement can perform only true condition and there is no option for false condition while if-else
statement can perform both true as well as false condition . Example,
if(a<b) cout<< a is greater than b in this code for false condition no statement is given
if(a<b) cout<< a is greater than b
else
cout<< b is greater than a here for both option either true or false output will come
c.
d. Comments in c++ can be given in two way
Single line comment which can be given by using the symbol - //
Example- // Program to find the sum of two numbers
And Multi line comment which can be given by using the symbol /*.*/
Example -- /* this is the way
To give multiline Comment */
e. Header files are the files in which some pre programed program will be stored by the
developer of the language which will help the user of to develop their program. If the header
file is written in angular bracket(<>) compiler will search it in C++ library only while in case
of the header file will be searched throughout the database.
Q.No.3
a. i , ii ,v , vi are invalid & iii, iv are valid declaration
b. m=5 ::m=5
m=20 ::m=6
m=7 ::m=20
c. True and false
d. String.h and stdio.h
e. The conditional operator (? :) is a ternary operator (it takes three operands). The conditional operator
works as follows:
The first operand is implicitly converted to bool. It is evaluated and all side effects are completed
before continuing.
If the first operand evaluates to true (1), the second operand is evaluated.
If the first operand evaluates to false (0), the third operand is evaluated.
The result of the conditional operator is the result of whichever operand is evaluated the second or the
third. Only one of the last two operands is evaluated in a conditional expression
Ex.- // expre_Expressions_with_the_Conditional_Operator.cpp
122
// compile with: /EHsc

// Demonstrate conditional operator
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int i = 1, j = 2;
cout << ( i > j ? i : j ) << " is greater." << endl;
}
f. Operator / is used to find the quotient while % is used to find the remainder in the c++ expression for ex.
int a=5,b=2,c; if c=a/b the result of c will be 2 and if c=a%b; the value of c will be 1
Q.No.4
a. A function prototype is a declaration of the function that tells the program about the type of
the value returned by the function and the number and the type of arguments.
The prototype declaration looks just like a function definition except that it has no body.
Ex. void abc();
b. break makes the compiler to transfer the control out of the loop...
for
{....
if
{
true/false condition
break;
}
}
here;
the control is transferred to "here"
continue makes the compiler to execute the next iteration of the loop
for
{
Condition..
continue;
****;
}
**** will not b executed and next iteration will happen
continue can be given inside an if condition
e. to j .
