exceptions?



PART B - (5 x six = 30 marks)



ans any 5 ques..

All ques. carry equal marks.

every ans should not exceed 200 words.



13. explain the merits and demerits of object-oriented

methodologies.



14. elaborate escape sequences? Write a program to

output messages in double quotes.



15. elaborate the differences ranging from passing

parameters by value and by pointers? provide suitable

illustrations.



16. elaborate virtual destructors? How do they differ

from normal destructors? provide suitable illustrations.



17. discuss the different methods of performing

formated stream I/O operation.



18. Write a program to demonstrate the catching of all

exceptions.



19. discuss the different file stream classes needed for

file manipulations.



PART C - (4 x 10 = 40 marks)



ans any 4 ques..

All ques. carry equal marks.

every ans should not exceed 500 words.

various orders.



21. elaborate recursive functions? Write a program to

obtain ncr and npr values.



22. Write a program for finding the smallest and

largest in a list of N numbers. Accept the value of N at

runtime and allocate the necessary amount of storage

for storing numbers.



23. Create a class, which keeps track of the number of

its instances use static data members, constructors, and

destructor to maintain updated info about

active objects.



24. elaborate the various forms of inheritance

supported in C++? discuss them with an example.

and random files?



(b) elaborate the differences ranging from ASCll and

binary files?
