1st PUC Computer Science Functions Two/Three Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
What are predefined functions? Name any two predefined functions.
Answer:
Predefined functions are functions that are built into the C++ Language to perform some standard operations. The functions that are stand-alone are used for general purposes and that are not dependant on any classes are stored in the Standard Function Library.
List of basic types of standard library functions:

  1. I/O Functions.
  2. String and Character Functions

Question 2.
Mention any two useful properties of functions.
Answer:

  1. It performs some well-defined task, which will be useful to other parts of the program.
  2. It might be useful to other programs as well; that is, we might be able to reuse it (and without having to rewrite it).

Question 3.
Explain any two advantages of functions.
Answer:
1. Modularity:
Functions facilitate the modular programming technique, i.e., functions can be used to divide a large bulky program into functionally independent modules or subprograms that can be tested, debugged and maintained independently.

2. Universal use:
User-defined functions can be made part of a library, in turn, which facilitates the usage of that function across other ‘C’ programs.

KSEEB Solutions

Question 2.
Write a short note on character functions.
Answer:
1. isalpha():
Returns a non-zero value if the argument is a A-Z or a-z letters.
For example, isalpha(‘a’) output: 1 means true isalpha(‘5’) output: 0 means false

2. islower():
Returns a non-zero value if argument is a small case alphabet.
For example, islower(‘a’) output: 1 islower(‘A’) output: 0

3. isupper():
it is a character function that returns a non-zero value if argument is an upper case alphabet.
For example, isupper(‘a’) output: 0 isupper(‘A’) output: 1

4. tolower( ):
It converts the capital alphabet character to lower case.
For example, tolower(‘A’) output: a

5. toupper( ):
It converts the lower case alphabet character to upper case.
For example, toupper(‘a’) output: A

Question 3.
Write a note on string handling functions.
Answer:
1. strlen( ) function:
It calculates the length of the given string and returns the number of characters in a string. The length does not include the NULL character.
Syntax: integer variable = strlen(string);

2. Strcpy( ) function:
It copies the content of one string to another. The strcpy( ) function works almost like a string assignment operator.
Syntax: strcpy(<stringl>,<string2>);
When strcpy( ) function is executed, it copies string2 to string1, String2 can be a character array or a character constant.

3. strcat() function:
It adds the characters of one string to the end of another string. It is used to join two strings together.
Syntax: strcat(string1, string2);
The contents of string2 are added attend in string 1, where string 1 is the target string and string 2 is the source string.

4. strrev() function:
It reverses the characters in a string.
Syntax: strrev(string);
eg: strrev(“ABCD”);
Output: DCBA

5. strlwr() function:
converts all characters in a string to lower (small letters) case.
Syntax: strlwr(string);
eg: strlwr(“BHARATH”)
Output: bharath.

Question 4.
Explain getline() function with a suitable example.
Answer:
getline() function is used to read the whole line of text that ends with a newline character.
Here getline() function is invoked for reading character input into the variable line. When we type \n, the reading is terminated or size-1 characters are read. The newline is accepted but converted to null character.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char city [50];
cout<< “City Name :“;
cin.getline(city, 50);
cout<< “City Name : “<< city << end1;
return 0;
}

Question 5.
Write a note on manipulators.
Answer:
Manipulator functions: Manipulator functions are special stream functions that change certain characteristics of the input and output. They are useful in the formatting of input and output streams.
Following are a few standard manipulators normally used in the stream classes:

  1. end1
  2. setbase
  3. setw
  4. setfill
  5. setprecision

1. end1:
The end1 is an output manipulator to generate a carriage return or line feed character. The end1 may be used several times in a C++ statement.
For example,
cout<< “ a “ << end1 << “b” << end1;
A program to display a message on two lines using the end1 manipulator and the corresponding output is given below.

2. setbase():
The setbase() manipulator is used to convert the base of one numeric value into another base. Dec, hex, and oct are the common base converters in C++.

3.  setw():
The setw ( ) stands for the set width. The setw ( ) manipulator is used to specify the minimum number of character positions on the output field a variable will consume. The general format of the setw manipulator function is setw( int w ).

4. setfill():
The setfill ( ) manipulator function is used to specify a different character to fill the unused field width of the value.

The general syntax of the setfill () manipulator is setfill( char f)

which changes the fill character to f. The default fill character is a space.

5.  setprccision():
The setprecision () is used to control the number of digits of an output stream display of a floating-point value.
The general syntax of the setprecision () manipulator is
setprecision (int p)
which sets the precision for floating-point insertions to p. The default precision is 6.
