p*=++p + --p/++p +p;

3. The following code segment should add the fifth and eight elements of the array and
display the answer as 56. However, the code has errors. Fix the code so that it
compiles and runs correctly. [2]
int s[]={2,22, 3,32,4,42,5,52};
if(s[3]%2==0)
int sum=s[5]+s[7];
[Link](sum);

4. John runs the following line of code, expecting the result to be 0, but instead, a floating-
point value is displayed. Identify the error and suggest how the statement can be
corrected.
[Link]([Link](2)/10); [2]

5. How many times will the loop be executed? What will be the output? [2]

 SECTION B
Answer any four questions from this Section.
Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so that
the logic of the program is clearly depicted. Flowcharts and algorithms are not required

Question 3 [15]

Design a class named Bill that contains the following members:

Data Members:
units, amt of int data type.
Member Functions:
Bill(int U) : Parameterized constructor to initialize units.

void show( ) : to display the units consumed and the bill amt.

void compute() : calculate the electricity bill amount based on the slab rates given
below.
1 to 100 units – Rs.10/unit
100 to 200 units – Rs.15/unit
200 to 300 units – Rs.20/unit
above 300 units – Rs.25/unit

In the main( ) create an object using the parametrized constructor, calculate the amt by
invoking the compute( ) function and invoke the show method () to display the Units consumed
and the bill amount.

Question 4 [15]

Write a program to input the height of 10 Students in feet and inches (like 5.8) and so on in a
single-dimensional array. Sort the heights in ascending order, using the bubble sort technique,
and display the sorted array.

Sample input:
Enter heights of 10 students (in [Link] format): 5.8 5.6 6.1 5.9 5.5 6.0 5.7 5.4 5.3 6.2
Sample output:
Heights sorted in ascending order: 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 5.9 6.0 6.1 6.2

Question 5 [15]

Write a program to accept a string and convert it into uppercase. Replace all the vowels in the
string with the character ‘#’ and display the new string.

Sample input: Enter a string: Hello World

Sample output: Modified String: H#LL# W#RLD

Question 6 [15]

Write a program to overload the function display() for the following tasks:

void display (char ch, int n) : displays the given character ch as per the given sample
n is the number of lines and ch is the character to be printed.
Sample input:
if ch = * and n = 5
Sample output:
The following pattern will be printed.
*****
****
***
**
*

int display(int a, int n) : returns the sum of the following series

𝑎2 + 𝑎4 + 𝑎6 + ⋯ … . . +𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠
Sample input: a = 2 n = 4
Sample output:
Sum of series: 22+24+26+28 is 340

Question 7 [15]

Write a program to accept a number and check if it’s a Peterson number or not.
A number is said to be Peterson if the sum of factorials of each digit is equal to the sum of the
number itself.
Sample input: Enter a number=145
Sample output: 145 is a Peterson number.

Sample input: Enter a number=123

Sample output: 123 is not a Peterson number.

Question 8 [15]

Define a class to accept values into a 3×3 array, find the sum of all the odd numbers in the
array and display the same.
Sample input: A[ ][ ]={{ 4 ,5, 6}, { 5 ,3, 2}, { 4, 2, 5}};
Sample output: Sum of odd numbers=5+5+3+5=18
