Question 17:
A C++ program contains following declaration: static int x[5] =    {5, 20, 30, 50, 70};

  1. What is the meaning of x?
  2. What is the meaning of (x + 2)?
  3. What is the value of *x?
  4. What is the value of (*x + 2)?
  5. What is the value of *(x + 2)?

Аnswer:
Let us assume the base address or the starting address of the array as 1000, i.e
chapterwise-question-bank-cbse-class-12-computer-science-c-pointers-(175-1)
Here, each box is taking 2 bytes because array contains integer type variables and int takes 2 bytes.

  1. x represents an array of size 5 and also the base address of array, i.e. 1000.
  2. It will increase the value of x by 4 bytes, because x + 2 = x + (size of int) *2 = 1000+2*2 =1004
  3. *x means value at the address contained in x[0], i.e. 5.
  4. (*x+ 2)— *(1000)+ 2 [because *(dercfcrcnce operator) has higher priority than binary operators] =5+2=7
  5. *(x+ 2)= *(1000+ 2x 2)= *(1004)= 30

Question 18:
Give the output of the following program:

NAME[x] = toupper(NAME[x]); 
else if(isupper(NAME[x])) 
if(x%2 = 0)
NAME[x] = to!ower(NAME[x]); 
else
NAME[x] = NAME[x-1]; 
puts(NAME);
}

Аnswer:
Output
cOmmUTee
