This section on tough C++ programming questions on “Function Declarations”. One shall practice these questions to improve their C++ programming skills needed for various interviews (campus interviews, walk-in interviews, company interviews), placements, entrance exams and other competitive exams. These questions can be attempted by anyone focusing on learning C++ programming language. They can be a beginner, fresher, engineering graduate or an experienced IT professional. Our C++ programming questions come with the detailed explanation of the answers which helps in better understanding of C++ concepts.

Here is a listing of tough C++ programming questions on “Function Declarations” along with answers, explanations and/or solutions:

1. Where does the execution of the program starts?
a) user-defined function
b) main function
c) void function
d) else function
Answer: b
Clarification: Normally the execution of the program in c++ starts from main only.

2. What are mandatory parts in the function declaration?
a) return type, function name
b) return type, function name, parameters
c) parameters, function name
d) parameters, variables
Answer: a
Clarification: In a function, return type and function name are mandatory all else are just used as a choice.

3. which of the following is used to terminate the function declaration?
a) :
b) )
c) ;
d) ]
Answer: c
Clarification: ; semicolon is used to terminate a function declaration statement in C++.

4. How many can max number of arguments present in function in the c99 compiler?
a) 99
b) 90
c) 102
d) 127
Answer: d
Clarification: C99 allows to pass a maximum of 127 arguments in a function.

5. Which is more effective while calling the functions?
a) call by value
b) call by reference
c) call by pointer
d) call by object
Answer: b
Clarification: In the call by reference, it will just passes the reference of the memory addresses of passed values rather than copying the value to new memories which reduces the overall time and memory use.

6. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

  1.     #include 
  2.     using namespace std;
  3.     void mani()
  4.     void mani()
  5.     {
  6.         cout<<"hai";
  7.     }
  8.     int main()
  9.     {
  10.         mani();
  11.         return 0;
  12.     }

a) hai
b) haihai
c) compile time error
d) runtime error
Answer: c
Clarification: We have to use the semicolon to declare the function in line 3. This is called a function declaration and a function declaration ends with a semicolon.

7. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

  1.     #include 
  2.     using namespace std;
  3.     void fun(int x, int y)
  4.     {
  5.         x = 20;
  6.         y = 10;
  7.     }
  8.     int main()
  9.     {
  10.         int x = 10;
  11.         fun(x, x);
  12.         cout << x;
  13.         return 0;
  14.     }

a) 10
b) 20
c) compile time error
d) 30
Answer: a
Clarification: In this program, we called by value so the value will not be changed, So the output is 10
Output:

8. What is the scope of the variable declared in the user defined function?
a) whole program
b) only inside the {} block
c) the main function
d) header section
Answer: b
Clarification: The variable is valid only in the function block as in other.

9. How many minimum number of functions should be present in a C++ program for its execution?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
Answer: b
Clarification: The execution of a C++ program starts from main function hence we require atleast 1 function to be present in a C++ program to execute and i.e. the main function.
