2.15 Write a C++ statement that denes the double variables temp, weight,
and height all in the same statement.
Answer: double temp, weight, height;

2.25 (A) What will the following programs print on the screen?

Answer: The output will be:

0
100

Because even though we initialized the variables as freeze = 32, boil = 212, we changed
the values before printing, so the output will be the last value stored in the variables (freeze
= 0, boil = 100)
2.27 There are a number of syntax errors in the following program. Locate as many as you
can.

1- In the first line they use the following format to comment the line:
*/ comment/*
And it has to be in this way:
/* your comment here */
(Starting the comment with backward slash followed by an asterisk and finishing the
comment with an asterisk followed by a backward slash)

Also if you want to comment just one line, its better using // instead of /*
comment */ .
2-

In the second line the preprocessor directive it is written incorrectly, iostream has
to be inside brackets, like this:
#include <iostream>

3- In the fourth line we have another error, because it is written in this way:
int main();
With a semicolon at the end, but the correct way is without the semicolon, like this:
int main()
4- The braces are written in the other way around. The first brace (opening brace) has
to be { and the last brace (closing brace) has to be }
5- They defined the variables a, b and c without using a semicolon at the end of the
statement. Also they forgot to put the semicolon when they initialized the values of
the variables a, b and c. The correct way is the following:
int a,b,c; // Three integers
a=3;
b=4;
c=a+b;
I can see some errors at the moment to print out the value of c. The first one is that
Cout it is written with capital C, and it has to be written in lower case. The second
error in this statement is that they are using just one bracket, and it has to have two
brackets (<<). And the last error is that they are printing the value of the variable
C, which does not exist because it is written with capital C (our variable c is
written in lower case). The correct way to print out the value of c is:
cout<<The value of c is %d<<c;

going to use the input-output stream library)
using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

int main()
{
int surveyed_customers = 12467; // The total of surveyed customers. It has to be
integer for obvious reasons
int energy_drinkers__percent = 14; // Percentage of the surveyed customer that
purchase energy drinks, lets supose we will work just with integer values of percentage

flavored drinks

multiply the surveyed customers by the energy drinks percent we obtain the approximate
number of energy drinkers
//we have to divide by 100 because we are working with percentage values

3.9(d) Write C++ expression for the following algebraic expression:

float h = 13; // 12 was just a random value , the same for k

float k = 6;

float g = (h + 12) / (4 * k);

3.29 (b) Locate as many errors as you can.

1- #include<iostream> has to be written without semicolon;

2- The variable name has to be a string, because the char data type can hold just
one character (One letter is useless to store a name). Or it could be an array of
chars, like this:
char name[20]. //20 is just the size of the array, you can change
it
3- cin.getline>>name is wrong. It has to be in this way : cin.getline(name,20)
4- There is another error in the following statement: cout Press the ENTER key to end
this program; //It has no brackets after cout (<<) This is the correct way to do it:
cout<<Press the ENTER key to end this program;
5- If you expect the user to press the enter key to continue(or to stop), the code should
be like this : cin.get(go); instead of cin>>go
