1. Programs using Input / Output, branching and loops

A. Program to input the student details like Name, Regno, YearOfStudy, Branch, Marks in
5 subjects and print the details in a formatted manner.
B. Program to create a structure called Employee with members as EmpId, Name, Age,
BasicSalary, DA(in %), PF(in % of BasicSalary), GrossSalary and NetSalary.
GrossSalary = BasicSalary + BasicSalary*DA. NetSalary = GrossSalary – PF. Input the
details for 3 employees and print the details of each employee in a formatted manner.

details of all the employees in tabular form.

2. Programs using functions with default arguments, inline functions and

function overloading

the result by reference.
B. Write a program to find the largest of the three numbers using inline functions.
C. Write a program to find the absolute value of an integer, double and float value using
function overloading.

D. Raising a number ‘N’ to the power ‘P’ is the same as multiplying N by itself P times. Write
a function called power() that takes N (double) and P (int) as input, and returns the result
N*P as a double value. Use a default argument of 2 for P, so that if this argument is
omitted, the number N will be squared. Overload power() function, to work with int, long,
and float. Overload the power() function for char datatype also, which should print P times
the given character N. Write the main() program to exercise these overloaded functions
with all argument types.
E. Program to compute the volume of a cylinder using a function compute(), with default
values - 1 for radius of the base of the cylinder and 2 for height of the cylinder. Calculate
and return the volume of the cylinder, by calling the function from the main(), with and
without arguments.

3. Programs using classes with constructors and destructors

A. Create a class Date whose object can store a day, month and year. Include the necessary
constructors to initialize the objects and function to display the date in ‘dd/mm/yyyy’
format.
B. Imagine a tollbooth at a bridge. Cars passing by the booth are expected to pay Rs. 50 as
toll fee. Mostly they do, but sometimes a car goes by without paying. The tollbooth keeps
track of the number of cars that have gone by, and of the total amount of money
collected. Model this tollbooth with a class called TollBooth. The two data items are a
type unsigned int to hold the total number of cars, and a type double to hold the total
amount of money collected. A constructor initializes both of these to 0. A member
function called payingCar() increments the car total and adds 0.50 to the cash total.
Another function, called nonPayingCar(), increments the car total but adds nothing to
the cash total. Finally, a member function called dispDetails() displays the two totals.
Make appropriate member functions const. Write a program to test this class. This
program should be menu-driven to allow the user to select paying car, or nonpaying car
or to print the total cars and total cash collected and finally exit the program.
C. Write a C++ program to create a class called Complex to implement the following
functions on Complex type objects. READ/INPUT, ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and
PRINT with return the resultant object. Write the program with required constructors,
member functions with necessary arguments and return types.
D. Create a class called CarPark that has the members CarRegnno(int), ChargePerHour(int)
and ParkingDuration(float). Set the data and show the charges and parked hours of a car
based on CarRegnNo. Make two member functions for setting and showing the data.
Member function should be called from other functions.
E. Create a class called TIME that has separate data members for Hours(int), Minutes(int) and
Seconds(int). One constructor should initialize this data to zero, and another should
initialize it to fixed values. Overload the constructors to do this. Add a member function to
display time in 11:59:59 format. Add another member function addTIME to add two
objects of type TIME passed as arguments. The main() program should create two
initialized Time objects and one that is not initialized. Then it should add two initialized
value together, leaving the result in the third Time variable. Finally, it should display the
value of this third variable.

into the object, another function called putData() to display the data. The name should
have no embedded blanks. Write a main() program to exercise this class. It should create
array of type Employee and then invite the user to input data for up to 10 employees.
Finally, it should print out the data for all the employees. (Use setw, setiosflags to format
the output).
B. Write a program that calculates the average of up to 10 English distances input by the
user. Create an array of objects of the Distance class with the data members as feets and
inches to calculate the average create a member function called avgDistance(). (Hint: 12

mul(),div() to perform arithmetic operations on data_a and data_b. Derive a class
Logic_Unit from InputData. It contains the functions and(), or() and xor() to perform
logical operations on data_a and data_b. Finally derive a class called ALUnit from

according to the given codes. Choose code 0 to code 6 to perform the said seven
operations. Write sample program to test the ALU class.
B. Create a class called Transmitter. It has three unsigned int private data members:
pay_load, parity and data_packet; It has one function called parity_bit(). It calculates
parity bit by XORing all pay_load bits and assign the value to parity. By using function
get pay_load(), pay_load is got. data_packet is calculated by multiplying parity_bit with
32768 and add the product with (pay_load – 32768). Create another class called
Receiver. It has unsigned int private data members Rx_Pkt , Rx_Data and E_Flag.
Rx_Data is got from Rx_Data as given below. First E_Flag is calculated from Rx_Pkt by
XORing all bits. If E_Flag is zero, then Rx_Data = Rx_Pkt – 32768, Else a message
should warn about corrupted packet. Derive a class called Tranceiver from the above two
classes and check the functionalities. Use any other functions if needed.
C. Define a class Employee with data members as empno, name and designation. Derive a

triangle area.
J. Create a base class called Radix10 which has a member function decimal. It can be set and
display by member functions. It also contains a virtual function called convert. Derive two
classed from Radix10. One is called Radix2 and the next is called Radix16. They redefine
the convert function such that the decimal value is displayed into binary or hexa_decimal.

decimal data is divided by appropriate radix length times and the remainder which is
always from 0 to (radix-1) should be displayed in reverse order. In hexa decimal, for
remainder 10, 11, 12 ,13, 14 and 15 the codes A, B, C, D, E or F should be used
respectively.
