score = studentScore;
}

string Student::GetGrade() const {

string grade;
if (score < 40) {
grade = "C";
}
else if (score < 70) {
grade = "B";
}

12) For the given outline, identify the correct statement for defining classes for a program that
stores electronic items’ details.
The program will have an Electronic class with item code, item description, and item price.
An item may be a gaming item with console details and brand.
a. Create a Gaming class as separate files and then an Electronic class which includes the
Gaming.h file.

13) The following program generates an error. Why?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <Shopping.cpp>

cin >> num2;
if (num1 > num2)
cout << num1 << " is greater" << endl;
else
cout << num2 << " is greater" << endl;
return 0;
}

5
a. Since no strings have been used in the program, the include statement for string would
generate an error.
b. Since Shopping class has been included, not making its object in main would generate an
error.
c. The variables num1 and num2 should be declared in a class and accessed through functions.
d. Only .h files can be included, hence including Shopping.cpp is invalid.

14) Which of the following is true for overloading a class constructor?

d. :

16) Which XXX and YYY complete the class School's member function correctly?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

}

int main() {
School mySchool;
mySchool.SetDetails(100, "New School");
mySchool.SetDetails(35, "New School");

mySchool.Print();
return 0;
}
a. this->numStudents = nStudents;
this->name = schoolName;
b. this->nStudents;
this->schoolName;
c. this->numStudents;
this->name;
d. this->nStudents = numStudents;
this->schoolName = name;

17) What is output?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Shapes {
public:
void Print();
Shapes(int x);
private:
int sides = 4;
};

Shapes::Shapes(int x) {
this->sides = x;
}

void Shapes::Print() {
if(this->sides == 4) {
cout << "It’s a Square!" << endl;
}
else {

7
 cout << "Oops!";
}
}

int main() {
Shapes s(7);
s.Print();
return 0;
}
a. Oops, It’s a Square!
b. Oops!
c. It’s a Square!

}
a. return Game;
b. return myGame;
c. return newGame;
d. return score;

operator==. Which of the following statements are true about this function?
a. It returns a class type and takes one const reference argument of bool type.
b. It returns bool and takes two const reference arguments of the class type.
c. It does not return anything and takes two const reference arguments of the class type.
d. It returns an int and takes two reference arguments of bool type.

21) Which of the following is the correct way to overload the >= operator to use School class
type and a function GetTotalStudents()?

Programming Questions
3 questions.

You can complete the programming questions in repl.It or your chosen programming
environment. If using repl.it:
1. Before you copy-paste the code, fix the indentation using "​clang-format -i
main.cpp"​ in the repl.it shell
2. After you paste the code, change the font to "​Courier New​" if it is not already in a
fixed-size font, so the spacing looks right in the Microsoft Word Document.

Question 1 (10 points)

Write a function called ​getNums​ that reads a list of integers until it reads -1, and outputs those
integers in reverse. The function should not output -1.
void​ ​getNums​() {
​int​ ​n​;
​vector​<​int​> ​nums​;
​cout​ ​<<​ ​"Get number: "​;
​cin​ ​>>​ ​n​;
​while​ (​n​ != -​1​) {
​nums​.​push_back​(​n​);
​cout​ ​<<​ ​"Get number: "​;
​cin​ ​>>​ ​n​;
}
​for​ (​int​ ​i​ = ​nums​.​size​() - ​1​; ​i​ >= ​0​; ​i​--) {
​cout​ ​<<​ ​nums​[​i​]​ << " " ​<<​ ​endl​;
}
}

Question 2 (30 points)

You have been hired by ​DefineUs Inc​ that wants to build the worlds largest dictionary. As the
newest employee, you have been asked to write the Dictionary class. The specifications are
given below. You should provide a complete .h and .cpp file.

1. Constructor with 0 parameters to create a Dictionary object

2. add - takes two strings as parameters, a new word and its definition.
3. contains - takes a string. Returns true if the given word is found in the dictionary, false
otherwise

12
 4. getMeaning - takes a string. Returns the meaning of the word if the word is found in the
dictionary, returns empty string otherwise.
5. getSize - returns the number of words in the dictionary

You should define additional private variables and functions as needed. The dictionary will not
contain more than 100 words for the initial implementation, but your implementation should be
as flexible as possible.

The main.cpp file for initial testing has been provided as below

​ iostream>
#include​ <
#include​ "​ Dictionary.h"

using​ ​namespace​ ​std​;

int​ ​main​() {
Dictionary d;
​d​.​add​(​"circuit"​, ​"an electrical device providing a path for
current to flow"​);
​d​.​add​(​"electromagnet"​, ​"a magnet made by coiling wire around an
iron core"​);
​d​.​add​(​"resistor"​, ​"a device that resists the flow of electrical
current"​);
cout << boolalpha;
cout << ​"Size: "​ << ​d​.​getSize​() << endl;
cout << ​"Contains circuit? "​ << ​d​.​contains​(​"circuit"​) << endl;
cout << ​"Contains voltage? "​ << ​d​.​contains​(​"voltage"​) << endl;
cout << ​"Meaning of resistor is: "​ << ​d​.​getMeaning​(​"resistor"​)
<< endl;
​return​ ​0​;
}
/**
* Output from above code:

Size: 3
Contains circuit? true
Contains voltage? false
Meaning of resistor is: a device that resists the flow of
electrical current
