Answer / shiv chidambar
size of empty class is 1 byte.
because to indicate class existance in memory 1 byte is
allocated to indicate that class is present.
if the class is empty then there should some kind of
mechanism to indicate or to show this class is present.
if memory (1 byte) not alloacted such a empty class then how
we know that class is present but in programme that class is
written? so for that 1 byte allocated to indicate class
existance.
this happens only for emty classes(Consider example of
tagging interface in java which is empty class).

Size of an empty class is 1 byte. It is non zero to ensure that the two different objects will have different addresses.

What are the conditions that have to be met for a condition to be an invariant of the class?
If you don’t declare a return value, what type of return value is assumed?
catch(exception &e) { . . . } Referring to the sample code above, which one of the following lines of code produces a written description of the type of exception that "e" refers to? a) cout << e.type(); b) cout << e.name(); c) cout << typeid(e).name(); d) cout << e.what(); e) cout << e;
Why can’t you call invariants() as the first line of your constructor?
Design a program to input a date from user in the form day/month/year (e.g. 2/6/2000) and report whether it’s a valid date or not. The program should take account of leap years. You will need to know that a leap year is a year that is exactly divisible by 4, except that century years are only leap years if they are divisible by 400.
