In function apart defined below, how many of the parameters are considered input parameters? void apart(double x, int *wholep, double *fracp) { *wholep = (int)x; *fracp = x - *wholep; } A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 D) 3 E) all 4. Variables that represent neither problem inputs nor problem outputs but are needed for internal computations are called _____. A) problem constants B) prototypes C) results D) formula variables E) program variables 5. This question concerns the following program fragment: char r, x, y, z, w; scanf("%c%c%c%c", &x, &y, &z, &w); if (x < y) r=x; else r=y; if (r>z) r=z; if (r>w) r=w; printf("%c\n", r); The program's effect can best be described as: A) It displays the letter 'r' after comparing it to x, y, and z. B) Of the four input characters, it displays the one that comes first in the alphabet. C) Of the four input characters, it displays the one that comes last in the alphabet.

The if statement: if (13 < 12) printf("never\n"); else printf("always\n"); A) displays never. B) displays always. C) will not compile since 13 is not less than 12.

How many lines of output will be displayed by the following program fragment? i=0; do { for (j = 0; j < 4; j = j + 1) printf("%d\n", i + j); i=i + 1; } while (i < 5); A) 0 B) 7 C) 9 D) 16 E) 20 10.

The effect of the following program segment can best be described as __________. if (x > y) z = x; if (x == y) z=0; if (x < y) z = y; A) the smaller of x and y is stored in z. B) the larger of x and y is stored in z. C) the larger of x and y is stored in z unless x and y are equal, in which case z is assigned zero. D) the larger of x and y is stored in z unless x and y are not equal, in which case z is assigned zero. E) none of the above. 12. The expression: x *= i + j / y; is equivalent to ______. A) x = x * i + j / y; B) x = (x * i) + j / y; C) x = (x * i + j) / y; D) x = x * (i + j / y); E) none of the above 13.

Refer to the following program segment. Assume that all variables are of type int. z=0; g=0; s=0; i=0; while (i < 50) { scanf("%d", &t); s=s + t; if (t >= 0) g=g + 1; else z=z + 1; i=i + 1; } A) once B) never C) 49 times D) 50 times E) until a number 50 or larger is entered 15.

If Nasa where to sink a large tube down a few miles into one of the deepest parts of the ocean or a spiral tube not so deep. Then fit electromagnetic monorail running gear to a sledge and then put a space cargo vehicle inside the sledge. With ball valves to compartmentalise the tube off to keep a constant pressure with inert gases as the space shuttle accelerates using electromagnetism to gain altitude and then loses the sledge. Next fires it's main rocket engines to carry on up to space. Would this idea work and would it save money on fuel if the space cargo vehicles where only say 5 ton cargo holds. Also they could be reusable with their rocket engines.
