C++ Programming Questions and Answers – Function Objects

This section on C++ programming questions and answers focuses on “Function Objects”. One shall practice these questions to improve their C++ programming skills needed for various interviews (campus interviews, walkin interviews, company interviews), placements, entrance exams and other competitive exams. These questions can be attempted by anyone focusing on learning C++ programming language. They can be a beginner, fresher, engineering graduate or an experienced IT professional. Our C++ programming interview questions come with detailed explanation of the answers which helps in better understanding of C++ concepts.

Here is a listing of C++ language programming questions on “Function Objects” along with answers, explanations and/or solutions:

1. What does the function objects implement?
a) operator
b) operator()
c) operand
d) operand<>
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Function objects are objects specifically designed to be used with a syntax similar to that of functions.

2. What are the two advantage of function objects than the function call?
a) It contains a state
b) It is a type
c) It contains a state & It is a type
d) It contains a prototype
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: A function object can contain state. The second is that a function object is a type and therefore can be used as a template parameter.

3. Which header is need to be used with function objects?

b) <functional>
c) <funct>
d) <functionstream>
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: <functional> header is need to be used with function objects.

  1.     #include <iostream> 
  2.     #include <functional>
  3.     #include <algorithm>
  4.     using namespace std;
  5.     int main () 
  6.     {
  7.         int numbers[] = {3, -4, -5};
  8.         transform ( numbers, numbers + 3, numbers, negate<int>() );
  9.         for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
  10.             cout << numbers[i] << " ";
  11.     }

a) -3
b) 3 4 5
c) 3 -4 5
d) -3 4 5
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In this program, we have passed “numbers + 3” in transform function. The results of the transform function are stored in numbers(3rd parameter in func) array whose size is 3.
Output:

$ g++ funo1.cpp
$ a.out
-3 4 5

6. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

  1.     #include <iostream>
  2.     #include <functional>
  3.     #include <vector>
  4.     #include <algorithm>
  5.     #include <string>
  6.     using namespace std;
  7.     int main () 
  8.     {
  9.         vector <string*> numbers;
  10.         numbers.push_back ( new string ("one") );
  11.         numbers.push_back ( new string ("two") );
  12.         numbers.push_back ( new string ("three") );
  13.         vector <int> lengths ( numbers.size() );
  14.         transform (numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), lengths.begin(), 
  15.         mem_fun(&string :: length));
  16.         for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) 
  17.         {
  18.             cout << lengths[i];
  19.         }
  20.         return 0;
  21.     }

a) 335
b) 225
c) 334

$ a.out
3

9. Which are instances of a class with member function operator() when it is defined?
a) function objects
b) member
c) methods
d) iterators
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Function objects are instances of a class with member function operator() defined. This member function allows the object to be used with the same syntax as a regular function call.

10. How many parameters does a operator() in a function object shoud take?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In the case of binary function objects, this operator() member function will take two parameters.
