b) Returns the summation of all elements of Valarray
c) Returns new array after shifting elements by the given number
d) Returns new array after circular shifting elements by the given number
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: <Valarray> header provides sum() function to sum all the elements in the Valarray and returns the total sum.

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

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	valarray<int> varr = { 10, 2, 20, 1, 30 };
	cout<<"Sum of array: "<<varr.sum();
	return 0;
}

a) Sum of array: 20
b) Sum of array: 53
c) Sum of array: 12
d) Sum of array: 63
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In this program we are trying to sum up all the elements of Valarray using the sum() function of the complex header.

8. What is the function of shift()?
a) Applies the manipulation provided to all the elements of the array
b) Returns the summation of all elements of Valarray
c) Returns new array after shifting elements by the given number
d) Returns new array after circular shifting elements by the given number
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: <Valarray> header provides shift() function to shift all the elements of the Valarray by a given number either to the left or to the right.

9. Which of the following is correct about the shift?
a) Returns new array after shifting elements by the given number
b) Shifts the elements towards left if the argument supplied is positive
c) Shifts the elements towards the right if the argument supplied is negative
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: shift() function is used to shift all the elements of the Valarray by a given number. the elements are shifted towards left if the number if positive and towards the right if the number if negative.

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

#include <iostream>
#include <Valarray>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	Valarray<int> varr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
	for (int &x: varr) cout << x << " ";
	cout<<endl;
	varr = varr.shift(2);
	for (int &x: varr) cout << x << " ";
	return 0;
}

12. Which of the following is correct about shift() and cshift()?

1) shift() makes some values of Valarray equal to 0 after shifting by a non-zero number
2) cshift() makes some values of Valarray equal to 0 after shifting by a non-zero number

a) 2 only
b) 1 only
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2
