C++ Programming Questions and Answers - Min and Max

This set of C++ Programming Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Min and Max”.

1. Which keyword is used to declare the min and max functions?
a) iostream
b) string
c) algorithm
d) iterator
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Algorithm header file contains the supporting files needed for the execution of these functions.

2. What kind of functions are min and max in c++?
a) Type specific
b) Variable specific
c) Type & Variable specific
d) Iterator
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The min/max functions are type specific but they will not force everything to be converted to/from floating point. The functions that will force everything to be converted to/from floating point are fmin/fmax.

3. How many parameters are needed for minmax function?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The “minmax” function can take the following:
1 parameter: An initializer_list object.
2 parameters: Values to compare.
2 parameters: An initializer_list object. and comparison function
3 parameters: Values to compare. and comparison function
