Q1: Why do we make block of statements using
braces?
Answer:
Braces {} are used to group multiple statements into a
single block. This is necessary in control structures
like if, for, and while to ensure that all enclosed
statements are executed together.
Q2: Purpose and Syntax
do-while: Executes the loop body at least once
before checking the condition.
Syntax:
do {
// Code to execute
} while (condition);
break: Exits from the current loop or switch
statement immediately.
Syntax: break;
cout: Displays output to the console in C++.
Syntax: cout << "Hello, World!";
switch: Selects one of many code blocks to execute
based on a variable’s value.
Syntax:
switch (expression) {
case value1:
// Code
break;
case value2:
// Code
break;
default:
// Default code
}
Q3: Define Logical Operators with Example
Answer:
Logical operators are used to combine conditional
expressions.
&& (AND): Returns true if both conditions are
true.
|| (OR): Returns true if at least one condition is
true.
! (NOT): Reverses the logical state.
Example:
if (a > 0 && b > 0)
{
cout << "Both are positive";
}
Q4: Define Algorithm
Answer:
An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of
rules to solve a specific problem.
Q5: Simplify the Boolean Expression
Expression:
Z=AB+A(B+C)+B(B+C)Z = AB + A(B + C) + B(B + C)
Simplification:
1. Expand:
Z=AB+AB+AC+BB+BCZ = AB + AB + AC + BB +
BC
2. Simplify using Boolean identities (BB = B):
Z=AB+AC+B+BCZ = AB + AC + B + BC
3. Apply the Absorption Law:
Z=B+ACZ = B + AC
Q6: Remove the Errors
i) cout << I read in class X;
Error: Missing quotation marks.
Correct: cout << "I read in class X";
ii) if {c < 10};
Error: Incorrect syntax for if condition (missing
parentheses).
Correct: if (c < 10) { }
iii) cin<< abc;
Error: Wrong operator (<< should be >>).
Correct: cin >> abc;

Q36: Write a Program in C++ Using Arithmetic
Assignment Operators
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int a = 10, b = 5;
// Using arithmetic assignment
operators
a += b; // Equivalent to a = a +
b
cout << "After a += b: " << a <<
endl;
a -= b; // Equivalent to a = a -
b
cout << "After a -= b: " << a <<
endl;
a *= b; // Equivalent to a = a *
b
cout << "After a *= b: " << a <<
endl;
a /= b; // Equivalent to a = a /
b
cout << "After a /= b: " << a <<
endl;
a %= b; // Equivalent to a = a %
b
cout << "After a %= b: " << a <<
endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
After a += b: 15
After a -= b: 10
After a *= b: 50
After a /= b: 10
After a %= b: 0

Q38: Define Jump Statement with Its Different Forms
in Detail
Jump statements are used to control the flow of a
program by transferring control to another part of the
code.
Types of Jump Statements in C++:
1. break Statement:
o Exits from loops or switch cases
immediately.
o Example:
o for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
o if (i == 3) break;
o cout << i << " ";
o }
o // Output: 0 1 2
2. continue Statement:
o Skips the current iteration and continues with
the next loop cycle.
o Example:
o for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
o if (i == 2) continue;
o cout << i << " ";
o }
o // Output: 0 1 3 4
3. goto Statement:
o Jumps to a labeled statement in the program.
o Example:
o int x = 1;
o start:
o cout << x << " ";
o x++;
o if (x <= 3) goto start;
o // Output: 1 2 3
4. return Statement:
o Exits from a function and optionally returns a
value.
o Example:
o int sum(int a, int b) {
o return a + b; // Returns the
sum
o }
Q39: Describe Linear Data Structure and Its Types
A linear data structure stores data in a sequential
manner, where each element is connected to its
previous and next element.

memory locations.
o Example: int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4,
5};
2. Linked Lists:
o A series of nodes where each node contains
data and a reference to the next node.
3. Stacks:
o Follows the LIFO (Last In, First Out)
principle.
o Operations: push (add), pop (remove)
4. Queues:
o Follows the FIFO (First In, First Out)
principle.
o Operations: enqueue (add), dequeue (remove)
