Chapter 5

int x = 0;
while (x < 5)
{
cout << x << ' ';
x++;
}

0 1 2 3 4

To write data to a file, you define an object of this data type

ofstream

This is a variable that is regularly incremented or decremented each time a loop iterates

counter

What will the following code display?

7

Assuming dataFile is a file stream object, the statement: dataFile.close();

closes a file

You may not use the break statement in a nested loop

False

The while loop has two important parts: an expression that is tested for a true or false value, and:

a statement or block that is repeated as long as the expression is true

What will the following code display?
int number = 6;
int x = 0;
x = --number;
cout << x;

5

Assuming outFile is an output file stream object, and number is a variable, which statement writes the contents of number to the file associated with outFile?

outFile << number;

Multiple relational expressions cannot be placed into the test condition of a for loop

True

What is the output of the following code segment?
n = 1;
for ( ; n <= 5; )
cout << n << ' ';
n++;

1 1 1 ... and on, forever

You may nest while and do-while loops, but you may not nest for loops

False

The do-while loop is considered a(n) _________ loop

post-record

What will the following code display?
int number = 6;
int x = 0;
x = number--;
cout << x;

6

When the increment operator precedes its operand, as in ++num1, the operator is in this mode

prefix

The while loop contains an expression that is tested for a true or false value, and a statement or block that is repeated as long as the expression _________________.

is true

The statements in the body of a while loop may never be executed, whereas the statements in the body of a do-while loop will be executed

at least once

This loop is a good choice when you know how many times you want the loop to iterate in advance of entering the loop

for

How many times will the following loop display "Hello!"?
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
cout << "Hello!" << endl;

20

You may define a __________ in the initialization expression of a for loop.

variable

Something within a while loop must eventually cause the condition to become false, or a(n) __________ results

infinite loop

If you place a semicolon after the test expression in a while loop, it is assumed to be a(n)

null statement

An output file is a file that data is written to.

True

Look at the following statement: while (x++ < 10)
Which operator is used first?

++

This statement causes a loop to terminate early.

break
