Exam 2: Introduction to Software Design

Looking at the nouns in the problem statement can help you identify objects, and looking at the verbs can point to the __________.

Which keyword should you insert in the member function defined below to protect "hours" from modification? Int Clock::get_hours() __________ { Return hours; }

Members declared in the private part of a class definition can be accessed by any other class.

In the code segment below, the modifier "static" indicates that the constant VOTE_AGE is being defined for the class and does not have to be replicated in each instance. static const int VOTE_AGE = 18;

A constructor differs from a member function in that it has no __________.

When designing software using __________ refinement, you start at the top level (the original problem) and divide it into subproblems.

If the data fields in a C++ class are private, they can be accessed only through public functions.

Which of the following functions correctly condenses the body of can_vote () appearing directly below. Bool Person::can_vote(int year) const { Int the_age = age(year); /* VOTE_AGE is a private data member of Person class*/ Return the_age >= VOTE_AGE; }

The preprocessor directives ifndef, define, and __________ are used to prevent multiple definitions of the identifiers in header files.

If we want to allow a class user to update or modify the value of a data field, we provide a __________ function beginning with the word set and ending with the name of the data field (for example, set_given_name).

A(n) __________ specification for a new software product should be generated at the beginning of a project.

In C++ there are two kinds of types: the __________ and the class types.

The classes that declare the data fields and code member functions that perform the operations are said to __________ the ADT.

An ADT is a(n) __________ between the ADT designer and the programmer who codes a class that implements the ADT.

The common characteristics of a collection of similar objects define a class, and the interactions are identified as __________ that one object sends to another.

In the __________ view of a data object, you can describe what information is stored in the data object without being specific as to how the information is organized and represented.

In C++, the operators are called member __________.

An abstraction is a model of a physical entity or activity.

A test that demonstrates that certain requirements of a particular class are met is called a __________ test.

In the context of the function header below, the operator "!=" is __________. Bool operator!=(const Person& per) const;
