Q.3. What are the basic differences between the "float" and "double" data types in C++?

The "float" data type in C++ is a single-precision floating-point type that occupies 4 bytes of memory, while the "double" data type is a double-precision floating-point type that occupies 8 bytes of memory. The "double" data type can represent larger and more precise decimal numbers compared to "float."

Q.4. Write a C++ code snippet to calculate the area of a circle, given the radius as input from the user.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    double radius;

    double area;

    const double pi = 3.14159;

    cout << "Enter the radius of the circle: ";

    cin >> radius;

    area = pi * radius * radius;

    cout << "The area of the circle is: " << area << endl;

    return 0;

}

Q.5. How can you convert an integer variable to a string in C++? Provide an example.

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    int num = 12345;

    string str = to_string(num);

    cout << "The converted string is: " << str << endl;

    return 0;

}

Hands-On Questions

Q.1. Write a C++ program that declares two integer variables, x and y, and assign values of your choice to them. Print their sum.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    int x = 5;

    int y = 10;

    int sum = x + y;

    cout << "The sum of x and y is: " << sum << endl;

    return 0;

}

Q.2. Write a C++ program that calculates and prints the average of three floating-point numbers input by the user.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    float num1, num2, num3;

    float average;

    cout << "Enter three numbers: ";

    cin >> num1 >> num2 >> num3;

    average = (num1 + num2 + num3) / 3;

    cout << "The average is: " << average << endl;

    return 0;

}

Q.3. Write a C++ program that prompts the user to enter their name and age. Then, print a message that says "Hello, <name>! You are <age> years old."

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    string name;

    int age;

    cout << "Enter your name: ";

    cin >> name;

    cout << "Enter your age: ";

    cin >> age;

    cout << "Hello, " << name << "! You are " << age << " years old." << endl;

    return 0;

}

Q.4. Write a C++ program that takes a temperature value in Celsius and converts it to Fahrenheit. The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is: F = (C * 9/5) + 32.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    double celsius, fahrenheit;

    cout << "Enter temperature in Celsius: ";

    cin >> celsius;

    fahrenheit = (celsius * 9 / 5) + 32;

    cout << "Temperature in Fahrenheit: " << fahrenheit << endl;

    return 0;

}

Q.5. Write a C++ program that calculates and prints the factorial of a number entered by the user. The factorial of a non-negative integer n is denoted by n!, and it is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    int number;

    int factorial = 1;

    cout << "Enter a number: ";

    cin >> number;

    for (int i = 1; i <= number; i++) {

        factorial *= i;

    }

    cout << "The factorial of " << number << " is: " << factorial << endl;

    return 0;

}
