What happens when you attempt to compile and run the following code?
#include
using namespace std;
class BaseC
{
int *ptr;
public:
BaseC() { ptr = new int(10);}
BaseC(int i) { ptr = new int(i); }
~BaseC() { delete ptr; }
void Print() { cout << *ptr; }
};
int main()
{
BaseC *o = new BaseC(5);
o?>Print();
}

Not sure about that, seems off to me.

I thought it would print 10, not 5.

Wait, how does it even compile with that `?>`?

Totally agree, it's definitely 5!

It prints: 5

Wait, did I miss something? I thought the default constructor would set it to 10, but this one uses the parameter. So, it should be 5, right?
AL
Albert

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like it should print 5 since that's the value passed to the constructor.

Sarah

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about how pointers work in constructors. Could it be 10 instead?
ME

I think the code should print 5 because the constructor with the parameter is called.

This is a good test of understanding pointers and object lifetime. I'll carefully walk through the code and think about when the objects are created and destroyed to determine the output. I'm confident I can get the right answer.

Ah, I see what's going on now. The line "o->Print();" is using the pointer directly, so it will print the value that the pointer is pointing to, which is 5. The answer is A.

I'm a bit confused here. The constructor with the int argument creates a new int and assigns the pointer to it, but the default constructor creates a pointer to 10. I'm not sure which one will be used in the end. I'll have to guess on this one.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. We're creating a BaseC object with the argument 5, so the int pointer should be pointing to 5. Then we're calling the Print() method, which should print the value of the pointer. I'll go with option A.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully trace the code execution to figure out what's happening with the pointers and object creation.

I'm a bit confused by this one. The question doesn't give a lot of context, so it's hard for me to determine the right answer. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Definitely DHCP. I remember learning about that in class, it's the protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to identify which option covers a global-level configuration for time tracking, rather than a project-specific or user-specific setting.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll select the paragraphs, then use the Bullets option to format them properly.

I'm going to go with B. It's the most likely option, and I'm not going to overthink this. Time to move on to the next question!

Haha, this is a classic pointer-related question. I bet the answer is B, just to mess with us all!

KA

Wait, are we sure the object is being deleted properly? If there's a memory leak, it might print some random value like 1 or 0.
CH
Chantell

User3: Wait, but what if there's a memory leak? It could print a random value.
MA

User2: Yeah, it should print 5 since we're passing 5 to the constructor.

Make sure to check for memory leaks in the code.

That makes sense, but I'm not sure. Let's see what others think.
NG
Nguyet

I believe the answer is A) It prints: 5 because the object is initialized with 5.
SH
Sharen

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What if the compiler optimizes the code and the object ends up being created with the default constructor instead of the one that takes an argument? Then it would print 10.

I think the answer is B) It prints: 10.
BR
Brynn

The code will print 5, as we create a BaseC object with the constructor that takes an integer argument and pass in the value 5.
