CS 355 FINAL EXAM (take home)     Name__________________________________
Fall 2002                         Pledge________________________________

(1). How is "protected" in C++ different from "public" or "private"?

(2). C (and C++) have some interesting syntax when it comes to array names
such as pointer arithmetic. Why?

(3). Give a single regular expression for float numerical literals that are
found in C/C++.

(4). In C++, the generalization relationship between classes is invoked
through inheritance. How can C++ build an aggregation relationship?

(5). What is the output of the following ML code? (the "map" function behaves
just as it does in scheme and takes the following format: map ( fun, list ). )

fun square(x:int) = x*x;

map (~, map (square, map (~, [1,2,3] )));

(6). "LISP is a pure functional while ML is a hybrid." Support or refute this
statement.

(7). We refered to Ada tasks as "servers" and "clients" where the servers
contained only entries/accepts and the clients contained only calls to
servers. It is possible to have tasks which contain both. Could this be
a bad idea? If so, why? Give pseudo-code or a diagram(not Ada) with calls
and entries to justify your answer.

(8). What does the following Scheme function do?

( define ( xxx a b )
	( cond ( ( null? a ) b )
		( else ( xxx ( cdr a )  ( cons ( car a ) b ) ) ) ) )

(9). What C programming construct allows for member functions to be easily
included in structs just like they are in C++ classes and structs?

(10). As simple as it was, FORTRAN is mother of all relevent programming
languages. Explain.
