1.	Can reference to an object be returned from a method?(a) Yes, always possible(b) Yes, but not always(c) No, never possible(d) No, Not possible because referred element would be destroyedThe question was asked during an internship interview.My question comes from Object Reference topic in division Object of Object Oriented Programming
Answer» The correct option is (b) Yes, but not always Easy explanation - This is possible but not always, since the reference being RETURNED may get DESTROYED with the return of method. This is an UNDESIRABLE condition, HENCE it is not always possible to return REFERENCES. But it is always possible if the referred element is not local to the method.

In how many ways can an object be passed to a function?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I have been asked this question during an internship interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in division Object of Object Oriented Programming
If an object is passed by value _____________(a) A new copy of object is created implicitly(b) The object itself is used(c) Address of the object is passed(d) A new object is created with new random valuesThe question was asked in unit test.The above asked question is from Passing and Returning Object with Functions in section Object of Object Oriented Programming
Pass by address passes the address of object _________ and pass by reference passes the address of the object _________(a) Explicitly, explicitly(b) Implicitly, implicitly(c) Explicitly, Implicitly(d) Implicitly, explicitlyI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.The doubt is from Passing and Returning Object with Functions in chapter Object of Object Oriented Programming
If an object is passed by reference, the changes made in the function ___________(a) Are reflected to the main object of caller function too(b) Are reflected only in local scope of the called function(c) Are reflected to the copy of the object that is made during pass(d) Are reflected to caller function object and called function object alsoI have been asked this question in a job interview.Question is taken from Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in section Object of Object Oriented Programming
Constructor function is not called when an object is passed to a function, will its destructor be called when its copy is destroyed?(a) Yes, depending on code(b) Yes, must be called(c) No, since no constructor was called(d) No, since same object gets usedThe question was posed to me in an international level competition.I would like to ask this question from Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in portion Object of Object Oriented Programming
When an object is returned by a function, a _______________ is automatically created to hold the return value.(a) Temporary object(b) Virtual object(c) New object(d) Data memberThe question was posed to me at a job interview.I want to ask this question from Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in division Object of Object Oriented Programming
Is the destruction of temporary object safe (while returning object)?(a) Yes, the resources get free to use(b) Yes, other objects can use the memory space(c) No, unexpected side effects may occur(d) No, always gives rise to exceptionsThis question was posed to me in an interview for job.Question is from Passing and Returning Object with Functions in section Object of Object Oriented Programming
How to overcome the problem arising due to destruction of temporary object?(a) Overloading insertion operator(b) Overriding functions can be used(c) Overloading parenthesis or returning object(d) Overloading assignment operator and defining copy constructorI got this question in semester exam.Origin of the question is Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in division Object of Object Oriented Programming
How many objects can be returned at once?(a) Only 1(b) Only 2(c) Only 16(d) As many as requiredI had been asked this question in a job interview.This question is from Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in portion Object of Object Oriented Programming
It is necessary to return the object if it was passed by reference to a function.(a) Yes, since the object must be same in caller function(b) Yes, since the caller function needs to reflect the changes(c) No, the changes are made automatically(d) No, the changes are made explicitlyThis question was addressed to me in an internship interview.My query is from Passing and Returning Object with Functions topic in division Object of Object Oriented Programming
