Embedding audio in Webpages: Embedding a sound on a page means to include the sound commands in the HTML document.

Four ways to embed Audio files in a web page are :

• Using the Object Tag: tag can be used for embedding various media into our web pages. 
• Google Reader MP3 Player: Google Reader has an inbuilt MP3 player that is pretty much the same as Gmail player but it also works on non-Google websites. 
• Yahoo Media Player: The Yahoo Media Player takes a drastically different approach by presenting viewers with a very minimal piece of text and a play button instead of a full-fledged player.
• Mix Pod: Mix Pod creates a free flash widget to embed into our site.

++ is a Unary operator.

Conditional operator is Ternary operator.

#include<iostream> 

using namespace std; 

int main( ) 

{

int m,cm; 

float inch; 

int feet; 

cout<<“Enter your height in Centimeter:”; cin>>cm;

cout<<” Your height is “<<cm/100<<” Meters and “<<cm%100<<"cm\n";

inch=cm/2.54;

feet=inch/12; 

inch=(int)inch%12;

cout<<feet<<"feet and"<<inch<<"inch";

}

The multi line comment used in this program is wrong. So the correct code is as follows

#include<iostream>

using namespace std; 

int main ( ) 

{ 

/* It is a simple program */ 

cout<< “Welcome to C++”

cout<< “\nThe End”

}

An operator is a symbol that performs an operation. The data on which operations are carried out are called operands. 

Following are the operators 

1. lnput(>>) and output(<<):

These operators are used to perform input and output operation.

eg: cin >>n;

cout<<n;

2. Arithmetic operators: 

It is a binary operator. It is used to perform addition(+), subtraction(-), division (/), multiplication (*) and modulus (%- gives the remainder) operations. 

eg: If x = 10 and y = 3 then

x/y = 3, because both operands are integer. To get the floating point result one of the operand must be float.

3. Relational operator: 

It is also a binary operator. It is used to perform comparison or relational operation between two values and it gives either true(1) or false(O). The operators are ,>=,== (equality)and !=(not equal to) eg: If x = 10 and y = 3 then

4. Logical operators: 

Here AND(&&), OR(||) are binary operators and NOT(!) is a unary operator. It is used to combine relational operations and it gives either true(1) or false(O). If x=True and y=False then

Either one of the operands must be true to get a true value in the case of OR(||) operation If x = True and y = False then

5. Conditional operator: 

It is a ternary operator hence it needs three operands. The operator is ?: Syntax: expression ? value if true : value if false. First evaluates the expression if it is true the second part will be executed otherwise the third part will be executed.

  eg: If x = 10 and y = 3 then x>y ? cout<<x : cout<<y;. Here the output is 10

6. sizeof(): 

This operator is used to find the size used by each data type. 

eg. sizeof(int) gives 2.

7. Increment and decrement operator: 

These are unary operators.

(a) Increment operator (++): It is used to increment the value of a variable by one i.e., x++ is equivalent to x = x + 1; 

(b) Decrement operator (–): It is used to decrement the value of a variable by one i.e., x-is equivalent to x = x – 1.

8. Assignment operator (=): 

lt is used to assign the value of a right side to the left side variable. 

eg: x = 5; Here the value 5 is assigned to the variable x.

1. int data type: 

It is used to store whole numbers without fractional (decimal point) part. It can be either negative or positive. It consumes 4 bytes (32 bits) of memory, i.e. 232 numbers. That is 231 negative numbers and 231 positive numbers (0 is considered as +ve) So a total of 232 numbers. We can store a number in between -231 to + 2311.

2. char data type: 

Any symbol from the keyboard, eg. A’,’9′,…. It consumes one byte( 8 bits) of memory. It is internally treated as integers, i.e. 28 = 256 characters. Each character is having a ASCII code, ‘a’ is having ASCII code 97 and zero is having ASCII code 48.

3. float data type: 

It is used to store real numbers i.e, the numbers with decimal point. It uses 4 bytes(32 bits) of memory. 

eg: 67.89, 89.9 E-15.

4. double data type: 

It is used to store very large real numbers. It uses 8 bytes(64 bits) of memory.

5. void data type: 

void means nothing. It is used to represent a function returns nothing.

1. int age; 

2. age = 16; 

3. avg = (float)a + b + c/3;

1. Integer array of size 50 

2. Pointer variable 

3. Function 

4. Reference 

5. Float array of size 100 6. Character array

#include<iostream>

using namespace std; 

int main() 

{ 

int a,b;

cout<<"Enter value for a and b";

cin>>a>>b;

switch(b)

{

case 0 : cout<<"Divide by zero error";

break;

default:

switch(a)

{

case 0:cout<<"The result is zero";

break;

default:

cout<<"The result is "<<(float)a/b;

}

}

}

1. 3 

2. False 

3. False(++k makes k = 9. So 9<=8 is false) 

4. 2(++x becomes 3 ,so 10 * 3 = 30%7 = 2) 

5. 5( here m = (n = 3,8-3) = (n = 3,5), so m = 5, The maximum value will take) 

6. Here i = 12

i + = i- – + – -i 

here post decrement has more priority than pre decrement. So “i- -” will be evaluated first. Here first uses the value then change so it uses the value 12 and i becomes 11 

i + = 12 + – -i 

now i = 11. 

Here the value of i will be changed and used so “i- -” becomes 10 

i + = 12 + 10 = 22 

So, i = 22 +10 

i = 32 

So the result is 32.

Costume is derived from word Custom evolving from the environment and customs of society.

Debugging: 

The program errors are called ‘bugs’ and the process of detecting and correcting errors is called debugging. 

Compilation and running are the two phases.

d) Printer error, Others are different types of errors.

(b) The series is (2)³, (3)³, (4)³, (5)³, (6)³, (7)³,
The wrong number is 218
It should be (6)3 = 216

1. A person becomes a hero, if he risks his / her life for the sake of others.

2. A hero is a person of distinguished courage and ability. They are admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities.

Given:

Speed in still water = 15 km/hr

Total distance = 30 km

Total time = 4 hrs 30 mins = 412 hr = 9/2 hr.

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time 

Calculation:

Let the speed of the of the stream be X km/hr

Speed upstream = (15 – X) km/hr

Speed downstream = (15 + X) km/hr 

According to question:

⇒ [30/(15 + x) + 30/(15 – X)] = 9/2

⇒ (450 – 30X + 450 + 30X) / (15 + X) × (15 – X) = 9/2

⇒ 900 = [(152 – X2) × 9/2]

⇒ (900 × 2/9) = 225 – X2

⇒ X2 = 225 – 200

⇒ X2 = 25

⇒ x = 5

∴ Speed of the stream is 5 km/hr.

If the speed of boat or swimmer is X km/hr and the speed of the stream is y km/hr then,

Speed of boat upstream = (X – Y) km/hr.

Speed of boat downstream = (X + Y) km/hr.
