Question

Given the following declaration code:

char *fullName="Sonny Bono";
char *parts=fullName;
__________________
cout << parts;

Which line of code when put on the blank line will cause Bono to be printed to the screen? Assume there is 1 space between Bono and Sonny and the space should NOT be a part of the output.

1) fullName=new char[6];

2) parts += 6;

3) parts = fullName[6];

4) parts = fullName + 7;

5) parts = &fullName + 6;

Answer 1

As the parts variable represents the fullname (It points to it's address)

if we add parts 6 to it's pointer the address points to B

when we print it it will print Bono

Option 1 is not syntactically correct

Option 2 is correct

Option 3 we cannot assign value to a pointer

Option 4 will print ono

option 5 is also not possible
