2. Assume that an int is 4 times the number of bytes of a char. If int_p is a pointer to an array of integers and char_p is a pointer to an array of chars, and the addresses of both are equal to each other, then what does char_p + 4 equal?

3. Assume that an int is 2 times the number of bytes of a char. If int_p is a pointer to an array of integers and char_p is a pointer to an array of chars, and the addresses of both are equal to each other, then what does char_p + 6 equal?

4. What does the following function do assuming n1 is the length of arr1 and n2 is the length of arr2?
int foo (int arr1[], int n1, int arr2[], int n2) { int j, k; for (j = 0, k = 0; j < n1 && k < n2; j, k, arr1, arr2) { if (arr1 != arr2) return 0; } return 1; }

5. True or False: It is possible to have an array in a program where the size of the array is specified exactly by the user at run-time.

6. True of False: Assuming a char is one byte in size and an int is four bytes in size, then the string "thespark" requires the same amount of memory as two ints.

7. What does the following function do, assuming that n is the size of the array arr?
void int(int arr[], int n) { int j, k; for (j = 0; j < n / 2; j++) { k = arr[j]; arr[j] = arr[n - j - 1]; arr[n - j - 1] = k; } }

8. True or False: Passing an array using the syntax arr[] creates a local copy of the array whereas *arr creates a pointer to the array.

10. What does the following function do:

32. What does this code do?
int mys[128]; str = "sparks"; for (c = 0; c < strlen(str); c) { mys[str[c]]; }

33. True of False: If you have a string constant in your program, such as str = "spark", then you are using dynamic memory allocation because the space for "spark" is allocated at run time.

34. In order for an array to be globally modified in a function, the zeroeth element of the array must be cast to a pointer and passed in as opposed to passing the array variable itself.

int arr2d[5][10]; int arr1d[5*10];
What location in arr1d is equivalent to arr2d[3][7]?

45. If an long int is 8 bytes, a single long int can be used for a 64 position bitset. The goal of the following function is to return an array that can be used as a bitset for the number of positions that need to be filled in. What should replace the xxx in the function?
