Give a suitable example for default argument.

 Here's an example:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// function to calculate volume of a cube
double cubeVolume(double side = 1.0) {
    return side * side * side;
}
int main() {
    double side1 = 3.0; // side of cube 1
    double side2 = 4.0; // side of cube 2
    double side3 = 5.0; // side of cube 3
    
    // calculate volumes of cubes using default argument
    double volume1 = cubeVolume(); // default side = 1.0
    double volume2 = cubeVolume(side1);
    double volume3 = cubeVolume(side2);
    double volume4 = cubeVolume(side3);
    
    // display volumes of cubes
    cout << "Volume of cube with side " << side1 << " is " << volume2 << endl;
    cout << "Volume of cube with side " << side2 << " is " << volume3 << endl;
    cout << "Volume of cube with side " << side3 << " is " << volume4 << endl;
    cout << "Volume of cube with default side is " << volume1 << endl;
    
    return 0;
}

In this program, we have defined a function cubeVolume() that calculates the volume of a cube given its side length. The function has a default argument of 1.0, which means that if no argument is passed to the function, it will assume that the side length of the cube is 1.0.

In the main() function, we have created three variables side1, side2, and side3 to represent the side lengths of three cubes. We then call the cubeVolume() function four times, once without any arguments (using the default value of 1.0), and three times with the values of side1, side2, and side3, respectively.

The volumes of the cubes are then displayed using cout. Note that when we call the cubeVolume() function without any arguments, it uses the default value of 1.0 for the side length.

Write a program using the algorithm count() to count how many elements in a container have a specified value.

 Here's an example program using the count() algorithm to count the number of occurrences of a specific value in a vector container: #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() {     vector<int> numbers = { 2, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 1, 5, 4 };          // count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the vector     int count = count(numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), 5);          cout << "The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: " << count << endl;          return 0; } Output: The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: 3 Explanation: The program starts by creating a vector named numbers that contains several integer values. The count() algorithm is used to count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the numbers vector. The function takes three arguments: the beginning and end iterators of...

What are Stub and Skeleton in Distributed Application? Explain its function with block diagram.

 Stub and Skeleton are two important components of distributed applications. A distributed application is a software system that runs on multiple computers connected through a network. It allows users to access resources and services on different computers as if they were on a local computer. In a distributed application, a client program on one computer sends a request to a server program on another computer. The server program processes the request and sends a response back to the client program. Stub and Skeleton help to facilitate this communication between the client and server programs. A Stub is a client-side proxy that represents the remote object on the client machine. It acts as a gateway for the client to communicate with the server. When a client invokes a method on the Stub, it marshals the arguments and sends them to the server over the network. The Stub then waits for the server to send a response. When the response is received, the Stub unmarshals the data and retur...

Write short notes on 1. polymorphism 2. applet vs Application 3. Marshalling and unmarshalling

 1. Polymorphism: Polymorphism is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that refers to the ability of an object to take on multiple forms. In Java, polymorphism can be achieved through method overloading and method overriding. Method overloading means that multiple methods can have the same name but different parameters. Method overriding means that a subclass can provide a different implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. Polymorphism allows for more flexible and modular code design, as objects can be treated as their superclass type, allowing for easier code reuse and maintenance. 2. Applet vs Application: An applet is a small program that runs within a web browser. It is written in Java and can be embedded into a web page using HTML. Applets are designed to be run on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed, making them platform-independent. In contrast, an application is a standalone program that runs on a computer's operat...
