There was an error in one of the multiple choice questions which asked:
-
When an array parameter is passed to a function:
a.
the elements of the actual array parameter are copied into the
elements of the formal array parameter.
b.
the elements of the formal array parameter are copied into the
elements of the actual array parameter.
c.
the actual parameter is a pointer that holds the address of the
formal parameter.
d.
the programmer must write code which allocates enough space for
the function to store the array.
The intended answer was c. However, the choice should
have been "the formal parameter is a pointer that holds the address
of the actual paramter." This question was thrown out. Since most
people chose the intended answer, the exam was graded out of 65 points.
(In essence, everyone received 2 free points.)
