C++ Friend Functions MCQ Questions

1. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class Box
    {
        double width;
        public:
        friend void printWidth( Box box );
        void setWidth( double wid );
    };
    void Box::setWidth( double wid )
    {
        width = wid;
    }
    void printWidth( Box box )
    {
        box.width = box.width * 2;
        cout << "Width of box : " << box.width << endl;
    }
    int main( )
    {
        Box box;
        box.setWidth(10.0);
        printWidth( box );
        return 0;
   }

a) 40
b) 20
c) 5
d) 10

Answer: b) 20

Explanation: We are using the friend function for printwidth and multiplied the width value by 2, So we got the output as 20

2. What will be output for the following code?

class Box
{
 int capacity;
   public:
 void print();
 friend void show();
 bool compare();
 friend bool lost();
};

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer: b) 2

Explanation: A friend functions are not members of any class. Hence this class has only 2 member functions.

3. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Box
{
	int capacity;
    public:
	Box(int cap){
		capacity = cap;
	}
 
	friend void show();
};
 
void show()
{	
	Box b(10);
	cout<<"Value of capacity is: "<<b.capacity<<endl;
}
 
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
	show();
	return 0;
}

a) Value of capacity is: 10
b) Value of capacity is: 100
c) Segmentation fault
d) Error

Answer: a) Value of capacity is: 10

Explanation: As show() is a friend function of class Box hence any object from this function can access the private member of the class Box.

4. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Box
{
	int capacity;
    public:
	Box(int cap){
		capacity = cap;
	}
	friend void show();
};
 
void Box::show()
{	
	Box b(10);
	cout<<"Value of capacity is: "<<b.capacity<<endl;
}
 
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
	show();
	return 0;
}

a) Value of capacity is: 10
b) Value of capacity is: 100
c) Segmentation fault
d) Error

Answer: d) Error

Explanation: Though it is used to declare the friend functions inside classes they are not members of any class therefore when we giving the definition to friend function show() we should not use Box::show() way of defining it.

5. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class sample
    {
        private:
        int a, b;
        public:
        void test()
        {
            a = 100;
            b = 200;
        }
        friend int compute(sample e1);
    };
    int compute(sample e1)
    {
        return int(e1.a + e1.b) - 5;
    }
    int main()
    {
        sample e;
        e.test();
        cout  << compute(e);
        return 0;
    }

a) 100
b) 200
c) 295
d) 300

Answer: c) 295

6. Predict the output of following program.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
protected:
    int x;
public:
    A() {x = 0;}
    friend void show();
};
 
class B: public A
{
public:
    B() : y (0) {}
private:
    int y;
};
 
void show()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    cout << "The default value of A::x = " << a.x << " ";
    cout << "The default value of B::y = " << b.y;
}

a) Compiler Error in show() because x is protected in class A
b) Compiler Error in show() because y is private in class b
c) The default value of A::x = 0 The default value of B::y = 0
d) Compiler Dependent

Answer: b)

Explanation: Please note that show() is a friend of class A, so there should not be any compiler error in accessing any member of A in show(). Class B is inherited from A, the important point to note here is friendship is not inherited. So show() doesn’t become a friend of B and therefore can’t access private members of B.

7. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class B
{
	int b;
   public:
	B(int i){
		b = i;
	}
};
 
class C
{
	B b;
    public:
	C(int i){
		b = B(i);
	}
	friend void show();
};
 
void show()
{
	C c(10);
	cout<<"value of b is: "<<c.b.b<<endl;
}
 
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
	show();
	return 0;
}

a) value of b is: 12345435
b) value of b is: 10
c) segmentation fault
d) error

Answer: d) Error

Explanation: There is two error in the program. First the program doesn’t have a default constructor for the class B which is used when the object of B is declared inside the class C. Second show() is friend function of class C therefore it can access only private member of class C, not B therefore when we are doing c.b.b here the last b is private member of class B which is not accessible.

8. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class B
{
	int b;
    public:
	B(){}
	B(int i){
		b = i;
	}
	int show(){
		return b;
	}
};
 
class C
{
	B b;
    public:
	C(int i){
		b = B(i);
	}
	friend void show(){
 
		C c(10);
		cout<<"value of b is: "<<c.b.show()<<endl;
	}
};
 
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
	C c(1);
	c.show();
	return 0;
}

a) value of b is: 12345435
b) value of b is: 10
c) segmentation fault
d) error

Answer: d) Error

Explanation: Friend functions are not members of any class therefore they should not be called using class objects.

9. What will be the output of the following C++ code?

#include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class sample 
    {
        int width, height;
        public:
        void set_values (int, int);
        int area () {return (width * height);}
        friend sample duplicate (sample);
    };
    void sample::set_values (int a, int b) 
    {
        width = a;
        height = b;
    }
    sample duplicate (sample rectparam)
    {
        sample rectres;
        rectres.width = rectparam.width * 2;
        rectres.height = rectparam.height * 2;
        return (rectres);
    }  
    int main ()  
    {
        sample rect, rectb;
        rect.set_values (2, 3);
        rectb = duplicate (rect);
        cout << rectb.area();
        return 0;
    }

a) 20
b) 24
c) 18
d) 16

Answer: b) 24

10. Predict the output the of following program.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
class B;
class A {
    int a;
public:
    A():a(0) { }
    void show(A& x, B& y);
};
 
class B {
private:
    int b;
public:
    B():b(0) { }
    friend void A::show(A& x, B& y);
};
 
void A::show(A& x, B& y) {
    x.a = 10;
    cout << "A::a=" << x.a << " B::b=" << y.b;
}
 
int main() {
    A a;
    B b;
    a.show(a,b);
    return 0;
}

a) Compiler Error
b) A::a=10 B::b=0
c) A::a=0 B::b=0
d) None

Answer: b) A::a=10 B::b=0

Explanation: This is simple program where a function of class A is declared as friend of class B. Since show() is friend, it can access private data members of B.
