The test covers essential topics such as data types, control statements (if/else, switch/case, loops), functions, arrays, pointers, and input/output (cin/cout) operations. Data types evaluate candidates' knowledge of fundamental data types in C++, including integers, floating-point numbers, characters, and Boolean values. Candidates are expected to demonstrate their understanding of type declarations, conversions, and limitations. Control statements assess candidates' ability to use if/else, switch/case, and loop structures effectively. They are evaluated on their comprehension of conditional and iterative programming, and their proficiency in constructing logical and structured code. Functions test candidates' understanding of function declaration, definition, and invocation in C++. They are evaluated on their ability to design and implement reusable code blocks and understand concepts like parameters, return types, and function overloading. Arrays evaluate candidates' understanding of array declaration, initialization, and manipulation. They are assessed on their knowledge of indexing, memory allocation, and array operations such as traversal and sorting. Pointers examine candidates' grasp of memory management in C++. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to declare, initialize, and dereference pointers, as well as their comprehension of concepts like pointer arithmetic, dynamic memory allocation, and memory deallocation. Input/output (cin/cout) assesses candidates' proficiency in handling user input and producing output in C++. Candidates are evaluated on their understanding of stream objects, formatting options, and basic input/output operations.
