Chapter Review

1. Having more than one integer type lets you choose the type that is best suited to a particular need. For example, you could use short to conserve space or long to guarantee storage capacity or to find that a particular type speed up a particular calculation.
2. short ribs = 80; // or short int ribs = 80;
unsigned int q = 42110; // or unsigned q = 42110;
unsigned long ants = 3000000000; // or long long ants = 3000000000;
   Note: Don't count on int being large enough to hold 3,000,000,000. Also if your system supports universal list-initialization, you could use it:
   short rbis = {80};
unsigned int q {42110};
long long ants {3000000000};
3. C++ provides no automatic safeguards to keep you from exceeding integer limits; you can use the climits header file to determine what the limits are.
4. The constant 33L is type long, whereas the constant 33 is type int.
5. The two statements are not really equivalent, although they have the same effect on some system. Most importantly, the first statement assigns the letter A to grade only on a system using the ASCII code, while the second statement also works for other codes. Second, 65 is a type int constant, whereas A is a type char constant.
6. Here are four ways:
   char c = 88;
cout << c << endl; // char type prints as character
cout.put(char(88)); // put() prints char as character
cout << char(88) << endl; // new-style type cast value to char
cout << (char) 88 << endl; // old-style type cast value to char
7. The answer depends on how large the two types are. If long is 4 bytes, there is no loss. Thats because the largest long value would be about 2 billion, which is 10 digits. Because double provides at least 13 significant figures, no rounding would be needed. The long long type, on the other hand, can reach 19 digits, which exceeds the 13 significant figures guaranteed for double.
8. a. 8 * 9 + 2 is 72 + 2 is 74
   b. 6 * 3 / 4 is 18 / 4 is 4
   c. 3 / 4 * 6 is 0 * 6 is 0
   d. 6.0 * 3 / 4 is 18.0 / 4 is 4.5
   e. 15 % 4 is 3
9. Either of the following would work for the first task:
   int pos = (int) x1 + (int) x2;
int pos = int (x1) + int (x2);
   To add them as type double and then convert, you could do either of the following:
   int pos = (int) (x1 + x2);
int pos = int (x1 + x2);
10. a. int
    b. float
    c. char
    d. char32_t
    e. double
