3. Choose the correct statement among the following which supports the fact that C# does not allow the creation of empty structures?

a) C#.NET supports creation of abstract user-defined data types using structures
b) By having empty structures,it would mean that the new data types have no data associated with, which does not make any sense in C#.NET
c) Basic reason to create structures is the inability to represent real life objects using standard data types offered by the language
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d

Explanation: Basic definition of structures in C#.NET.

4. Choose the correct statement about structures as to why they are defined as value types but not reference types?

a) Since space required for structure variables is allocated on stack which is a form of memory that is automatically available when a variable to be used is in scope.
b) Structures generally are used to represent user defined data types that consists of small amount of data in them.Hence using stack for declaration of such variables is not a problem.
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: c

5. Choose the wrong statement about structures in C#.NET?

3.      e.sal = 200;

b)

1. With emp e

2.    {

11. Select the wrong statements among the following?

a) A structure can contain properties
b) A structure can contain constructors
c) A structure can contain protected data members
d) A structure can contain constants

Answer: c

12. Which of the following is the correct result for the given statement in the C#.NET statement given below?

p = q

1. struct employee

2. {

3.     private int employee id;

4.     private string city;

5. }

6. employee q = new employee();

7. employee p;

8. p = q;

a) Elements of ‘q’ will be copied into corresponding elements of p.
b) Address stored in q will get copied into p
c) Address of first element of q will get copied into p
d) Once assignment is over.q will go out of scope and hence get exited forever

Answer: a

8.          static void Main(string[] args)

9.          {

10.              abc x = new abc();

11.              abc z;

12.              x.i = 10;

13.              z = x;

14.              z.i = 15;

15.              console.Writeline(x.i + "  " + y.i)
