displayed at line 23 but they are using this f1 functin so i am
confused.... please help me which character would be displayed?


12 char f1(char a) {
13 if(a < 'a') return a + ('a' - 'A');
14 else return a;
15 } // end f1
16 char f1(int a) {
17 if(a < 'a') return a;
18 else return a - ('a' - 'A');
19 } // end f1
20 int main (int argc, char **argv)
21 {
22 char reply;
23 cout << f1('M'+1) << endl;

Have you tried it?

12 char f1(char a) {
13 if(a < 'a') return a + ('a' - 'A');
14 else return a;
15 } // end f1
16 char f1(int a) {
17 if(a < 'a') return a;
18 else return a - ('a' - 'A');
19 } // end f1
20 int main (int argc, char **argv)
21 {
22 char reply;
23 cout << f1('M'+1) << endl;

Compile and run it...

please help me which character would be displayed?


12 char f1(char a) {
13 if(a < 'a') return a + ('a' - 'A');
14 else return a;
15 } // end f1
16 char f1(int a) {
17 if(a < 'a') return a;
18 else return a - ('a' - 'A');
19 } // end f1
20 int main (int argc, char **argv)
21 {
22 char reply;
23 cout << f1('M'+1) << endl;

"They" are outputing the result of the function call when 'M' + 1 is
passed in is 'M' + 1 < 'a'? if it is, then the function returns ('M' +
1) + ('a' - 'A'), otherwise it returns 'M' + 1.

so mainly i need to say if it is smaller than 'a' then it is displayed
as ('M' +

21 {
22 char reply;
23 cout << f1('M'+1) << endl;

I think it's an 'n'.
'M' + 1 = 'N'
'N' is < 'a';
so 'N' + 'a' - 'A' = 'n'

The answer is implementation defined, i.e. it depends on which
computer/operating system you run it on.
If the operating system uses EBCDIC (e.g. IBM AS/400 computers), then
a different output will occur than if the system uses the ASCII
system.
I have not tested it but it looks like it will output the "RES ENP"
control character.
