          \n14(10)<\/sub> = 01110(2)<\/sub>, 29(10)<\/sub> = 11100(2)<\/sub>
          \n1’s complement of 11100 is 00011
          \n2’s complement is 00011 + 1 = 00100
          \nNow add, minuend with subtrahend, i.e.,01110 + 00100= 10010
          \nFind the 1’s complement of 10010 is 01101 and
          \n2’s complement of 01101 is 01101 + 1 = 1110(1)<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

            \nWhat is an expression? Explain the types of expression.
            \nAnswer:
            \nAn expression is a combination of variables, constants and operators written according to the syntax of C++ language. In C++ every expression evaluates to a value i.e., every expression results in some value of a certain type that can be assigned to a variable.

            Question 32.
            \nBriefly explain the working of switch statement with an example.
            \nAnswer:
            \nSwitch statement compares the value of an expression against a list of integers or character constants. The list of constants are listed using the “case” statement along with a “break” statement to end the execution.
            \nExample:
            \n\"1st<\/p>\n

            Result:
            \nEnter the day of the week between 1 – 7 :: 7
            \nSunday<\/p>\n

            In the above Control Structure example the \u201cswitch\u201d statement is used to find the day of the week from the integer input got from the user. The value present in the day is compared for equality with constants written in the word case.<\/p>\n

            Since no equality is achieved in the above example (from 1 to 6) as they’entered value is 7, default is selected and gives \u201cSunday\u201d as a result.<\/p>\n
