TRUE/FALSE

1. When typing in your source code into the computer, you must be very careful since most of your C++ instructions, header files, and variable names are case sensitive.

2. A preprocessor directive does not require a semicolon at the end.

3. The C++ language requires that you give variables names that indicate what the variables are used for.

4. A variable called “average” should be declared as an integer data type because it will probably hold data that contains decimal places.

5. Escape sequences are always stored internally as a single character.

6. Floating point constants are normally stored in memory as doubles.

7. C++ does not have a built in data type for storing strings of characters.

8. If you do not follow a consistent programming style, your programs will generate compiler errors.
