   c. 8                            d. 255

2. The number of distinct values that a single byte of
   computer memory may take on is:

   a. 2                            b. 8

   c. 255                          d. 256

3. In the C language a variable of type "char"

   a. is used to hold character,   b. holds 8 bit integers
      but not numeric data

   c. holds 32 bit integers

4. On 32 bit architectures such as the Intel and Sparc a C variable of
   type "short" is typically

   a. 8 bits                       b. 16 bits

   d. 32 bits                      d. 64 bits

5. The C expression   'A' + 0x0a + 2

   a. is illegal because of the    b. has the decimal value 65
      mixed modes in which the
      constants appear

   c. has the decimal value 75     d. has the decimal value 77
