Final answer:
After executing the input statement 'cin >> string1 >> int1 >> char1 >> string2;' with the input 'January 25, 2005', string1 will contain 'January'. The content of string2 is uncertain due to potential input processing issues with the comma following '25' and no spaces before '2005'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question pertains to what is contained in each of the string variables after executing the input statement cin >> string1 >> int1 >> char1 >> string2. Given the input data January 25, 2005, the statement assumes the usage of standard input streams in C++ and their behavior of reading input separated by spaces. When this statement is executed, the input stream operator (cin) breaks down the input based on whitespace by default.
Given that the input data is January 25, 2005, here's how the statement will process the input:
- string1 will contain January
- int1 is supposed to contain an integer value so it will read 25
- As there is no whitespace between 25 and ,, the comma is likely to cause a read failure for char1 because an integer value is not expected to be followed directly by a non-whitespace character in this context.
- The behavior for string2 is unpredictable without further context, as the read operation might have failed before it could be assigned a value. If the read operation before string2 did not fail, and was successful in reading a single character for char1, string2 would attempt to read the remaining input which would be 2005.
Therefore, due to the nature of the input and statement, only string1 can be confidently declared as containing January. The rest of the variables' contents are contingent upon the behavior of the input stream and whether it reads the comma as part of int1 or fails.
