1. What's hard-coding?
2. What is a standards-conforming implementation?
3. What's "hand-written code"?
4. what's "objects created on the free store"?
5. I tried the escape character '\a' in my c++ program code, but no sound was emitted. Could anybody please tell me why?

Thank you very much in advance!!:)

Hard-coding is when you code data (usually input) directly into your source code instead of retrieving the data externally (e.g. user input, configuration file, etc.)

Objects created on the free store are those objects allocated dynamically (e.g. using malloc() or new). These objects are stored in the heap or free store.
