Answer the following questions about basics of the Java programming language.

These include concepts like operators, variables, declarations, basic language

structures such as if, for, switch, etc.
1. The modulus operator (%) in Java can be used onl with variables of integer tpe.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
The modulus operator (%) ma be used with floating#point as well as integer tpes. $t
returns the remainder of a division operation, e.g., %& % ' will return (.
2. )eclarations must appear at the start of the bod of a Java method.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
The can appear anwhere within the bod of the method.
3. All bitwise operations are carried out with the same level of precedence in Java.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
All operations in Java, including the bitwise operations, are carried out with a definite
precedence.
4. The operations ** + and *** + produce the same result when * &.
! True
! "alse
Answer: True
The shift operation ,% *** -, is identical to ,% ** -, for all positive values of
%. $t shifts the bits in % to the right b - positions.
5. consider the statement ,. / (a * b) 0 a 1 b,2 then the value of . is -3, if a / %4 and b
/ -3.
! True
! "alse
Answer: True
the statement is equivalent to1 if (a * b) . / a2 else . / b2
6. 5henever the ,66, operator is used, such as in1
exp1 && exp2
where e.p% and e.p- are boolean e.pressions, both the boolean e.pressions are not
alwas evaluated.
! True
! "alse
Answer: True
$f the first e.pression is false, the result of the ,66, operation will alwas be false
regardless of the second e.pression. The ,6, operator on the other hand forces the
evaluation of the second e.pression even if the first e.pression is false.
7. The e.pression ( */ 7 66 a // b) is evaluated b first evaluating the e.pression
*/ 7, and then evaluating a // b.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
$f */ 7 is false, then there is no need to evaluate the second e.pression.
8. The ,switch, selection structure must end with the default case.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
The default case in a switch structure is optional and onl used when none of the other
cases match.
9. "or the e.pression ( */ 7 66 a // b) to be true, at least one of ( */ 7) and (a //
b) must be true.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
"or the result of a ,66, operation to be true, both operands must be true.
10. A break statement must alwas be present in the default case of a ,switch,
selection structure.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
The break statement, which brings the computation out of the ,switch, selection
structure, is not required for the defalut case.
11. 8ariables declared inside a for loop are limited in scope to the loop.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
An variable declared within a block statement such as a for or if cannot be
referenced outside the block.
12. An arra in the Java programming language has the abilit to store man different
tpes of values.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
All elements of an erra must be of the same tpe. 9owever, it is possible to declare
an arra of ob:ects, which ma of instances of different classes.
13. An individual arra element from an arra of tpe int, when passed to a method is
passed b value.
! True
! "alse
Answer: True
$ndividual elements of an arra of this tpe are passed b value as a parameter to a
method. An changes to them in the method will not change the value of the arra
element.
14. ;b:ects of a super class can alwas be assigned to a subclass reference.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
;b:ects of a subclass ma be assigned to a super class reference. "ood for thought1 is
there a loss in functionalit when this is done0
15. ;b:ects of a subclass can be assigned to a super class reference.
! True
! "alse
Answer: True
;b:ects of a super class ma not be assigned to a sub class reference. "ood for
thought1 wh is it so0
16. The // operator can be used to compare two String ob:ects. The result is alwas
true if the two strings are identical.
! True
! "alse
Answer: "alse
<tring ob:ects must be compared using the ,equals, method of one of the ob:ects.
"ood for thought1 will the // operator ever return true when two string ob:ects are
compared using it0
4. What is wrong with the following code?
switch (x)
{
case 1:
n1 = 10;
n2 = 20;
case 2:
n3 = 30;
break;
n = 0;
!
Answer: n = 0; is "nreachable
What does the following frag#ent dis$la%?
&tring s = 'six:' ( 3 ( 3;
&%ste#)o"t)$rintln(s);
Answer1 six:33
Answer the following questions about basic operations in the Java programming
language.
1. The tpe long can be used to store values in the following range1
! #-+% to -+% # %
! #-'( to -'(
! #-+- to -+- # %
! #-'+ to -'+ # %
Answer: #-'+ to -'+ # %
The tpe long is a '(#bit two=s complement that can be used for long integers.
2. 5hich of the following is not a he.adecimal number0
(A) >>>
(?) (he.)-+
(@) &.AA'
()) &.%"-
! (A)
! (A) 6 (?)
! (@)
! (A), (?) 6 (@)
Answer: (A) 6 (?)
9e.adecimal numbers start with ,&., in the Java programming language.
3. <elect the invalid assignment statements from the following1
(A) float . / -+4.442
(?) double / &.((+2
! (?)
! (?) 6 ())
! (A) 6 (?)
! (A) 6 (@)
Answer: (A) 6 (@)
-+4.44 is a double in Java. To assign this value to a float, -+4.44f must be used. A
variable of tpe boolean cannot be converted to an integer in Java.
4. $f not assigned a value, a variable of tpe char has the following default value1
! =Buffff=
! , , (space)
! =Bu&&&&=
! =Bu&&&%=
Answer: =Bu&&&&=
The value of a variable of tpe char is %' bits of data formatted as a Cnicode
character.
5. %A 6 -> / 0
! ((
! %(
! %+
! %-
Answer: %+
5hen written in binar format, %A is %%%%, and -> is %%%&%. %%%% 6 %%%&% is %%&%,
which is %+ in decimal.
6. -3 D 4 / 0
! -3
! 4
! %>
! +A
Answer: -3
5hen written in binar format, -3 is %%&%%, and 4 is %&&&. %%&%% D %&&& is %%&%%,
which is -3.
7. $dentif the statements that are correct1
(A) int a / %+, a**- / +
(?) int b / #4, b**% / #(
(@) int a / %+, a***- / +
()) int b / #4, b***% / #(
! (A), (?), (@) 6 ())
! (A) 6 (?)
! (@) 6 ())
! (A), (?) 6 (@)
Answer: (A), (?) 6 (@)
The shift operation ,% *** -, is identical to ,% ** -, for all positive values of
%. $t shifts the bits in % to the right b - positions.
8. @onsider the following code1 int x* %* +;
% = 1;
+ = ,;
x = 0 - (((%) ( +((;
After e.ecution of this, what will be the values of ., and 70
! x = * % = 1* + = ,
! x = 3* % = 2* + = .
! x = -/* % = 1* + = ,
! x = * % = 2* + = .
Answer: x = 3* % = 2* + = .
?oth and 7 get incremented as a result of the last statement, but gets incremented
before and 7 after the assisgment of the calculated value to ..
9. 5hat will be the result of the e.pression
a % b
when a and b are of tpe int and their values are a / %& and b / '0
! %.''
! %
! Eone of these
! (
Answer: (
The modulus operator (%) ma be used with floating#point as well as integer tpes. $t
returns the remainder of a division operation. Therefore, %& % ' will return (.
10. 5hat will be the result of the e.pression
a % b
when a and b are of tpe int and their values are a / #%3 and b / #'0
! #A
! A
! #-+
! Eone of these
Answer: A
a % b calculates the remainder when a is divided b b
11. 5hat will be the value of a after e.ecution of the following statements1
int a = 23* b = 3;
a = ((a 0 b) ? (b ( a) : (b - a);
