Review Exercises: Chapter 4: Fundamental Data Types

Name: _________________________________________________ Bell: _____

Provide full and complete answers to the following questions:

R4.1. Write the following mathematical expressions in Java.


s = s0 + v0t + 1/2 gt2

G = 4 π 2a3 / (P2(m1 + m2))

FV = PV . (1 + INT / 100)YRS

c = (a2 + b2 - 2abcosγ)1/2

R4.2. Write the following Java expressions in mathematical notation.

dm = m * (Math.sqrt(1 + v / c) / (Math.sqrt(1 – v / c) – 1));

volume = Math.PI * r * r * h;

volume = 4 * Math.PI * Math.pow(r, 3) / 3;

p = Math.atan2(z, Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y));


R4.3. What is wrong with this version of the quadratic formula?.

x1 = (-b - Math.sqrt(b * b - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a;


x2 = (-b + Math.sqrt(b * b - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a;

R4.4. Give an example of integer overflow. Would the same example work correctly if
you used floating-point? Give an example of a floating-point roundoff error.
Would the same example work correctly if you used integers? For this exercise,
you should assume that the values are represented in a sufficiently small unit,
such as cents instead of dollars, so that the values don’t have a fractional part.

R4.5. Write a test program that executes the following code.

CashRegister register = new CashRegister();


register.recordPurchase(19.93);
register.enterPayment(20, 0, 0, 0);
System.out.print(“Your change is “);
System.out.println(register.GiveChange( ));

The program prints the total as 0.07000000000000028. Explain why. Give a


recommendation to improve the program so users will not be confused.
R4.6. Let n be an integer and x a floating-point number Explain the difference between
n = (int) x
and
n = (int) Math.round(x);

R4.7. Let n be an integer and x a floating-point number Explain the difference between
n = (int) (x + 0.5);
and
n = (int) Math.round(x);

For what values of x do they give the same results? For what values of x do they
give different results?

R4.8. Explain the difference between 2, 2.0, ‘2’, “2”, and “2.0”?
R4.9. Explain what each of the following two programs segments computes:

x = 2;
y = x + x;

and

s = “2”;
t = s + s;

R4.10. Uninitialized variables can be a serious problem. Should you always initialize
every variable with zero? Explain the advantages and disadvantages of such a
strategy.

R4.11. True or false? (x is an int and s is a String)


(a) Integer.parseInt("" + x) is the same as x.

(b) "" + Integer.parseInt(s) is the same as s.

(c) s.substring(0, s.length()) is the same as s.


R4.12. How do you get the first character of a string? The last character? How do you
remove the first character? The last character?

R4.13. How do you get the last digit of an integer? The first digit? That is, if n is 23456,
how do you find out that the first digit is 2 and the last digit is 6? Do not convert
the number to a string. Hint: %, Math.log.

R4.14. This chapter contains several recommendations regarding variable and constants
that make programs easier to read and maintain. Summarize these
recommendations.

R4.15. What is a final variable? Can you define a final variable without supplying
its value? (Try it out.)
R4.16. What are the values of the following expressions? In each line, assume that.

double x = 2.5;
double y = -1.5;
int m = 18;
int n = 4;
String s = “Hello”;
String t = “World”;

a. x + n * y – (x + n) * y

b. m/n+m%n

c. 5*x–n/5

d. Math.sqrt(Math.sqrt(n))

e. (int) Math.round(x)

f. (int) Math.round(x) + (int) Math.round(y)

g. s+t

h. s+n

i. 1 – (1 – (1 – (1 – n))))

j. s .substring(1, 3)

k. s.length( ) + t.length( )
