Java Questions & Answers – Integer and Floating Data Types

This Section of our 1000+ Java MCQs focuses on Integer and Floating Datatypes of Java
Programming Language.
1.What is the range of data type short in Java?
a)-128to127
b)-32768to32767
c)-2147483648 to 2147483647
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer:b
Explanation:Short occupies 16 bits in memory. Its range is from -32768 to 32767.
2. What is the range of data type byte in Java?
a) -128 to 127
b) -32768 to 32767
c) -2147483648 to 2147483647
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer:a
Explanation:Byte occupies 8 bits in memory. Its range is from -128 to 127.
3. Which of the following are legal lines of Java code?
1. int w = (int)888.8;
2. byte x = (byte)100L;
3. long y = (byte)100;
4. byte z = (byte)100L;
a) 1 and 2
b) 2 and 3
c) 3 and 4
d) All statements are correct.
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation:Statements (1), (2), (3), and (4) are correct. (1) is correct because when a
floating-point number (a double in this case) is cast to an int, it simply loses the digits
after the decimal.(2) and (4) are correct because a long can be cast into a byte. If the long
is over 127, it loses its most significant (leftmost) bits.(3) actually works, even though a
cast is not necessary, because a long can store a byte.
4. An expression involving byte, int, and literal numbers is promoted to which of these?
a) int
b) long
c) byte
d) float
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation:An expression involving bytes, ints, shorts, literal numbers, the entire
expression is promoted to int before any calculation is done.
5. Which of these literals can be contained in a data type float variable?
a) 1.7e-308
b) 3.4e-038
c) 1.7e+308

View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation:Range of data type float is 3.4e-038 to 3.4e+308.
6. Which data type value is returned by all transcendental math functions?
a) int
b) float
c) double
d) long
View Answer
Answer:c
Explanation:None.

8. What is the output of this program?
1. class conversion {
2. public static void main(String args[])
3. {
4. double a = 295.04;
5. int b = 300;
6. byte c = (byte) a;
7. byte d = (byte) b;
8. System.out.println(c + " " + d);
9. }
10. }

a) 38 43
b) 39 44
c) 295 300
d) 295.04 300
View Answer
Answer:b
Explanation:Type casting a larger variable into a smaller variable results in modulo of
larger variable by range of smaller variable. b contains 300 which is larger than byte’s
range i:e -128 to 127 hence d contains 300 modulo 256 i:e 44.

6. }
7. }

a) 25
b) 24
c) 32
d) 33

10. }

a) 38 43
b) 39 44
c) 295 300
d) 295.04 300
View Answer
Answer:b
Explanation:Type casting a larger variable into a smaller variable results in modulo of
larger variable by range of smaller variable. b contains 300 which is larger than byte’s
range i:e -128 to 127 hence d contains 300 modulo 256 i:e 44.

4. Which of these keywords can be used to prevent inheritance of a class?
a) super
b) constant
c) Class
d) final
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Declaring a class final implicitly declares all of its methods final, and makes
the class inheritable.
5. Which of these keywords cannot be used for a class which has been declared final?
a) abstract
b) extends
c) abstract and extends
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: A abstract class is incomplete by itself and relies upon its subclasses to
provide complete implementation. If we declare a class final then no class can inherit that
class, an abstract class needs its subclasses hence both final and abstract cannot be
used for a same class.

1.&& 2. == 3. ?: 4. +=

a) 3 & 2

b) 1 & 4

c) 1, 2 & 4

d) 1, 2 & 3

Answer: d

Explanation: Operator Short circuit AND, &&, equal to, == , ternary if-then-else, ?:,

numeric values.

4. Which of these operators can skip evaluating right hand operand?

a) !

b) |

c) &

d) &&

10. }
11. }

a) false false
b) true ture
c) true false
d) false true
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Operator | returns true if any one operand is true, thus ‘c = true | false’ is
true. Operator & returns a true if both of the operand is true thus d is false. Ternary
operator ?: assigns left of ‘:’ if condition is true and right hand of ‘:’ if condition is false. d
is false thus e = d ? b : c , assigns c to e , e contains true.

7. if(Character.isDigit(c[i]))
8. System.out.println(c[i]+" is a digit");
9. if(Character.isWhitespace(c[i]))
10. System.out.println(c[i]+" is a Whitespace
character");
11. if(Character.isUpperCase(c[i]))
12. System.out.println(c[i]+" is an Upper case
Letter");

is White space character
b) b is a lower case Letter
is White space character
c) a is a lower case Letter
A is a upper case Letter
d) a is a lower case Letter
0 is a digit
Answer:c
Explanation:Character.isDigit(c[i]),Character.isUpperCase(c[i]),Character.isWhitespace(c[i
]) are the function of library java.lang. They are used to find weather the given character is
of specified type or not. They return true or false i:e Boolean variable.

the string compared?
a) zero
b) value less than zero
c) value greater than zero
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: b
Explanation: compareTo() function returns zero when both the strings are equal, it returns
