Brainstorming

int num = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

num = num++;
System.out.println(num);
}
Brainstorming

Solution:
Output:
0
0
0
0
0

This is a classic Java post-increment trap.

To actually increment num,
We use either: num++ (on its own) or num = num + 1 or ++num
Brainstorming

num = num++ is a tricky statement.

•num++ is post-increment: it returns the current value of num

before incrementing it.

•But since the result of num++ is assigned back to num, the

increment is lost
!

So, num stays the same.

Brainstorming

Loop Execution:

Initial value: num = 0

For each of the 5 iterations:
num = num++ does not change num
Print num (which is always 0)

It is said that a smile is universally understood. And nothing triggers a smile
more universally than a taste of sugar. Nearly everyone loves sugar. Infant
studies indicate that humans are born with an innate love of sweets. Based
on statistics, a lot of people in Great Britain must be smiling because on
average, every man, woman, and child in that country consumes 95 pounds
of sugar each year.
From this passage it seems safe to conclude that the English:,
A. do not know that too much sugar is unhealthy.
B. eat desserts at every meal.
C. are fonder of sweets than most people.
D. have more cavities than any other people.

Problem
In 1991, a devastating flood ravaged many districts of Bihar. A group of
villagers found itself confronted by a wide and deep flood water.
However, they found two children who were rowing a boat. But the
boat was so small that it can only carry either the 2 children, or 1
adult person and it can be rowed by single child or adult. Can the 246
villagers move across the flood water?

If yes, what is the minimum number of movements that the boat has
to make from shore to shore?
Problem
Given:
A boat can carry either:2 children, or 1 adult.
The boat can be rowed by either a child or an adult.
There are 246 adults.
2 children are available to help.
Goal: Get all 246 adults across the river using minimum boat
movements.
Problem
Strategy:
Only children can bring the boat back (since only one person can row
the boat and adults can't be left alone without the boat).
So, the process goes like this:
1. 2 children cross together.
2. 1 child returns.
3. 1 adult crosses alone.
4. 1 child returns.
This 4-step cycle moves 1 adult across and brings the boat back to the starting
side. But for the last adult, we don’t need to return the child.
Problem
Strategy:
For (n-1) adults:
(4×245) = 980 moves
For the last adult:
2 children go (1 move)
1 child returns (1 move)
1 adult goes (1 move)
→ No return needed. Total = 3 moves
So, total number of moves: 980+3 = 983 movements

If a seller gives 25% discount, he still earns 25% profit.If he now gives
10% discount, then what is the profit percentage he gains?
Problem
Let the Marked Price (MP) be ₹100.
Case 1:
Discount = 25% → Selling Price (SP) = 75% of MP = ₹75
Profit = 25% → Cost Price (CP) = (100/100+Profit%) X SP = (100/125) X 75 = 60
So, Cost Price is ₹60
Case 2:
Now the seller gives a 10% discount,
SP = 90% of MP = ₹ 90 & CP = ₹ 60 same as earlier

Profit = SP-CP = 90 - 60 = ₹ 30 And Profit %age is (30/60)X100 = 50 %

Problem

40% of the population of a village migrated to different cities in search

of jobs.10% of the remaining population died due to floods. The
present population is 1,08,000.What was the original population?
Problem

Let the original population be x.

40% migrated → Remaining = 60% of x = 0.6x
10% of this remaining died → Alive = 90% of 0.6x
= 0.9 X 0.6x = 0.54x
We are told this remaining population is 1,08,000
0.54x = 1,08,000
X = 200000
