Which of the following element is not required in a variable declaration?
-
A.type
-
B.an identifier
-
C.an assigned value
-
D.a semicolon
Correct Answer
A. A.typeExplanation
In a variable declaration, the type of the variable is not required. The type determines the kind of data that the variable can hold, such as integer, string, or boolean. However, in some programming languages, the type can be inferred based on the assigned value or the context in which the variable is used. Therefore, explicitly specifying the type is not always necessary in a variable declaration.Rate this question:

The assignment operator in the Java programming language is_________
-
A.=
-
B.==
-
C.:=
-
D.::
Correct Answer
A. A.=Explanation
The correct answer is "a.=" because in the Java programming language, the "=" symbol is used as the assignment operator. It is used to assign a value to a variable.Rate this question:

Which of the following values can you assign to a variable of type int?
-
A.0
-
B.98.0
-
C.'S'
-
D.5,000,000,000,000
Correct Answer
A. D.5,000,000,000,000Explanation
The value 5,000,000,000,000 can be assigned to a variable of type int because it falls within the range of the int data type, which typically ranges from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. This value does not exceed the maximum limit, so it is a valid value for an int variable.Rate this question:

Which of the following data type can store a value in the least amount of memory?
-
A.short
-
B.long
-
C.int
-
D.byte
Correct Answer
A. D.byteExplanation
The data type "byte" can store a value in the least amount of memory because it is the smallest data type in terms of memory size. It can store values from -128 to 127, requiring only 1 byte of memory. In comparison, "short" requires 2 bytes, "int" requires 4 bytes, and "long" requires 8 bytes of memory. Therefore, "byte" is the most efficient data type for storing small values.Rate this question:

The modulus operator_____________.
-
A.is represented by a forward slash
-
B.provide the remainder of integer division
-
C.provide the remainder of floting-point division
-
D.b and c
Correct Answer
A. B.provide the remainder of integer divisionExplanation
The modulus operator is represented by the percent symbol (%) in most programming languages. It is used to calculate the remainder of integer division. For example, if we divide 7 by 3 using the modulus operator, the result would be 1, as 7 divided by 3 equals 2 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, option b is the correct answer as it accurately describes the functionality of the modulus operator.Rate this question:

According to the rules of operator precedence,division always takes place prior to______________
-
A.multiplication
-
B.modulus
-
C.subtraction
-
D.a and b
Correct Answer
A. B.modulusExplanation
According to the rules of operator precedence, division always takes place prior to the modulus. This means that when evaluating an expression, any divisions will be performed before any modulus operations.Rate this question:

A boolean variable can hold____________
-
A.any character
-
B.any whole number
-
C.any decimal number
-
D.the value true or false
Correct Answer
A. D.the value true or falseExplanation
A boolean variable can hold the value true or false. This is because a boolean variable is a data type that can only represent two states: true or false. It is used to store and manipulate logical values in programming.Rate this question:

The "equal to" comparison operator is________________
-
A.=
-
B.==
-
C.!=
-
D.!!
Correct Answer
A. B.==Explanation
The "equal to" comparison operator, represented by "==", is used to compare two values and determine if they are equal. It returns true if the values are equal and false if they are not.Rate this question:

The value 137.68 can be held by a variable of type_____________
-
A.int
-
B.float
-
C.double
-
D.b and c
Correct Answer
A. B.floatExplanation
The value 137.68 can be held by a variable of type float because float data type can hold decimal numbers with a smaller range of values compared to double data type.Rate this question:

When you perform arithmetic with values of diverse types,the Java programming language______________
-
A.issues an error message
-
B.implicitly converts the values to a unifying type
-
C.requires you to explicitly convert the value to a unifying type
-
D.requires you to perform a cast
Correct Answer
A. B.implicitly converts the values to a unifying typeExplanation
When performing arithmetic with values of diverse types in Java, the programming language implicitly converts the values to a unifying type. This means that the values will be automatically converted to a common type before the arithmetic operation is performed. This allows the operation to be executed without any error messages or the need for explicit conversion or casting.Rate this question:

If you attempt to add a float,an int and a byte,the result will be a(n)
-
A.float
-
B.int
-
C.byte
-
D.error massage
Correct Answer
A. A.floatExplanation
When adding a float, an int, and a byte, the result will be a float. This is because when performing arithmetic operations, if any of the operands is a float, the result will also be a float. In this case, the int and byte will be automatically promoted to float before the addition is performed, resulting in a float value.Rate this question:

You use a_______________to explicitly override an implicit type.
-
A.mistake
-
B.type cast
-
C.format
-
D.type set
Correct Answer
A. B.type castExplanation
A type cast is used to explicitly override an implicit type. This means that you can use a type cast to convert a value from one data type to another, even if the conversion is not automatically done by the programming language. By using a type cast, you can ensure that the value is treated as the desired type, allowing for more precise and controlled operations.Rate this question:

Which assignment is correct?
-
A.char aChar = 5;
-
B.char aChar = "W";
-
C.char aChar = '*';
-
D.b and a
Correct Answer
A. C.char aChar = '*';Explanation
The correct assignment is c. char aChar = '*'. This is because the variable aChar is declared as a char data type, and the value assigned to it is a single character enclosed in single quotes. In this case, the character assigned is '*', which is a valid char value. Option a is incorrect because 5 is an integer value and cannot be directly assigned to a char variable. Option b is incorrect because "W" is a string value and cannot be directly assigned to a char variable. Option d is incorrect because it suggests that both b and a are correct, but option a is actually incorrect.Rate this question:

The 16-bit coding scheme employed by the Java programming language is_______________
-
A.Unicode
-
B.ASCII
-
C.EBCDIC
-
D.hexadecimal
Correct Answer
A. A.UnicodeExplanation
The Java programming language employs a 16-bit coding scheme, which means it uses 16 bits to represent each character. The correct answer is a) Unicode. Unicode is a widely used character encoding standard that assigns a unique numeric value to each character, including characters from different writing systems and languages. It allows Java to support a wide range of characters and symbols from different languages and scripts.Rate this question:
