3. Operators
7. Given:
1. class Comp2 {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. float f1 = 2.3f;
4. float[][] f2 = {{42.0f}, {1.7f, 2.3f}, {2.6f, 2.7f}};
5. float[] f3 = {2.7f};
6. Long x = 42L;
7. // insert code here
8. System.out.println("true");
9. }
10. }
And the following five code fragments:
F1. if(f1 == f2)
F2. if(f1 == f2[2][1])
F3. if(x == f2[0][0])
F4. if(f1 == f2[1,1])
F5. if(f3 == f2[2])
What is true?
A. One of them will compile, only one will be true.
B. Two of them will compile, only one will be true.
C. Two of them will compile, two will be true.
D. Three of them will compile, only one will be true.
E. Three of them will compile, exactly two will be true.
F. Three of them will compile, exactly three will be true.
Answer:
-> D is correct. Fragments F2, F3, and F5 will compile, and only F3 is true.
-> A, B, C, E, and F are incorrect. F1 is incorrect because you can’t compare a primitive to an array. F4 is incorrect syntax to access an element of a two-dimensional array.
8. Given:
class Fork {
public static void main(String[] args) {
if(args.length == 1 | args[1].equals("test")) {
System.out.println("test case");
} else {
System.out.println("production " + args[0]);
} } }
And the command-line invocation:
java Fork live2
What is the result?
A. test case
B. production
C. test case live2
D. Compilation fails.
E. An exception is thrown at runtime.
Answer:
-> E is correct. Because the short circuit (||) is not used, both operands are evaluated. Since args[1] is past the args array bounds, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
-> A, B, C, and D are incorrect based on the above.
9. Given:
class Foozit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer x = 0;
Integer y = 0;
for(Short z = 0; z < 5; z++)
if((++x > 2) || (++y > 2))
x++;
System.out.println(x + " " + y);
} }
What is the result?
A. 5 1 B. 5 2 C. 5 3 D. 8 1
E. 8 2 F. 8 3 G. 10 2 H. 10 3
Answer:
-> E is correct. The first two times the if test runs, both x and y are incremented once (the x++ is not reached until the third iteration). Starting with the third iteration of the loop, y is never touched again, because of the short-circuit operator.
-> A, B, C, D, F, G, and H are incorrect based on the above.
10. Given:
class Titanic {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Boolean b1 = true;
boolean b2 = false;
boolean b3 = true;
if((b1 & b2) | (b2 & b3) & b3)
System.out.print("alpha ");
if((b1 = false) | (b1 & b3) | (b1 | b2))
System.out.print("beta ");
} }
What is the result?
A. beta
B. alpha
C. alpha beta
D. Compilation fails.
E. No output is produced.
F. An exception is thrown at runtime.
Answer:
-> E is correct. In the second if test, the leftmost expression is an assignment, not
a comparison. Once b1 has been set to false, the remaining tests are all false.
-> A, B, C, D, and F are incorrect based on the above.
11. Given:
class Feline {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Long x = 42L;
Long y = 44L;
System.out.print(" " + 7 + 2 + " ");
System.out.print(foo() + x + 5 + " ");
System.out.println(x + y + foo());
}
static String foo() { return "foo"; }
}
What is the result?
A. 9 foo47 86foo
B. 9 foo47 4244foo
C. 9 foo425 86foo
D. 9 foo425 4244foo
E. 72 foo47 86foo
F. 72 foo47 4244foo
G. 72 foo425 86foo
H. 72 foo425 4244foo
I. Compilation fails.
Answer:
-> G is correct. Concatenation runs from left to right, and if either operand is a String, the operands are concatenated. If both operands are numbers they are added together. Unboxing works in conjunction with concatenation.
-> A, B, C, D, E, F, H, and I are incorrect based on the above.
12. Place the fragments into the code to produce the output 33. Note, you must use each fragment exactly once.
CODE:
class Incr {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer x = 7;
int y = 2;
x ___ ___;
___ ___ ___;
___ ___ ___;
___ ___ ___;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
FRAGMENTS:
Answer:
class Incr {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer x = 7;
int y = 2;
x *= x;
y *= y;
y *= y;
x -= y;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
Yeah, we know it’s kind of puzzle-y, but you might encounter something like it on the real exam.
