B. 2.0

C. 3.0

B. x = 1;

C. x := 1;

D. 1 := x;

E. x == 1;

11. Which of the following assignment statements is incorrect?

A. i = j = k = 1;

B. i = 1; j = 1; k = 1;

C. i = 1 = j = 1 = k = 1;

12. To improve readability and maintainability, you should declare _________ instead of using literal values such as 3.14159.

A. variables

B. methods

C. constants

D. classes

13. Which of these data types requires the most amount of memory?

A. long

B. int

C. short

D. byte

14. Analyze the following code:

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int n = 10000 * 10000 * 10000;

System.out.println("n is " + n);

}

}

A. The program displays n is 1000000000000

B. The result of 10000 * 10000 * 10000 is too large to be stored in an int variable n. This causes an overflow and the program is aborted.

C. The result of 10000 * 10000 * 10000 is too large to be stored in an int variable n. This causes an overflow and the program continues to execute because Java does not report errors on overflow.

D. The result of 10000 * 10000 * 10000 is too large to be stored in an int variable n. This causes an underflow and the program is aborted.

E. The result of 10000 * 10000 * 10000 is too large to be stored in an int variable n. This causes an underflow and the program continues to execute because Java does not report errors on underflow.
