62Decide the best answer for the following code:

int x = 6; int y = 5; int z = 10;

if(x < z || z < y)

{

System.out.println(“True.”);

}

else

{

System.out.println(“False.”);

}
1. A“False” will be printed, because both conditions need to be true in order to print “True.”
2. BBoth conditions are true therefore “True” will be printed.
3. CSince at least one of the conditions is true, “True” will be printed.
4. DSince at least one of the conditions is false, “False” will be printed.
63Decide the best answer for the following code:

char firstGL = 'A';

int studentYear = 4;

if(studentYear >= 4)

{

if(firstGL != 'A')

{

System.out.println(" Sorry! You have to take another GL course.");

}

else

{

System.out.println( “Congratulations! You do not have to take another GL course.");

}

} else

System.out.println("You need to be at least a 4th year student to be exempted.");
1. AThe student will have to take a second GL course because the student has to be in a higher year.
2. BThe student does not have to take a second GL course because they have met all of the requirements for an exemption.
3. CA grade of “A” is not necessary in order to qualify for an exemption. Being a 4th year student is sufficient for qualification.
4. DBoth b and c.
64Decide the best answer for the following code:

char grade = ‘B’;

switch (grade)

{

case ‘A’:

System.out.println(“GPA is 4.0”);

break;

case ‘B’:

System.out.println(“GPA is 3.0”);

break;

case ‘C’:

System.out.println(“GPA is 2.0”);

break;

case ‘D’:

System.out.println(“GPA is 1.0”);

break;

default:

System.out.println(“No other options.”);

break;

}
1. ABreaks are always optional and at the discretion of the programmer and doesn’t make a difference.
2. BIf the break at case ‘D’ were to be removed it would not affect the logic of the code whatsoever.
3. CIf the break at case ‘B’ were to be removed case ‘C’ will become the only answer.
4. DThe code above follows “if else logic”.
65Choose the correct format for the switch:
1. Aa. switch (numeric value)
  
  {
  
  case one:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  case two:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  default:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  }
2. Bswitch (variable == variable)
  
  {
  
  case 1:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  case two:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  else:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  }
3. Cswitch (variable)
  
  {
  
  case 1:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  default:
  
  code to be executed;
  
  break;
  
  }
4. Dnone of these.

for (int day = 1; day <= 10; day++) {
System.out.println("How many hours did emp#" + emp + " work on day# " + day + " ? ");
hours += keyboard.nextInt(); }
System.out.println("Emp# " + emp + " earned " + (hours * hourlyRate) + " in the past 10 days.");
}
1. Ato get a varying amount of hours worked each day
2. Bto accumulate the amount of hours worked in a 10-day period
3. Cto provide an accumulator that is re-initialized to 0 for each employee
4. Dall of the reasons listed
132Explain why the following loop asks for the number of tokens per game:
int numTokens = 100;
int tokensPerGame = 0;
while (numTokens > 0) {
System.out.println("How many tokens are needed to play the next game?"); tokensPerGame = keyboard.nextInt();
if (tokensPerGame < numTokens)
{
numTokens -= tokensPerGame;
System.out.println("You now have " + numTokens + " tokens left to play with."); }
else {
System.out.println("Sorry, you have insu cient tokens to play that game. Pick another one.");
}
}
System.out.println("Thanks for playing!")
1. Ato calculate the cost of playing each game
2. Bto ensure there are enough tokens available to play the selected game
3. Cto accumulate the total number of tokens used to play games
4. Dto decrease the total number of tokens left by the amount of tokens needed for the selected game
133What does the following loop accomplish?

System.out.print(" " + aNum + " ");
}
System.out.println("");
}
1. Agenerates 10 lotto tickets with 5 numbers each
2. Bgenerates 5 lotto tickets with 10 numbers each
3. Censures each lottery number is between 1 and 35
4. Densure each lottery number is between 1 and 36
134String favColor = "blue"; String guessColor = "";
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);

if (guessColor.equalsIgnoreCase(favColor))
{
System.out.println("You got it!");
}
} while (! guessColor.equalsIgnoreCase(favColor));
}
1. AfavColor is a String initialized with "blue" but guessColor is a String initialized with ""
2. Bthe if-statement in the do-while loop should say if (guessColor.equalsIgnoreCase(favColor))
3. Cthe condition of the do-while should be replaced with (! guessColor.equalsIgnoreCase(favColor))
4. Dthe if-statement in the do-while loop should say if guessColor != favColor)
135When reading files using the Scanner class and the File class, the Scanner class offers multiple hasNext() methods for various data types such as int, double, String, etc.. For example, the hasNextInt() method returns true if an integer is available for reading, and false if the next item in the file is not an integer or if the end of the file has been reached.
1. ATrue
2. BFalse
136Because of the likelihood that a file fails to open, usually because the file does not exist or is in use by another program, the main() method definition contains a throws clause specifying that an exception of type IOException may be thrown.

155After watching the videos at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtykxBOVgcg look at the code below and then choose the best answer:
String name1 = "jack";
String name2 = "jAcK";
if(name1.equals(name2)) {
System.out.println("The name is Jack!"); }
else {
System.out.println("The name is not exactly the same!");
}
1. A“The name is Jack!” is the correct output because the spelling is the same.
2. B“The name is Jack!” is correct because .equals ignores the case of the word.
3. C“The name is not exactly the same!” is the correct output because the name’s cases are different.
4. DNeither of these are correct because .compareTo should have been used instead of .equals.
156String name1 = "maNdy";
String name2 = "ManDY";
if(name1.equals(name2)) {
System.out.println("The name is Mandy!");
}
else {
System.out.println("The name is not exactly the same!");
}
1. A“The name is “Mandy!” is the correct output because .equals was used.
2. B“The name is not exactly the same!” is the correct output because the two name’s cases do not match.
3. C“The name is “Mandy!” is the correct output because the correct method was used.
4. D“The name is not exactly the same!” is the correct output because .equalsIgnoreDifference was not used
157String name1 = "Michael";
String name2 = "miCHaEL";
String name3 = "sanDra";
String name4 = "Sandra";

if (name1.equalsIgnoreCase(name2) && name3.equalsIgnoreCase(name4)) {
System.out.println("The names are Michael and Sandra!"); }
else {
System.out.println("All of these names are different!");
}
1. A“All of these names are different!” is the correct output because .equals should have been used on the first half of the if statement.
2. B“All of these names are different!” is the correct output because .equals should have been used on the second half of the if statement.
3. C“The names are Michael and Sandra!” is the correct output because .equalsIgnoreCase was used correctly.
4. DNone of these are correct because the name of the correct method is .equalsCaseIgnore.
