Exercise on Lesson 9
Use the following code for problems 1 – 10 and give the value of true_false for each: int i = 10, j = 3;
boolean true_false;
1. true_false = (j > i);
2. true_false = (i > j);
3. true_false = (i= = j);
4. true_false=((j<=i)||(j>=i) );
5. true_false=( (i>j)&&(j==0) );
6. true_false=( (j<50)||(j!=33) );
7. true_false=( !(j>=0)||(i<=50) );
8. true_false = ( !(! (!true)) );
9. true_false = (5 < = 5);
10. true_false = (j != i);
11. Write a statement that will store a true in boolean b if the value in the variable m is 44 or less.
12. Write a statement that will store a false in boolean b if the value in r is greater than 17.
13. What is returned by the following expression? (Recall that the precedence order of logical
operators is !, &&, and finally | |.)
!( (2>3) | | (5= =5) && (7>1) && (4<15) | | (35<=36) && (89!=34) )
In problem 14 – 16 what is the output?
14. String s1 = “school BUS”;
if ( s1.equals(“school bus”) )
System.out.println(“Equal”); else
System.out.println(“Not equal”);
15. String s1 = “school BUS”;
if ( s1.equalsIgnoreCase(“school bus”) ) System.out.println(“Equal”);
else
System.out.println(“Not equal”);
9-3
16. int j = 19, m = 200; if (j= =18)
m++;
j++; System.out.println(m);
System.out.println(j);
17. Write a statement that will store a false in boolean b if the value in g is not equal to 34.
18. Write a statement that will store a true in boolean b if integer k is even, false if it is odd.
19. Write a program that inputs a String from the keyboard after the prompt, “Enter your
password”. If it’s entered exactly as “XRay”, printout “Password entered successfully.”;
otherwise, have it printout “Incorrect password.”
20. What is output by the following “nested ifs” code? int k = 79;
if (k>50) {
if (k<60) {System.out.println(“One”);} else
{ System.out.println(“Two”);}
} else {
if (k>30) System.out.println(“Three”);
else
System.out.println(“Four”);
Exercise on Lesson 10
1. What are the primary three permissible data types to use for x in the following? switch (x){ . .
.}
2. What is the output of the following code? int x = 3, p = 5, y = -8;
switch(x)
{
case 2:
p++;
case 3: case 4:
y+=(--p);
break; case 5:
y+=(p++); }
System.out.println(y);
3. Write a switch structure that uses the character myChar. It should increment the integer
variable y if myChar is either a capital or small letter G. It should decrement y if myChar is
either a capital or a small letter M. If myChar is anything else, add 100 to y.
4. What is output by the following code? String s = “Green”;
q = 0; switch(s)
{
case “Red”:
q++; case “Green”:
q++; case “Blue”: q++;
case “Yellow”: q++;
default: q++;
} System.out.println(--q);
5. Write a line of code that declares the variable chr as a character type and assigns the letter z to
it.
6. What is output by the following? int x = 10, y = 12;
System.out.println( “The sum is ” + x + y ); System.out.println( “The sum is ” + (x + y) );
7. Convert the following code into a switch statement.
10-5
if(speed = = 75)
{
System.out.println(“Exceeding speed limit”);
}
else if( (speed = = 69) || (speed = = 70) )
{
System.out.println(“Getting close”);
}
else if(speed = = 65)
{
System.out.println(“Cruising”);
} else {
System.out.println(“Very slow”); }
8. Is default a mandatory part of a switch structure?
9. Write a line of code that converts String s = “X” into a character called chr.
Exercise on Lesson 11
In each problem below state what is printed unless directed otherwise.
1. intj=0;
for (int g = 0; g <5; g++)
j++; System.out.println(j);
2. ints=1;
for (int j = 3; j >= 0; j--) {
s = s + j; }
System.out.println(s);
3. intp=6;
int m = 20, j;
for (j = 1; j < p; j++); //Notice the semicolon on this line {
m = m + j * j; }
System.out.println(m);
