Answer: a) Hello

3. Which of the following statements correctly represents a switch case structure?

c) switch { case 1: statements; break; }
d) case switch(expression) { 1: statements; break; }
Answer: a) switch(expression) { case 1: statements; break; }

4. What is the purpose of the default case in a switch statement?


a) To stop the execution of the program
b) To execute a statement when no case matches
c) To check all cases
d) To execute the first case always
Answer: b) To execute a statement when no case matches
5. What will be the output of the following Java code?
int a = 10, b = 20;
if (a > b)
System.out.println("A is greater");
else if (a < b)
System.out.println("B is greater");
else
System.out.println("Both are equal");
a) A is greater
b) B is greater
c) Both are equal
d) No output
Answer: b) B is greater

a) Only the matching case will execute
b) The program will terminate
c) All the cases below the matching case will also execute
d) An error will occur
Answer: c) All the cases below the matching case will also execute

c) ?:
d) for loop
Answer: c) ?:
8. What is the output of the following code?

a) True
b) False

d) No output
Answer: a) True
Reasoning and Assertion Questions

1. Assertion (A): The if-else construct is used for decision-making in Java.


Reason (R): The if statement evaluates a condition and executes a block of code if the
condition is true.
a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer: a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

2. Assertion (A): The switch statement can be used with int, char, String datatypes in
Java.
Reason (R): The switch statement only works with numeric data types.
a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer: c) A is true, but R is false.

3. Assertion (A): A break statement is necessary to prevent fall-through in a switch case.


Reason (R): Without a break, all cases below the matching case will execute
sequentially.
a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer: a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
4. Assertion (A): The ternary operator is an alternative to an if-else statement.
Reason (R): The ternary operator uses ?: to return one of two values based on a
condition.
a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer: a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

5. Assertion (A): The default case in a switch statement is optional.


Reason (R): The default case executes when none of the other cases match the
expression.
a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer: a) Both A and R are true, and R explains A.

GENERAL MCQS
1). Which of the following cannot be handled using a switch case?
a) char
b) int
c) boolean
d) String
Answer: c) boolean

2. Why is switch-case preferred over if-else in some cases?


a) Faster execution
b) More readable
c) Less chance of errors
d) All of the above
Answer: d) All of the above
3. Which statement correctly converts the following if-else into a switch case?
if (num == 5)
System.out.println("Five");
else
System.out.println("Other");
a) switch (num) { case 5: System.out.println("Five"); break; default:
System.out.println("Other"); }
b) switch (num) { case 5: System.out.println("Five"); default:
System.out.println("Other"); }
c) switch (num) { case 5: System.out.println("Other"); break; default:
System.out.println("Five"); }
d) switch (num) { default: System.out.println("Five"); break; case 5:
System.out.println("Other"); }
Answer: a) switch (num)
{
case 5: System.out.println("Five");
break;
default: System.out.println("Other");
}

4. When should you avoid using switch cases?


a) When dealing with boolean expressions
b) When having multiple conditions
c) When working with complex conditions
d) All of the above
Answer: d) All of the above
