Consider the following method:
What is returned as a result of the call mystery(“Lunchbox”, 4)?
xoxbox
Consider the following code segment:
int x = 10;
int y = 2;
int count = 1;
while(x > y)
{
x /= y;
count++;
}
What will the value of count be after executing the code segment?
3
What will the final result be when run in the console?
* * * *
* * *
* *
*
Consider the following code segment:
String word = “Cafeteria”;
for(/* missing condition */)
{
System.out.print(word.substring(i+1,i+2) + “ “);
}
The code segment is intended to print every other letter in the word, starting with index 0, to produce the result C f t r a. Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing condition */ so that the code segment works as intended?
- int i = 0; i < word.length(); i+=2
- int i = -1; i < word.length(); i+=2
- int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++
- int i = -1; i <= word.length(); i+=2
- int i = word.length() - 1; i < -1 ; i-=2
- int i = -1; i < word.length(); i+=2
Consider the following code segment:
Which of the following for loops would return the same value if System.out.println(sum) were printed?
III only
II, III and IV
II only
II and III
III and I
II and III
Consider the following method:
What would the value of sum be after the method call countPs(“Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers”)?
9
How many times will the word “Heyo!” be printed in the following code segment?
15
Consider the following code segment:
int num = 8;
for(int i = num; i > 0; i -= 3) //Line 2
{
System.out.print(“ “ + i + “ “);
}
Which of the following best explains how changing i > 0 to i >= 0 will change the result?
- An additional value will be printed, as the for loop will iterate one additional time.
- There will be no change in the program because the for loop will iterate the same number of times.
- One fewer value will be printed, as the for loop will iterate one fewer time.
- This program will result in an infinite loop, as the condition will never be false.
- There will be no change in the program because the for loop will iterate the same number of times
Consider the following method:
What value word would be printed as a result of the call mix(“Hippopotamus”, “p”)?
Hi0o0tamus
Consider the following incomplete code segment, which is intended to increase the value of each digit in a String by one. For example, if num is 12345, then the resulting String would be 23456.
Which of the following should replace /* Missing Loop Header */ so that the code segment works as intended?
- counter < num.length() - 1
- counter <= num.length()
- counter < num.length()
- counter > num.length()
- counter < num.indexOf(counter)
- counter < num.length()
Consider the following code segment:
Which of the following best explains the result of changing j < 4 to j > 4 on line 1?
- The numbers will be printed in reverse order compared to the original because the outer loop will occur in reverse order.
- The program will produce the same result, as the number of iterations in the outer loop hasn’t changed.
- An infinite loop will occur because the termination of the loop will never be reached.
- No output will be produced, as the boolean condition will never be met in the outer for loop.
- No output will be produced, as the boolean condition will never be met in the outer for loop
What, if anything, is printed as a result of executing this statement?
- 150
- 310
- 10204080
- 10204080160
- There will not be any result printed, as ints cannot be converted to type String.
- 10204080
What are while loops?
while (boolean expression)
{
//code executes until false
}
What are infinite loops?
Occurs when the expression in a while loop never evaluates to false. The program continues to run infinitely
What is the purpose of “break?”
Breaks out of a while loop and executes statement that immediately follows while loop
What is the purpose of return?
Keyword used in methods to return a value back to the initial program that called the method
How can you avoid infinity loops?
- Add a condition to the while loop
- Add a “break” statement
- Add a return keyword
What are for loops?
- Another tool we can use to repeat code sequences
- for loops allows repeating a set of statement a specfic number of times!
for(variable initialization; boolean expression; increment)
{
//will execute if boolean is true, and until the boolean expression is false
}
- variable initialization: The initialization; this variable controls the for loop execution
- boolean expression: if the expression is false, the for loop will not execute
- increment: changes the value of the loop control variables
