REVIEW QUESTIONS

Sections 2.22.7
2.1 Which of the following identifiers are valid? Which are Java
keywords?
applet, Applet, a++, a, 4#R, $4, #44, apps
class, public, int, x, y, radius
Valid identifiers
Applet , applet ,$4, x , y , radius,
apps

Invalid identifiers
a++ , --a,4#R , #44, class,
public, int ,

Java keywords: class, public, int

Example of error in NetBeans when you use invalid identifiers:

2.2 Translate the following algorithm into Java code:

Step 1: Declare a double variable named miles with initial value
100;
Step 2: Declare a double constant named
MILES_PER_KILOMETER with value1.609;
Step 3: Declare a double variable named kilometers, multiply
miles and
MILES_PER_KILOMETER, and assign the result to kilometers.
Step 4: Display kilometers to the console.
What is kilometers after Step 4?

2.3 What are the benefits of using constants? Declare an int

constant SIZE with value 20.
1.
2.
3.

You dont have to repeatedly type the same value.

If you have to change the constant value, you need to change it only in a single
location in the source code
A descriptive name for a constant makes the program easy to read.

Must be declared and initialized in the

same statement
Constants named in uppercase

2.4 Assume that int a = 1 and double d = 1.0, and that each
expression is independent.

Expression
Result
a = 46 / 9;
5
a = 46 % 9 + 4 * 4 - 2;
15//% in the same level of *
a = 45 + 43 % 5 * (23 * 3 %
48
2);
a %= 3 / a + 3;
1//%assignment at the end
d = 4 + d * d + 4;
9.0
d += 1.5 * 3 + (++a);
7.5
d -= 1.5 * 3 + a++;
-4.5

Day1: Monday, Day2: Tuesday, Day3: Wednesday,
Day4: Thursday, Day5:Firday, Day6:Saturday, Day7: Sunday
(2+100)%7
2: today Tuesday is the second day
100: after 100
7: a week has 7 days
The result is 4 Thursday
