Programming Fundamentals I (Chapter 3)
An important style rule you should follow when writing if statements is to line up the conditionally executed statement with the if statement. Question options: True False
False
Programs never need more than one path of execution. Question options: True False
False
When testing for character values, the switch statement does not test for the case of the character. Question options: True False
False
A local variable's scope always ends at the closing brace of the block of code in which it is declared. Question options: True False
True
Because the || operator performs short-circuit evaluation, your boolean expression will generally be evaluated faster if the subexpression that is most likely to be true is on the left. Question options: True False
True
