Consider the following code segment. for (int x = 0; x <= 4; x++) // Line 1 { for (int y = 0; y < 4; y++) // Line 3 { System.out.print("a"); } System.out.println(); } Which of the following best explains the effect of simultaneously changing x <= 4 to x < 4 in line 1 and y < 4 to y <= 4 in line 3 ?

"a" will be printed the same number of times because while the number of output lines will decrease by 1, the length of each line will increase by 1.

The following method is intended to return a string containing the character at position n in the string str. For example, getChar("ABCDE", 2) should return "C". /* missing precondition */ public String getChar(String str, int n) { return str.substring(n, n + 1); } Which of the following is the most appropriate precondition for the method so that it does not throw an exception?

/* Precondition: 0 <= n <= str.length() - 1 */

Consider the following class definition. Each object of the class Item will store the item's name as itemName, the item's regular price, in dollars, as regPrice, and the discount that is applied to the regular price when the item is on sale as discountPercent. For example, a discount of 15% is stored in discountPercent as 0.15. public class Item { private String itemName; private double regPrice; private double discountPercent; public Item (String name, double price, double discount) { itemName = name; regPrice = price; discountPercent = discount; } public Item (String name, double price) { itemName = name; regPrice = price; discountPercent = 0.25; } /* Other methods not shown */ } Which of the following code segments, found in a class other than Item, can be used to create an item with a regular price of $10 and a discount of 25% ? Item b = new Item("blanket", 10.0, 0.25); Item b = new Item("blanket", 10.0); Item b = new Item("blanket", 0.25, 10.0);

Consider the following while loop. Assume that the int variable k has been properly declared and initialized. while (k < 0) { System.out.print("*"); k++; } Which of the following ranges of initial values for k will guarantee that at least one "*" character is printed? k < 0 k = 0 k > 0

I only

Consider the definition of the Person class below. The class uses the instance variable adult to indicate whether a person is an adult or not. public class Person { private String name; private int age; private boolean adult; public Person (String n, int a) { name = n; age = a; if (age >= 18) { adult = true; } else { adult = false; } } } Which of the following statements will create a Person object that represents an adult person?

Person p = new Person ("Homer", 23);

for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { for (int k = 0; k < 4; k++) { System.out.println("Fun"); } } Which of the following best explains how changing the outer for loop header to for (int j = 0; j <= 3; j++) affects the output of the code segment?

The string "Fun" will be printed more times because the outer loop will execute more times.

Consider the following code segment. int j = 1; while (j < 5) { int k = 1; while (k < 5) { System.out.println(k); k++; } j++; } Which of the following best explains the effect, if any, of changing the first line of code to int j = 0; ?

There will be four more values printed because the outer loop will iterate one additional time.

for (int outer = 0; outer < 3; outer++) { for (/* missing loop header */) { System.out.print(outer + "" + inner + "_"); } } Which of the following can be used as a replacement for /* missing loop header */ so that the code segment produces the output 00_01_02_11_12_22_ ?

int inner = outer; inner < 3; inner++

Which of the following code segments produces the output "987654321"?

int num = 10; { while (num &gt; 1) { num- -; System.out.print(num); }

Consider the following method, which is intended to return the product of 3 and the nonnegative difference between its two int parameters. public int threeTimesDiff (int num1, int num2) { return 3 * (num1 - num2); } Which, if any, precondition is required so that the method works as intended for all values of the parameters that satisfy the precondition?

num1 >= num2

The Thing class below will contain a String attribute, a constructor, and the helper method, which will be kept internal to the class. public class Thing { /* missing code */ } Which of the following replacements for /* missing code */ is the most appropriate implementation of the class?

private String str; public Thing(String s) { /* implementation not shown */ } private void helper() { /* implementation not shown */ }

The Fraction class below will contain two int attributes for the numerator and denominator of a fraction. The class will also contain a method fractionToDecimal that can be accessed from outside the class. public class Fraction { /* missing code */ // constructor and other methods not shown } Which of the following replacements for /* missing code */ is the most appropriate implementation of the class?

private int numerator; private int denominator; public double fractionToDecimal() { return (double) numerator / denominator; }

The statement below, which is located in a method in a different class, creates a new Person object with its attribute name initialized to "Washington";. Person p = new Person("Washington"); Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing constructor */ so that the object p is correctly created?

public Person(String n) { name = n; }

Consider the following class definition. public class Tester { private int num1; private int num2; /* missing constructor */ } The following statement appears in a method in a class other than Tester. It is intended to create a new Tester object t with its attributes set to 10 and 20. Tester t = new Tester(10, 20); Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing constructor */ so that the object t is correctly created?

public Tester(int first, int second) { num1 = first; num2 = second; }
