Help with some questions. Thank you!

1 answer:

Answer:

1. E: II and III only

2. A: (int)(Math.random() * (upper − lower) ) + lower

3. A: The value of answer is N

4. E: while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) && numGuesses <= 15 )

5. C: 21

Explanation:

1. Which of the following is equivalent to while(userGuess != secretNumber)?

I. while( userGuess < secretNumber && userGuess > secretNumber)  

NO - This will test until the userGuess is smaller AND greater than the secretNumber, at the same time... so that condition will never be true.

II. while( userGuess < secretNumber || userGuess > secretNumber)

YES - This will test the value of userGuess and see if it's smaller OR greater than secetNumber.  So, it will loop until the user guesses right.

III. while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) )

YES, this will negate the match with the secretNumber.  In order words, if it's not a match, it will return true... so the loop will run until it finds a false condition (a match).

As you can see, only II and III are valid.

2.  If the lower limit were inclusive and the upper limit exclusive, which expression would properly generate values for the secret number?

A: (int)(Math.random() * (upper − lower) ) + lower

Since the lower limit is INCLUSIVE, we mustn't add one to the lower limit.  Also, the Math.random() function returns a value that matches our needs; it returns a value between [0,1[ (meaning the 0 is included, but not the 1).

Assuming the (int) caster does return only the integer portion doing a round down of the result, we'll be perfect.

3. What conclusion can be made about the state of the program when the while loop terminates?

while(!answer.equals( "N"))

{.....

A: The value of answer is N

The condition in the loops reads as "While the negation of the answer being 'N', loop".  If the answer equals 'N' then the method should return true... which will be negated by the '!' operator, causing the condition to be false. Thus we know that if the loop ends, the value of answer contains 'N', any other value will keep the loop going.

4. Assuming numGuesses is initialized to 1, how would the while statement be modified to include an extra criterion limiting the number of guesses to 15?

E: while( !(userGuess == secretNumber) && numGuesses <= 15 )

This modified condition will first test to see if the user has guessed the secretNumber (if he has, the first sub-parenthesis will be true... so the left side of the && operator will be false due to the negation operator.  The right side of the && operator will check to see how many tries have been attempted. Since the counter starts at 1, it needs to go up to 15 inclusively... so the <= is the right comparison operator.

5. After execution of the following code segment, what will be displayed?

int x = 1;

while(x < 18)

{

x += 5;

}

System.out.println(x);

C: 21

The x variable is initialized with 1... then enters the loop, in which it is incremented by 5 at each passage.

So after first passage, x = 6

After second passage, x = 11

After third passage, x = 16

After fourth passage, x = 21

Cannot enter the loop again because 21 > 18.

So, it will print out the value of 21.

How are static variables and methods created in Java? What happens if a non-static method of a class tries to access a static va
9966 [12]

Answer:

Static variables are the variables decaraed with keyword static, static variables must be deacraled inside the class body, means we can not declare a static variable inside a method or consttructor, static variable belongs to class, for a class only one copy is created for static variable and used by all the objects/instances.

Static variable can access with class name like

X.i

Static method are the methods defined with static keyword, static method are also part of a class, we can access static meethod using class name like

X.printI()  

Explanation:

class X

{

//to create a static variable we need use static keyword with variable name like

public static int i;

// to create a static method we need to use static keyword while defining a method like

public static void printHello() {

 System.out.println("Hello");

}

/*

 * A non static method can access static variable of a class there is no issue

 * with that we can use a static variable in a non static method like

 */

public void printI() {

 System.out.println(i);

}

/*

 * As long as the class exist in JVM static variables will be there, as static

 * variable belong to class not with the instance,

 * it does not matters if there are instance exist or not

 */

In a linked chain implementation of a stack ADT the performance of popping am emtry from the stack is
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

B.O(1)

Explanation:

When we are implementing ADT stack using linked chain we can pop an entry from the stack having O(1) time complexity because in linked chain we have the head or top pointer in linked chain only.Popping and pushing in stack happens on only one end that is top.So we have move to move top in linked chain to the next and delete prev node.
