Example Question #1 :变量Declarations
Which of the following declares a String array of sizei? (Presume Java syntax.)
String s = new String[i];
String[] s = new String[i];
String[] s[i];
String s[] = new String[i];
None of the others
String[] s = new String[i];
For arrays, it is best to think about the array itself as being a type. So, just as an int namedxis declared:
int x;
And a Stringnamedsis declared:
String s;
You begin the declaration of a String array like this:
String[]
This is like saying, "What is coming next will be an array of String objects."
Thus, your best declaration is:
String[] s = new String[i];
This declares the new size as well, appropriately using thenewoperator.
Example Question #11 :Program Implementation
Which of the following code snippets declares an array of integers using an array literal?
int[] a = {0:42,1:26,2:134,3:-13,4:45,5:234};
int a ={26134、-13、45234};
int[] a;
a[0] = 42;
a[1] = 26;
a[2] = 134;
a[3] = -13;
a[4] = 45;
a[5] = 234;
int [] = new int [6];
a[0] = 42;
a[1] = 26;
a[2] = 134;
a[3] = -13;
a[4] = 45;
a[5] = 234;
int[] a = {42,26,134,-13,45,234};
int[] a = {42,26,134,-13,45,234};
There are two things to pay attention to for this question. First, youcanmake a simple array literal in Java by enclosing the list of array elements in a pair of curly braces. Thus, the array literal
{42,26,134,-13,45,234}
is just fine! However, you do not give the indices. These are inferred. (The first element is at 0, the second at 1, etc.)
Now, you just have to assign this to anarrayobject. Thus the following is wrong:
int a ={26134、-13、45234};
You need to have the [] to indicate thatais an array:
int[] a = {42,26,134,-13,45,234};
Example Question #1 :Programming Constructs
What is the difference between double and int?
在t can hold all values whereas double can only store two-digit values.
There is no difference.
在t can hold positive numbers only and double can hold all numbers.
在t can only hold integer values, double can hold any number including decimals.
在t can hold real numbers and double can only hold imaginary numbers.
在t can only hold integer values, double can hold any number including decimals.
在t can only store integer values, whereas double can hold both integers and decimals, but at the same time uses more memory.
Example Question #2 :变量Declarations
int x=2;
double y=2.1;
float z=3.0;
int c=(x*y) + z;
What is the value of c
6.3
7.2
6
7
7.1
7
Remember that if a variable is declared as an integer, it can't have any decimals.
int c=(x*y) + z;
int c=(2*2.1)+3.0
From here, we do our math operations to solve, remembering to use the correct order of operations. Thus, start with the parentheses first then do the addition.
int c=4.2+3
int c= 4+3
int c=7
Any leftover fractions are cut off, so the answer is shortened to just 7.
Example Question #1 :变量Declarations
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string str("ComputerScience");
string mystr;
str = str + "SampleQuestionCS";
mystr = str.substr(7,8);
return 0;
}
What is the value of mystr after this code is run?
QuestionCS
SampleQuestion
Science
rScience
ComputerS
rScience
Two strings are created here: str and mystr.
在the 3rd line of main, str is concatenated with another string, making it even longer.
在the fourth line, the substr function is called. This function takes in 2 inputs, the starting index and the length of the string.
So, starting from index 7 of str, we get "r". Now, grabbing a total of 8 characters, including the "r", we get "rScience".
mystr="rScience".
Example Question #1 :变量Declarations
- Declare a string set to the the word cat.
- Declare a list of strings with the words hello, mama, and meow in it.
- Declare a hashmap of
String cat = "cat";
List
stringList.add("hello");
stringList.add("mama");
stringList.add("meow");
HashMap
hashStrings.put("world", "earth");
String cat;
List
HashMap
String cat = "cat";
List
HashMap
hashStrings.put("world", "earth");
List
stringList.add("hello");
stringList.add("mama");
stringList.add("meow");
HashMap
hashStrings.put("world", "earth");
String cat = "cat";
List
stringList.add("hello");
stringList.add("mama");
stringList.add("meow");
HashMap
hashStrings.put("world", "earth");
The correct answer defines all of the variables specified in the prompt. The answer with just the variable definitons is incorrect because it does not specify the declarations in the prompt. One the answers does not have the first variable defined so it is incorrect. And the final answer does not have the List variable declared, so it is also incorrect.
