Chapter 3: Program Statements Solutions Multiple Choice Solutions True/False Solutions e d e d c a b c d a T F F F T F T T F Short Answer Solutions What happens in the MinOfThree program if two or more of the values are equal? The program still prints the lowest value. Because only less than comparisons are made, the comparison of two equal values produces a false result. If two values are equal, and lower than the third value, then one of the two lower but equal values is printed. If all three values are equal, then this value is printed. Which “version” of the equal value is irrelevant. If exactly two of the values are equal, does it matter whether the equal values are lower or higher than the third? The correct result is determined in either case. If the two equal values are lower than the third, then one of the two lower but equal values is printed. If the two equal values are higher than the third, then the third value is printed. What is wrong with the following code fragment? Rewrite it so that it produces correct output. if total MAX if total sum System.out.println total MAX and is sum. ; else System.out.println total is not equal to MAX ; Despite the indentation, the else clause is associated with the immediately preceding if rather than the first if. The program will produce the correct output if it is rewritten as: if total MAX if total sum System.out.println “total MAX and is sum.” ; else System.out.println “total is not equal to MAX” ; What is wrong with the following code fragment? Will this code compile if it is part of an otherwise valid program? Explain. if length MIN_LENGTH System.out.println The length is minimal. ; The assignment operator is used erroneously in place of the equality operator . Hence, it will not compile in an otherwise valid program. 3.4 What output is produced by the following code fragment? int num 87, max 25; if num max*2 System.out.println apple ; System.out.println orange ;
