The pages of this web site are not formatted to conserve paper, but my new book (ISBN: 0-9745862-0-X) is formatted to save paper, save your printer cartridge, save a loose-leaf binder, and save money. If you prefer to work my exams from printed pages, then give your printer a rest and buy my new book.
Today, you can find my book at BookSurge.com.
Are you a university student studying Java programming? Do you agree that my book would serve as a helpful workbook and companion to be used along with the Java fundamentals textbook that is currently being used in your class? If so, then please ask your professor to consider using my book in future classes.
If you have any questions or comments concerning my mock exams or my book, then please send an e-mail to me at scjpexam2000@yahoo.com.
I would also like to read your response to the following questions.
| No. | Answer | Remark | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | j | Compile-time error | Both operands of the conditional and operator and the conditional or operator must be of type boolean. |
| 2 | e | Prints: true,false,false | The conditional and expression is not evaluated, because the left hand operand of the conditional or expression is true. The original expression is as follows: x = (a = true) || (b = true) && (c = true). The left hand operand of the conditional or expression is the result of the assignment expression, (a = true). Since the left hand operand of the conditional or expression is true, the right hand operand will not be evaluated. In this case, the right hand operand is the conditional and expression. Consequently, neither operand of the conditional and expression is evaluated and the variables, b and c, maintain their default values of false. |
| 3 | d | Prints: false,true,true | The right hand operand of the conditional or operator is evaluated only if the left hand operand is false. The right hand operand of the conditional and operator is only evaluated if the left hand operand is true. In this case, the left hand operand of the conditional or operator is false, so the right hand operand must also be evaluated. The left hand operand of the conditional and operator is the result of the conditional or expression, true, so the right hand operand is evaluated. |
| 4 | c | Prints: BFCTAT | The right operand of the conditional or operator is evaluated only if the left hand operand is false. In this case, the left operand of the first conditional or operator is false so the right hand operand is evaluated. No further evaluation of the expression is necessary so the right hand operand of the second conditional or operator is not evaluated. |
