4.13. Mixed Up Code Practice¶

Try to solve each of the following. Click the Check Me button to check each solution. You will be told if your solution is too short, has a block in the wrong order, or you are using the wrong block. Some of the problems have an extra block that isn’t needed in the correct solution. Try to solve these on your phone or other mobile device!

The following program segment should print Maria’s first name on one line and her last name on the next line. But, the blocks have been mixed up and include an extra block that isn’t needed in the solution. Drag the blocks from the left and put them in the correct order on the right. Click the Check Me button to check your solution.

        String firstName = "Maria";
String lastName = "Hernandez";
---
System.out.println(firstName);
---
System.out.println(lastName);
---
System.out.println(firstname); #distractor

The following program segment should print the words to a famous poem. But the blocks have been mixed up. Drag the blocks from the left and put them in the correct order on the right. Click the Check Me button to check your solution.

        System.out.println("Roses are red");
---
System.out.println("Violets are blue");
---
System.out.println("Sugar is sweet");
---
System.out.println("And so are you");

The main method in the following class should print Marcus’s name on one line and his favorite color on the next line. But, the blocks have been mixed up and include an extra block that isn’t needed in the solution. Drag the needed blocks from the left and put them in the correct order on the right.

---
} // end of class
---
        System.out.println(Name); #distractor

The main method in the following class should print the first 2 characters of the message followed by the last 2 characters of the message.

        public class Test1
{
---
    public static void main(String[] args)

---
        String part1 = message.substring(0,2);
        String part2 = message.substring(message.length() - 2);
---
        System.out.println(part1 + part2);
---
    } // end main method
---
} // end class
---
        System.out.println(part1 * part2); #distractor

The main method in the following class should print the name on one line followed by the age on the next line. But, the blocks have been mixed up and include an extra block that isn’t needed in the solution. Drag the needed blocks from the left and put them in the correct order on the right. Click the Check Me button to check your solution.

        public class Test1

        System.out.println("Your name is " + name);
---
        System.out.println("Your age is " + age);
---
    } // end main method
---
} // end class
---
        System.out.println("Your age is " age); #distractor

The main method in the following class should print the name on one line and the favorite food on the next line.
