Please complete the following post-test.

1-1: Unit 1 Output:

• Practice 3.D: Explain why a code segment will not compile or work as intended.

• LO 1.3.A: Develop code to generate output and determine the result that would be displayed

Consider the following code segment.

System.out.print(Take all the courses in your curriculum.);
System.out.println(Ask questions.);
System.out.println(--Katherine Johnson);

The code segment is intended to produce the following output but does not work as intended.

Take all the courses in your curriculum. Ask questions.
--Katherine Johnson

Which changes should be made so that the code segment produces the intended output?

I.   In line 1, print should be changed to println.
II.  In lines 1, 2, and 3, print should be capitalized.
III. In lines 1, 2, and 3, the text inside the parentheses should be in quotation marks.

• I only

• print is correct since a new line is not printed after the first line of output.

• II only

• Only class names like System are capitalized.

• III only

• Correct.

• I and II

• I and II are not correct.

• I and III

• print is correct since a new line is not printed after the first line of output.

1-7: Unit 2 Loops:

• LO 2.8.A Develop code to represent iterative processes using for loops and determine the result of these processes.

Complete the loop below by filling in the missing code. The loop should calculate the number of leap years between the variables year1 and year2, inclusive, using a helper method isLeapYear(year) which returns true if year is a leap year and false otherwise.

int year1 = 2000;
int year2 = 2020;
int count = 0;

/* Missing Code */
{
      if (isLeapYear(y))
          count++;
}

• for (int year1 = 2000; int year2 = 2020; count++)

• The for-loop should initialize, test, and increment the loop variable y.

• for (int y = year2 - year1; y < year2; y++)

• y should start counting from year1.

• for (int y = year1; y <= year2; y++)

• Correct. The for loops counts from year1 to year2.

• for (int year1 = 2000; year1 < year2; year1++)

     {
          result += str.substring(i, i + 1);
     }
     return result;
}

What value is returned as a result of the method call changeStr(“ABCDE”)?

• “ABCDE”

• The for-loop increments the string index i by 2’s, visiting every other character.

• “BCDE”

• The for-loop increments the string index i by 2’s, visiting every other character.

• “AC”

• The character A is at index 0, but the loop starts at index 1.

• “BD”

{
    /* missing code */
}

Which of the following replacements for the missing code is the most appropriate implementation of a class Cat which contains attributes for the cat’s name and age and a constructor?

• public String name;
  public int age;
  public Cat(String name, int age)
  {
    name = name;
    age = age;
  }

• private String name;
  private int age;
  public Cat(String n, int a)
  {
    name = n;
    age = a;
  }
  

• Correct. The constructor initializes the instance variables to the parameter variables.

• public String name;
  public int age;
  public Cat(String n, int a)
  {
    name = n;
    age = a;
  }
  

• The instance variables should be private.

• private String name;
  private int age;
  public Cat(String n, int a)
  {
    n = name;
    a = age;
  }
  

• name should be set to n, not the n to name.

• public String name;
  public int age;
  public Cat(String n, int a)
  {
    n = name;
    a = age;
  }
  

• name should be set to n, not the n to name, and the instance variables should be private.

    public void getId()
    {
        return id;
    }
}

The accessor method getId is intended to return the id of a Student object. Which of the following best explains why the class does not compile?

• The getId method should be declared as private.

• It should be public.

• The getId method should have a parameter.

• It does not need a parameter.

• The getId method should not return a value.

• LO 4.4.A Develop code used to traverse the elements in a 1D array and determine the result of these traversals.

Consider an integer array which has been declared and initialized with one or more integer values such as:

int[] array =  { 10, 20, 30 };

Which of the following code segments doubles all the values in the array?

I. int i = 0;
   while (i < array.length)
   {
       array[i] *= 2;
   }
II. for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
    {
        array[i] *= 2;
    }
III. for (int i = 1; i <= array.length; i++)
     {
          array[i] *= 2;
     }

• I only

• This is an infinite loop. i needs to be incremented.

• II only

• Correct.

     {
        temp = (array[i] == value);
     }
     return temp;
}

• Whenever the first element in array is equal to value

• temp will change its value as each element in the array is visited.

• Whenever array contains any element which equals value

• temp will change its value as each element in the array is visited, so it may change after finding an element which equals value.

• Whenever the last element in array is equal to value

• Correct. temp will change its value as each element in the array is visited.

• Whenever more than 1 element in array is equal to value

• If the 1 element is the last element, it will still return true.

• Whenever exactly 1 element in array is equal to value

• Many elements can be equal to value, as long as the last one is equal.
