Question 2

(i) Rewrite the following code using single if statement.

if(code == 'g')

    System.out.println("GREEN");

else if(code == 'G')

    System.out.println("GREEN")

 

OUTPUT:

b = 3 * (2 – 4 + 4)
b = 3 * 2
b = 6

}

 

OUTPUT:

boolean x = true;
switch(x){
case true: System.out.println("WIN"); break;
case false: System.out.println("LOOSE");
}

 OUTPUT:X       b

(viii) A student is trying to convert the string present in x to a numerical value, so that he can find the square root of the converted value. However, the code has an error. Name the error (syntax/logical/runtime). Correct the code so that it compiles and runs correctly.

String x = "25";
int y = Double.parseDouble(x);
double r = Math.sqrt(y);
System.out.println(r);

It is a syntax error.
String x = "25";
int y = Integer.parseInt(x);
double r = Math.sqrt(y);
System.out.println(r);
