CS 102 / CS 107 - Introduction to Programming

Midterm Exam #1 - Prof. Reed

Fall 2010
What is your name?: ___________________________
There are two sections:
I. True/False. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 points; ( 30 questions, 2 points each)
II. Multiple Choice . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 points; ( 10 questions, 4 points each)
--------------100 points total
This test is worth 10% of your final grade. Please fill in your answers on the bubble form. After the
test you may keep these pages, but you must turn in your bubble form. This test is open book and open
notes. You have 50 minutes.

For the multiple choice problems, select the best answer for each one and select the appropriate letter on
your answer sheet.

Be careful - more than one answer may seem to be correct. Many questions are tricky.
Some problems ask you to determine whether something is valid. Something is valid if it would not generate a compiler error and would execute without the program crashing.
I. True/False: (2 points each)
T F

1. In Java a class called Book should be stored in a file called Book.java

T F

2. In Eclipse it is possible to step through a program one line at a time, however to do this you
must enclose the code in the program inside of special comment markers.

T F

3. If you want to use Eclipse to develop your Java programs, your compute must also have a
Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

T F

4. Java programs can be compiled and run from the command line.

T F

5. The main() method in a Java program must always call a mainLoop() method, otherwise the
program cannot run.

T F

6. The name of a Java class must begin with a capital letter, otherwise the program will not run.

T F

7. Variable names in Java by convention use mixed case, where the words are concatenated
together and the first letter of each word is capitalized.

T F

8. In a Java program a method that does not return anything can either have a return type of void
or have no return type listed at all.

T F

9. Java methods are private by default, which means they cannot be called from outside of that
file.

T F

10. The ASCII code value for A is decimal 65

T F

11. The ASCII code value for a is decimal 95

T F

12. The decimal value 23 in binary is 11011

T F

13. Binary numbers use a left-most digit of 2 to represent negative numbers

T F

14. Single line comments using // can be nested inside block comments using /* */

T F

15. A single System.out.println( ...) statement can cause 3 output lines to be displayed.

T F

16. Several System.out.print( ...) statements can cause a single line of output to be displayed.

T F

17. Each opening brace { must have a corresponding closing brace }

T F

18. Variables that are of type boolean can be used interchangeably with variables of type int

T F

19. Variables that are of type int can be stored into double variables, but double variables cannot
be conversely stored into an int variable.

T F

20. float and double variables are exactly the same. Those two variable declarations can be used
interchangeably.

T F

21. To end a Java program both the break or the exit statement may be used.

T F

22. A do loop (also called a do-while loop) is the best choice for displaying a menu and handling
the user response.

T F

23. The section of code shown below would compile and run and give as output:

int sum = 0;
for( int i=0; i<=3; i++)
sum += i;
System.out.println( sum);

T F

24. The section of code shown below would compile and run:
int sum = 0;
for( ; ; )
;
System.out.println( sum);

T F

25. Any code that can be written with a switch-case statement could also be written with multiple
if-else statements.

T F

26. The following statements in Java would be useful for helping check if the length of a String
is 3 characters long.
String name = "123";
if( name.length() = 3) {
System.out.println("Length is three.");
}

T F

27. The output of the following lines of code is:

Not Done End

boolean Done = false;

if (Done = false)
System.out.println("Not");
if( Done = true)
System.out.println("Done ");
else
System.out.println("Undecided ");
System.out.println("End");

T F

28. The output of the following statements is:

10 Done

int y = 4;

System.out.println(" Done");

T F

29. The following code prints the words:

1 Done

char c=a;
switch (c){
case a: System.out.print("1");
case b: System.out.print("2");
case c: System.out.print("3");
}
System.out.println(" Done");

T F

30. The following Java program could have all the spaces and new-line characters removed so
that it was all on one line, and it would still compile, run, and give the same output.
public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x = 5;
int y = x+2;
System.out.println("x+y:" + x + y);
}
}
