Key to Exercise on Lesson 10

Answers 10-3

1. What are the primary three permissible data types to use for x in the following?
switch (x){ . . . }
String, int and char (also short and byte)
2. int x = 3, p = 5, y =-8;
switch(x)
{
case 2:
p++;
case 3:
case 4:
y+=(--p);
break;
case 5:
y+=(p++);
}
System.out.println(y); //-4
3. Write a switch structure that uses the character myChar. It should increment the integer
variable, y, if myChar is either a capital or small letter G. It should decrement y if
myChar is either a capital or a small letter M. If myChar is anything else, add 100 to y.
switch (myChar)
{
case G:
case g:
y++;
break;
case M:
case m:
y--;
break;
default:
y = y + 100;
}
4. What is output by the following code?
String s = Green;
q = 0;
switch(s)
{
case Red:
q++;
case Green:
q++;
case Blue:
q++;
case Yellow:
q++;
default:
q++;
}
System.out.println(--q); //3

5. Write a line of code that declares the variable chr as a character type and assigns the
letter z to it.
char chr = z;
6. What is output by the following?
int x = 10, y = 12;
System.out.println( The sum is + x + y ); //The sum is 1012
System.out.println( The sum is + (x + y) ); //The sum is 22
7. Convert the following code into a switch statement.
if(speed = = 75)
{
System.out.println(Exceeding speed limit);
}
else if( (speed = = 69) || (speed = = 70) )
{
System.out.println(Getting close);
}
else if(speed = = 65)
{
System.out.println(Cruising);
}
else
{
System.out.println(Very slow);
}

switch(speed)
{
case 75:
System.out.println(Exceeding speed limit);
break;
case 69:
case 70:
System.out.println(Getting close);
break;
case 65:
System.out.println(Cruising);
break;
default:
System.out.println(Very slow);
}

8. Is default a mandatory part of a switch structure?


No
9. Write a line of code that converts String s = X into a character called chr.
char chr = s.charAt(0);
