Directions:

Good luck and do well!

For the following 5 (five) exercises consider the following method definitions: 

public static int f(int x) {
  return h(h(x)); 
}
public static int g(int x) { return k(k(x)); }
public static int h(int x) { return 1 + k(x); }
public static int k(int x) { return x - 1; }
1. What does g(2) evaluate to?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
  5.   other

Note: To save space I wrote other where I would have put "None of the above."

2. What does g(h(2)) evaluate to?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
  5.   other
3. What does k(g(2) + h(2)) evaluate to?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
  5.   other
4. What does f(0) + f(1) + f(2) evaluate to?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
  5.   other
5. What does f(2) evaluate to?

  4.    3
  5.   other
6. "0" is an example of what kind of constant?
  1.   int
  2.   char
  3.   boolean
  4.   String
  5.   other
7. Assume that x is integer variable. Simplify the following expression: 
!(((x - 1) >= 4) && ((x - 1) <= 4))
  1.   true
  2.   false
  3.   x != 5
  4.   x == 5
  5.   other

Warning: Don't overlook the logical negation (bang!) at the front.

8. Consider the following two program fragments. Assume that x is an int variable. 
       // fragment 1         |         // fragment 2
       if (x == 5)           |         if (x == 5)
          x = x + 1;         |            x = x + 1;
       else                  |         if (x != 5)
          x = 8;             |            x = 8;
Which of the following statements is false?

  1. The two fragments are not logically equivalent.
  2. x always has the value of 8 after executing fragment 2.
  3. x is always divisible by 2 (even) after executing fragment 1.
  4. x has either a value of 5 or a value of 8 after executing fragment 2.
  5. The first fragment could be simplified as: x = (x != 5) ? 8 : 6;

Reminder: Last option above uses the selection operator (page 187 in your text).

9. You compile and run this program. What is the output (or outcome)? 
class Wan {
    static int value; 
    Wan() { value += 1; }
    public static void main(String[] args) {

} else y = 4;

Short Note on Java Garbage Collectors: The character depicted on the front page is Dilbert's 'sanitation engineer'. He is a mysterious character that has inexplicable knowledge of all subjects from science to philosophy. In Dilbert comic strips he shows up occasionally to solve impossibly complex problems for Dilbert or Dogbert. I hope he will bring you luck on this final exam!
