Questions in this Quiz:

Which of the following is the correct way to declare an integer variable with the value $10$ in Java?
- int x = 10;
- integer x = 10;
- var x = 10
- int x == 10;
Correct Answer: int x = 10;

Explanation: In Java, an integer variable is declared using the keyword 'int' followed by the variable name and the assignment operator '=' with the value $10$.
What is the result of the expression $5 + 2 * 3$ in Java?
- 21
- 11
- 10
- 15
Correct Answer: 11

Explanation: Java follows standard operator precedence (PEMDAS). Multiplication happens before addition, so $2 * 3 = 6$, and $5 + 6 = 11$.
Which loop is guaranteed to execute at least once in Java?
- for loop
- while loop
- do-while loop
- if statement
Correct Answer: do-while loop

Explanation: The do-while loop evaluates the condition at the end of the loop body, ensuring that the code inside executes at least once, even if the condition is false.
What is the default value of a boolean variable in Java if it is declared as a class member?
- true
- false
- null
- 0
Correct Answer: false

Explanation: In Java, class-level fields (instance variables) are initialized to default values. For boolean, the default is 'false'.
Which keyword is used to prevent a variable from being changed after initialization?
- static
- final
- const
- private
Correct Answer: final

Explanation: The 'final' keyword in Java makes a variable a constant, meaning its value cannot be changed once it has been assigned.
How many bits are in a standard Java 'int' primitive type?
- 8
- 16
- 32
- 64
Correct Answer: 32

Explanation: A Java 'int' is a signed $32$-bit integer, ranging from $-2^{31}$ to $2^{31} - 1$.
Which of these is a valid way to write a single-line comment in Java?
- /* comment */
- // comment
- # comment
- 
Correct Answer: // comment

Explanation: The double forward slash '//' is the standard syntax for writing single-line comments in Java.
If $x = 5$, what is the value of $x$ after executing $x++$?
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
Correct Answer: 6

Explanation: The post-increment operator 'x++' increases the value of $x$ by $1$ after the expression is evaluated. So $5 + 1 = 6$.
Which data type would you use to store a single character such as 'A'?
- String
- text
- char
- character
Correct Answer: char

Explanation: The 'char' data type is used to store a single $16$-bit Unicode character.
What is the correct syntax for a for-loop that iterates $i$ from $0$ up to $9$?
- for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
- for (i = 0; i < 9; i++)
- for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
- for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
Correct Answer: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

Explanation: Starting at $0$ and using the condition 'i < 10' allows the loop to run for values $0$ through $9$ inclusive.
