 5. 

Consider the following two code segments:

Segment 1Segment 2
int x = 0;
while(x<10)
{
x++;
System.out.println(x);
}
for(int y=0; y<10; y++)
{
System.out.println(y);
}

Which of the following statements is true?
a.
Both segments produce the same output
b.
Both segments do NOT  produce the same output
c.
The segments would produce the same output if the statements inside the while loop were reversed
d.
Both b and c are correct
 

 6. 

Which of the following code snippets would display the square roots of 25, 20, 15, and 10?
a.
int number = 25;
while (number > 10){
     System.out.println ("The square root of " +
          number + " is " + Math.sqrt (number));
     number -= 5;
}
b.
int number = 25;
while (number <= 10){
     System.out.println ("The square root of " +
          number + " is " + Math.sqrt (number));
     number--;
}
c.
int number = 25;
while (number >= 10){
     System.out.println ("The square root of " +
          number + " is " + Math.sqrt (number));
     number -= 5;
}
d.
int number = 25;
while (number >= 10){
     System.out.println ("The square root of " +
          number + " is " + Math.sqrt (number));
     number--;
}
 

 7. 

Consider the following code segment:

int x = 2, y = 0;
while(x>y)
{
x--;
y++;
}
System.out.println(x - y);

a.
-2
b.
-1
c.
0
d.
1
 

 8. 

Consider the following code segment, which will be used to determine the number of years required for a $10,000 investment to grow to $25,000 at a simple interest rate of 3%..

int years = 0;
double balance = 10000, interest;
while(balance<25000)
{
years++;
interest = balance * .03;
<BLANK>
}
System.out.println(“Years = “ + years);

What is the following statements should be placed where <BLANK> is so that the code works as intended?
a.
balance = interest;
b.
balance++;
c.
balance += interest;
d.
balance *= interest;
 

 9. 

Consider the following code segment.

for(int k=0; k<10; k++)
{
for(int j=0; j<5; j++)
System.out.print(“*”);
}
