Expression & Assignment Worksheet for Java

You may only use calculators for arithmetic. Do not enter entire expressions. There will be no calculators
permitted for the test/s.

1. Define a variable. 14. Given the following declarations, what is the

2. Define an identifier. result of each of the assignments?
3. A variable can store ____ value/s of its type. int w = 5, y = 9, z = 2;
4. Define a constant.
5. Define an expression. a. z = w * y;
6. Name the four integer data types. b. z += y;
How many bytes are allotted to each? c. y /= z;
7. Name the two floating point data types. d. y %= z;
How many bytes are allotted to each? e. y += y++;
8. What is an escape sequence? f. y += --y;
9. What is operator precedence? 15. Given the following declarations, what is the
10. Why are widening conversions safer than narrowing result of each of each output?
conversions? char a = 'a', b = 'B';
11. What does the new operator accomplish? char c = ' ', d;
12. Given the following declarations, what is the result string s = "This is fun.";
of each of the expressions? int e;
int w = 2, y = 7, z = 12;
System.out.println
a. w * z a. ("a = " + a);
b. w * z + y b. ("a = " + 'a');
c. w * -z c. (a + b);
d. w * --z + y++ d. (s);
e. w * z-- + ++y e. (s.length());
f. w + z * y
g. w – y + z 16. Convert the algebraic equations to Java
h. (w + y) * z equations.
i. y / w
j. y / z a. SA  4rr 2
k. w % y 4
b. V  rr 3
l. y % w 3
13. Given the following declarations, what is the result c. A  s s  a  s  b  s  c 
of each of the expressions? d. D  ( x2  x1 ) 2  ( y2  y1 ) 2
double w = 12.9, y = 3.2;
double z = 12.2;  b  b2  4ac
X
a. w / z
e. 2a
b. z / w
c. w / z – y Hint: Write two equations
d. w – z * y
e. (w – z) * y
f. z / y / w
g. z / (y / w)
h. y % z
