Exam 5: Making Decisions

if (quotaAmt > 100 || sales > 100 && productCode == "C")     bonusAmt = 50; When the above code is executed, which operator is evaluated first?

An alternative to using a Boolean expression, such as quizScore == 10 , is to store the Boolean expression's value in a Boolean variable. How could you express this in Java?

What is wrong with the following statement? How could you correct it? if(payRate 60) System.out.println("Error in pay rate");

In the switch structure, break is followed by one of the possible values for the test expression and a colon.

Explain the use of the NOT operator.

You write pseudocode in everyday language, not the syntax used in a programming language.

if(firstValue == secondValue) {     int total = firstValue + secondVaue;     System.out.println("The values are equal"); } System.out.println("The total is " + total); Why will the above println() statement cause an error?

The compiler does not take indentation into account when compiling code, but consistent indentation can help readers understand a program's ____.

Create an if statement that will check if the variable salesAmt is greater than the constant SALES_QUOTA . If true, create a block statement that will calculate salesAmt * BONUS_PERCENT and store the result in a variable named bonusPay . The block statement will then compute totalPay by adding salesAmt to bonusPay . Outside of the if structure, add a println statement that will output the totalPay value. Be sure to use curly braces and semicolons appropriately.

Write a nested if statement that will check if the variable qtySold is greater than the QTY_QUOTA constant. If true, evaluate a second expression that will check if the variable totalSales is greater than the constant SALES_QUOTA . If the second expression is also true, create an assignment statement that will assign the constant BONUSAMT to the variable bonus . After BONUSAMT is assigned, the if structure ends.

Statements in which an if structure is contained inside another if structure are commonly called ____ if statements.

The ____ operator is written as the exclamation point ( ! ).

When using equals and not equals for comparisons with objects, you compare the objects' ____ instead of actual values.

List and explain the keywords used with the switch statement.

A(n) ____ is a series of if statements that determine whether a value falls within a specified range.

When you execute an if…else statement, only one of the resulting actions takes place depending on the evaluation of the ____ following the if .

Within an if or an else statement, how can you code as many dependent if statements as you need and why is this useful?

Why would a programmer execute more than one statement that depends on the evaluation of a Boolean expression, and how could he or she do it in Java?

Create an if statement that checks if the variable salesAmt is greater than or equal to the QUOTA_AMT constant. Use the logical OR operator to also check if salesAmt is greater than or equal to the HIGH_SALES constant. If either expression is true, assign the value of the LARGE_QUOTA constant to the variable bonusAmt .

A(n) ____ statement is the decision structure you use when you need to take one or the other of two possible courses of action.
