I think
X _= Y means X = X _ Y
So in your example: a = a*b
|
yeah...
x+=5
is
x=x+5
so i guess what chill said

If this is a Java question, why don't you open up eclipse or whatever you use, and try some of those expressions?

you ask about multiplication but not modulo? strange

modulus doesn't really matter in this question

I understand modulo :p
I actually looked this up and found out. Thanks for helping out guys.

yeah but I always found +=, -=,/=, *= intuitive.
modulo confused me quite a bit when I first saw it :O

The line c = a % 3 + c / b; is useless here. -.-

exactly
that's why b=2 and c=1

why? I don't get why it's useless.
a *= b;
a = a * b
a = 5 * 2
so,
a = 10
c = a % 3 + c / b
c = (10 % 3) + (6 / 2)
c = (1) + (3)
so,
c = 4
c = b--;
c = 2--
so,
c = 2
b = 1
Thus, a = 10, b = 1, c = 2
I'm not sure what "d" is. What's the default for that value?

because you are setting c to some long equation
and then the very next step you set c to one less than b
In other words, you saved a value to c, didnt use it, and saved over it
as for d, it depends on the language. Java protects you, so it should be 0.0
|
for:
public static void main(String args[]) {
char alpha;
alpha = “g”;
}
you have to use single quotes for chars (at least you do in C++ and I assume its the same here)
so it should be
public static void main(String args[]) {
char alpha;
alpha = 'g';
}
or you can combine the two steps to
public static void main(String args[]) {
char alpha = 'g';
}
which will initialize it with a value.
as a follow up to d, java protects you, but some languages don't. be careful relying on the value of a variable you didnt give a value to yet :O
|
For people saying the final variables are c=1 and b=2, look at it more carefully. b-- means evaluate b, then decrement b. At the start of that step b = 2, so c is set to 2, then b is decremented, giving c = 2 and b = 1. Most of you are doing c = b - 1; which is very different from c = b--;. For c to end up 1 using the -- operator, it would need to be c = --b; which would set both b and c to 1.

+ Show Spoiler +double a = 5, b = 2, c = 6, d;
a *= b; // equivalent to a = a * b, or a = 5 * 2, or a = 10
c = a % 3 + c / b; // equivalent to c = (10 mod 3) + (6 / 2), or c = (1) + (3), or c = 4
c = b– –; //equivalent to c = b; b = b - 1, or c = 2, b = 2 - 1, or c = 2; b = 1
End values:
a = 10
b = 1
c = 2
d is uninitialized.
Also, to set char alpha to lowercase g:
this will work:
char alpha = 'g';
this will also work:
char alpha; alpha = 'g';
this also will work:
char alpha; alpha = 71; // 71 is ASCII for 'g'
|
Um, what? You'll get a compile error if you try to access d, I think. d is uninitialized.
If d wasn't a primitive type, it would be equal to null. Since it is a primitive type, its value is uninitialized and you'd get a compile error.
|
oh damn im way too late huh? T_T
anyway bottleabuser is right.
compiler would kick your face for trying to make use of d when there's no gaurantee that it won't be null. However, assuming d was initialized as 0, you'd get a = 10 b = 1 c = 2 d = 0
and the char one .. so ez.
char alpha = 'g';
is this for school?
|
it's post decrement,
so c is 1 more than b.
and BottleAbuser is right. You can't compile your code unless you have d initialized.
|
I GOT IT!
It's a fucking trick question! The code won't compile, so a, b, c, and d won't have any value at all! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. OK, the teacher probably won't accept that answer, so go with what I put in my first post.

lol thanks guys.
I already submitted with d=0. I probably should have put "uninitialized" though, that seems like a better answer.
Thanks for your help though.
Yea, it's for my CIS3022 class
