Assignment
Write one multiple choice question about any topic we have covered. There must be at least two choices, but there can be more than that if you prefer. You can do true or false questions, true multiple choice (only one is correct), or multi-select (more than one may be correct). Indicate what the correct answer is, and briefly explain why it is correct. Finally, indicate which lecture topic or day your question is related to. If it’s related to more than one, just try to say at least one.
Examples
What does the final modifier do?
(a) Makes a variable visible only to the class it is defined in
(b) Makes it so a variable can never be changed once it is initialized
(c) Makes it so a methood can be called using the class name, rather than an instance of the class
(d) Ends the program
The correct answer is (b), since that's precisely what the final modifier does.
This question is related to the topic of modifiers from lecture 5.
----
Which of the following declares and initializes an array of ints? (There may be
more than one correct answer.)
(a) int[] nums = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
(b) int[] nums = new int[5];
(c) int[] nums;
(d) nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
(e) double[] nums = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
(a) and (b) are correct. (c) declares but doesn't initialize the array. (d)
won't compile (though it would run in Python!). (e) declares and initializes an array of doubles, not ints.
This question is related to Lecture 3.
