12. }
13. }

a) Infinity

b) 0.0

c) NaN

d) all of the mentioned

View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: For floating point literals, we have constant value to represent (10/0.0) infinity either positive or negative and
also have NaN (not a number for undefined like 0/0.0), but for the integral type, we don’t have any constant that’s why we
get an arithmetic exception.
9. What is the output of this program?

1. class increment {

3. {
4. int g = 3;
5. System.out.print(++g * 8);
6. }
7. }

a) 25

b) 24

c) 32

d) 33

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Operator ++ has more preference than *, thus g becomes 4 and when multiplied by 8 gives 32.
output:
$ javac increment.java
$ java increment
32
