[SOLVED] CPT121-Task 1.1.3 Variables, Types and Casting

Description

1. Give appropriate declarations (type and name) for variables used to store the following values:
   1. An employee’s taxable salary e) The average rainfall for the past month
   2. The month number within a year f) A letter to hold an answer (‘y’ or ‘n’)
   3. An employee identification number g) The constant string “Hello”
   4. The capacity of a tank in cubic inches h) The conversion rate from $AUS to $US

2. Assuming that the types of the variables x, y, and z  are int, float  and double  respectively, which of the following statement(s) are likely to result in error ?

1.                   a) x = y;              b) x = z;               c) y = x;
2.                   d) y = z;              e) z = x;                f) z = y;

3. The following code segment prints an incorrect result (instead of the expected result of sqr = 10000000000 ).

int num1 = 100000; int sqr = num1 * num1;

System.out.println(“sqr = ” + sqr);

Describe the problem / error that has occurred and suggest a solution or work-around to the problem which will allow the correct result to be stored and printed.
