Programming Warm-Up Exercises

1.Declare eligibleto be a booleanvariable, and assign it the value true.

2.Write a statement that sets the booleanvariable availableto trueif numberOrdered

is less than or equal to numberOnHandminus numberReserved.

3.Write a statement containing a logical expression that assigns trueto the

booleanvariable isCandidateif satScoreis greater than or equal to 1100,gpais not

less than 2.5, and ageis greater than 15. Otherwise,isCandidateshould be false.

4.Given the declarations

booleanleftPage;

int pageNumber:

write a statement that sets leftPageto trueif pageNumberis even. (Hint:Consider

what the remainders are when you divide different integers by 2.)

5.Write an ifstatement (or a series of ifstatements) that assigns to the variable

biggestthe greatest value contained in variables i,j, and k. Assume the three

values are distinct.

6.Rewrite the following sequence of if-(then)as a single if-else.

if(year % 4 == 0 )

System.out.print(year + " is a leap year.");

if(year % 4 != 0 )

{

year = year + 4 – year % 4 ;

System.out.print(year + " is the next leap year.");

}

7.Simplify the following code segment, taking out unnecessary comparisons.

Assume that ageis an intvariable.
