7.      for (int j = 0; j < 3; ++j)

8.                 sum += (a[j] * d[j + 1]) + (a[j + 1] * d[j]);

9.      System.out.println(sum);

10.         } 

11.     }

7. What is the output of this program?

1.     class array_output {

2.         public static void main(String args[]) 

3.         {

4.             int array_variable [] = new int[10];

5.      for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {

6.                 array_variable[i] = i/2;

7.                 array_variable[i]++;

8.                 System.out.print(array_variable[i] + " ");

9.                 i++;

10.             }

12.         } 

13.     }

a) 0 2 4 6 8
b) 1 2 3 4 5
c) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
d) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Answer:b

Explanation:When an array is declared using new operator then all of its elements are initialized to 0 automatically. for loop body is executed 5 times as whenever controls comes in the loop i value is incremented twice, first by i++ in body of loop then by ++i in increment condition of for loop.

8. What is the output of this program?

1.     class variable_scope {

2.         public static void main(String args[]) 

3.         {

4.             int x;

5.             x = 5;

6.             {

7.          int y = 6;

8.          System.out.print(x + " " + y);

9.             }

10.             System.out.println(x + " " + y);

11.         } 

12.     }

a) 5 6 5 6
b) 5 6 5
c) Runtime error
d) Compilation error
