3.
True / False
Java is a case sensitive programming language.
4.
True / False
Assuming that letter has been declared as a variable of type char, the below
statement is syntactically correct:
letter = “a”;
5.
True / False
For the logical AND operator, &&, which connects two boolean expressions, both
expressions must be false for the overall expression to be false.
6.
True / False
The below two pieces of code output the same thing to the console:

Write a Java program that will print to the console all even integers starting from 2 through (and
including) 50. Complete the program, which has been started for you. Hint: you can use a while or
for loop. Hint 2: One correct solution requires only 3 lines of VERY simple code.

E.
F.
24.
A single line comment begins with the characters \\
A multiple-line comment begins with */
The following is a syntactically correct comment: // */ */ //////////
Single-line comments are ignored by the compiler
Multiple-line comments are not ignored by the compiler
Multiple-line comments must end with the characters /*
Based on the for-loop shown below, which of the lettered choice is/are correct?
for (int i=-1; i<10; i+=2){
System.out.print(i);
}
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
The body of the for-loop will be executed 5 times
The i+=2 part of the for loop will be performed 6 times
The output produced by the for loop will be -113579
The i+=2 part of the for loop is performed as many times as the i<10 check is performed
The i<10 part of the for loop is the initialization portion, and is executed only once
The i+=2 part of the for loop is executed at least once.
