Question

Errors can be syntax errors or logic errors. Compare the user's guess to the lottery number and determine if the front pairs match. Which of the following statements contains an error? I. else if(userBackPair.compareTo(lotteryBackPair) < 0) II. else if(userFrontPair.equals(lotteryFrontPair)) III. else if(userPick == lotteryNum) a) I only b) II only c) III only d) I and III only

Answer 1

The correct statement is option a) I only. Syntax errors occur when the code violates the rules of the programming language and prevent the program from running. Logic errors are mistakes in the program's algorithm that produce unintended or incorrect results.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is option a) I only.

Syntax errors occur when the code violates the rules of the programming language and prevent the program from running. Logic errors are mistakes in the program's algorithm that produce unintended or incorrect results.

In option II, the statement is correct, it checks if the userFrontPair equals the lotteryFrontPair. In option III, the statement is incorrect because it uses the equality operator (==) instead of the compareTo method to compare userPick and lotteryNum.
