Question

Consider the following code segment. double x = 4.5; int y = (int) x * 2; System.out.print(y); What is printed as a result of executing the code segment? Responses 8 8 8.0 8.0 9 9 9.0 9.0 10

Answer 1

Upon execution of the code, the double value 4.5 is cast to an integer, truncating the decimal and resulting in the value 4, which is then multiplied by 2 to give the final printed output of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When executing the code segment provided, the following occurs:

• The double variable x is assigned the value 4.5.
• The cast operator (int) converts the value of x to an integer, which in this case truncates the decimal part, resulting in the value 4.
• This value is then multiplied by 2 to give 8.
• Finally, System.out.print(y) outputs the value of y, which is 8.

Therefore, the result printed is 8.
