Question

What output will be produced by the following code?

public class SelectionStatements { public static void main(String[] args)
{ int number = 25; if(number % 2 == 0)
System.out.print("The condition evaluated to true!");
else
System.out.print("The condition evaluated to false!"); } }

Answer 1

The condition evaluated to false!

Step-by-step explanation:

lets attach line numbers to the given code snippet

1. public class SelectionStatements {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int number = 25;
4. if(number % 2 == 0)
5. System.out.print("The condition evaluated to true!");
6. else
7. System.out.print("The condition evaluated to false!");
8. }
9. }

• In Line 3: An integer number is declared and assigned the value 25
• Line 4 uses the modulo operator (%) to check if the number (25) is evenly divided by 2. This however is not true, so line 5 is not executed
• The else statement on line 6- 7 gets executed
