double quizscore1, quizscore3, quiz4=10, averagescore=4.0, avg, sumscores;

This statement specifies that

Answer• the program will use five variables.• the variable quiz4 should be initialized to the value of 10.0.• the variable average should be initialized to the value of 10.0.• nothing, because it should all be on one line.

Answer•   exponent (or accuracy) and length of the values represented. •   precision (or accuracy) and range of the values represented. •   exponent (short accuracy), range (long accuracy) and length

of the values represented. • precision (or accuracy) and range of the libraries included.

Q#14 Question

Question A float value will have a wider range of values for exponents than a double value.

Answer

• True

• False

Q#15 Question

Multiple Answer Question Select the true statements, concerning symbolic constants:

Answer•   The compiler will replace each occurrence of the constant

identifier with the constant value. • Constant declarations, like variable declarations, and with a

colon. (:)

•   Several symbolic constants can be declared in one statement if they have the same data type.

•   A symbolic constants is declared by prefixing a declaration with the const specifier.
