Question 41

What is integer division rounding in programming?

a) Rounding integers to the nearest decimal
b) Performing division with integer results, ignoring fractions
c) Dividing two floating-point numbers
d) Dividing and rounding up

Correct Answer: b) Performing division with integer results, ignoring fractions

Explanation: Integer division rounds down any fractional parts, producing only whole numbers as a result.

Question 42

What happens when you divide by zero in integer division?

a) It rounds the result to zero
b) It produces a NaN result
c) It causes a divide-by-zero error
d) It results in infinity

Correct Answer: c) It causes a divide-by-zero error

Explanation: In integer division, dividing by zero is mathematically undefined and results in a runtime error, terminating the program.

Question 43

What is type conversion?

a) Changing the data type of a program
b) Converting a data type to another, such as integer to float
c) Copying data from one program to another
d) Changing a constant value

Correct Answer: b) Converting a data type to another, such as integer to float

Explanation: Type conversion occurs when one data type is converted to another, such as converting an integer to a float.

Question 44

What is type casting?

a) Declaring a variable
b) Converting a value of one type to another type
c) Executing a function
d) Commenting on a program

Correct Answer: b) Converting a value of one type to another type

Explanation: Type casting is the process of explicitly converting a value of one data type to another, such as converting an integer to a float.

Question 45

What is the modulo operator (%) in programming?

a) Adds two numbers
b) Divides two numbers
c) Evaluates the remainder of division
d) Subtracts two numbers

Correct Answer: c) Evaluates the remainder of division

Explanation: The modulo operator (%) returns the remainder of a division between two integers.

Question 46

What is the result of any odd number % 2?

a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

Correct Answer: b) 1

Explanation: Any odd number divided by 2 will have a remainder of 1, so the result of odd number % 2 is always 1.

Question 47

What is an array data type?

a) A collection of strings
b) A collection of ordered elements of a given data type
c) A list of functions
d) A single variable storing multiple values

Correct Answer: b) A collection of ordered elements of a given data type

Explanation: An array is a collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations, and accessed using an index.

Question 48

What is a constant in programming?

a) A variable that can change
b) A named value that cannot change
c) A loop statement
d) A function parameter

Correct Answer: b) A named value that cannot change

Explanation: A constant is a value that cannot change during program execution, often used to store fixed values like Pi.

Question 49

What is an index in an array?

a) The total size of the array
b) A function name
c) The location number of an element
d) The number of elements in the array

Correct Answer: c) The location number of an element

Explanation: An index represents the position of an element in an array, starting from 0.

Question 50

What is a scalar variable?

a) A single-item (non-array) variable
b) An array of integers
c) A set of constants
d) A multi-dimensional array

Correct Answer: a) A single-item (non-array) variable

Explanation: A scalar variable is a single variable that holds one value, as opposed to an array or complex data structure.
