Chapter 2, Problem 1MC
Every complete statement ends with a __________.
- a. period
- b. parenthesis
- c. semicolon
- d. ending brace
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Description Answer
The complete statement ends with “semicolon (“;”)”.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Semicolon (;):
Semicolon is a type of command in Java.
- The semicolon is used to indicate to the compiler that the command ends here.
- Semicolon is used as delimiter in Java to intentionally separate a command from the following Java command.
- If a semicolon is missed in any of the statements, then the program produces an error.
Example for the purpose of Semicolon (;):
//Declare and initialize the variables
double value1 = 28;
double value2 = 32;
double value3 = 37;
The above three variable declaration statements are all individual commands separated by the semicolon.
Explanation for incorrect options:
a. Period:
Period is used differentiate an integer value and decimal value, the value with the period is considered as decimal value.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
b. Parentheses:
Parentheses are the symbol used to group the statements in if statement, loop or any other control structures.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
d. Ending brace:
Braces are used to represent a block of code, ending brace represents that the block of code ends there.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Write a program that determines a student’s grade. The program will accept 3 scores and computes the average score. Determine the grade based on the following rules:
- If the average score is equal or greater than 90, the grade is A.
- If the average score is greater than or equal to 70 and less than 90, the grade is B.
- If the average score is greater than or equal to 50 and less than 70, the grade is C.
- If the average score is less than 50, the grade is F.
Source Codes and Print Screen of the Output
Anagram words
Write a C code that asks users to enter two words, one after the other and checks if these words are anagrams (permutations of the same letters).
For instance, the words “smartest” and “mattress” are anagrams.
Examplea
Run 1:
Please enter first word: lookplease enter the second word: coolSorry! “cool” and “look” are not anagrams.
Run 2:
Please enter first word: masters
please enter the second word: smartes
Yes! “masters” and “smartes” are anagrams.
Hint:
If you sort the two words that are anagrams, they will become identical! For instance, “smartest” and “masters” both sort to “aemrsstt”
You can use all functions in <string.h>
Sorting a string is exactly similar to sorting an array. You just need to know the length of the string and make sure you do not touch the terminating null.

A particular talent competition has five judges, each of whom awards a score between 0 and 10 to each performer. Fractional scores, such as 8.3, are allowed. A performer's final score is determined by dropping the highest and lowest score received, then averaging the three remaining scores. Write a program that uses this method to calculate a contestant's score. It should include the following functions:
void getJudgeData() should ask the user for a judge's score, store it in a reference parameter variable, and validate it. This function should be called by main once for each of the five judges.
void calcScore() should calculate and display the average of the three scores that remain after dropping the highest and lowest scores the performer received. This function should be called just once by main and should be passed the five scores.
The last two functions, described below, should be called by calcScore, which uses the returned information to determine which of the…

Group the hours into cases that should be handled similarly (e.g., 1:00 am to 11:00 am are handled the same). Declare variables for hoursAmPm, minAmPm, and hours24. Note that minutes for 24-hour time remain the same as for am/pm, so no extra variable is needed. Use an if-else statement to detect each case, and set the hours24 appropriately.
