Solutions to Java Lab 1
1. Correct the following statements:
a) boolean isGood = 1;
b) char firstLetter = p;
c) int 2way = 89;
d) String name = Zahir;
e) int student score = 89;
f) Double $class = 4.5;
g) int _parents = 20.5;
h) string name = "Greg";
boolean isGood = true;
char firstLetter = 'p';
int twoWay = 89;
String name = "Zahir";
int player_score = 89;
double $class = 4.5;
double _parents = 20.5;
String name = "Greg";
3. Create a new Java file with a class called UsingOperators and copy the above main
method into it. (Can you figure out what the name of the Java file must be? Hint: see step
10 of Lab 0.) Compile and run. Does the output match what you thought?

4. Create a new Java class called TempConverter. Add a main method to
TempConverter that declares and initializes a variable to store the temperature in
Celsius. Your temperature variable should be store numbers with decimal places.
5. In the main method, compute the temperature in Fahrenheit according to the following
formula and print it to the screen: Fahrenheit = (9 ÷ 5) × Celsius + 32
public class TempConverter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double celcius = 100.0;
double fahrenheit = (9.0 / 5.0) * celcius + 32;
System.out.println(fahrenheit);
}
}
7. Set the Celsius variable to 100 and compile and run TempConverter. The correct
output is 237.6. If your output was 132, you probably used integer division somewhere by
mistake.
if both 9 and 5 are used instead of 9.0 and 5.0 in the formula, then the program will
print out the incorrect answer of 132
