“While” Loops Practice ANSWER KEY

Track the following code segments to determine what they will print.

For problems 1-6, use the following variable declarations:

final int MIN = 10,

final MAX = 20;
int num = 15;
num: OUTPUT:

1. while (num < MAX) 15 15

{ 16 16
System.out.println (num); 17 17
num = num + 1; 18 18
} 19 19
20 stop

2. while (num < MAX) 15

{ 16 16
num = num + 1; 17 17
System.out.println (num); 18 18
} 19 19
20 20
Stop

3. while (num < MAX) 15 15

{ 14 14
System.out.println (num); 13 13
num = num - 1; runtime error - infinite loop
} num < MAX is always true

4. while (num > MIN) 15 15

{ 14 14
System.out.println (num); 13 13
num = num - 1; 12 12
} 11 11
10 stop

5. while (num < MAX) 15 15

{ 17 17
System.out.println (num); 19 19
num += 2; 21 stop
}
 num: output:

6. while (num < MAX) 15

{ 16 16
if (num%2 == 0) 17
System.out.println (num); 18 18
num++; 19
} 20

Problems 7-11 are independent of each other: num: dum: output:

7. int num = 0; 0 0
while (num < 3) 1 1
{ 2 2
System.out.println(num); 3 stop
num++;
}

8. int num = 10; 10 0 1098

int dum = 0; 9 1
while (num > 8 && dum < 3) 8 2
{ 7 3stop
System.out.print(num);
num--;
dum++;
}

9. int num = 1; 1 1-2-3-4-5

while (num <= 5) 2
{ 3
System.out.print(num + "-"); 4
num++; 5
} 6 stop

10. int num = 0;

while (num < 10) 0 11
{ 2
num += 2; 4
} 6
num++; 8
System.out.println(num); 10 stop
11
 num: dum: output:
11. num = 0; 0 8
dum = 8; 8 975975975
while (num < 3) 6
{ 4
dum = 8; 2 stop
while (dum > 2) 1 8
{ 6
System.out.print(dum + 1); 4
dum -= 2; 2 stop
} 2 8
num++; 6
} 4
2 stop
3 stop

12. Write a “while” loop that prints the integers from 1 through 10 on the same line.

int num = 1;
while (num < 11) // or (num <= 10)
{
System.out.print(num)
num++; }

13. Write a “while” loop that prints the integers 10 down to 1 on the same line.

int num = 10;

while (num > 0) // or (num >=1)
{
System.out.print(num)
num--; } // or num -= 1 or num = num - 1

14. Write a “while” loop that prints the even integers 2 through 24 on separate lines.

int num = 2;
while (num < 26)
{
System.out.println(num)
num += 2; } // or num = num + 2

15. Write a “while” loop that prints multiples of 3 between 9 and 27 on the same line.

int num = 9;
while (num < 30) // or (num <= 27)
{
System.out.print(num)
num += 3; } // or num = num + 3

16. Write a “while” loop that prints numbers that are multiples of either 3 or 7 between 3 and 51.

int num = 3;
while (num <= 51)
{
if (num % 3 == 0 || num % 7 == 0)
System.out.println(num)
num++; }
