Question

Consider the following instance variables and method from a class: private String descriptor; public String makeSentence(int quant, boolean sign) { String s = "Object is "; if (!sign) { s += "not "; } for (int i = 0; i < quant; i++) { s += "very "; } return s + descriptor; } Suppose an object of this class is initialized so the value of descriptor is "regular". What would be returned by the call makeSentence(3, false) made on this object?

Answer 1

The call makeSentence(3, false) will return

"Object is not very very very regular"

The program fragment is:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

private String descriptor;

public String makeSentence(int quant, boolean sign) {

   String s = "Object is ";

   if (! sign) {

       s += "not ";

    }

   for (int i = 0; i < quant; i++) {

       s += "very ";

   }

   return s + descriptor;

}

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

descriptor is an instance field of the class. When makeSentence(3, false) is called, it does the following;

Initializes a local variable s with "Object is "

s now contains "Object is "

Since sign== false, the if block executes

s now contains "Object is not "

The for loop will execute 3 times to append "very " to s

s now contains "Object is not very very very "

Finally the return statement returns a concatenation of the contents of descriptor (descriptor=="regular") and s

s now contains "Object is not very very very regular"
