The answers and hints to the questions and exercises are given in Appendix E, "Answers to Quiz Questions and Exercises."
Quiz

    Given x = 0, will the arithmetic operations inside the following if statement be performed?

    if (x != 0)
       y = 123 / x + 456;


    Given x = 4, y = 2, and operator = `-', what is the final value of x after the following switch statement is executed?

    switch (operator){
       case `+':  x += y;
       case `-':  x -= y;
       case `*':  x *= y;
       case `/':  x /= y;
       default:   break;
    }


    Similarly to in question 2, using x = 4, y = 2, and operator = `-', what is the final value of x after the following switch statement is executed?

    switch (operator){
       case `+':  x += y; break;
       case `-':  x -= y; break;
       case `*':  x *= y; break;
       case `/':  x /= y; break;
       default:   break;
    }


    What is the value of the integer variable x after the following code is executed?

    x = 1;
    for (i=2; i<10; i++){
       if (i%3 == 0)
          continue;
       x += i;
    }


Exercises

    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.1. This time, use the logical expression i%6 == 0 in the if statement.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.1 by using nested if statements.
    Write a program to read characters from the standard I/O. If the characters are A, B, and C, display their numeric values on the screen. (The switch statement is required.)
    Write a program that keeps reading characters from the standard input until the character q is entered.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.7. This time, instead of skipping 3 and 5, skip the integer that can be divided evenly by both 2 and 3.
