Question

What is wrong with the code below? (Choose all that apply) int guess = 42.07; Group of answer choices The type should be “Double” not “int”. The variable should be a String. The type of the variable should be a float or a double. You cannot store a double in an int variable. You cannot store an int in a double variable. Nothing the code is fine as-is.

Answer 1

The code int guess = 42.07; has several issues. Let's analyze each of the choices provided:

1. The type should be “Double” not “int”.

   • Correct. Since 42.07 is a decimal value (a floating-point number), it should be assigned to a variable of type double or float, not int.

2. The variable should be a String.

   • Incorrect. There is no requirement indicated that the variable needs to be a String. The variable should still represent a numeric value, so it's irrelevant whether it's a String or not.

3. The type of the variable should be a float or a double.

   • Correct. Given that 42.07 is a decimal value, the correct type for the variable should be either float or double.

4. You cannot store a double in an int variable.

   • Correct. Assigning a decimal value (a double) to an int will result in a compile-time error because int can only hold whole numbers.

5. You cannot store an int in a double variable.

   • Incorrect. A whole number (int) can be stored in a double variable without any issue since double can accommodate both integers and decimal numbers.

6. Nothing the code is fine as-is.

   • Incorrect. The code has multiple issues and is not correct as it stands.

Summary:

The correct choices to identify what's wrong with the code are:

• The type should be “Double” not “int”.
• The type of the variable should be a float or a double.
• You cannot store a double in an int variable.
