15. Consider the following Java-like code: int number = <>; int mask = MASK; int result = number OP mask; if (result != 0) { print("Bit 8 was set"); } The above code is supposed to print “Bit 8 was set” if bit 8 of user’s number was set to 1. If bit 8 was not set, then this code should not print anything (result==0). What hexadecimal value should MASK be, and what bit-wise operation should OP be, for the above code to work correctly?
Control structures
Control structures are block of statements that analyze the value of variables and determine the flow of execution based on those values. When a program is running, the CPU executes the code line by line. After sometime, the program reaches the point where it has to make a decision on whether it has to go to another part of the code or repeat execution of certain part of the code. These results affect the flow of the program's code and these are called control structures.
Switch Statement
The switch statement is a key feature that is used by the programmers a lot in the world of programming and coding, as well as in information technology in general. The switch statement is a selection control mechanism that allows the variable value to change the order of the individual statements in the software execution via search.
15. Consider the following Java-like code:
int number = <<read number from user>>;
int mask = MASK;
int result = number OP mask;
if (result != 0) {
print("Bit 8 was set");
}
The above code is supposed to print “Bit 8 was set” if bit 8 of user’s number was set to 1. If bit 8 was not set, then this code should not print anything (result==0). What hexadecimal value should MASK be, and what bit-wise operation should OP be, for the above code to work correctly?
