Fix the mistakes in the following program so it runs as expected. There are 5 mistakes. All literals (such as 3.5) have the correct value and data type. // Java program by [Student name] [Today's date] public class Mistakes { public static void main(String[] args) { / This is a comment int z = 3.5; System.out.println("z is + z"); int s2 = "Michael"; System.out.println("s2 has the value " s2); } } Please show the mistakes clearly and how the change is made.
Fix the mistakes in the following
// Java program by [Student name] [Today's date]
public class Mistakes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/ This is a comment
int z = 3.5;
System.out.println("z is + z");
int s2 = "Michael";
System.out.println("s2 has the value " s2);
}
}
Please show the mistakes clearly and how the change is made.
Explanation of all the given errors:
Error 1: the first mistake is that the comments start with //, but in the program code only / is provided.
Error statement: / This is a comment
Rectified statement: / / This is a comment
So, replacing / with //.
Error 2: In the program code, the value 3.5 is assigned to an int number.
Error statement: int z = 3.5;
Rectified statement: double z = 3.5;
Thus, the error can be rectified by changing the data type from int to double
Error 3: here z need to be displayed to the user, but the z variable is kept inside the quotes because of this the whole statement is displayed to the user as a string.
Error statement: System.out.println("z is + z");
But, here the requirement is to display the value of z to the user. So, to resolve this error removing double quotes given after z and putting it before + .
Rectified statement: System.out.println("z is " + z);
Error 4: a string is declared with the data type int
Error statement: int s2 = "Michael";
To resolve the error change int to String data type
Rectified statement: String s2 = "Michael";
Error 5: In the last statement, the program should display the value of s2 to the user. But it is showing error, due to the missing of + operator
Error statement: System.out.println("s2 has the value " s2);
Rectified statement: System.out.println("s2 has the value " +s2);
So, adding + before the s2 variable will resolve this error.
