Concept explainers
Every complete statement ends with a __________.
- a. period
- b. parenthesis
- c. semicolon
- d. ending brace
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
The complete statement ends with “semicolon (“;”)”.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Semicolon (;):
Semicolon is a type of command in Java.
- The semicolon is used to indicate to the compiler that the command ends here.
- Semicolon is used as delimiter in Java to intentionally separate a command from the following Java command.
- If a semicolon is missed in any of the statements, then the program produces an error.
Example for the purpose of Semicolon (;):
//Declare and initialize the variables
double value1 = 28;
double value2 = 32;
double value3 = 37;
The above three variable declaration statements are all individual commands separated by the semicolon.
Explanation for incorrect options:
a. Period:
Period is used differentiate an integer value and decimal value, the value with the period is considered as decimal value.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
b. Parentheses:
Parentheses are the symbol used to group the statements in if statement, loop or any other control structures.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
d. Ending brace:
Braces are used to represent a block of code, ending brace represents that the block of code ends there.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

- 4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forwardEvery complete statement ends with a __________.arrow_forwardThe false statements are always executed using________arrow_forward
- c# Danielle, Edward, and Francis are three salespeople at Holiday Homes. Write an application named HomeSales that prompts the user for a salesperson initial (D, E, or F) input as a string. Either uppercase or lowercase initials are valid. While the user does not type Z, continue by prompting for the amount of a sale. Issue the error message "Sorry - invalid salesperson" for any invalid initials entered. Keep a running total of the amounts sold by each salesperson. After the user types Z or z for an initial, display each salesperson’s total, a grand total for all sales, and the name of the salesperson with the highest total unless there is a tie. If there is a tie, indicate this in the program's output with the message: "There was a tie". An example of the program is shown below: Enter a salesperson initial >> D Enter amount of sale >> 10 Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit >> d Enter amount of sale >> 2 Enter next salesperson intital or Z to quit…arrow_forwardFor an if statement to conditionally execute a group of statements, the statements must be enclosed in a set of __________.arrow_forwardThe ___________iteration statement specifies that a statement or group of statements is to be executed repeatedly while some condition remains true.arrow_forward

Hospital Charges Create an application that calculates the total cost of a hospital stay. The daily base charge is $350. The hospital also charges for medication, surgical fees, lab fees, and physical rehab. The application should accept the following input: • The number of days spent in the hospital • The amount of medication charges • The amount of surgical charges • The amount of lab fees • The amount of physical rehabilitation charges Create and use the following value-returning methods in the application: • CalcStayCharges—Calculates and returns the base charges for the hospital stay. This is computed as $350 times the number of days in the hospital. • CalcMiscCharges—Calculates and returns the total of the medication, surgical, lab, and physical rehabilitation charges. • CalcTotalCharges—Calculates and returns the total charges.arrow_forwardA group of statements, such as the body of a function, must be enclosed in__________.arrow_forward
