Question 2
Correct

Mark 2.00 out of 2.00




Which of the following statements is NOT legal?




a. char aChar = 'c';

b. char aChar = '0';

c. char aChar = 65;

d. char  Correct option: 4
aChar = • Option 1 is legal, as a character variable named aChar is
"cc"; declared and the value b is assigned
to it.
• Option 2 is legal, as a character variable named aChar is
declared and the value 0 is assigned
to it. In this case 0 is a character, not a numeric value.
• Option 3 is legal, as every character has got an integer
value associated with it called its
ASCII value. When 65 is assigned to aChar, 65 will be
implicitly converted to its corresponding
character. The assignment of an integer to a character
variable or vice versa is perfectly legal.
• Option 4 is illegal, as a character variable named aChar is
declared and then a string value cc
is assigned to it. No
ignment can be between two different types.




Your answer is correct.
The correct answer is:
char aChar = "cc";
