Q1:

Which three are valid declarations of a char?
  1. char c1 = 064770;
  2. char c2 = 'face';
  3. char c3 = 0xbeef;
  4. char c4 = \u0022;
  5. char c5 = '\iface';
  6. char c6 = '\uface';

A 1, 2, 4

B 1, 3, 6

C 3, 5

D 5 only

ANS:B - 1, 3, 6

(1), (3), and (6) are correct. char c1 = 064770; is an octal representation of the integer value 27128, which is legal because it fits into an unsigned 16-bit integer. char c3 = 0xbeef; is a hexadecimal representation of the integer value 48879, which fits into an unsigned 16-bit integer. char c6 = '\uface'; is a Unicode representation of a character. char c2 = 'face'; is wrong because you can't put more than one character in a char literal. The only other acceptable char literal that can go between single quotes is a Unicode value, and Unicode literals must always start with a '\u'. char c4 = \u0022; is wrong because the single quotes are missing. char c5 = '\iface'; is wrong because it appears to be a Unicode representation (notice the backslash), but starts with '\i' rather than '\u'.
