Q1:

Which two are equal?

1. 32/4
2. (8 >> 2) << 4
3. 2^5
4. 128 >>> 2
5. 2 >> 5

ANS:B - 2 and 4

(2) and (4) are correct. (2) and (4) both evaluate to 32. (2) is shifting bits right then left using the signed bit shifters >> and <<. (4) is shifting bits using the unsigned operator >>>, but since the beginning number is positive the sign is maintained. (1) evaluates to 8, (3) looks like 2 to the 5^th power, but ^ is the Exclusive OR operator so (3) evaluates to 7. (5) evaluates to 0 (2 >> 5 is not 2 to the 5^th).
