What is the output of the statement Math.pow(36, 6/5) ?
Show Hint
- 36.0
- 1.0
- 73.71
- 6.0
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The function Math.pow(a,b) returns the value of \(a^b\), that is, the first argument raised to the power of the second argument.
Here, the statement is: \[ Math.pow(36, 6/5) \] Step 2: Evaluate the expression \(6/5\).
In Java, when both numbers are integers, integer division is performed. Since \(6\) and \(5\) are both integers: \[ 6/5 = 1 \] The fractional part is discarded. So the statement becomes: \[ Math.pow(36, 1) \] Step 3: Calculate the power.
Now, \[ 36^1 = 36 \] Since Math.pow() returns a double value, the output will be: \[ 36.0 \] Step 4: Note about the given options.
By Java rules, the mathematically correct output of Math.pow(36, 6/5) is 36.0.
So:
- (A) 36.0 is the correct output.
- (D) 6.0 would be incorrect for this exact Java statement.
Top Questions on Operators
- Evaluate the Java expression:
\[ x = a * b % (++c) + (++a) + (--b); \] if \(a = 7\), \(b = 8\), \(c = 2\). - Write the Java expression to find the sum of cube root of \(x\) and the absolute value of \(y\).
- Assertion (A): The result of the Java expression \(3 + 7/2\) is \(6\).
Reason (R): According to the hierarchy of operators in Java, addition is done first followed by division. - The output of the statement: \texttt{System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase('b') + 2); is:}
- Union, intersection and minus can be applied between two tables if :
