Question

Coercion (implicit and explicit) are important to understand in programming languages. Install a C/C++ compiler of your choice for #1 below and a Java compiler of your choice for #2 below.

1. For your C/C++ compiler, verify whether or not the cast of the integer257 to a char results in an error by stating Yes or No. Use explicit type conversion. Paste a screenshot of your compiler output into the Word doc.
2. For your Java compiler/interpreter, verify whether or not the cast of the integer 655537 to a char results in an error by stating Yes or No. Use explicit type conversion. Paste a screenshot of your compiler output into the Word doc.

Answer 1

Answer:

1: No type conversion of 257 will not result in an error as in c++ type conversion of int to char done on the basis of ASCII codes and ASCII codes are only available from 0 to 127 for integer 257 there is no ASCII code defined so compiler wont able to convert it therefore returned Blank(nothing).

Output:

#include <iostream> 11 using namespace std; 12 13 int main() 14- { int i =257; cout<<"Value before type conversion : "<<i<<endl; char c = (char)i; cout<<"Value after type conversion : "<<c; return 0; } 21 22 input Value before type conversion : 257 Value after type conversion : ... Program finished with exit code o

2: No type conversion of 655537 will not result in an error as java uses UTF-16 Table, which uses 16-bits to define the characters and therefore it will convert to its equivalent ASCII character which is "±" .

output:
