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

Answer: B

(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'.
