Question

When the declaration/// int y = 5; /// is followed by the

assignment /// y += 3.7; /// the value of y is _______.

Answer 1

y = 8.7

Explanation:

Assuming we can use decimal places, y is equal to 8.7.

In programming, += is often used as a substitute for y = y + x (example)

Therefore, y = y + 3.7, and since y = 5, y = 5 + 3.7, y = 8.7
