What will the println statement in the following
int x = 5;
System.out.println(x++);
- a. 5
- b. 6
- c. 0
- d. None of these

The println statement in the given program segment displays the value “5”.
Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.
Explanation of Solution
Increment operator “++”:
The increment operator is used to increment or increase the value of the variable by “1”.
Example:
/*the variable val is increased by 1 with a postfix representation */
val++;
/*the variable val is increased by 1 with a prefix representation */
++val;
In the given program segment, the variable “x” is declared and initialized with the value “5”. In the println statement, post-increment operation is performed using the statement “x++”. As per postfix mode, the value of the variable “x” is printed and then the value is incremented. Therefore, the value of “x”, which is “5” is printed using the println statement and then the value of “x” is incremented.
Explanation for incorrect options:
b. 6:
The value of “x” is incremented to 6 after it is displayed.
Hence, the option “B” is wrong.
c. 0:
The value of “x” is initialized as 5, and then it is not modified as “0”.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

The access link rate of the webserver is 1 Gigabits per second. The IP address for the associated URL is not cached in your local host, so a DNS lookup is necessary to obtain the IP address. Suppose that n DNS servers are visited before your host receives the IP address from DNS; the successive visits incur an RTT of RTT1, ..., RTTn. Let RTTo denote the RTT between the local host and the webserver containing the webpage. Now answer the following: 1) Ignore all types of delays at the client and the servers. How much time elapses from when the client clicks on the link of the webpage until the client receives the content of the webpage? 2) Now suppose, the HTML file references 10 additional objects (15 MB each) on the same server. Considering only the transmission delay at the webserver for each of these objects and ignoring all other delays at the host and the servers, recalculate the…arrow_forward
- In a client-server file distribution paradigm, let's assume the server has an upload rate of 25 Mbps. Each client's download rate is 3 Mbps. Now consider multiple scenarios where the number of clients is 50, 200, and 1000. For each of these scenarios, consider 2 possible upload rates of each client: 200 Kbps, and 1Mbps. For these 6 combinations of the number of clients and the client-upload rate, what are the minimum distribution times for a file of size 30 Gigabit? Now, if the same file needs to be distributed in a P2P paradigm, what will be the 6 minimum distribution times?arrow_forwardA password consists of 4 letters (A–Z) followed by 2 digits (0–9).(a) How many unique passwords are possible if letters and digits may repeat?(b) How many if letters cannot repeat?arrow_forwardA company manufactures three types of sensors: A (40%), B (35%), and C (25%).
