Numeric constant divided into floating-point constants?
Correct answer: D. Double
- A. Character
- B. String
- C. Integer
- D. Double
Explanation
The question itself is a bit nonsensical. A numeric constant cannot be divided into floating-point constants.Numeric constant: A numeric constant is a fixed value that represents a number, either integer (whole number) or floating-point (number with a decimal).Floating-point constant: A floating-point constant is a type of numeric constant that includes a decimal point.In essence, a floating-point constant is already a type of numeric constant. So, dividing a numeric constant by a floating-point constant wouldn't result in another kind of constant.
