Get Access
Which of the following statements is false?

Which of the following is true?
a. Assigning a double value to an int does not lose any data.

c. Cannot be modified.
d. Both (a) and (b).
Which of the following statements is false?
a. A constructor that specifies a single parameter should be declared implicit.
b. A constructor does not specify a return type, because constructors cannot return
values.

can be costly.
