Skill Test Set 2: Variables, Constants and Data Types

1. Choose the correct statements:

 let and var keywords are used for immutable and mutable data

storage respectively.

 The value of a constant doesn’t need to be known at compile time,

but you must assign it a value exactly once.

 Values stored in one type can be changed automatically (implicitly)

to other type.

 String(width) and \(width) are same and it means width is

converted into String type.
2. let name = "CodingBull"
name = "www.codingbull.com"
  It's compile time error

 It's runtime error

 It's not an error

 Syntax is wrong as semicolons are missing in both the lines.

3. var name : String? = "CodingBull"
name = name + 10

 It's compile time error

 It's runtime error

 It's not an error

 Syntax is wrong as semicolons are missing in both the lines.

represents 32-bit floating-point number.
b. Double has a precision of at least 15 decimal digits while Float has
upto 6 decimal digits.

 Both statements are right.

 Only a is right.

 Only b is right.

 Both are wrong.

5. Which syntax is correct among the below given options, to create a
dictionary with a key of type Integer and value of String?

 var dict: [Int: String] = ["one": 1 , "two": 2]

 var dict = [Int, String] = [1, "one", 2, "two"]

 var dict = [Int: String] = [1: "one", 2: "two"]

 var dict = {Int: String} = {1: "one", 2: "two"}

6. Which of the following statement correctly declares a mutable array?

Structure

Enumeration

Variables

8. Which of these is not a valid property declaration?   final let x = 0

 final lazy let x = 0

  final lazy var x = 0

 final var x = 0

9. Choose the correct statements:

 Short cut literal for creating empty Array and Dictionary both, is
same and it is [ ].

 Optional data-type either has some value or is nil to indicate value

is missing.

 ?? [Double question mark] operator is used to provide default

value to an optional value.

 Forced unwrapping of the optional's value is done by adding an

exclamation mark (!) with optional's name and it means that optional
data-type has some value stored.

10. What is the size of Int?

It is 32 bits.

It is 64 bits.

It is platform dependent and could be 32bits or 64bits.

Int is not a valid keyword but it should be either Int8, Int16, Int32
or Int64.

4. A function that has a defined return type must always return a value
because :

 the statement where function is called will expect a value to be

returned, so in case if value is not returned, it could lead to crash.

 it won't allow control to fall out of the bottom of the function
without returning a value, and attempting to do so will result in a
compile-time error.
