Arizona State University (ASU) CSE100 Principles of Programming with C++ Midterm 1 Practice Exam

The statement 'int result = 3.0 / 2.0;' evaluates the division of two floating-point numbers, which results in a value of 1.5. However, since 'result' is declared as an integer type, the floating-point result will be converted to an integer.

In C++, when assigning a floating-point number to an integer variable, the fractional part is truncated, meaning that only the whole number part is taken. Therefore, 1.5 becomes 1 when it is assigned to 'result'. As a result, the value stored in 'result' will be 1, not 1.5.

This is why the correct answer is that the statement does not assign 1.5 to the variable; instead, it assigns the truncated integer value 1.
