Explanation of Solution

Char data type:

  • • A string data type is used to store a text, which is a collection of characters.
  • • Similarly, char data type is used to store single character which means a variable of the char data type can hold only one character.
  • • Declaration:

char lastLetter;

  • • The character literals are enclosed in single quotation marks.
  • • Therefore, a string value cannot be stored in a char data type.

Code snippet to store the last character in a string:

//declaring the string and char variables

string alphabet;

char last...

Write a statement that defines a string variable called city that can hold a string of up to 20 characters.
Write an assignment statement that adds together the values stored in the decDomestic and decInternational variables and then assigns the result to a String variable named strIncome.
Assume that grade is a variable whose value is a letter student_grade-- any one of the following letters: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'F". Assume further that there are the following int variables, declared and already initialized: acount, bcount, ccount, dcount, fcount. Write a switch statement that increments the appropriate variable (acount, bcount, ccount, etc.) depending on the value of grade. So if grade is 'A' then acount is incremented; if grade is'B' then bcount is incremented, and so on.
