Junior programmer: Create with code 1. ¿Trick quiz question?

Hello,

In the following question, you've to choose the posible values of randomFloat and randomInt:



Shouldn't the first line include the character "f"?

Code (CSharp):

1. float randomFloat = Random.Range(0f,100f);

(Junior programmer: Create with code 1 -> unit 2 -> Quiz)

 

It's fine. It's the same idea as

float n=0;

being legal. The system automatically converts the int 0 into the float 0.0f (which is called an implicit cast). It's there since adding a point-0f is safe, and having to type point-zero all the time is annoying.

 

result does get converted, but using int params would only give random ints (not floats),
and big difference on the overloads: using floats its maxInclusive , using int its maxExclusive:

so it would seem like its missing the f's

 

The Q works both ways. Maybe it's about how int-random can't take the highest value, and float can. But it could also be about how overload resolution doesn't check the return value, so (0,100) uses the same int-random each time. I've asked Q's like

float n = 10/4;

(which is 2.0f, since 10/4 is 2). Of course, I've asked them _after_ going over the process in detail.

But, yeah, it's probably missing at least 1 dot-f (and should have both). It's probably just after teaching about random, and the students haven't seen stuff like 2.3+4/5-1.1 yet. In that case the answer would be #1. In my version, none are correct, which could be fine since it could be "select any or all of these could happen".
