ii) double salary = wage = 9999.99;

iii) int i = 3.14;

iv) short int big = 40000;

v) int a = b = c = d

Answer 1

i) const long large;

The definition is wrong because a constant variable must be initialized.

ii) double salary = wage = 9999.99;

The definition is wrong since wage was not declared.

iii) int i = 3.14;

The definition is wrong since an integer variable has been initialized with a floating point value.

iv) short int big = 40000;

The definition is correct.

v) int a = b = c = d

The definition is incorrect since the variables b,c,d were not declared.
