- Question
At Point X on line 5, which code is necessary to make the code compile?
public class ExceptionTest { class TestException extends Exception {} public void runTest() throws TestException {} public void test() /* Point X */ { runTest(); } }
Options- A. No code is necessary.
- B. throws Exception
- C. catch ( Exception e )
- D. throws RuntimeException
- Correct Answer
- throws Exception
Explanation
Option B is correct. This works because it DOES throw an exception if an error occurs.Option A is wrong. If you compile the code as given the compiler will complain:
"unreported exception must be caught or declared to be thrown" The class extends Exception so we are forced to test for exceptions.
Option C is wrong. The catch statement belongs in a method body not a method specification.
Option D is wrong. TestException is a subclass of Exception therefore the test method, in this example, must throw TestException or some other class further up the Exception tree. Throwing RuntimeException is just not on as this belongs in the java.lang.RuntimeException branch (it is not a superclass of TestException). The compiler complains with the same error as in A above.
- 1. Which answer most closely indicates the behavior of the program?
public class MyProgram { public static void throwit() { throw new RuntimeException(); } public static void main(String args[]) { try { System.out.println("Hello world "); throwit(); System.out.println("Done with try block "); } finally { System.out.println("Finally executing "); } } }
Options- A. The program will not compile.
- B. The program will print Hello world, then will print that a RuntimeException has occurred, then will print Done with try block, and then will print Finally executing.
- C. The program will print Hello world, then will print that a RuntimeException has occurred, and then will print Finally executing.
- D. The program will print Hello world, then will print Finally executing, then will print that a RuntimeException has occurred. Discuss
- 2. Which statement is true?
Options- A. catch(X x) can catch subclasses of X where X is a subclass of Exception.
- B. The Error class is a RuntimeException.

- 3. Which statement is true?
Options- A. A try statement must have at least one corresponding catch block.
- B. Multiple catch statements can catch the same class of exception more than once.

Options- A. The code will not compile.
- B. Code output: Start Hello world File Not Found.

Correct Answer: The program will print Hello world, then will print Finally executing, then will print that a RuntimeException has occurred.
Explanation:
Once the program throws a RuntimeException (in the throwit() method) that is not caught, the finally block will be executed and the program will be terminated. If a method does not handle an exception, the finally block is executed before the exception is propagated.
Correct Answer: catch(X x) can catch subclasses of X where X is a subclass of Exception.
Explanation:
Option B is wrong. The error class is a subclass of Throwable and not Runtime Exception.
Option C is wrong. You do not catch this class of error.
Option D is wrong. An exception can be thrown to the next method higher up the call stack.
Correct Answer: Except in case of VM shutdown, if a try block starts to execute, a corresponding finally block will always start to execute.
Explanation:
B is wrong. A try statement executes a block. If a value is thrown and the try statement has one or more catch clauses that can catch it, then control will be transferred to the first such catch clause. If that catch block completes normally, then the try statement completes normally.
C is wrong. Exceptions of type Error and RuntimeException do not have to be caught, only checked exceptions (java.lang.Exception) have to be caught. However, speaking of Exceptions, Exceptions do not have to be handled in the same method as the throw statement. They can be passed to another method.
If you put a finally block after a try and its associated catch blocks, then once execution enters the try block, the code in that finally block will definitely be executed except in the following circumstances:
Correct Answer: This program fails to compile due to an error at line 18.
Explanation:
Any method (in this case, the main() method) that throws a checked exception (in this case, out.close() ) must be called within a try clause, or the method must declare that it throws the exception. Either main() must declare that it throws an exception, or the call to out.close() in the finally block must fall inside a (in this case nested) try-catch block.
Correct Answer: The code will not compile.
Explanation:
Line 7 will cause a compiler error. The only legal statements after try blocks are either catch or finally statements.
Option B, C, and D are incorrect based on the program logic described above. If line 7 was removed, the code would compile and the correct answer would be Option B.
Correct Answer: 1, 4, 5 and 6
Explanation:
An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application should not try to catch.
The Throwable class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language.
The class Exception and its subclasses are a form of Throwable that indicates conditions that a reasonable application might want to catch (checked exceptions)
RuntimeException is the superclass of those exceptions that can be thrown during the normal operation of the Java Virtual Machine.
Correct Answer: Compile Error
Explanation:
Since a constructor has been defined in class A java will no longer supply a default constructor for class A therefore when class B calls class A's default constructor it will result in a compile error.
Correct Answer: javajavac
Explanation:
Method parameters are always passed by value - a copy is passed into the method - if the copy changes, the original remains intact, line 5 changes the reference i.e. text points to a new String object, however this is lost when the method completes. The textBuffer is a StringBuffer so it can be changed.
This change is carried out on line 9, so "java" becomes "javac", the text reference on line 9 remains unchanged. This gives us the output of "javajavac"
Correct Answer: AAACCC
