- Question
What will be the output of the program?
String x = "xyz"; x.toUpperCase(); /* Line 2 */ String y = x.replace('Y', 'y'); y = y + "abc"; System.out.println(y);
Options- A. abcXyZ
- B. abcxyz
- C. xyzabc
- D. XyZabc
- Correct Answer
- xyzabc
ExplanationLine 2 creates a new String object with the value "XYZ", but this new object is immediately lost because there is no reference to it. Line 3 creates a new String object referenced by y. This new String object has the value "xyz" because there was no "Y" in the String object referred to by x. Line 4 creates a new String object, appends "abc" to the value "xyz", and refers y to the result.

- 1. What will be the output of the program?
public class WrapTest { public static void main(String [] args) { int result = 0; short s = 42; Long x = new Long("42"); Long y = new Long(42); Short z = new Short("42"); Short x2 = new Short(s); Integer y2 = new Integer("42"); Integer z2 = new Integer(42); if (x == y) /* Line 13 */ result = 1; if (x.equals(y) ) /* Line 15 */ result = result + 10; if (x.equals(z) ) /* Line 17 */ result = result + 100; if (x.equals(x2) ) /* Line 19 */ result = result + 1000; if (x.equals(z2) ) /* Line 21 */ result = result + 10000; System.out.println("result = " + result); } }
Options- A. result = 1
- B. result = 10
- C. result = 11
- D. result = 11010 Discuss
Correct Answer: result = 10
Explanation:
Line 13 fails because == compares reference values, not object values. Line 15 succeeds because both String and primitive wrapper constructors resolve to the same value (except for the Character wrapper). Lines 17, 19, and 21 fail because the equals() method fails if the object classes being compared are different and not in the same tree hierarchy.- 2. What will be the output of the program?
class Tree { } class Pine extends Tree { } class Oak extends Tree { } public class Forest1 { public static void main (String [] args) { Tree tree = new Pine(); if( tree instanceof Pine ) System.out.println ("Pine"); else if( tree instanceof Tree ) System.out.println ("Tree"); else if( tree instanceof Oak ) System.out.println ( "Oak" ); else System.out.println ("Oops "); } }
Options- A. Pine
- B. Tree
- C. Forest
- D. Oops Discuss
Correct Answer: Pine
Explanation:
The program prints "Pine".- 3. What will be the output of the program?
public class Example { public static void main(String [] args) { double values[] = {-2.3, -1.0, 0.25, 4}; int cnt = 0; for (int x=0; x < values.length; x++) { if (Math.round(values[x] + .5) == Math.ceil(values[x])) { ++cnt; } } System.out.println("same results " + cnt + " time(s)"); } }
Options- A. same results 0 time(s)
- B. same results 2 time(s)
- C. same results 4 time(s)
- D. Compilation fails. Discuss
Correct Answer: same results 2 time(s)
Explanation:
Math.round() adds .5 to the argument then performs a floor(). Since the code adds an additional .5 before round() is called, it's as if we are adding 1 then doing a floor(). The values that start out as integer values will in effect be incremented by 1 on the round() side but not on the ceil() side, and the noninteger values will end up equal.- 4. What will be the output of the program?
public class ObjComp { public static void main(String [] args ) { int result = 0; ObjComp oc = new ObjComp(); Object o = oc; if (o == oc) result = 1; if (o != oc) result = result + 10; if (o.equals(oc) ) result = result + 100; if (oc.equals(o) ) result = result + 1000; System.out.println("result = " + result); } }
Options- A. 1
- B. 10
- C. 101
- D. 1101 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1101
Explanation:
Even though o and oc are reference variables of different types, they are both referring to the same object. This means that == will resolve to true and that the default equals() method will also resolve to true.- 5. What will be the output of the program?
String s = "hello"; Object o = s; if( o.equals(s) ) { System.out.println("A"); } else { System.out.println("B"); } if( s.equals(o) ) { System.out.println("C"); } else { System.out.println("D"); }- A
- B
- C
- D
Options- A. 1 and 3
- B. 2 and 4
- C. 3 and 4
- D. 1 and 2 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1 and 3
- 6. What will be the output of the program?
public class StringRef { public static void main(String [] args) { String s1 = "abc"; String s2 = "def"; String s3 = s2; /* Line 7 */ s2 = "ghi"; System.out.println(s1 + s2 + s3); } }
Options- A. abcdefghi
- B. abcdefdef
- C. abcghidef
- D. abcghighi Discuss
Correct Answer: abcghidef
Explanation:
After line 7 executes, both s2 and s3 refer to a String object that contains the value "def". When line 8 executes, a new String object is created with the value "ghi", to which s2 refers. The reference variable s3 still refers to the (immutable) String object with the value "def".- 7. What will be the output of the program?
int i = (int) Math.random();
Options- A. i = 0
- B. i = 1
- C. value of i is undetermined
- D. Statement causes a compile error Discuss
Correct Answer: i = 0
Explanation:
Math.random() returns a double value greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. Its value is stored to an int but as this is a narrowing conversion, a cast is needed to tell the compiler that you are aware that there may be a loss of precision.The value after the decimal point is lost when you cast a double to int and you are left with 0.
- 8. What will be the output of the program?
int i = 1, j = 10; do { if(i++ > --j) /* Line 4 */ { continue; } } while (i < 5); System.out.println("i = " + i + "and j = " + j); /* Line 9 */
Options- A. i = 6 and j = 5
- B. i = 5 and j = 5
- C. i = 6 and j = 6
- D. i = 5 and j = 6 Discuss
Correct Answer: i = 5 and j = 6
Explanation:
This question is not testing your knowledge of the continue statement. It is testing your knowledge of the order of evaluation of operands. Basically the prefix and postfix unary operators have a higher order of evaluation than the relational operators. So on line 4 the variable i is incremented and the variable j is decremented before the greater than comparison is made. As the loop executes the comparison on line 4 will be:if(i > j)
if(2 > 9)
if(3 > 8)
if(4 > 7)
if(5 > 6) at this point i is not less than 5, therefore the loop terminates and line 9 outputs the values of i and j as 5 and 6 respectively.
The continue statement never gets to execute because i never reaches a value that is greater than j.
- 9. What will be the output of the program?
String d = "bookkeeper"; d.substring(1,7); d = "w" + d; d.append("woo"); /* Line 4 */ System.out.println(d);
Options- A. wookkeewoo
- B. wbookkeeper
- C. wbookkeewoo
- D. Compilation fails. Discuss
Correct Answer: Compilation fails.
Explanation:
In line 4 the code calls a StringBuffer method, append() on a String object.- 10. What will be the output of the program?
System.out.println(Math.sqrt(-4D));
Options- A. -2
- B. NaN
- C. Compile Error
- D. Runtime Exception Discuss
Correct Answer: NaN
Explanation:
It is not possible in regular mathematics to get a value for the square-root of a negative number therefore a NaN will be returned because the code is valid.
