- Question
Which of the following statements is true?
Options- A. If assertions are compiled into a source file, and if no flags are included at runtime, assertions will execute by default.
- B. As of Java version 1.4, assertion statements are compiled by default.
- C. With the proper use of runtime arguments, it is possible to instruct the VM to disable assertions for a certain class, and to enable assertions for a certain package, at the same time.
- D. When evaluating command-line arguments, the VM gives -ea flags precedence over -da flags.
- Correct Answer
- With the proper use of runtime arguments, it is possible to instruct the VM to disable assertions for a certain class, and to enable assertions for a certain package, at the same time.
ExplanationOption C is true because multiple VM flags can be used on a single invocation of a Java program.Option A is incorrect because at runtime assertions are ignored by default.
Option B is incorrect because as of Java 1.4 you must add the argument -source 1.4 to the command line if you want the compiler to compile assertion statements.
Option D is incorrect because the VM evaluates all assertion flags left to right.

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
- 2. Which class or interface defines the wait(), notify(),and notifyAll() methods?
Options- A. Object
- B. Thread
- C. Runnable
- D. Class Discuss
Correct Answer: Object
Explanation:
The Object class defines these thread-specific methods.Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not define these methods. And yes, the Java API does define a class called Class, though you do not need to know it for the exam.
- 3. What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { public static void main(String [] args) { signed int x = 10; for (int y=0; y<5; y++, x--) System.out.print(x + ", "); } }
Options- A. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
- B. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,
- C. Compilation fails.
- D. An exception is thrown at runtime. Discuss
Correct Answer: Compilation fails.
Explanation:
The word "signed" is not a valid modifier keyword in the Java language. All number primitives in Java are signed. Hence the Compilation will fails.- 4. Which two of the following statements, inserted independently, could legally be inserted into missing section of this code?
- boolean test = (Component instanceof t);
- boolean test = (t instanceof Ticker);
- boolean test = t.instanceof(Ticker);
- boolean test = (t instanceof Component);
import java.awt.*; class Ticker extends Component { public static void main (String [] args) { Ticker t = new Ticker(); /* Missing Statements? */ } }
Options- A. 1 and 4
- B. 2 and 3
- C. 1 and 3
- D. 2 and 4 Discuss
Correct Answer: 2 and 4
Explanation:
(2) is correct because class type Ticker is part of the class hierarchy of t; therefore it is a legal use of the instanceof operator. (4) is also correct because Component is part of the hierarchy of t, because Ticker extends Component.(1) is incorrect because the syntax is wrong. A variable (or null) always appears before the instanceof operator, and a type appears after it. (3) is incorrect because the statement is used as a method (t.instanceof(Ticker);), which is illegal.
- 5. What will be the output of the program?
class Test { public static void main(String [] args) { int x=20; String sup = (x < 15)? "small" : (x < 22)? "tiny" : "huge"; System.out.println(sup); } }
Options- A. small
- B. tiny
- C. huge
- D. Compilation fails Discuss
Correct Answer: tiny
Explanation:
This is an example of a nested ternary operator. The second evaluation (x < 22) is true, so the "tiny" value is assigned to sup.- 6. Which statement, inserted at line 10, creates an instance of Bar?
class Foo { class Bar{ } } class Test { public static void main (String [] args) { Foo f = new Foo(); /* Line 10: Missing statement? */ } }
Options- A. Foo.Bar b = new Foo.Bar();
- B. Foo.Bar b = f.new Bar();
- C. Bar b = new f.Bar();
- D. Bar b = f.new Bar(); Discuss
Correct Answer: Foo.Bar b = f.new Bar();
Explanation:
Option B is correct because the syntax is correct-using both names (the enclosing class and the inner class) in the reference declaration, then using a reference to the enclosing class to invoke new on the inner class.Option A, C and D all use incorrect syntax. A is incorrect because it doesn't use a reference to the enclosing class, and also because it includes both names in the new.
C is incorrect because it doesn't use the enclosing class name in the reference variable declaration, and because the new syntax is wrong.
D is incorrect because it doesn't use the enclosing class name in the reference variable declaration.
- 7. What line of code should replace the missing statement to make this program compile?
/* Missing Statement? */ public class foo { public static void main(String[]args)throws Exception { java.io.PrintWriter out = new java.io.PrintWriter(); new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(System.out,true); out.println("Hello"); } }
Options- A. No statement required.
- B. import java.io.*;
- C. include java.io.*;
- D. import java.io.PrintWriter; Discuss
Correct Answer: No statement required.
Explanation:
The usual method for using/importing the java packages/classes is by using an import statement at the top of your code. However it is possible to explicitly import the specific class that you want to use as you use it which is shown in the code above. The disadvantage of this however is that every time you create a new object you will have to use the class path in the case "java.io" then the class name in the long run leading to a lot more typing.- 8. When is the B object, created in line 3, eligible for garbage collection?
void start() { A a = new A(); B b = new B(); a.s(b); b = null; /* Line 5 */ a = null; /* Line 6 */ System.out.println("start completed"); /* Line 7 */ }
Options- A. after line 5
- B. after line 6
- C. after line 7
- D. There is no way to be absolutely certain. Discuss
Correct Answer: There is no way to be absolutely certain.
- 9. Which is a reserved word in the Java programming language?
Options- A. method
- B. native
- C. subclasses
- D. reference
- E. array Discuss
Correct Answer: native
Explanation:
The word "native" is a valid keyword, used to modify a method declaration.Option A, D and E are not keywords. Option C is wrong because the keyword for subclassing in Java is extends, not 'subclasses'.
- 10. Which statement is true for the class java.util.ArrayList?
Options- A. The elements in the collection are ordered.
- B. The collection is guaranteed to be immutable.
- C. The elements in the collection are guaranteed to be unique.
- D. The elements in the collection are accessed using a unique key. Discuss
Correct Answer: The elements in the collection are ordered.
Explanation:
Yes, always the elements in the collection are ordered.
