Objects and Collections problems
- 1. Which collection class allows you to access its elements by associating a key with an element's value, and provides synchronization?
Options- A. java.util.SortedMap
- B. java.util.TreeMap
- C. java.util.TreeSet
- D. java.util.Hashtable Discuss
Correct Answer: java.util.Hashtable
Explanation:
Hashtable is the only class listed that provides synchronized methods. If you need synchronization great; otherwise, use HashMap, it's faster.
- 2. Which is valid declaration of a float?
Options- A. float f = 1F;
- B. float f = 1.0;
- C. float f = "1";
- D. float f = 1.0d; Discuss
Correct Answer: float f = 1F;
Explanation:
Option A is valid declaration of float.
Option B is incorrect because any literal number with a decimal point u declare the computer will implicitly cast to double unless you include "F or f"
Option C is incorrect because it is a String.
Option D is incorrect because "d" tells the computer it is a double so therefore you are trying to put a double value into a float variable i.e there might be a loss of precision.
- 3. What will be the output of the program?
TreeSet map = new TreeSet(); map.add("one"); map.add("two"); map.add("three"); map.add("four"); map.add("one"); Iterator it = map.iterator(); while (it.hasNext() ) { System.out.print( it.next() + " " ); }
Options- A. one two three four
- B. four three two one
- C. four one three two
- D. one two three four one Discuss
Correct Answer: four one three two
Explanation:
TreeSet assures no duplicate entries; also, when it is accessed it will return elements in natural order, which typically means alphabetical.
- 4. What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { private static int[] x; public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(x[0]); } }
Options- A. 0
- B. null
- C. Compile Error
- D. NullPointerException at runtime Discuss
Correct Answer: NullPointerException at runtime
Explanation:
In the above code the array reference variable x has been declared but it has not been instantiated i.e. the new statement is missing, for example:
private static int[]x = new int[5];
private static int[x] declares a static i.e. class level array.
the "new" keyword is the word that actually creates said array.
int[5] in association with the new sets the size of the array. so since the above code contains no new or size decalarations when you try and access x[0] you are trying to access a member of an array that has been declared but not intialized hence you get a NullPointerException at runtime.
- 5. What will be the output of the program?
import java.util.*; class H { public static void main (String[] args) { Object x = new Vector().elements(); System.out.print((x instanceof Enumeration)+","); System.out.print((x instanceof Iterator)+","); System.out.print(x instanceof ListIterator); } }
Options- A. Prints: false,false,false
- B. Prints: false,false,true
- C. Prints: false,true,false
- D. Prints: true,false,false Discuss
Correct Answer: Prints: true,false,false
Explanation:
The Vector.elements method returns an Enumeration over the elements of the vector. Vector implements the List interface and extends AbstractList so it is also possible to get an Iterator over a Vector by invoking the iterator or listIterator method.
- 6. What will be the output of the program?
package foo; import java.util.Vector; /* Line 2 */ private class MyVector extends Vector { int i = 1; /* Line 5 */ public MyVector() { i = 2; } } public class MyNewVector extends MyVector { public MyNewVector () { i = 4; /* Line 15 */ } public static void main (String args []) { MyVector v = new MyNewVector(); /* Line 19 */ } }
Options- A. Compilation will succeed.
- B. Compilation will fail at line 3.
- C. Compilation will fail at line 5.
- D. Compilation will fail at line 15. Discuss
Correct Answer: Compilation will fail at line 3.
Explanation:
Option B is correct. The compiler complains with the error "modifier private not allowed here". The class is created private and is being used by another class on line 19.
- 7. What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { private static float[] f = new float[2]; public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println("f[0] = " + f[0]); } }
Options- A. f[0] = 0
- B. f[0] = 0.0
- C. Compile Error
- D. Runtime Exception Discuss
Correct Answer: f[0] = 0.0
Explanation:
The choices are between Option A and B, what this question is really testing is your knowledge of default values of an initialized array. This is an array type float i.e. it is a type that uses decimal point numbers therefore its initial value will be 0.0 and not 0
- 8. What will be the output of the program?
import java.util.*; class I { public static void main (String[] args) { Object i = new ArrayList().iterator(); System.out.print((i instanceof List)+","); System.out.print((i instanceof Iterator)+","); System.out.print(i instanceof ListIterator); } }
Options- A. Prints: false, false, false
- B. Prints: false, false, true
- C. Prints: false, true, false
- D. Prints: false, true, true Discuss
Correct Answer: Prints: false, true, false
Explanation:
The iterator() method returns an iterator over the elements in the list in proper sequence, it doesn't return a List or a ListIterator object.
A ListIterator can be obtained by invoking the listIterator method.
- 9. What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { public static void main (String args[]) { String str = NULL; System.out.println(str); } }
Options- A. NULL
- B. Compile Error
- C. Code runs but no output
- D. Runtime Exception Discuss
Correct Answer: Compile Error
Explanation:
Option B is correct because to set the value of a String variable to null you must use "null" and not "NULL".
- 10. What will be the output of the program?
public class Test { public static void main (String[] args) { String foo = args[1]; String bar = args[2]; String baz = args[3]; System.out.println("baz = " + baz); /* Line 8 */ } }And the command line invocation:> java Test red green blue
Options- A. baz =
- B. baz = null
- C. baz = blue
- D. Runtime Exception Discuss
Correct Answer: Runtime Exception
Explanation:
When running the program you entered 3 arguments "red", "green" and "blue". When dealing with arrays in java you must remember ALL ARRAYS IN JAVA ARE ZERO BASED therefore args[0] becomes "red", args[1] becomes "green" and args[2] becomes "blue".
When the program entcounters line 8 above at runtime it looks for args[3] which has never been created therefore you get an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at runtime.
