Answers to Sample Test 1

1. b
2. b, c, f
3. d. Note that the program gets one command line argument - 2. args.length will get set to 1. So the
condition if(args.length > 1) will fail, and the second check if(args.length > 0) will return true.
4. arr.length
5. Any of these is correct - 0x5, 0x05, 0X05, 0X5
6. b, c, f, g
7. a
8. d
9. "am"
10. a, c. Please note that b is not correct. A package statement may appear before an import statement. A
class constructor may be declared private also. Hence d is incorrect.
11. a
12. a
13. protected
14. a, c
15. b, c
16. c

Answers to Sample Test 2

1. c, d, f
2. c. The main method must be static and return void. Hence a and b are incorrect. It must take an array of
String as argument. Hence e and f are incorrect. As Java is case sensitive, d is incorrect.
3. a, d
4. List
5. e. The collection interface Map has two implementation HashMap and Hashtable.
6. a. Local variables are not initialized by default. They must be initialized before they are used.
7. d. The variable i gets initialized to zero. The while loop does not get executed.
8. c. During various iterations of three loops, the only time i, j and k have same values are when all of them
are set to 2.
9. 0x17 or 0X17.
10. e. The statement "i=2" evaluates to 2. The expression within the if block must evaluate to a boolean.
11. e. The range of short primitive type is -32768 to 32767.
12. c,d. Java does not allow casts between boolean values and any numeric types. Hence a is incorrect.
Assigning double to a float requires an explicit cast. Hence b and e are incorrect.
13. a
14. e
15. b. Both Strings test and test2 contain "abcd" . They are however located at different memory addresses.
Hence test == test2 returns false, and test.equals(test2) returns true.
16. d. The for loop does not get executed even once as the condition (i < 0) fails in the first iteration. In the
switch statement, the statement j = j +1; gets executed, setting j to 1. As there is no break after this case,
the next statement also gets executed setting j to 3.
17. 5050. The recursive function xyz essentially sums up numbers 1 to num. This evaluates to (num * (num
+ 1))/2.
18. a. Java supports assignment of one array to another. Hence b is incorrect. Array elements are indexed
from 0. Hence c is incorrect. A method that accesses array elements out of its range does not generate a
compilation error. Hence d is incorrect.
19. d. array.length gives the number of elements in the array. As indexes in Java start from 0, d is the correct
answer.
20. c. In the invocation of call_array, the first element is invoked using call-by-value, and the second using
call-by-reference.
21. d. import statement, package statement and class definitions are all optional in a file. Hence a and c are
incorrect. If both import and package statements are present in a file, then package statement must
appear before the import statement. Hence b is incorrect.
22. e. The args array consists of two elements "it" and "out". args.length is set to two.
23. a,c,d. The exception ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is generated as the main method tries to access
i[2]. Hence 1 gets printed. After this finally block gets excuted, before the program exits.
24. d,e,f
25. e. A data member that does not have public/protected/private is accessible to all methods in the same
package.
26. a. The Manager and Employee share as "is a" relationship - A Manager is an Employee. This is captured
by making Employee the base class of Manager.
27. b. The method int parseInt(Sting s) returns the integer value corresponding to input String, assuming that
the input string represents an integer in base 10.
28. b. The start() method invokes the run() method when the thread is ready to execute.
29. d
