Questions Question - 1
Constructor declarations can be include the access modifiers?

1.public
2.protected
3.private
4.All of the above

Explanation :
D is the correct answer.

constructor declarations may include the access modifiers public, protected, or private

Question - 2
If you run the code below, what gets printed out?

public class Test {

public static void main(String argv[]){

String s=new String("Bicycle");
int iBegin=1;
char iEnd=3;
System.out.println(s.substring(iBegin,iEnd));
}
}

1.Bic
2.icy
3.ic
4.error: no method matching substring(int,char)

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

char iEnd=3; will convert to ASCII value 3. if you declare char iEnd='a'; then it
converts to 97 ( ASCII value of 'a' is 97)
Question - 3
True of False.
Using the instanceof operator on an interface will cause a runtime
exception.

1.True
2.False
3.None of the above
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

The instanceof operator can be used as follows: - on classes to see if a particular class
is derived from another (ie, is an instance of) - on interfaces to see if a class
implements a particular interface

Question - 4
Which of the following pieces of code compiles without any errors?

1.StringBuffer sb1 = "abcd";

2.Boolean b = new Boolean("abcd");
3.byte b = 255;
4.float fl = 1.2;

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

Answer 1 is not a valid way to construct a StringBuffer. Answer 2 is a valid

construction of a Boolean (any string other than "true" or "false" will result in a
Boolean with a value of false ) Answer 3 will fail to compile because the valid range
for a byte is -128 to +127 (ie, 8 bits, signed).

 ...
}

1.public void Test() {...}

2.public Test() {...}
3.public static Test() {...}
4.public static void Test() {...}

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

Constructor should not have any return type and should not be static.

Question - 19
Assuming a method contains code which may raise an Exception (but not
a RuntimeException),
what is the correct way for a method to indicate that it expects the
caller to handle that exception?

1.throw Exception
2.throws Exception
3.new Exception
4.Don't need to specify anything

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

throws Exception from metthod and the caller method should catch to handle the
exception.

Question - 20

method overloading don't care about return type.

Question - 21
Which of the following statements is correct for a method which is
overriding the following method ?
public void add(int a) {...}

1.the overriding method must return void

2.the overriding method must return int
3.the overriding method may return anything
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

In case of overriding , super class method and the sub class method should have same
return type. if super class method return ArrayList then subclass overriding method
should return same or sub type of ArrayList. An overriding method can also return a
subtype of the type returned by the overridden method. This is called a covariant
return type.

Question - 22

extend any other class.

Question - 30
What is the effect of issuing a wait() method on an object ?

1.If a notify() method has already been sent to that object then it has no effect
2.The object issuing the call to wait() will halt until another object sends a notify() or
notifyAll() method
3.An exception will be raised
4.The object issuing the call to wait() will be automatically synchronized with any
other objects using the receiving object.

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

issuing the call to wait() will halt until another object sends a notify() or notifyAll()
method.

Question - 31
What is the effect of adding the sixth element to a vector created in
the following manner?
new Vector(5, 10);

1.An IndexOutOfBounds exception is raised.

2.The vector grows in size to a capacity of 10 elements
3.The vector grows in size to a capacity of 15 elements
4.Nothing, the vector will have grown when the fifth element was added

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

Constructor of Vector public Vector(int initialCapacity, int capacityIncrement).

Adding the 6th element to a vector , Size will be initialCapacity+capacityIncrement ,
i,e 5+10 = 15

Question - 32
Observe the code below
public class Test {
int a[] = new int[4];
void aMethod()
{
int b = 0 , index;
a[a[b]] = a[b] = b = 2;
index = ??? ;
System.out.println(a[index]);
}
}
What value assigned to the variable index will print a non zero
result?

1.0
2.1
3.2
4.3

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

the operands are evaluated from left to right here so in the expression a[a[b]] the value
of b is 0 and a[0] also holds the value 0 when the expression is evaluated so the array
element at index 0 is assigned the value 2.

Question - 33
What is the output of the bellow code?
Object a = "hello";
String b = "hello";
if(a == b)
 System.out.println("equal");
else
System.out.println("not equal");

1.equal
2.not equal
3.Code not compile
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

It does not matter if the object reference is of type Object this will still return true
because both of them point to the same String object in the string pool.

Question - 34
Is the bellow statement True or False?
The garbage collector is required to makes sure that all objects
held by soft references are garbage collected before the VM
throws
an OutOfMemoryError.

1.True
2.False
3.Sometime true , sometime false.
4.None of the above.

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

If the VM finds itself unable to allocate memory for a new object it is required to kick
start the garbage collector and reclaim all objects that are not held by strong
references before throwing an OutOfMemoryError.

Question - 35
public class A{
private void test1(){

System.out.println("test1 A");
}
}

public class B extends A{

public void test1(){

System.out.println("test1 B");
}
}

public static void main(String[] args){
A b = new B();
b.test1();

}
}

What is the output?

1.test1 A
2.test1 B
3.Not complile because test1() method in class A is not visible.
4.None of the above.

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

Not complile because test1() method in class A is not private so it is not visible.

Question - 36
public class A{

}
}

What is the output?

1.test1 B
2.test1 A
3.Not complile because test1() method in class A is not visible
4.None of the above
Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

This is not related to superclass , B class object calls its own method so it compile and
output normally.

Question - 37
public class A{
public void test1(){

System.out.println("test1 A");
}
}

public class B extends A{

public void test1(){

System.out.println("test1 B");

When a byte is added to a char, what is the type of the result?

1.byte
2.int
3.long
4.non of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

The result of all arithmetic performed with the binary operators (not the assignment
operators) is an int, a long, a float, or a double. Here byte and char are promoted to
int, so the result is an int.
Question - 48
Which of the following statements are true?

1) The automatic garbage collection of the JVM prevents programs from

ever running out of memory
2) A program can suggest that garbage collection be performed but not
force it
3) Garbage collection is platform independent
4) An object becomes eligible for garbage collection when all
references denoting it are set to null.

1.1 and 4
2.2 and 4
3.2 and 3
4.3 and 4

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

If a program keeps creating new references without any being discarded it may run
out of memory. Unlike most aspects of Java garbage collection is platform dependent

Question - 49
Is the bellow import is correct?

import static java.lang.Math.*;

1.correct, static import allow

2.Incorrect, static import does not allow
3.Can't say
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

The static import construct allows unqualified access to static members without
inheriting from the type containing the static members. import static java.lang.Math.*;
can be use directly double r = cos(PI * 3); no need Math.PI

Question - 50
What is the output ?

package bean;
public class Abc {
public static int index_val = 10;
}

package com;
import static bean.Abc.index_val;

public class Test1 {

public static void main(String... args) {

System.out.println(index_val);
}
}

1.10
2.compile error, index_val not defined
3.Compile error at import static bean.Abc.index_val;
4.None of the error

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

The static import construct allows unqualified access to static members without
inheriting from the type containing the static members. J2SE 5.0 or later allows static
import like import static bean.Abc.index_val; and can be use directly
System.out.println(index_val);

Question - 51
What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following
code

public class Test extends Thread{

public static void main(String argv[]){
Test b = new Test();
b.start();
}
public void run(){
System.out.println("Running");
}
}

1.Compilation and run but no output

2.Compilation and run with the output "Running"
3.Compile time error with complaint of no Thread target
4.Compile time error with complaint of no access to Thread package

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

This is perfectly legitimate if useless sample of creating an instnace of a Thread and

causing its run method to execute via a call to the start method. The Thread class is
part of the core java.lang package and does not need any explicit import statement.
Question - 52
What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following
code?

public class B extends Thread{

public static void main(String argv[]){
B b = new B();
b.run();
}
public void start(){
for (int i = 0; i <10; i++){
System.out.println("Value of i = " + i);
}
}
}

1.A compile time error indicating that no run method is defined for the Thread class
2.A run time error indicating that no run method is defined for the Thread class
3.Clean compile and at run time the values 0 to 9 are printed out
4.Clean compile but no output at runtime

Explanation :
D is the correct answer.

This is a bit of a sneaky one as I have swapped around the names of the methods you
need to define and call when running a thread. If the for loop were defined in a
method called public void run() and the call in the main method had been to b.start()
The list of values from 0 to 9 would have been output

Question - 53
What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following
code

class Base{
protected int i = 99;
}
public class Ab{
private int i=1;
public static void main(String argv[]){
Ab a = new Ab();
a.hallow();
}

abstract void hallow(){

System.out.println("Claines "+i);
}

1.Compile time error

2.Compilation and output of Claines 99
3.Compilation and output of Claines 1
4.Compilation and not output at runtime

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

Abstract and native methods can't have a body: void hallow() abstract void hallow()

Question - 54
What is the output?

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) {

Set s = new TreeSet();

s.add("7");
s.add(9);
Iterator itr = s.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext())
System.out.print(itr.next() + " ");

1.Compile error
2.Runtime Exception
3.7 9
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.
| Without generics, the compiler does not know what type is appropriate for this
TreeSet, so it allows everything to compile. But at runtime he TreeSet will try to sort
the elements as they are added, and when it tries to compare an Integer with a String it
will throw a ClassCastException.
| Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot
be cast to java.lang.Integer.

Question - 55
What is the output for the bellow code ?

import java.util.EnumSet;
import static java.lang.System.out;

public class UsingEnumSet {

enum Day {
MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY,
SUNDAY
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

EnumSet<Day> allDays = EnumSet.range(Day.MONDAY, Day.SUNDAY);

System.out.println("All days: " + allDays);

1.All days: [MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY,

SATURDAY, SUNDAY]
2.All days: [MONDAY, SUNDAY]
3.Compile with error
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

EnumSet.range(from, to) : Creates an enum set initially containing all of the elements
in the range defined by the two specified endpoints

Question - 56
Is the bellow statement is true ?

The null reference CANNOT be stored in an enum set.

1.true
2.false
3.Can't say
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

java.util.EnumSet Enums can be used in a special purpose Set implementation

(EnumSet) which provides better performance. All of the elements in an enum set
MUST come from a single enum type. Enum sets are represented internally as bit
vectors. The EnumSet class defines new methods and inherits the ones in the
Set/Collection interfaces. NOTE, all methods are static except for the clone() method.
All methods return an EnumSet. The null reference CANNOT be stored in an enum
set.
Question - 57
What is the output ?
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) {

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("a{1,3}b?c*");
Matcher m = p.matcher("aaab");
boolean b = m.matches();
System.out.println(b);

}
}

1.true
2.false
3.Compile error
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

X? X, once or not at all X* X, zero or more times X+ X, one or more times X{n} X,
exactly n times X{n,} X, at least n times X{n,m} X, at least n but not more than m
times

Question - 58
Fill the gap:

1. class Outer {
2. class Inner{ }
3. }
4. class Test {
5. public static void main(String[] args) {
6. Outer o = new Outer();
7.
8. }
9. }

Which, inserted at line 7, creates an instance of Bar?

Use the following fragments zero or many times

Inner a = new o.Inner();
Outer.Inner a = o.new Inner();
Inner a = new Inner();
Question - 59
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

Calendar c = new Calendar();
System.out.println(c.getTimeInMillis());
}

What is the output for the above code ?

1.Returns this Calendar's time value in milliseconds.

2.Compile error : Cannot instantiate the type Calendar
3.Runtime Exception
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

Compile error : Cannot instantiate the type Calendar. In order to create a Calendar
instance, you have to use one of the overloaded getInstance() static factory methods:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

Question - 60
public class A {}

public class B implements Serializable {

A a = new A();
public static void main(String... args){
B b = new B();
try{
FileOutputStream fs = new FileOutputStream("b.ser");
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(fs);
os.writeObject(b);
os.close();

}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

What is the output for the above code ?

1.Compilation Fail
2.java.io.NotSerializableException: Because class A is not Serializable.
3.No Exception
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

java.io.NotSerializableException:A Because class A is not Serializable.
