SECTION A

Question 1 (20)

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.


You can place as many statements as you need within a try block, and you can catch as
many exceptions as you want.
a. a. True
b. False

Placing data conversion attempts in a try block allows you to handle potential data
conversion errors caused by careless user entry.
b. a. True
b. False

A catch block is a method that can be called directly and takes an argument that is some
type of exception.
c. a. True
b. False

Comma-separated values (CSV) is a file format strictly used for working with Java and
databases.
d. a. True
b. False

Since variables declared within a try or catch block are local to that block, the variable
goes out of scope when the try or catch block ends.
e. a. True
b. False

Enter the appropriate word(s) to complete the statement.


____________________ is an abstract class that contains methods for performing
f.
output.

The ____________________ class comprises less serious errors that represent unusual
g.
conditions that arise while a program is running and from which the program can recover.
In order to use a variable both with a try or catch block and afterward, you must declare
h.
the variable before the ____ block begins.

The ____ method returns the last Path element in a list of pathnames.
i.

Any of the file input or output methods in a Java program might throw an exception, so
j.
all the relevant code in the class is placed in a ____ block.

SECTION B

Question 2 (20)

Give a sample/skeleton code (or format ) of the try…catch …finally sequence.


2.1 (10)
Explain three different outcomes of the try block that would cause the code in the finally
block to execute.

public interface FindTheError


{
void firstMethod(int anIntNum)
{
2.2 System.out.println("Did you find the error?"); (4)
}
}

What is the problem with the above interface? How would you correct the interface?

public abstract class Car


{
private String model;
public abstract void color();
2.3 public String getName() (6)
{
return model;
}
public void setName(String carModel)
{
model = carModel;
}
}

Using the code above, would it be possible to create a class in which you declare a Car
object with the statement Car myCar = new Car("Honda");?
Explain why or why not.

SECTION C

Question 3 (30)
Create a Division application that accepts 2 values- a numerator and denominator and
create a try-catch block that will catch any type of Exception object and display the
message “Invalid operation”.

Question 4 (30)
Write a Java program that reads a file and throws an exception if the file is
empty.
