5 public void init(){
6 add(new mybutton("bbb"));
7 }
8 public void paint(graphics screen) {
9 }
10 class mybutton extends button{
11 mybutton(string label){
12 super(label);
13 }
14 public string paramstring(){
15 return super.paramstring();
16 }
17 }
18 public static void main(string[] args){
19 frame myframe = new frame(
20 "copyright amit");
21 myframe.setsize(300,100);
22 applet myapplet = new hello4();
23 button b = new button("my button");
24 myapplet.add(b);

27 system.out.println(b1.paramstring());
28 myframe.add(myapplet);
29 myframe.setvisible(true);
30 myframe.addwindowlistener(new windowadapter(){
31 public void windowclosing(windowevent e){
32 system.exit(0);}});
33 }
34 } //end hello4 class.

q2. if you run the above program via appletviewer ( defining a html file), you see
on screen.
a) two buttons
b) one button with label as "bbb"
c) one button with label as "my buttonnew"
d) one button with label as "my button"

correct answer is b)

q3. in the above code if line 26 is uncommented and program runs as standalone
application

a) compile error
b) run time error
c) it will print the the label as parambutton for button b1

correct answer is c)

q4 in the code if you compile as "javac hello4.java" following files will be

generated.

d) one button with label as "my button"

correct answer is c)

q6. if from line no 14 keyword "public" is removed, what will happen.( hint
:paramstring() method in java.awt.button is a protected method. (assume line 26
is uncommented)

a) code will not compile.

b) code will compile but will give a run time error.
c) code will compile and no run time error.

correct answer is a). as you can not override a method with weaker access
privileges

q7. if from line no 14 keyword "public" is replaced with "protected", what will
happen.(hint :paramstring() method in java.awt.button is a protected
method.(assume line 26 is uncommented)
a) code will not compile.
b) code will compile but will give a run time error.
c) code will compile and no run time error.

correct answer is c) . as you can access a protected variable in the same package.

q8.if line no 26 is replaced with button b1 = new button("parambutton").(hint

:paramstring() method in java.awt.button is a protected method.(assume line 26 is
uncommented)

a) code will not compile.

b) code will compile but will give a run time error.
c) code will compile and no run time error.

correct answer is a) because protected variables and methods can not be accssed in
another package directly. they can only be accessed if the class is subclassed and
instance of subclass is used.

q9. what is the output of following if the return value is "the value 0 if the
argument string is equal to this string; a value less than 0 if this string is
lexicographically less than the string argument; and a value greater than 0 if
this string is lexicographically greater than the string argument" (assuming
written inside main)

string s5 = "amit";
string s6 = "amit";
system.out.println(s5.compareto(s6));
system.out.println(s6.compareto(s5));

q32) which one of the following always honors the components's preferred size.
a) flowlayout
b) gridlayout
c) borderlayout

correct answer is a)

q33) look at the following code

import java.awt.*;
public class visual extends java.applet.applet{
static button b = new button("test");
public void init(){
add(b);
}
public static void main(string args[]){
frame f = new frame("visual");
f.setsize(300,300);
f.add(b);
f.setvisible(true);
}
}

what will happen if above code is run as a standalone application

a) displays an empty frame

b) displays a frame with a button covering the entire frame
c) displays a frame with a button large enough to accomodate its label.

correct answer is b) reason- frame uses border layout which places the button to
centre
(by default) and ignores button's preferred size.

q34 if the code in q33 is compiled and run via appletviewer what will happen
a) displays an empty applet
b) displays a applet with a button covering the entire frame
c) displays a applet with a button large enough to accomodate its label.

correct answer is c) reason- applet uses flowlayout which honors button's

preferred size.

q35. what is the output

public static void main(string args[]){
frame f = new frame("visual");
f.setsize(300,300);
f.setvisible(true);
point p = f.getlocation();
system.out.println("x is " + p.x);
system.out.println("y is " + p.y);
}

a) x is 300
y is 300
b) x is 0
y is 0
c) x is 0
y is 300

correct answer is b) because postion is always relative to parent container and in

this
case frame f is the topemost container
q36) which one of the following always ignores the components's preferred size.
a) flowlayout
b) gridlayout
c) borderlayout

correct answer is b)

q37) consider a directory structure like this (nt or 95)

c:\java\12345.msg --file
\dir1\io.class -- io.class is under dir1

consider the following code

import java.io.*;
public class io {
public static void main(string args[]) {
file f = new file("..\\12345.msg");
try{
system.out.println(f.getcanonicalpath());
system.out.println(f.getabsolutepath());
}catch(ioexception e){
system.out.println(e);
}
}
}

what will be the output of running "java io" from c:\java\dir1

a) c:\java\12345.msg
c:\java\dir1\..\12345.msg

b) c:\java\dir1\12345.msg
c:\java\dir1\..\12345.msg

c) c:\java\dir1\..\12345.msg
c:\java\dir1\..\12345.msg

correct answer is a) as getcanonicalpath returns the canonical form of this file

object's pathname. the precise definition of canonical form is system-dependent,
but it usually
specifies an absolute pathname in which all relative references and references to
the current user directory have been completely resolved.
where as
getabsolutepath returns the absolute pathname of the file represented by this
object. if this object represents an absolute pathname, then return the pathname.
otherwise, return a pathname that is a concatenation of the current user
directory, the separator character, and the pathname of this file object.

q 38) suppose we copy io.class from c:\java\dir1 to c:\java

what will be the output of running "java io" from c:\java.
a) c:\java\12345.msg
c:\java\..\12345.msg

b) c:\12345.msg
c:\java\..\12345.msg

c) c:\java\..\12345.msg
c:\java\\..\12345.msg
correct answer is b)

q39) which one of the following methods of java.io.file throws ioexception and why

a) getcanonicalpath and getabsolutepath both require filesystem queries.

b) only getcannonicalpath as it require filesystem queries.
c) only getabsolutepath as it require filesystem queries.

correct answer is b)

q40) what will be the output if

consider a directory structure like this (nt or 95)

public class io {
public static void main(string args[]) {
file f = new file("12345.msg");
string arr[] = f.list();
system.out.println(arr.length);
}
}

a) compiler error as 12345.msg is a file not a directory

b) java.lang.nullpointerexception at run time
c) no error , but nothing will be printed on screen

correct ansewer is b)
