37. Consider the following code segment. Assume that num3 > num2 > 0.

int num1 = 0;
int num2 = /* initial value not shown */;
int num3 = /* initial value not shown */;

while (num2 < num3)


{
num1 += num2;
num2++;
}
Which of the following best describes the contents of num1 as a result of executing the code segment?

(A) The product of num2 and num3


(B) The product of num2 and num3 - 1
(C) The sum of num2 and num3
(D) The sum of all integers from num2 to num3, inclusive
(E) The sum of all integers from num2 to num3 - 1, inclusive

38. Consider the following class definition.
public class Value
{
private int num;

public int getNum()


{
return num;
}

// There may be instance variables, constructors, and methods not shown.


}
The following method appears in a class other than Value. It is intended to sum all the num instance
variables of the Value objects in its ArrayList parameter.
/** Precondition: valueList is not null */
public static int getTotal(ArrayList<Value> valueList)
{
int total = 0;
/* missing code */
return total;
}
Which of the following code segments can replace /* missing code */ so the getTotal method
works as intended?
I. for (int x = 0; x < valueList.size(); x++)
{
total += valueList.get(x).getNum();
}

II. for (Value v : valueList)


{
total += v.getNum();
}

III. for (Value v : valueList)


{
total += getNum(v);
}

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) I and II
(E) I and III

39. Consider the following recursive method.
public static boolean recurMethod(String str)
{
if (str.length() <= 1)
{
return true;
}
else if (str.substring(0, 1).compareTo(str.substring(1, 2)) > 0)
{
return recurMethod(str.substring(1));
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
Which of the following method calls will return true ?

(A) recurMethod("abcba")
(B) recurMethod("abcde")
(C) recurMethod("bcdab")
(D) recurMethod("edcba")
(E) recurMethod("edcde")

40. Consider the following class definitions.
public class A
{
public String message(int i)
{
return "A" + i;
}
}

public class B extends A


{
public String message(int i)
{
return "B" + i;
}
}
The following code segment appears in a class other than A or B.
A obj1 = new B(); // Line 1
B obj2 = new B(); // Line 2
System.out.println(obj1.message(3)); // Line 3
System.out.println(obj2.message(2)); // Line 4
Which of the following best explains the difference, if any, in the behavior of the code segment that will result
from removing the message method from class A ?

(A) The statement in line 3 will cause a compiler error because the message method for obj1 cannot
be found.
(B) The statement in line 4 will cause a compiler error because the message method for obj2 cannot
be found.
(C) As a result of the method call in line 3, the message method in class B will be executed instead of
the message method in class A.
(D) As a result of the method call in line 4, the message method in class B will be executed instead of
the message method in class A.
(E) The behavior of the code segment will remain unchanged.
