Which of the following code snippets compile? Select two options.
A) for(false){}
B) if(false){}
C) while(false){}
D) Boolean bool = false; while(bool){}
The answers are B, D. for() requires a value to iterate through. while() is
evaluated more strictly than if() by the JVM, so the JVM evaluates
while(false) and sees that the code inside the while statement is unreachable.
if(false) is also unreachable, but the JVM allows that code to compile.

The answer is B. i2 is considered a primitive by the JVM for the getClass
method, since it is an array of ints. This is despite the fact that in Java, an
array is an object. The superclass Object has a .getClass() method, and all
objects inherit this.

and it must be the class with the same name as the java file it is contained in.
So in the above code, only class Go should have the public modifier.

D) None of the above
The answer is C. The first problem is that 'Shi Tzu' is an array of characters.
The Character API calls for only a single character, not for an array of

What will the program print? Select 1 option.
A) “45”
B) Does not compile.
C) “Hello”

The answer is A. Since "Hello" is a valid String object, "Hello" is assigned to
q.obj. But then q.obj is pointed to Integer q.i, which has the value 45.
System.out.println() calls at String.valueOf(x) to get the printed object's
string value.

B) “10” followed by “10”

The answer is C. 10 is printed first because Fool.r (which equals 10) is
explicitly called and passed to a method that does a println on the value
passed. 12 is then printed because fy.r is printed, and fy is instantiated as
FooledYou object, so its value is 12.

True or false? In java, object parameters are passed by value?
A) True
B) False
The answer is A. The tricky part is that java passes a copy of the memory
reference to the method, so both the original reference and the copy of the
reference are pointing to the same object in memory. Therefore, if the code
modifies the object parameter in the method, the original object will truly be
modified. To be succinct, java passes by value of reference for non-
primitives. The object itself is never passed.

C) Getters and setters are control the flow of the program
D) Getters and setters maintain encapsulation
The answers are B, D. Getters and setters are instance level methods in a

variables themselves to have the private modifier. It is good OO (object
oriented) programing practice for methods of a class to control the
interactions of other objects with that class.

What is the output of the code? Select one option.
A) “5”
B) “5.0”
C) Compile time exception
D) Runtime exception
The answer is C. float f = 5.0; is not valid. The JVM reads that line as trying
to assign a double to a float, and it will not demote double to float because

public String addString(String str){

}
public StringBuilder addSB(StringBuilder strbl){

}
}
What will the code print?
A) "hello world" four times
B) "hello" followed by "hello world" followed by "hello" followed by "hello
world"
C) "hello" followed by "world" followed by "hello" followed by "world"
D) "hello world" twice followed by "hello" followed by "hello world"
The answer is D. String and StringBuilder are both objects, so they are
passed by reference. However, String is immutable, StringBuilder is not. So
s is never truly changed. Also, in the addString() method, str += creates a
new String object, so return str returns a String object with the value "hello
world".

C) Change the method called in Line 3 and 5 to doubleValue()

E) No changes need to be made.
The answer is A. In line 2, n is declared to be of type Number, which is a
superclass of Integer, so no explicit casting is needed. In line 4, i was
previously declared to be a subclass of Number, and the compiler sees n as an
object of class number, so i must be explicitly cast.

the Exception is thrown back up the method chain until it is handled in the
main method. The main method then continues on with its next line of code.

What are the benefits of object-oriented programing (OOP)? Select three
answers.
A) Code is socketable or modular, so a class’s source code can be
maintained independently of the rest of an application’s code.
B) An object’s code is kept private, meaning other objects only interact with
an object’s methods, so the internal code is kept hidden.
C) Objects are easily reusable. They can be plugged into multiple parts of
the code.
D) Object-oriented code executes faster and computer resource usage is
minimized.
The answers are A, B, C. A is describing the fact that an object can be
modified without needing to recode anywhere else in an app. For example, if
the product class of a Point of Sale system needs to be expanded to meet new
business needs, there is likely nothing wrong with the rest of the code. OOP
allows the product class to be modified while leaving the rest of the code as-
is.
B is useful for proprietary code. For example, if a company develops and
sells code that plugs into an existing customer application, the proprietary
code needs to be kept invisible to the customer. If the customer only interacts
with methods, the variables and logic of the classes in the code are kept
proprietary.
C describes the ability of a class to be plugged into an app in multiple
locations, or even into multiple apps. Older programming languages were
linear in their execution. OOP lets an object be called repeatedly without
having to rewrite the same code repeatedly.

True or false? This code compiles.
A) True
B) False
The answer is A. Local variables such as i must always be initialized before
they are used. i is never used, so the code compiles. It is always best to
initialize a local variable. Also, if the compiler can see that an if statement
will definitely execute and initialize a variable, the code will compile. In this
case, even though an if statement would execute, the compiler will not allow
the code because a variable is contained in the if statement. x may be 2
currently, but the compiler cannot see if it will be changed somewhere else in
the code before the if statement executes.

subclasses. For example, Vehicle class may have SUV, Coup and Truck as
subclasses. It may have Transport as its superclass, but it cannot have any
other superclass.

True or false? An object can implement multiple interfaces.
A) True
B) False
The answer is A. Allowing implementation of multiple interfaces is one way
that Java gets around the limitations of allowing objects only to have one
superclass. For example, the Bat class may implement both Flyer and
Mammal interfaces. This means it would have to contain all methods from
both of those interfaces, but that makes sense because a bat has all
characteristics of both a mammal and a flyer.

The answer is D. If the && conditional operator had been used instead of &,
this code would have run and the answer would have been B. However, &
will evaluate both statements (in this case q.x != null and !q.x.equals("")).
This fails because q.x is null, so the .equals() method cannot be called on x.

String str = " this".concat("that ").substring(3).trim().valueOf(2);
What is the value of str after the above code executes?
A) 2
B) s
C) t
D) Does not compile
The answer is A. " this".concat("that ").substring(3).trim() has a value of
“isthat “, but the valueOf(int) ignores all of this and returns a String
representation of the parameter int. It is not finding a value at an index.
This is a static method simply used for returning a String object.

not exist that cannot be accessed by any other class. This would be poor
OOP design, since classes are meant to carry out particular roles as part of a

Which line causes a compile time error? Select one option.
A) line 1
B) line 2
C) line 3
D) none
The answer is C. Line 1 is conforms to the Integer class API. Line 2 uses
autoboxing to cast r as a double because Double.valueOf(double) requires a
double. Line 3 fails because the JVM will not automatically cast a double as
an int. Doing so could cause information loss.

The answer is D. In java se 7, Strings are not valid to switch on. That is why
the switch statement switches on a char value. However, the compiler sees
that the case statements are Strings and gives a compile time error.

A) “marathon” followed by “race”
B) “race” followed by “race”

D) Does not compile
The answer is A. In class Marathon and Triathlon, name is hidden. To
access the interface name, Triathlon uses the code form Interface.field. If
Interface.field is not specified, java returns the field of the class the method
resides in. Also, both Marathon and Triathlon were declared type Race. This
affects the methods available to m and t. This does not affect the field
returned.

A) “super print” followed by “This is all there is”
B) “This is all there is” followed by “super print”
C) “This is all there is”
D) Compile time error
The answer is D. When the application is run, it creates an instance of class
Test using the default constructor. This in turn tries to call the default
constructor of the super class, SuperTest. However, since SuperTest has
defined constructors, it does not have a default constructor. The compiler
sees this. **Note** Some IDEs such as Eclipse will still run the code despite
the compile time error. The output is “super print” followed by “This is all
there is”. The compiler will still issue a warning. However, for the exam the
answer would be D.

True or False: The code will print “True”.
A) True

The answer is B. There is actually a compile time error. The constructor is
fine, but when the JVM evaluates sb.toString().equals(this.toString()) it sees
this.toString() as a static reference. this cannot be used in a static context
because by its nature it is referring to an instance of a class, not something at

True or false: The code will print “True”.
A) True
B) False
The answer is B. There are two problems with this code. First, char c = “a”
is not the correct way to assign a value to chars. The correct code would be
char c = ‘a’ (note the single quotes). Second, c is a primitive and thus it does
not have any methods. Therefore one cannot invoke .equals() on c. More
appropriate would be c == s, but the JVM knows that c and s are different
classes so that also causes a compile time error.

The answer is C. if(a = b) sets a to false, so the code is really if(false) and
thus the if statement is not executed. The same holds for the second if()
statement. if(b = !a) first sets b = !a (which is the same as b = true) and then
evaluates if(true) and executes the if statement. The fourth if statement is not
entered because it is an else if() statement. Once one of the preceding if()
statements had been entered, the fourth would not execute.

The answers are A, D. A non-static, or instance level variable, cannot be
referenced unless an instance of the class exists. The reference must include
the name of the instance that the variable is a field in. As for class execution

C) “Team USA” followed by “Team USA and Team UK ” followed by

D) “Team USA and Team UK” followed by “Team USA ” followed by

The answer is A. Only the statement s = modify(s,y) actually reassigns the
value in the memory space that the variable s is pointing to. In other words, s
is a new String object. s.concat(y) and modify(s,y) do not change the value
of String s because they do create a new String in memory that s is referring
to. Since strings are immutable, the changes these methods made to the value
of string s are not retained.

The answer is B. Since the subclass, Test, is what is instantiated, then it is

constructor. It is good practice to put the final modifier on any methods
called by the superclass constructor so that surprising results like this are
avoided.

True or false? A class implementing an interface must implement all
methods of the interface.
A) True
B) False
The answer is B. While it is true that a concrete class must implement all
methods of an implemented interface, an abstract class does not have to
implement all methods of an implemented interface. However, whatever
concrete subclass that extends the abstract class will eventually have to
implement all the methods. This is because by inheriting from the abstract
class, the subclass by definition is of the type that the interface is.
For example, if abstract class Dog implements Animal, and subclass German
Shepherd extends Dog, then German Shepherd is of type Animal as well as
Dog.
