QUESTION 3:

What will the following code print?

import java.io.*;

class RandomAccessFileExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
RandomAccessFile file = new RandomAccessFile("test.dat", "rw");
file.writeInt(100);
file.seek(0);
System.out.println(file.readInt());
file.close();
}
}

a. 0

b. Runtime Error

c. Compilation Erro

d. 100

Correct Answer:

d. 100

Detailed Solution:

The program writes the integer 100 to the file test.dat. Using the seek(0) method, the file pointer
is reset to the beginning, and the integer is read back and printed.

QUESTION 5:

What will the following Java program output?

import java.io.*;

class SequenceInputStreamExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ByteArrayInputStream input1 = new
ByteArrayInputStream("123".getBytes());
ByteArrayInputStream input2 = new
ByteArrayInputStream("ABC".getBytes());
SequenceInputStream sequence = new
SequenceInputStream(input1, input2);

int i;
while ((i = sequence.read()) != -1) {
System.out.print((char) i);
}
}
}

a. 123ABC

b. ABC123

c. Compilation Error

d. Runtime Error

Correct Answer:

a. 123ABC

Detailed Solution:

The SequenceInputStream combines input1 and input2 streams sequentially. It first reads the
content of input1 (123), followed by input2 (ABC), resulting in 123ABC.

QUESTION 6:

What is the output of the following Java program?

class Main {

public static void main(String args[]) {

final int i;
i = 20;
i = 30;
System.out.println(i);
}
}

a. 30

b. Compiler Error

c. Garbage value

d. 0

Correct Answer:

b. Compiler Error

Detailed Solution:

i is assigned a value twice. Final variables can be assigned values only one. Following is the compiler
error “Main.java:5: error: variable i might already have been assigned”.

QUESTION 7:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

import java.io.*;
class Chararrayinput {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String obj = "abcdefgh";
int length = obj.length();
char c[] = new char[length];
obj.getChars(0, length, c, 0);
CharArrayReader input1 = new CharArrayReader(c);
CharArrayReader input2 = new CharArrayReader(c, 1, 4);
int i, j;
try {
while ((i = input1.read()) == (j = input2.read())) {
System.out.print((char) i);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

a. abc

b. abcd

c. abcde

d. none of the mentioned

Correct Answer:

d. none of the mentioned

Detailed Solution:

No output is printed. CharArrayReader object input1 contains string “abcdefgh” whereas object input2
contains string “bcde”, when while((i=input1.read())==(j=input2.read())) is executed the starting
character of each object is compared since they are unequal control comes out of loop and nothing is
printed on the screen.

QUESTION 8:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

public class Calculator {

int num = 100;

public void calc(int num) {

this.num = num * 10;
}

public void printNum() {

System.out.println(num);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Calculator obj = new Calculator();
obj.calc(2);
obj.printNum();
}
}

a. 20

b. 100

c. 1000

d. 2

Correct Answer:

a. 20

Detailed Solution:

Here the class instance variable name(num) is same as calc() method local variable name(num). So for
referencing class instance variable from calc() method, this keyword is used. So in statement this.num =
num * 10, num represents local variable of the method whose value is 2 and this.num represents class
instance variable whose initial value is 100. Now in printNum() method, as it has no local variable whose
name is same as class instance variable, so we can directly use num to reference instance variable,
although this.num can be used.

QUESTION 9:

What will be the output of the following code?

import java.io.*;

public class W7 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {

PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(System.out);

writer.write(9 + 97);

writer.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}

a. It will give compile-time error

b. It will give run-time error

c. j

d. 106

Correct Answer:

c. j

Detailed Solution:

The output of this program will be the character 'j' because the Unicode code point for 106
corresponds to 'j'.

What will be the output of the following code.

file.txt contain "This is Programming in Java online course." (without quotes)

import java.io.File;

class FileSizeEample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Specify the file path
String filePath = "file.txt";

// Create a File object

File file = new File(filePath);

// Get the size of the file

long fileSize = file.length();

// Print the size of the file

System.out.println(fileSize);
}
}

a. 42

b. 35

c. 7

d. 0

Correct Answer:

a. 42

Detailed Solution:

The length() method on the File object, which returns the size of the file in bytes.
