Oracle Placement Paper
1. How many times the program will print "India
include
int main()
{
printf("India");
main();
return 0;
}
[Link] times B.32767 times C.65535 times [Link] stack doesn't overflow
Answer: D
Explanation:
A call stack or function stack is used for several related purposes, but the main reason for having
one is to keep track of the point to which each active subroutine should return control when it
finishes executing. A stack overflow occurs when too much memory is used on the call stack. Here
function main() is called repeatedly and its return address is stored in the stack. After stack memory
is full. It shows stack overflow error.
2. Specify the 2 library functions to dynamically allocate memory?
[Link]() and memalloc() [Link]() and memalloc() [Link]() and calloc() [Link]()
and faralloc()
Answer: C
3. You need to store elements in a collection that guarantees that no duplicates are stored. Which
two interfaces provide that capability?
[Link] [Link] [Link] of the above
Answer: A
Explanation:
Option A is correct. A Map cannot contain duplicate keys. Option B is wrong. Lists typically allow
duplicate elements. Option C is wrong. Collection allows duplicate elements.
4. Which three are methods of the Object class? 1. notify(); 2. notifyAll(); 3. isInterrupted(); 4.
synchronized(); 5. interrupt(); 6. wait(long msecs); 7. sleep(long msecs); 8. yield();
A.1, 2, 4 B.2, 4, 5 C.1, 2, 6 D.2, 3, 4
[Link]
Answer: C
Explanation:
(1), (2), and (6) are correct. They are all related to the list of threads waiting on the specified object.
(3), (5), (7), and (8) are incorrect answers. The methods isInterrupted() andinterrupt() are instance
methods of Thread. The methods sleep () and yield() are static methods of Thread. D is
incorrect because synchronized is a keyword and the synchronized()construct is part of the Java
language.
5. Which class or interface defines the wait(), notify(),and notifyAll() methods?
[Link] [Link] [Link] [Link]
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Object class defines these thread-specific methods. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because
they do not define these methods. And yes, the Java API does define a class called Class, though
you do not need to know it for the exam
6. The SQL WHERE clause:
[Link] the column data that are returned. [Link] the row data are returned. [Link] A and
B are correct. [Link] A nor B are correct.
Answer: B
7. To define what columns should be displayed in an SQL SELECT statement:
[Link] FROM to name the source table(s) and list the columns to be shown after SELECT.
[Link] USING to name the source table(s) and list the columns to be shown after SELECT.
[Link] SELECT to name the source table(s) and list the columns to be shown after USING.
[Link] USING to name the source table(s) and list the columns to be shown after WHERE.
Answer: A
8. The ODBC core API consists of which of the following functions
[Link] or rollback transactions [Link] to data sources with driver-specific information
only [Link] to data sources only [Link] 1 and 3 above are in the OBDC core API.
Answer: D
9. The memory address of fifth element of an array can be calculated by the formula
[Link]
[Link](Array[5]=Base(Array)+w(5-lower bound), where w is the number of words per memory cell for
the array
[Link](Array[5])=Base(Array[5])+(5-lower bound), where w is the number of words per memory cell
for the array
[Link](Array[5])=Base(Array[4])+(5-Upper bound), where w is the number of words per memory cell
for the array
[Link] of above
Answer: A
10. Which of the following is not a limitation of binary search algorithm?
[Link] use a sorted array
[Link] of sorted array is expensive when a lot of insertion and deletions are needed
[Link] must be a mechanism to access middle element directly
[Link] search algorithm is not efficient when the data elements are more than 1000.
Answer: D
11. SNAPSHOT is used for [DBA]
[Link] [Link] space [Link] server [Link] data replication
Answer: D
12. What is difference between a DIALOG WINDOW and a DOCUMENT WINDOW regarding
moving the window with respect to the application window?
[Link] windows behave the same way as far as moving the window is concerned.
B.A document window can be moved outside the application window while a dialog window cannot
be moved
C.A dialog window can be moved outside the application window while a document window cannot
be moved
[Link]
Answer: C
13. What does DLL stands for?
[Link] Language Library [Link] Link [Link] Load Library [Link] of the
above
Answer: B
[Link]
14. Which Oracle access method is the fastest way for Oracle to retrieve a single row?
[Link] key access [Link] via unique index [Link] access by ROWID [Link] table
scan
Answer: A
15. void start()
{
A a = new A();
B b = new B();
a.s(b);
b = null; /* Line 5 */
a = null; /* Line 6 */
[Link]("start completed"); /* Line 7 */
}
When is the B object, created in line 3, eligible for garbage collection
[Link] line 5 [Link] line 6 [Link] line 7 [Link] is no way to be absolutely certain.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Option D is correct. I think there are too many unknowns about the method s and the classes A and
B to be able to answer this question with any certainty.
16. int i,j;
for(i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
j+=5;
assert(i<5);
}
[Link] error B.5 C.6 D.10
Answer: A
Explanation:
Runtime error: Abnormal program termination. assert failed (i<5), NOTE asserts are used during
debugging to make sure that certain conditions are satisfied. If assertion fails, the program will
terminate reporting the same. After debugging use, #undef NDEBUG and this will disable all the
assertions from the source code. Assertion is a good debugging tool to make use of.
17. main()
[Link]
{
int c[ ]={2.8,3.4,4,6.7,5};
int j,*p=c,*q=c;
for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
printf(" %d ",*c);
++q;
}
for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
printf(" %d ",*p);
++p;
}
}
A.2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 6 5 B.2.8,3.4,4,6.7,5 [Link] error [Link]
Answer: A
Explanation:
Initially pointer c is assigned to both p and q. In the first loop, since only q is incremented and not c ,
the value 2 will be printed 5 times. In second loop p itself is incremented. So the values 2 3 4 6 5 will
be printed
18. main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("enter the character");
getchar();
sum(argv[1],argv[2]);
}
sum(num1,num2) int num1,num2;
{
return num1+num2;
}
A.2 B.3 [Link] error [Link]
Answer: C
Explanation:
argv[1] & argv[2] are strings. They are passed to the function sum without converting it to integer
values.
19. #include
main()
[Link]
{
char s[]={'a','b','c','\n','c','\0'};
char *p,*str,*str1;
p=&s[3];
str=p;
str1=s;
printf("%d",++*p + ++*str1-32);
}
A.77 [Link] error C.32 [Link]
Answer: A
Explanation:
p is pointing to character '\n'. str1 is pointing to character 'a' ++*p. "p is pointing to '\n' and that is
incremented by one." the ASCII value of '\n' is 10, which is then incremented to 11. The value of
++*p is 11. ++*str1, str1 is pointing to 'a' that is incremented by 1 and it becomes 'b'. ASCII value of
'b' is 98. Now performing (11 + 98 - 32), we get 77("M"); So we get the output 77 :: "M" (Ascii is 77).
20. #include
int main()
{
int j=1;
while(j <= 255)
{
printf("%c %d\n", j, j);
j++;
}
return 0;
}
[Link] times B.255 times C.256 times D.254 times
Answer: B
Explanation:
The while(j <= 255) loop will get executed 255 times. The size short int(2 byte wide) does not affect
the while() loop.

22. If you need to duplicate the entire disk, which command will you use?
[Link] [Link] [Link] [Link]
