QUESTION1

You have the following code in a file called Test.java

class Base{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello");
}
}

public class Test extends Base{}

What will happen if you try to compile and run this?

1. It will fail to compile.

2. Runtime error
3. Compiles and runs with no output.
4. Compiles and runs printing "Hello"

ANS : 4

Correct answer/s : 4
This will compile and print "Hello"
The entry point for a standalone java program is
the main method of the class that is being run.
The java runtime system will look for that method
in class Test and find that it does have such a method.
It does not matter whether it is defined in the class itself
or is inherited from a parent class.

QUESTION2

What is the result of trying to compile and run the following code.
public final static void main(String[] args){
double d = 10.0 / -0;
if(d == Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)
System.out.println("Positive infinity");
else
System.out.println("Negative infinity");
}

1. output Positive infinity

2. output Negative infinity
3. Will fail to compile
4. Runtime exception

ANS : 1

Corr answer : 1
There is no such thing as a positive or negative zero.
Hence the result is always positive infinity.

QUESTION3

What is the result that will be printed out ?

 void aMethod()
{
float f = (1 / 4) * 10;
int i = Math.round(f);
System.out.println(i);
}

1. 2
2. 0
3. 3
4. 2.5
5. 25

ANS : 2
Corr Answer : 2
The result of 1/4 will be zero because integer
divion is carried out on the operands.
If you need to obtain a fractional value
you need to use either a float or double literal
as in 1F / 4F.

QUESTION4

Which of the following are valid declarations?

Note : None of the literals used here

contain the character O they are all zeroes.

1. int i = 0XCAFE;
2. boolean b = 0;
3. char c = 'A';
4. byte b = 128;
5. char c = "A";

ANS : 1,3

Correct answer/s :1,3

1. is correct as it is a valid hexadecimal number.2. is wrong
because you can only assign the values true and false to them
4 is wrong because 128 is beyond the range of a byte. 5is wrong
because "A" is not a char it is a String.

QUESTION5

What is the result of trying to compile and run this program.

public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
int[] a = {1};
Test t = new Test();
t.increment(a);
System.out.println(a[a.length - 1]);
}
void increment(int[] i){
i[i.length - 1]++;
}
}
1. Compiler error.
2. Compiles and runs printing out 2
3. Compiles and runs printing out 1
4. An ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception at runtime

ANS : 2

Correct answer/s : 2
You are passing a reference to an array as
the argument to the method. The method may not
modify the passed object reference but it can modify
the object itself.

QUESTION6

What will happen if you try to compile and run this ?

public class Test{
static{
print(10);
}
static void print(int x){
System.out.println(x);
System.exit(0);
}
}

1. Compiler error.
2. Will throw a NoSuchMethod error at runtime.
3. It will compile and run printing out "10"
4. It will run with no output.
5. It will run and print "10" and then crash with an error.

ANS : 3

Correct answer : 3
This will run, print a message and terminate gracefully.
The runtime system needs to load the class before it can look
for the main method. So the static initializer will run first
and print "10". Immediately after that System.exit(0) will be called
terminating the program before an error can be thrown.

QUESTION7

Is this legal?
long longArr[];
int intArr[] = { 7 ,8 , 9};
longArr = intArr;

1. Yes
2. No

ANS : 2

Correct answer : 2
You cannot assign a reference to an array of primitives
to another unless they contain the same primitive types.
QUESTION8

True or False.
The range of a byte is from -127 to 128

1. True
2. False

ANS : 2

Correct answer/s : 2
The statement is false. The range of an array
is from - 128 to 127

QUESTION9

Identify the valid assignments.

1. float f = \u0038;
2. long L2 = 2L;
3. float f = 1.2;
4. char c = '/u004E';
5. byte b = 100;

ANS : 1,2,4,5

Corr answer : 1, 2, 5.
1 is correct because \u0038 is unicode for nbr 8.
3 is wrong because 1.2 is a double literal.
4. is a little sneaky perhaps. The
unicode escape character is incorrect

QUESTION10

What is the result of trying to compile and run the following code.
public static void main(String[] args){
double d = 10 / 0;
if(d == Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)
System.out.println("Positive infinity");
else
System.out.println("Negative infinity");
}

1. output Positive infinity

2. output Negative infinity
3. Will fail to compile
4. Runtime exception

ANS : 4

Corr answer : 4
Division by zero on integer literals will throw
a runtime error.

What will be the outcome on attempting to compile and run this ?

1. Compiles and runs printing out "hello".

2. Compilation error at line 16.
3. The compiler raises an objection to the assignment at line 15.
4. Throws a NoSuchMethodException at runtime.

ANS : 1

Object reference conversion is possible here.

The old type which is class can be assigned
to an interface type as long as the class implements
that interface.
QUESTION : 3
What will happen if you try to compile and run this ?
interface A{
public void innerMeth();
}
public class Test {
A a;
int memVar = 1;
void aMethod(){
a = new A(){
public void innerMeth(){
System.out.println(memVar);
} };
}

public static void main(String[] args){

Test t = new Test();
t.a.innerMeth();
}
}

1. Compiler error.
2. NoSuchMethodException at runtime.
3. Compiles and runs printing 1
4. Throws a NullPointerException at runtime.

ANS : 4
You will get a NullPointerException because the
inner class object gets assigned to the reference a
only after the aMethod() runs. You can prevent
the exception by calling t.aMethod() before the
inner anonymous class method is called.

QUESTION : 4

What will happen if you try to compile and run this code.

class Rectangle{
public int area(int length , int width) {
return length * width;
}
}

class Square extends Rectangle{

public int area(long length , long width) {
return (int) Math.pow(length ,2);
}
}
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Square r = new Square();
System.out.println(r.area(5 , 4));
}
}

1. Will not compile.

2. Will compile and run printing out 20
3. Runtime error
4. Will compile and run printing out 25

ANS : 1

This code will fail to compile because the

compiler cannot resolve the method call here.

QUESTION1

You have the following code in a file called Test.java

class Base{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello");
}
}

public class Test extends Base{}

What will happen if you try to compile and run this?

1. It will fail to compile.

2. Runtime error
3. Compiles and runs with no output.
4. Compiles and runs printing "Hello"

ANS : 4

This will compile and print "Hello"

 The entry point for a standalone java program is
the main method of the class that is being run.
The java runtime system will look for that method
in class Test and find that it does have such a method.
It does not matter whether it is defined in the class itself
or is inherited from a parent class.

QUESTION2

What is the result of trying to compile and run the following code.
public final static void main(String[] args){
double d = 10.0 / -0;
if(d == Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)
System.out.println("Positive infinity");
else
System.out.println("Negative infinity");
}

1. output Positive infinity

2. output Negative infinity
3. Will fail to compile
4. Runtime exception

ANS : 1

There is no such thing as a positive or negative zero.

Hence the result is always positive infinity.

QUESTION3

What is the result that will be printed out ?

void aMethod()
{
float f = (1 / 4) * 10;
int i = Math.round(f);
System.out.println(i);
}

1. 2
2. 0
3. 3
4. 2.5
5. 25

ANS : 2
The result of 1/4 will be zero because integer
divion is carried out on the operands.
If you need to obtain a fractional value
you need to use either a float or double literal
as in 1F / 4F.

QUESTION4

Which of the following are valid declarations?

Note : None of the literals used here

contain the character O they are all zeroes.
1. int i = 0XCAFE;
2. boolean b = 0;
3. char c = 'A';
4. byte b = 128;
5. char c = "A";

ANS : 1,3

1. is correct as it is a valid hexadecimal number.2. is wrong

because you can only assign the values true and false to them
4 is wrong because 128 is beyond the range of a byte. 5is wrong
because "A" is not a char it is a String.

QUESTION5

What is the result of trying to compile and run this program.

public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
int[] a = {1};
Test t = new Test();
t.increment(a);
System.out.println(a[a.length - 1]);
}
void increment(int[] i){
i[i.length - 1]++;
}
}

1. Compiler error.
2. Compiles and runs printing out 2
3. Compiles and runs printing out 1
4. An ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception at runtime

ANS : 2

You are passing a reference to an array as

the argument to the method. The method may not
modify the passed object reference but it can modify
the object itself.

QUESTION6

What will happen if you try to compile and run this ?

public class Test{
static{
print(10);
}
static void print(int x){
System.out.println(x);
System.exit(0);
}
}

1. Compiler error.
2. Will throw a NoSuchMethod error at runtime.
3. It will compile and run printing out "10"
4. It will run with no output.
5. It will run and print "10" and then crash with an error.

ANS : 3

This will run, print a message and terminate gracefully.

The runtime system needs to load the class before it can look
for the main method. So the static initializer will run first
and print "10". Immediately after that System.exit(0) will be called
terminating the program before an error can be thrown.

QUESTION7

Is this legal?
long longArr[];
int intArr[] = { 7 ,8 , 9};
longArr = intArr;

1. Yes
2. No

ANS : 2

You cannot assign a reference to an array of primitives

to another unless they contain the same primitive types.

QUESTION8

True or False.
The range of a byte is from -127 to 128

1. True
2. False

ANS : 2

Correct answer/s : 2
The statement is false. The range of an array
is from - 128 to 127

QUESTION9

Identify the valid assignments.

1. float f = \u0038;
2. long L2 = 2L;
3. float f = 1.2;
4. char c = '/u004E';
5. byte b = 100;

ANS : 1,2,4,5

1 is correct because \u0038 is unicode for nbr 8.

3 is wrong because 1.2 is a double literal.
4. is a little sneaky perhaps. The
unicode escape character is incorrect
QUESTION10

What is the result of trying to compile and run the following code.
public static void main(String[] args){
double d = 10 / 0;
if(d == Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)
System.out.println("Positive infinity");
else
System.out.println("Negative infinity");
}

1. output Positive infinity

2. output Negative infinity
3. Will fail to compile
4. Runtime exception

ANS : 4

Division by zero on integer literals will throw

a runtime error.

4. Compiles and throws a NumberFormatException at runtime.
5. Compiles and runs printing out a number.
6. Compiles and runs printing out an alphabet.

ANS : 5
1. Is wrong because it is legal to assign integer
literal to a char variable as long as the value
does not exceed the range of a char.
2. Is wrong because parseByte(String s , int radix)
will accept any native numeric type that is not
wider than an int.
