Q1. Consider the following program:

public class StrEqual {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String s1 = "hello";

String s2 = new String("hello");

String s3 = "hello";

if (s1 == s2) {

System.out.println("s1 and s2 equal");

} else {

System.out.println("s1 and s2 not equal");

if (s1 == s3) {

System.out.println("s1 and s3 equal");

} else {

System.out.println("s1 and s3 not equal");

Which one of the following options provides the output of this program when executed?
a)

s1 and s2 equal

s1 and s3 equal

b)

s1 and s2 equal

s1 and s3 not equal

c)
s1 and s2 not equal

s1 and s3 equal

d)

s1 and s2 not equal

s1 and s3 not equal

Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

c)

s1 and s2 not equal

s1 and s3 equal

Explanation:

JVM sets a constant pool in which it stores all the string constants used in the type. If two references are
declared with a constant, then both refer to the same constant object. The == operator checks the
similarity of the objects themselves (and not the values in it). Here, the first comparison is between two
distinct objects, so we get s1 and s2 not equal. On the other hand, since references to s1 and s3 refer to
the same object, we get s1 and s3 equal.

Q2. Consider the following program:

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String str = null;

System.out.println(str.valueOf(10));

Which of the following statements correctly describes the behavior of this program?
a) This program will result in a compiler error.
b) This program will throw a NullPointerException.
c) This program will print 10 in the console.
d) This program will print null in the console.

Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

c) This program will print 10 in the console.

Explanation:

The valueOf(int) method is a static method in String that returns the String representation of the integer
value that is passed as its argument. Since calling a static method does not require dereferencing the
reference variable on which it is called, this program does not throw a NullPointerException.

Q3. Consider the following program and predict the output:

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String s = new String("5");

System.out.println(1 + 10 + s + 1 + 10);

a) 11511
b) 1105110
c) 115110
d) 27

Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

c) 115110

Explanation:

The string concatenation operator works as follows: if both the operands are numbers, it performs the
addition; otherwise, it concatenates the arguments by calling the toString() method if needed. It
evaluates from left to right. Hence, the expression in the program results in the string 115110.

Q4. Consider the following program and predict its output:

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String str = null;

 switch (str) { // #1

case "null":

System.out.println("null string"); // #2

break;

a) This program results in a compiler error in statement #1.

b) This program results in a compiler error in statement #2.
c) This program results in throwing a NullPointerException.
d) This program prints the following: null string.

Answer:

c) This program results in throwing a NullPointerException.

Explanation:

If a null value is passed to a switch statement, it results in a NullPointerException.

Q5. What will be the output of the below statements?

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String s1 = null;

System.out.println(s1); //line 2

System.out.println(s1.toString()); //line 3

a) null null
b) null NullPointerException
c) NullPointerException NullPointerException
d) None

Answer:

b) null NullPointerException

Explanation:

Q7. What is the output of the following program?

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String s1 = "hello";

String s2 = new String("hello");

 s2 = s2.intern();

System.out.println(s1 == s2);

a) false
b) true
c) none
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

b) true

Explanation:

We know that the intern() method will return the String object reference from the string pool since we
assign it back to s2 and now both s1 and s2 are having the same reference. It means
that s1 and s2 references point to the same object.

Q8. What will be the output of the below statements?

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String s1 = "abc";

StringBuffer s2 = new StringBuffer(s1);

System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));

a) false
b) true
c) ClassCastException at runtime
d) Compile-time error
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:
a) false

Explanation:

It will print false because s2 is not of type String. If you will look at the equals method implementation in
the String class, you will find a check using instanceof operator to check if the type of passed object is
String? If not, then return false.

Q9. What is the result of the following code?

String s1 = "Java";

String s2 = "Java";

StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder();

sb1.append("Ja").append("va");

System.out.println(s1 == s2);

System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));

System.out.println(sb1.toString() == s1);

System.out.println(sb1.toString().equals(s1));

A. true is printed out exactly once.

B. true is printed out exactly twice.
C. true is printed out exactly three times.
D. true is printed out exactly four times.
E. The code does not compile.
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

C. true is printed out exactly three times.

Explanation:

String literals are used from the string pool. This means that s1 and s2 refer to the same object and are
equal. Therefore, the first two print statements print true. The third print statement prints false
because toString() uses a method to compute the value and it is not from the string pool. The final print
statement again prints true because equals() looks at the values of String objects.

Q10. What is the difference between StringBuilder and StringBuffer in Java?

a) StringBuilder is mutable, while StringBuffer is immutable.

Q12. What is the output of the following code snippet?

String str = "Hello";

str += " World!";

System.out.println(str.length());

a) 5
b) 11
c) 12
d) Compile-time error
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

When "Hello" is concatenated with " World!", it forms a new string "Hello World!". The length of this
string is 12 characters, so the output is 12.

Q13. What is the output of the following code snippet?

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

 String str = "Java";

str.concat(" Programming");

System.out.println(str);

a) Java
b) Java Programming
c) Programming
d) Compile-time error
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

a) Java

Explanation:

The concat() method returns a new string resulting from concatenating the specified string to the
original string. However, in this code, the result of concat() is not assigned back to the str variable.
Therefore, the original string "Java" remains unchanged, and the output is "Java".

Q14. Which of the following methods is used to compare two strings for equality in Java?

a) equals()
b) compareTo()
c) contains()
d) concat()
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

a) equals()

Q 16. What will be the output of the following code?

public class Main{

public static void main(String []args){

String str1 = "Java";

String str2 = "Java";

String str3 = new String("Java");

System.out.println(str1.equals(str2) && str1.equals(str3));

A) true
B) false
C) Compile error
D) Runtime error
Click to View Answer and Explanation

Answer:

The correct answer is A) true.

Explanation:

In this code, str1 and str2 both refer to the same string literal "Java." Therefore, str1.equals(str2) returns
true. The equals() method compares the actual contents of the strings.
