Question 1
What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code? (Assume that the code is compiled and run with assertions enabled.)
public class AssertTest
{
public void methodA(int i)
{
assert i >= 0 : methodB();
System.out.println(i);
}
public void methodB()
{
System.out.println("The value must not be negative");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
AssertTest test = new AssertTest();
test.methodA(-10);
}
}
It will print -10
It will result in Assertion Error showing the message -"The value must not be negative".
The code will not compile.
None of these

x--; myMethod();
System.out.println(x + y + ++x);
}

public static void myMethod()

{
return this.x + x + y + this.y;
}
public int addMe(MyParent myPar)
{
return addMe(myPar.x, myPar.y);
}
}
class MyChild extends MyParent
{
in z;
MyChild (int x, int y, int z)
{
super(x,y);
this.z = z;
}
public int addMe(int x, int y, int z)
{
return this.x + x + this.y + y + this.z + z;
}
public int addMe(MyChild myChi)
{
return addMe(myChi.x, myChi.y, myChi.z);
}
public int addMe(int x, int y)
{
return this.x + x + this.y + y;
}
}
public class MySomeOne
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
MyChild myChi = new MyChild(10, 20, 30);
MyParent myPar = new MyParent(10, 20);
int x = myChi.addMe(10, 20, 30);
int y = myChi.addMe(myChi);
int z = myPar.addMe(myPar);
System.out.println(x + y + z);
}
}
300 240

1. boolean a = true;
2. boolean b = false;
3. boolean c = true;
4. if (a == true)
5. if (b == true)
6. if (c == true) System.out.println("Some things are true in this world");
7. else System.out.println("Nothing is true in this world!");
8. else if (a && (b = c)) System.out.println("It's too confusing to tell what is true and what is false");
9. else System.out.println("Hey this won't compile");
The code won't compile

}
else
{
System.out.println("I am false interface");
}
if(s instanceof String)
{
System.out.println("I am true String");
}
else
{

Prints : "I am false interface" followed by " I am true String"

Question 8

What results from attempting to compile and run the following code?

public class Ternary

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

int a = 5;

System.out.println("Value is - " + ((a < 5) ? 9.9 : 9));

}

}

Prints: Value is - 9
Prints: Value is - 5
Compilation error
None of these

Question 9

In the following pieces of code, A and D will compile without any error. True/False?

A: StringBuffer sb1 = "abcd";

B: Boolean b = new Boolean("abcd");

C: byte b = 255;

D: int x = 0x1234;

E: float fl = 1.2;

Question 10

Considering the following code, which variables may be referenced correctly at line 12?

public class Outer

{

public int a = 1;

private int b = 2;

public void method(final int c)

{

int d = 3;

{

}

}

}

}

a b
c d
e
Question 11

What will be the result of executing the following code?

switch (digit)

{

case 'x' :

{

int j = 0;

System.out.println(j);

}

default :

{

int j = 100;

System.out.println(j);

}

}

}

int i = j;

System.out.println(i);

}

100 will be printed 11 times. 100 will be printed 10 times and then there will be a runtime exception.
The code will not compile because the variable i cannot be declared twice within the main() method. The code will not compile because the variable j cannot be declared twice within the switch statement.
None of these.

Question 12

}

Prints : MyThread: start() followed by MyRunnable:run() Prints : MyThread: run() followed by MyRunnable:start()
Prints : MyThread: start() followed by MyRunnable:start() Prints : MyThread: run() followed by MyRunnable:run()
Compile time error None of the above

Question 14

What will be the result of executing the following code?

// Filename; SuperclassX.java

package packageX;

public class SuperclassX

{

protected void superclassMethodX()

{

}

int superclassVarX;

}

// Filename SubclassY.java

1. package packageX.packageY;

2.

3. public class SubclassY extends SuperclassX

4. {

5. SuperclassX objX = new SubclassY();

6. SubclassY objY = new SubclassY();

7. void subclassMethodY()

8. {

9. objY.superclassMethodX();

10. int i;

11. i = objY.superclassVarX;

12. }

13. }

Compilation error at line 5 Compilation error at line 9
Runtime exception at line 11 None of these

Question 15

Consider the class hierarchy shown below: --------------------------------------------------------------------

class FourWheeler implements DrivingUtilities

class Car extends FourWheeler

class Truck extends FourWheeler

class Bus extends FourWheeler

class Crane extends FourWheeler

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider the following code below:

1. DrivingUtilities du;

2. FourWheeler fw;

3. Truck myTruck = new Truck();

4. du = (DrivingUtilities)myTruck;

5. fw = new Crane();

6. fw = du;

Which of the statements below are true?

Line 4 will not compile because an interface cannot refer to an object. The code will compile and run.
The code will not compile without an explicit cast at line 6, because going down the hierarchy without casting is not allowed. The code at line 4 will compile even without the explicit cast.
The code will compile if we put an explicit cast at line 6 but will throw an exception at runtime.
Question 16

What results from the following code?

1. class MyClass

2. {

3. void myMethod(int i) {System.out.println("int version");}

4. void myMethod(String s) {System.out.println("String version");}

5. public static void main(String args[])

6. {

7. MyClass obj = new MyClass();

8. char ch = 'c';

9. obj.myMethod(ch);

10. }

11. }

Line 4 will not compile as void methods can't be overridden.
An exception at line 9
Line 9 will not compile as there is no version of myMethod, which takes a char as argument.
The code compiles and produces output: int version.
The code compiles and produces output: String version
Question 17

What is the result when you compile and run the following code?

public class ThrowsDemo

{

static void throwMethod()

{

System.out.println("Inside throwMethod.");

public static void main(String args[])

{

try

{

throwMethod();

}

catch (IllegalAccessException e)

{

System.out.println("Caught " + e);

System.out.print("Y");

}

}

public class Z extends X

{

Y y = new Y();

Z()

{

System.out.print("Z");

}

public static void main(String[] args)

{

new Z();

}

}

Z
YZ
XYZ
YXYZ

Question 19

What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code snippet?

Boolean b = new Boolean("TRUE");

if(b.booleanValue())

{

System.out.println("Yes : " + b);

}

else

{

}

The code will not compile.
It will print - Yes : true

}

}

0122
0123
Compilation error
None of these

Question 21

What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code?

int Output = 10;

boolean b1 = false;

if((b1 == true) && ((Output += 10) == 20))

{

System.out.println("We are equal " + Output);

}

else

{

System.out.println("Not equal! " + Output);

}

Compilation error, attempting to perform binary comparison on logical data type.
Compilation and output of "We are equal 10".
Compilation and output of "Not equal! 20".
Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10".
Question 22

What will be the result of executing the following code?

Given that Test1 is a class.

1. Test1[] t1 = new Test1[10];

3. if (t1[0] == null)

4. {

5. t2[0] = new Test1[10]

6. t2[1] = new Test1[10]

7. t2[2] = new Test1[10]

8. t2[3] = new Test1[10]

9. t2[4] = new Test1[10]

10. }

11. System.out.println(t1[0]);

12. System.out.println(t2[1][0]);

The code will not compile because the array t2 is not initialized in an unconditional statement before use.
The code will compile but a runtime exception will be thrown at line 12.
The code will compile but a runtime exception will be thrown at line 11.
None of these.

{

Base b = new Derived();

System.out.println(b.i);

b.amethod();

}

public void amethod()

new Thread(t).start();

for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)

System.out.print(t.myString);

}

}

Compilation Error
Prints : Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes and so on.

System.out.println(myName);

}

}

public static void main(String args[])

{

try

{

MyThread mt1 = new MyThread("mt1");

MyThread mt2 = new MyThread("mt2");

mt1.start();

// XXX

mt2.start();

}

catch(InterruptedException ex)

{

}

}

}

The above code in its current condition will not compile.
In order to make the MyThread class prints "mt1" (100 times) followed by "mt2" (100 times), mt1.join(); can be placed at //XXX position.
In order to make the MyThread class prints "mt1" (100 times) followed by "mt2" (100 times), mt1.sleep(100); can be placed at //XXX position.
In order to make the MyThread class prints "mt1" (100 times) followed by "mt2" (100 times), mt1.run(); can be placed at //XXX position.
