Answer 5:

A) catch ( InterruptedException ie) {}
B) catch ( IllegalArgumentException il ) {}
C) catch ( IllegalMonitorStateException im ) {}

Explanation:
The wait() method of an Object class throws InterruptedException when the thread moving from running state to wait state. If the value of timeout is negative or the value of nanos is not in the range 0-999999 then wait() method throws IllegalArgumentException exception at runtime. If the current thread is not the owner of this object's monitor then it throws IllegalMonitorStateException exception. Click here for more information from Java Documentation.

Answer 9:

A) int 100
C) aString
E) Boolean

Explanation:
The byte, strictfp are Java keywords and cannot be defined as identifiers, the a-Big-Integer has "-" which is not a valid identifier. The identifiers must starts with letters, $, or _ ( underscore), subsequent characters may be letters, dollar signs, underscores or digits,  any other combination will gives you the compiler error.

Back to Question 9:
 

Answer 10:

B) x = b ? y : z ;

Explanation
If  b is true the value of x is y, else the value is z. This is "ternary" operator provides the way to simple conditions into a single expression. If the b is true, the left of ( : ) is assigned to x else right of the ( : ) is assigned to x. Both  side of the ( : ) must have the data type.

Answer 11:

A) int a [][] = new int [20][20];
B) int [] a [] = new int [20][];
C) int [][] a = new int [10][];

Explanation:
Multidimensional arrays in Java are just arrays within arrays. Multidimensional arrays are defined as rows and columns. The outer array must be initialized. If you look at the answers the outer arrays are initialized.

Back to Question 11:
 

Answer 12:

B) Compiler error , you cannot assign a value to  final variable

Explanation:
In Java final variables are treated as constants ( comparing to other languages like Visual Basic and etc.) ,  once it is initialized you cannot change the values of primitive, if final variables are object references then you cannot assign any other references.

Back to Question 12:
 

Answer 13:

B) Contains any number of non-public classes and only one public class
E) Package statements should appear only in the first line or before any import statements of source file 

Explanation:
The source files always contains only one package statement, you cannot define multiple package statements and these statements must be before the import statements. At any point of time Java source files can have any number of non-public class definitions and only one public definition class. If you have any import statements those should be defined before class definition and after the package definition.

Back to Question 13:
 

Answer 14:

D) a = 1, b = -1

Explanation:
The operator >>> is unsigned right shift, the new bits are set to zero, so the -1 is shifted 31 times and became 1 ( because a is defined as integer ). The operator >> is signed right shift operator, the new bits take the value of the MSB ( Most Significant Bit ) . The operator << will behave like same as >>> operator. The sifting operation is applicable to only integer data types.

Back to Question 14:
 

Answer 15:

D) 4

Explanation:
The operator is bitwise XOR operator. The values of a, b, c are first converted to binary equivalents and calculated using ^ operator and the results are converted back to original format.

Answer 16:

C) Test() method declaration

Explanation:
The abstract methods cannot have body. In any class if one method is defined as abstract the class should be defined as abstract class. So in our example the Test() method must be redefined.

Back to Question 16:
 

Answer 17:

D) B b = new C(); // Line 4

Explanation:
According to the inheritance rules, a parent class references can appear to the child class objects in the inheritance chain from top to bottom. But in our example class B, and class C are in the same level of hierarchy and also these two classes does not have parent and child relationship which violates the inheritance rules. 

Back to Question 17:
 

Answer 18:

A) s == s1
B) s.equals(s1);

Explanation:
The string objects can be compared for equality using == or the equals() method ( even though these two have different meaning ). In our example the string objects have same wording but both are different in case. So the string object object comparison is case sensitive.

Back to Question 18:
 

Answer 19:

A) It is a blue print 
B) A new data type
D) To provide multiple inheritance

Explanation:
One of the major fundamental change in Java comparing with C++ is interfaces. In Java the interfaces will provide multiple inheritance functionality. In Java always a class can be derived from only one parent, but in C++ a class can derive from multiple parents.

Explanation
In a given Java source file, the package statement should be defined before all the import statement or the first line in the .java file provided if you do not have any comments or JavacDoc definitions. The sequence of definitions are: 

// Comments ( if any)
Package definition
Multiple imports
Class definition

Back to Question 22:
 

Answer 23:

D) Compile time error

Explanation:
In Java the constructors can throw exceptions. If parent class default constructor is throwing an exception, the derived class default constructor should handle the exception thrown by the parent.

Back to Question 23:
 

Answer 24:

A) Executing class A constructor followed by Executing class B constructor

Explanation:
In Java the constructors can throw exceptions. According to the Java language exceptions, if any piece of code throwing an exception it is callers worry is to handle the exceptions thrown by the piece of code. If parent class default constructor is throwing an exception, the derived class default constructor should handle the exception thrown by the parent. But in our example the non default constructor is throwing an exception if some one calls that constructor they have to handle the exception.

Back to Question 24:
 

Answer 25:

C) Compile time error while multiplication

Explanation:
This does not compile because according to the arithmetic promotion rules, the *  ( multiplication ) represents binary operator. There are four rules apply for binary operators. If one operand is float,double,long then other operand is converted to float,double,long else the both operands are converted to int data type. So in our example we are trying put integer into byte which is illegal. 

Back to Question 25:
 

Answer 26:

A) setBounds(), setVisible(), setFont()
B) add(), remove()
C) setEnabled(), setVisible()

Explanation:
The component class is the parent class of all AWT components like Button, List, Label and etc. Using these methods you can set the properties of components. The add(), remove() methods are used to add PopMenu and to remove MenuComponent.

Back to Question 26:
 

Answer 27:

C) Frame

Explanation:
Java supports two kinds of menus, pull-down and pop-up menus. Pull-down menus are accessed are accessed via a menu bar. Menu bars are only added to Frames.

Back to Question 27:
 

Answer 28:

A) Frame's default layout manager is BorderLayout
D) Canvas has no default behavior or appearance

Explanation:
In Java AWT each container has it's own default layout manager implemented as part of implementation. For example Frame has default layout manager is BorderLayout , Applet has FlowLayout and etc. The Canvas is kind of component where you can draw custom drawings. The Canvas generates Mouse, MouseMotion, and Key events .

Answer 30:

A) java.awt.TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE
C) java.awt.TextField generates Key events and Action events
D) java.awt.TextArea can be scrolled using  the  <-- and --> keys.

Explanation:
The TextArea and TextField are the subclasses of TextComponent class. The TextArea has static fields to give you the functionality of horizontal and vertical scroll bars. These are the following fields:
java.awt.TextArea.SCROLLBARS_BOTH
java.awt.TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE
java.awt.TextArea.SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY
java.awt.TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY
The TextArea and TextField will generate Key events and TextField will generate Action events apart from the Key events.

Back to Question 30:
 

Answer 31:

A) Compile time error

Explanation:
In Java there are two types of methods , static and non static methods. Static methods are belong to class and non static methods are belongs to instances. So from a non static method you can call static as well as static methods, but from a static method you cannot call non static methods ( unless create a instance of a class ) but you can call static methods.

Back to Question 31:
 

Answer 32:

C) At instantiation  of FileReader object.

Explanation:
While constructing the FileReader object, if the file is not found in the file system the "FileNotFoundException" is thrown. If the input stream is closed before reading the stream throws IOException.

Back to Question 32:
 

Answer 33:

C) While writing to the stream f.write(buffer[i]) throws an IOException

Explanation:
While writing to a IO stream if the stream is closed before writing  throws an IOException. In our example the f ( stream ) is closed via f1 reference variable before writing to it. 

Back to Question 33:
 

Answer 34:

D) While constructing the FileWriter f2 = new FileWriter("MyFile2.txt");

Explanation:
Constructing the FileWriter object, if the file already exists it overrides it (unless explicitly specified to append to the file). FileWriter will create the file before opening it for output when you create the object. In the case of read-only files, if you try to open and IOException will be thrown.

Back to Question 34:
 

Answer 35:

A) A File class can be used to create files and directories
B) A File class has a method mkdir() to create directories
C) A File class has a method mkdirs() to create directory and its parent directories.

Explanation:
The File class has three methods to create empty files, those are createNewFile(), createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix) and createTempFile(String prefix, String suffix, File directory).
File class has two utility methods mkdir() and mkdirs() to create directories. The mkdir() method creates the directory and returns either true or false. Returning false indicates that either directory already exists or directory cannot be created because the entire path does not exists. In the situation when the path does not exists use the mkdirs() method to create directory as well as parent directories as necessary.

Back to Question 35:
 

Answer 36:

A) True

Explanation: 
File class can be used to navigate the directories in the underlying file system. But in the File class there is no way you change the directory . Constructing the File class instance will always point to only one particular directory. To go to another directory you may have to create another instance of a File class.

Back to Question 36:
 

Answer 37:

A) FileOutputStream(FileDescriptor fd)
B) FileOutputStream(String fileName, boolean append)

Explanation:
The valid FileOutputStream constructors are:

C) new Font ( "Serif", Font.PLAIN, 24);
D) new Font ( "SanSerif", Font.ITALIC, 24);
E) new Font ( "SanSerif", Font.BOLD+Font.ITALIC, 24);

Explanation:
The Font class gives you to set the font of a graphics context. While constructing the Font object you pass font name, style, and size of the font. The font availability is dependent on platform. The Font class has three types of font names called " Serif", "SanSerif", Monospaced" these are called in JDK 1.1 and after "Times Roman", Helavatica" and "Courier".

Answer 40:

A) public void init() {
            Image i = getImage ( getDocumentBase(), "Logo.jpeg");
     }

Explanation: 
The Applet and Toolkit classes has a method getImage() , which has two forms:

• getImage(URL file)
• getImage(URL dir, String file)

These are two ways to refer an image in the server . The Applet class getDocumentBase() methods returns the URL object which is your url to the server where you came from or where your image resides. 

Back to Question 40:
 

Answer 41:

D) Object, Check, ICheck

Explanation:
The instanceof operator checks the class of an object at runtime. In our example o refers to Object class and Check and ICheck refers to the subclasses of Object class. Due to the inheritance hierarchy Check and ICheck returns true. 

Back to Question 41:
 

Answer 42:

E) None of the above

Explanation:
There is no way to call a particular thread from a waiting pool. The methods notify() will calls thread from waiting pool, but there is no guaranty which thread is invoked. The method notifyAll() method puts all the waiting threads from the waiting pool in ready state. 

Back to Question 42:
 

Answer 43:

A) You can synchronize entire method
C) Block of code can be synchronized
D) The notify() and notifyAll() methods are called only within a synchronized code

Explanation:
The keyword controls accessing the single resource from multiple threads at the same time. A method or a piece of code can be synchronized, but there is no way to synchronize a calls. To synchronize a method use synchronized keyword before method definition. To synchronize block of code use the synchronized keyword and the arbitrary instance.

Answer 45:

D) Frame does not visible

Explanation:
The Frame is not going to be visible unless you call setVisible(true) method on the Frame's instance. But the frame instance is available in computers memory. If do not set the size of the Frame you see default size of the frame ( i.e.. in minimized mode)

Back to Question 45:
 

Answer 46:

C) public abstract void Test();
D) native void doSomthing( int i );

Explanation:
The abstract methods does not have method bodies. In any  given class if one method is defined as abstract the class must defined as abstract class. 

Back to Question 46:
 

Answer 47:

A) toString() method is defined in Object class.
C) wait(), notify(), notifyAll() methods are defined in Object class and used for Thread communication.
D) toString() method provides string representation of an Object state.

Explanation:
The toString() is defined in Object class the parent all classes which will gives you the string representation of the object's state. This more useful for debugging purpose. The wait(), notify(), notifyAll() methods are also defined in Object class are very helpful for Thread communication. These methods are called only in synchronized methods.

Back to Question 47:
 

Answer 48:

A) public transient int val;
D) synchronized ( this ) { 
        // Assume that "this" is  an arbitrary object instance.
     }

Explanation:
To define transient variables just include "transient" keyword in the variable definition. The transient variables are not written out any where, this is the way when you do object serialization not to write the critical data to a disk or to a database.

The "synchronized" keyword controls the single resource not to access by multiple threads at the same time. The synchronized keyword can be applied to a method or to a block of code by passing the arbitrary object instance name as an argument.

Back to Question 48:
 

Answer 49:

A) Double
C) Integer
D) Byte

Explanation: 
In Java all the primitive data types has wrapper classes to represent in object format and will throw "NumberFormatException". The Boolean does not throw "NumberFormatException" because while constructing the wrapper class for Boolean which accepts string also as an argument.

Back to Question 49:
 

Answer 50:

A) Math.abs(3.0) returns    3.0
      Math.abs(-3.4) returns  3.4

B) Math.ceil(3.4) returns     4.0
     Math.ceil(-3.4) returns   -3.0 

C) Math.floor(3.4) returns    3.0
     Math.floor(-3.4) returns   -4.0 

D) Math.round(3.4) returns   3
     Math.round(-3.4) returns  -3

Explanation:
The Math class abs() method returns the absolute values, for negative values it just trips off the negation and returns positive absolute value. This method returns always double value.

The method ceil(), returns double value not less than the integer ( in our case 3 ). The other ways to say this method returns max integer value . ( All the decimals are rounded to 1 and is added to integer value ). For negative values it behaves exactly opposite.

The method floor() is exactly reverse process of  what ceil() method does.

The round() method just rounds to closest integer value.

Back to Question 50:
 

Answer 51:

A) OuterClass.InnerClass inner = new OuterClass().new InnerClass();

Explanation:
The static methods are class level methods to execute those you do not need a class instance. If you try to execute any non static method or variables from static methods you need to have instance of a class. In our example we need to have OuterClass reference to execute InnerClass method.

Back to Question 51:
 

Answer 52:

C) By making s1 as final variable

Explanation:
In Java it is possible to declare a class inside a method. If you do this there are certain rules will be applied to access the variables of enclosing class and enclosing methods. The classes defined inside any method can access only final variables of enclosing class.

Back to Question 52:
 

Answer 53:

C) This is convention adopted by Sun , to insure that there is no ambiguity between packages and inner classes.

Explanation:
This is convention adopted to distinguish between packages and inner classes. If you try to use Class.forName() method the call will fail instead use getCLass().getName() on an instance of inner class.

Back to Question 53:

The event listeners are instance of the class that implements listener interface . An event source is an instance of class like Button or TextField that can register listener objects and sends notifications whenever event occurs.

Back to Question 58:
 

Answer 59:

B) As a Queue
D) As a Stack 

Explanation:
This implements java.util.List interface and uses linked list for storage. A linked list allows elements to be added, removed from the collection at any location in the container by ordering the elements. With this implementation you can only access the elements in sequentially.You can easily treat the LinkedList as a stack, queue and etc., by using the LinkedList methods.
