1.2 What should be inserted at line 7 so that the code compiles and guarantees to print -
Apple Cricket Banana in the same order.
1. import java.util.*;
2.
3. public class SetTest
4. {
5. public static void main(String args[])
6. {
7. // what should be inserted here?
8.
9. set.add("Apple");
10. set.add("Cricket");
11. set.add("Banana");

13. Iterator iter = set.iterator();
14. while(iter.hasNext())
15. {
16. System.out.print(iter.next() + " ");
17. }
18. }
19. }
A. Set set = new LinkedHashSet();
B. Set set = new HashSet();
C. Set set = new TreeSet();
D. TreeSet maintains the Set elements sorted according to their natural order; however other sets do not guarantee iteration order of the set. In particular, they do not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.
Answer: A
Note: JDK 1.4 adds a new collection class LinkedHashSet to the collections framework. LinkedHashSet remembers the order in which objects are inserted.
TreeSet maintains its elements in their natural order, hence iterating will produce "Apple Banana Cricket " instead of "Apple Cricket Banana ". Hence option C is incorrect.
HashSet is a basic implementation of Set. It makes no guarantees as to the iteration order of the set;in particular.

1.3 What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code?
public class Test{
int i = 0;
public static void main(String argv[]) {
Test t = new Test();
t.myMethod();
}
public void myMethod(){
while(true) {
try {
wait();
}catch (InterruptedException e) {}
i++;
}
}
}
A. Compile time error, no matching notify within the method.
B. Compile and run but an infinite looping of the while method.
C. Compilation and run without any output.
E. Runtime Exception "IllegalMonitorStatException".
Answer: E
Note: The wait/notify protocol can only be used within code that is synchronized. In this case calling code does not have a lock on the object(not synchronized) and will thus cause an Exception at runtime.

1.4 What will be the result of executing the following main() method?
1. public static void main(String[] args)
2. {
3. String myString;
4. int x = 100;
5.
6. if (x < 100) myString = "x is less than 100";
7. if (x > 100) myString = "x is greater than 100";
8. System.out.println(myString.length());
9. }
A. The code will compile with a warning that variable myString might not have been initialized
B. The code will compile without any warnings
C. The code will not compile. But it will compile and print the length of myString if the variable myString is initialized in an unconditional statement before line 8
D. None of these
Answer: D??
Note: myString may be initiated to be null and then run time error.
**** ==================
1.5 What results from running the code below?
int a = -5; int b = -2;
System.out.println(a % b);
A. 0
B. 1
C. -1
D. A compiler error saying "%" operator is not valid for negative numbers.
Answer: C
Note: To calculate a % b(a modulus b), the simplest way is, drop any negative signs from both the operands and calculate the result. Now if the left-hand side operand is negative negate the result, the sign of right-hand side operand doesn't matter. In our case (-5 % -2) is equal to -(5 % 2) = -(1) = -1, hence C is correct. If the calculate a%b(a=5, b=-2), the result will be 1.

1.11 Which of the following are valid declarations for a native method?
A. public native void aMethod();
B. private native String aMethod();
C. private native boolean aMethod(int val){};
D. public native int aMethod(String test);
E. private native boolean aMethod(boolean flag, Integer val);
Answer: ABDE
Note: The 'native' does not affect the access qualifiers, so a native method can be public or private. It is also valid to return primitives as well as objects from a native method (so returning a String is valid) - it is also valid to pass in objects as well as primitives. Answer C is incorrect, because it attempts to define the actual method, by using '{...}'.

MyClass getMyClass() {
System.out.println(myName);
return null;
}
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
System.out.println( new MyClass().getMyClass().myName );
}
}
A. Compile time error
B. Run time error
C. Prints SCJP twice
D. Prints SCJP once
E. None of the above
Answer: C
Note: compiler sees the return type of getMyClass method as MyClass and calling myName on MyClass is valid at compile time.
Also it doesn't give any runtime error which is not very obvious. Please note that a null reference may be used to access a class (static) variable without causing an exception. The static variable is called on the class itself and not on the object. Had the myName variable non-static, the above code at run time would give NullPointerException.

7.3 If a.equals(b) is true, which of the following statements are always true?
(Assume that the classes of a and b have overridden all the required methods correctly)
A. b.equals(a) is always true
B. a == b is always true
C. a.getClass() == b.getClass() is always true
D. a.hashCode() == b.hashCode() is always true
E. Only option A is correct
Answer: AD
Note: The general contract of hashCode() method of Object class mentions : If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
If you are designing a class that overrides equals method, it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method as well, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
Note that converse of this is not correct. i.e. if a.equals(b) is false, the hash codes returned by them need not be different.

A. The code fails to compile, complaining that the line System.out.println(s1=s2); is illegal.
B. The code fails to compile because the equals() method is not defined for the StringBuffer class.
C. false true true false false
D. false abcd false false false
E. false true false false false
Answer: D
Note: StringBuffer does not override the equals() method, and so will always only compare the object references.

C. The code does not implement equals method correctly
D. The given code does not contain enough information to comment on the correctness of the equals method implementation
E. None of these
Answer: C
Note: The code attempts to provide equals comparison with a String. String is a built in final class in Java. It is inappropriate as well as incorrect to provide an equals comparison with any built in Java class, as it violates "symmetry" requirement mentioned in the general contract of Object's equals method. It says - for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. This is not valid for the above code, because if an object of class BetterString is passed to the equals method of String class, it would result in false;irrespective of its contents.

9.3 Will there be any problem in a multi-threaded context if only local variables are declared in a method?
A. Yes, you need synchronized in the blocks of code which read and write a local variable value.
B. Yes, you need synchronized in the blocks of code which read (but not write) a local variable value
C. Absolutely no
D. None of the above.
Answer: C
Note: In case you have local variables (variables declared in a method), then there is no problem of synchronization in a multi-threaded context. The local variables are accessed from the thread's stack, the instance variables are accessed through object references, and static variables are accessed through class or object references. The local variables in the methods that the thread is executing are separate for different threads. There is no way for one thread to access the local variables of another thread. While objects and their instance variables can be shared between threads in a java program, for that one thread needs to pass the object reference to the other thread. The static variables are automatically shared between all threads in a java program.

A. A is a proper usage
B. B is a proper usage
C. C is a proper usage
D. D is a proper usage
Answer: B??????????
Note: This is a very important concept in assertions. Assertions can be used to test preconditions, postconditions and invariants. Java insists that assertions should not be used for testing the preconditions of the public methods. Instead, preconditions on public methods are enforced by explicit checks inside methods resulting in particular, specified exceptions. This is essential for two reasons-
(1) Exceptions can be explicitly mentioned in the throws cause of the method, and checked exceptions must be caught while invoking the method.
(2) Assertions can be disabled while running the code.
However, postcondition checks are best implemented via assertions, whether or not they are specified in public methods.

9.5 Which of the following can be inserted at line 12 so that the code compiles and prints the odd numbers in the given range?
1. import java.util.ArrayList;
2.
3. public class OddNumbers
4. {
5. public static void main(String args[])
6. {
7. ArrayList oddNumbers = new ArrayList();
8. for(int i=0;i < 10;i++)
9. {
10. if(i%2 == 0)
11. continue;
12. // what should be inserted here?
13. oddNumbers.add(number);
14. System.out.println(number);
15. }
16. }
17. }
A. int number = i;
B. Integer number = new Integer(i);
C. Byte number = new Byte(i);
D. Integer number = Integer.parseInt("" + i);
E. Object number = new Integer(i);

9.6 What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code?
interface MyInterface{
int x = 0;
int myMethod(int x);
}
class MyImplementation implements MyInterface{
public int myMethod(int x){
return super.x;
}
}
public class MyTest{
public static void main(String args[]) {
MyInterface mi = new MyImplementation();
System.out.println(mi.myMethod(10));
}
}
A. 0
B. 10
C. Compilation error
D. None of the above
Answer: The statement "super.x;" inside myMethod() will cause compilation error as the super class of MyImplementation class (Object class) doesn't define variable x. Please note that MyInterface is not the super class of MyImplementation class as referred by super.x.

9.7 What is displayed when the following piece of code is executed?
class Test extends Thread{
public void run(){
System.out.println("1");
yield();
System.out.println("2");
suspend();
System.out.println("3");
resume();
System.out.println("4");
}
public static void main(String []args) {
Test t = new Test();
t.start();
}
}
A. 1 2 3 4
B. 1 2 3
C. 1 2
D. Nothing. This is not a valid way to create and start a thread.
E. 1
Answer: C
Note: The code will run, but the thread suspends itself after displaying "2". Threads cannot un-suspend themselves (since they ARE suspended and therefore not running!).
** =======================
9.8 Consider the following code fragment, and select the correct statements(s).
1. public class Test extends MyBase implements MyInterface
2. {
3. int x = 0;
4.
5. public Test(int inVal) throws Exception
6. {
7. if (inVal != this.x)
8. {
9. throw new Exception("Invalid input");
10. }
11. }
12.
13. public static void main(String args[])
14. {
15. Test t = new Test(4);
16. }
17. }
A. The code fails to compile at line 1. It is not valid to both implement an interface and extend from a parent class simultaneously.
B. The code fails to compile at line 5. It is not valid for constructors to throw exceptions.
C. The code fails to compile at line 9, because this is not valid way to throw an exception.
D. The code fails to compile at line 15. The compiler complains that there is an uncaught exception.
E. The code fails to compile at line 7, because this is not a valid way to reference variable x.
