What is the output for the below code ?
1.         public class A {
2.         int add(int i, int j){
3.                     return i+j;
4.                     }
5.         }
6.         public class B extends A{
7.         public static void main(String argv[]){
8.         short s = 9;
9.         System.out.println(add(s,6));
10.        }
11.        }
Options are
A. Compile fail due to error on line no 2
B. Compile fail due to error on line no 9
C. Compile fail due to error on line no 8
D. 15
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method add(int, int) from the type A. The short s is autoboxed correctly, but the add() method cannot be invoked from a static method because add() method is not static.

Question – 2

What is the output for the below code ?

public class A {
int k;
boolean istrue;
static int p;
public void printValue() {
System.out.print(k);
System.out.print(istrue);
System.out.print(p);
}
}
public class Test{
public static void main(String argv[]){
A a = new A();
a.printValue();
}
}

Options are
A.0 false 0
B.0 true 0
C.0 0 0
D.Compile error – static variable must be initialized before use.
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
Global and static variable need not be initialized before use. Default value of global and static int variable is zero. Default value of boolean variable is false. Remember local variable must be initialized before use.

Question – 3

What is the output for the below code ?
public class Test{
int _$;
int $7;
int do;
public static void main(String argv[]){
Test test = new Test();
test.$7=7;
test.do=9;
System.out.println(test.$7);
System.out.println(test.do);
System.out.println(test._$);
}
}
Options are
A.7 9 0
B.7 0 0
C.Compile error – $7 is not valid identifier.
D.Compile error – do is not valid identifier.
Answer :
D is the correct answer.
$7 is valid identifier. Identifiers must start with a letter, a currency character ($), or underscore ( _ ). Identifiers cannot start with a number. You can’t use a Java keyword as an identifier. do is a Java keyword.

Question – 4

What is the output for the below code ?

package com;
class Animal {
public void printName(){
System.out.println(“Animal”);
}
}

package exam;
import com.Animal;
public class Cat extends Animal {
public void printName(){
System.out.println(“Cat”);
}
}

package exam;
import com.Animal;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
Animal a = new Cat();
a.printName();
}
}

Options are
A.Animal
B.Cat
C.Animal Cat
D.Compile Error
Answer :
D is the correct answer.
Cat class won’t compile because its superclass, Animal, has default access and is in a different package. Only public superclass can be accessible for different package.

Question – 5

What is the output for the below code ?
public class A {
int i = 10;
public void printValue() {
System.out.println(“Value-A”);
}
}

public void printValue() {
System.out.print(“Value-B”);
}
}

public class Test{
public static void main(String argv[]){
A a = new B();
a.printValue();
System.out.println(a.i);
}
}

Options are
A.Value-B 11
B.Value-B 10
C.Value-A 10
D.Value-A 11
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
If you create object of subclass with reference of super class like ( A a = new B();) then subclass method and super class variable will be executed.

Question – 6

What is the output for the below code ?
public enum Test {
BREAKFAST(7, 30), LUNCH(12, 15), DINNER(19, 45);
private int hh;
private int mm;
Test(int hh, int mm) {
assert (hh >= 0 && hh <= 23) : “Illegal hour.”;
assert (mm >= 0 && mm <= 59) : “Illegal mins.”;
this.hh = hh;
this.mm = mm;
}

public int getHour() {
return hh;
}

public int getMins() {
return mm;
}

public static void main(String args[]){
Test t = new BREAKFAST;
System.out.println(t.getHour() +”:”+t.getMins());
}

Question – 7

What is the output for the below code ?

public class A {
static{System.out.println(“static”);}
{ System.out.println(“block”);}
public A(){
System.out.println(“A”);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
A a = new A();
}
Options are
A.A block static
B.static block A
C.static A
D.A
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
First execute static block, then statement block then constructor.
}

Options are
A.7:30
B.Compile Error – an enum cannot be instantiated using the new operator.
C.12:30
D.19:45
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
As an enum cannot be instantiated using the new operator, the constructors cannot be called explicitly. You have to do like Test t = BREAKFAST;

Question – 8

What is the output for the below code ?
1. public class Test {
2. public static void main(String[] args){
3. int i = 010;
4. int j = 07;
5. System.out.println(i);
6. System.out.println(j);
7. }
8. }
Options are
A.8 7
B.10 7
C.Compilation fails with an error at line 3
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 5
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
By placing a zero in front of the number is an integer in octal form. 010 is in octal form .so its value is 8.

Question – 9

What is the output for the below code ?
1. public class Test {
2. public static void main(String[] args){
3. byte b = 6;
4. b+=8;
5. System.out.println(b);
6. b = b+7;
7. System.out.println(b);
8. }
9. }

Options are

A.14 21
B.14 13
C.Compilation fails with an error at line 6
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 4
Answer :
C is the correct answer.
int or smaller expressions always resulting in an int. So compiler complain about Type
mismatch: cannot convert from int to byte for b = b+7; But b += 7; // No problem
because +=, -=, *=, and /= will all put in an implicit cast. b += 7 is same as b = (byte)b+7
so compiler not complain.

Question – 10

What is the output for the below code ?
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
String value = “abc”;
changeValue(value);
System.out.println(value);
}
public static void changeValue(String a){
a = “xyz”;
}
}

Options are

A.abc
B.xyz
C.Compilation fails
D.Compilation clean but no output
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
Java pass reference as value. passing the object reference, and not the actual object itself.
Simply reassigning to the parameter used to pass the value into the method will do
nothing, because the parameter is essentially a local variable.

Question – 11

What is the output for the below code ?
public class Test {
public static void printValue(int i, int j, int k){
System.out.println(“int”);
}
public static void printValue(byte…b){
System.out.println(“long”);
}
public static void main(String… args) {
byte b = 9;
printValue(b,b,b);
}
}
Options are
A.long
B.int
C.Compilation fails
D.Compilation clean but throws RuntimeException
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
Primitive widening uses the smallest method argument possible. (For Example if you pass short value to a method but method with short argument is not available then compiler choose method with int argument). But in this case compiler will prefer the older style before it chooses the newer style, to keep existing code more robust. var-args method is looser than widen.

Question – 12

You have a java file name Test.java inside src folder of javaproject
directory. You have also classes folder inside javaproject directory.
you have issued below command from command prompt.
cd javaproject

Which of the below command puts Test.class file inside classes folder ?

if(i < j)
assert i!=j : i;

Options are

A.The class compiles and runs, but does not print anything.
B.The number 2 gets printed with AssertionError
C.compile error
D.The number 3 gets printed with AssertionError
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
When if condition returns true, the assert statement also returns true. Hence AssertionError does not get generated.

Question – 17

What happens when the following code is compiled and run.
Select the one correct answer.
for(int i = 2; i < 4; i++)
for(int j = 2; j < 4; j++)

A.A a = new B();
B.A a = new B(5);
C.A a = new A(String s);
D.All of the above
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
A a = new B(); is correct because anonymous inner classes are no different from any other class when it comes to polymorphism.

Question – 20

What is the output for the below code ?

interface A {
public void printValue();
}
1. public class Test{
2. public static void main (String[] args){
3. A a1 = new A() {
4. public void printValue(){
5. System.out.println(“A”);
6. }
7. };
8. a1.printValue();
9. }
10. }

Options are

A.Compilation fails due to an error on line 3
B.A
C.Compilation fails due to an error on line 8
D.null
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
The A a1 reference variable refers not to an instance of interface A, but to an instance of an anonymous (unnamed) class. So no compilation error.

B.Value-A Value-A
C.Value-A Name-C
D.Name-B Name-C
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
Class B extended Class A therefore all methods of Class A will be available to class B  except private methods. Class C extended Class A therefore all methods of Class A will be available to class C except private methods.

Question – 23

What is the output for the below code ?

public class A {
public void printName(){
System.out.println(“Value-A”);
}
}
public class B extends A{
public void printName(){
System.out.println(“Name-B”);
}
}

10. }
11. }
Options are
A.Name-B
B.Name-C
C.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 5
D.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 9
Answer :
C is the correct answer.
Reference variable can refer to any object of the same type as the declared reference OR can refer to any subtype of the declared type. Reference variable “b” is type of class B and reference variable “c” is a type of class C. So Compilation fails.

Question – 24

What is the output for the below code ?

public class C {
}
public class D extends C{
}
public class A {
public C getOBJ(){
System.out.println(“class A – return C”);
return new C();
}
}
public class B extends A{
public D getOBJ(){
System.out.println(“class B – return D”);
return new D();
}
}
public class Test {
public static void main(String… args) {
A a = new B();
a.getOBJ();
}
}
Options are
A.class A – return C
B.class B – return D
C.Compilation fails
D.Compilation succeed but no output
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
From J2SE 5.0 onwards. return type in the overriding method can be same or subtype of the declared return type of the overridden (superclass) method.

Question – 25

What is the output for the below code ?

public class A {
private void printName(){
System.out.println(“Value-A”);
}
}
public class B extends A{
public void printName(){
System.out.println(“Name-B”);
}
}
public class Test{
public static void main (String[] args) {
B b = new B();
b.printName();
}
}

Options are

A.Value-A
B.Name-B
C.Value-A Name-B
D.Compilation fails – private methods can’t be override
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
You can not override private method , private method is not availabe in subclass . In this
case printName() method a class A is not overriding by printName() method of class B.
printName() method of class B different method. So you can call printName() method of class B.

Question – 26

What is the output for the below code ?

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class A {
public void printName() throws FileNotFoundException {
System.out.println(“Value-A”);
}
}
public class B extends A{
public void printName() throws NullPointerException{
System.out.println(“Name-B”);
}
}
public class Test{
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{
A a = new B();
a.printName();
}
}

Options are

A.Value-A
B.Compilation fails-Exception NullPointerException is not compatible with throws
clause in A.printName()
C.Name-B
D.Compilation succeed but no output
Answer :
C is the correct answer.
The overriding method can throw any unchecked (runtime) exception, regardless of exception thrown by overridden method. NullPointerException is RuntimeException so compiler not complain.

Question – 27

What is the output for the below code ?
public class A {
public A(){
System.out.println(“A”);
}
public A(int i){
this();
System.out.println(i);

public static void main (String[] args){
new B(5);
}
}

Options are

A.A B 8
B.A 5 B 8
C.A B 5
D.B 8 A 5
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
Constructor of class B call their superclass constructor of class A (public A()) , which execute first, and that constructors can be overloaded. Then come to constructor of class B (public B (int i)).

Question – 28

What is the output for the below code ?

1. public interface InfA {
2. protected String getName();
3. }
public class Test implements InfA{
public String getName(){
return “test-name”;
}
public static void main (String[] args){
Test t = new Test();
System.out.println(t.getName());
}
}

Options are

A.test-name
B.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 2
C.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 1
D.Compilation succeed but Runtime Exception
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
Illegal modifier for the interface method InfA.getName(); only public and abstract are Permitted

Question – 29

What is the output for the below code ?

public class D {
int i;
int j;
public D(int i,int j){
this.i=i;
this.j=j;
}
public void printName() {
System.out.println(“Name-D”);
}
}
1. public class Test{
2. public static void main (String[] args){
3. D d = new D();
4. d.printName();
5.
6. }
7. }
Options are
A.Name-D
B.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 3
C.Compilation fails due to an error on lines 4
D.Compilation succeed but no output
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
Since there is already a constructor in this class (public D(int i,int j)), the compiler won’t supply a default constructor. If you want a no-argument constructor to overload the with arguments version you already have, you have to define it by yourself. The constructor D() is undefined in class D. If you define explicit constructor then default constructor will not be available. You have to define explicitly like public D(){ } then the above code will work. If no constructor into your class , a default constructor will be automatically generated by the compiler.

Question – 30

public class A {
public void test1(){
System.out.println(“test1″);
}
}
public class B extends A{
public void test2(){
System.out.println(“test2″);
}
}
1. public class Test{
2. public static void main (String[] args){
3. A a = new A();
4. A b = new B();
5. B b1 = new B();
6. // insert code here
7. }
8. }
Which of the following , inserted at line 6, will compile and print
test2?

Options are

A.((B)b).test2();
B.(B)b.test2();
C.b.test2();
D.a.test2();
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
((B)b).test2(); is proper cast. test2() method is in class B so need to cast b then only test2() is accessible. (B)b.test2(); is not proper cast without the second set of parentheses,the compiler thinks it is an incomplete statement.

Question – 31

What is the output for the below code ?

1. public class Test {
2. public static void main(String… args) {
3. int x =5;
4. x *= 3 + 7;
5. System.out.println(x);
6. }
7. }
Options are
A.22
B.50
C.10
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 4
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
x *= 3 + 7; is same as x = x * (3 +7) = 5 * (10) = 50 because expression on the right is always placed inside parentheses.

Question – 32

What is the output for the below code ?

1. public class Test {
2. enum Month { JAN, FEB, MAR };
3. public static void main(String… args) {
4. Month m1 = Month.JAN;
5. Month m2 = Month.JAN;
6. Month m3 = Month.FEB;
7. System.out.println(m1 == m2);
8. System.out.println(m1.equals(m2));
9. System.out.println(m1 == m3);
10. System.out.println(m1.equals(m3));
11. }
12. }

Options are

A.true true true false
B.true true false false
C.false false true true
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 10
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
m1 and m2 refer to the same enum constant So m1 == m2 returns true BUT m1 and m3 refer to different enum constant So m1 == m3 returns false. m1.equals(m2) returns true because enum constant value is same (JAN and JAN). m1.equals(m3) return false because enum constants values are different (JAN and FEB).

Question – 33

What is the output for the below code ?

1. public class Test {
2. public static void main(String… args) {
3. int [] index = new int[5];
4. System.out.println(index instanceof Object);
5. }
6. }

Options are

A.true
B.false
C.Compilation fails with an error at line 3
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 4
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
An array is always an instance of Object

public class Test {
public static void main(String… args) {
int a =5 , b=6, c =7;
System.out.println(“Value is “+ b +c);
System.out.println(a + b +c);
System.out.println(“String “+(b+c));
}
}

Options are

A.Value is 67 18 String 13
B.Value is 13 18 String 13
C.Value is 13 18 String
D.Compilation fails
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
If the left hand operand is not a String then + operator treat as plus BUT if left hand operand is a String then + perform String concatenation.

Question – 35

What is the output for the below code?

public class A {
public A() {
System.out.println(“A”);
}
}
public class B extends A implements Serializable {
public B() {
System.out.println(“B”);
}
}
public class Test {
public static void main(String… args) throws Exception {
B b = new B();
ObjectOutputStream save = new ObjectOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(“datafile”));
save.writeObject(b);
save.flush();
ObjectInputStream restore = new ObjectInputStream(new
FileInputStream(“datafile”));
B z = (B) restore.readObject();
}
}
Options are
A.A B A
B.A B A B
C.B B
D.B
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
On the time of deserialization , the Serializable object not create new object. So constructor of class B does not called. A is not Serializable object so constructor is called.

Question – 36

What is the output for the below code?
public class A {
public A() {
System.out.println(“A”);
}
}
public class Test {
public static void main(String… args) throws Exception {

ObjectOutputStream save = new ObjectOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(“datafile”));
save.writeObject(a);
save.flush();
ObjectInputStream restore = new ObjectInputStream(new
FileInputStream(“datafile”));
A z = (A) restore.readObject();
}
}
Options are
A.A A
B.A
C.java.io.NotSerializableException
D.None of the above
Answer :
C is the correct answer.

B.print : printName then print : printValue
C.print : printName then wait for 5 minutes then print : printValue
D.Compilation succeed but Runtime Exception
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
There is only one lock per object, if one thread has picked up the lock, no other thread can pick up the lock until the first thread releases the lock. printName() method acquire the lock for 5 seconds, So other threads can not access the object. If one synchronized method of an instance is executing then other synchronized method of the same instance should wait.

Question – 44

What is the output for the below code ?

public class B {
public static synchronized void printName(){
try{
System.out.println(“printName”);
Thread.sleep(5*1000);

System.out.println(“printValue”);
}
}
public class Test extends Thread{
B b = new B();
public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception{
Test t = new Test();
Thread t1 = new Thread(t,”t1″);
Thread t2 = new Thread(t,”t2″);
t1.start();
t2.start();
}
public void run(){
if(Thread.currentThread().getName().equals(“t1″)){
b.printName();
}else{
b.printValue();
}
}
}

Options are

A.print : printName , then wait for 5 seconds then print : printValue
B.print : printName then print : printValue
C.print : printName then wait for 5 minutes then print : printValue
D.Compilation succeed but Runtime Exception
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
There is only one lock per object, if one thread has picked up the lock, no other thread can pick up the lock until the first thread releases the lock. In this case printName() is static , So lock is in class B not instance b, both method (one static and other no-static) can run simultaneously. A static synchronized method and a non static synchronized method will not block each other.

Question – 45

What is the output for the below code ?

class A extends Thread{
int count = 0;
public void run(){
System.out.println(“run”);
synchronized (this) {
for(int i =0; i < 50 ; i++){
count = count + i;
}
notify();
}
}
}
public class Test{
public static void main(String argv[]) {
A a = new A();
a.start();
synchronized (a) {
System.out.println(“waiting”);
try{
a.wait();
}catch(InterruptedException e){
}
System.out.println(a.count);
}
}
}
Options are
A.waiting run 1225
B.waiting run 0
C.waiting run and count can be anything
D.Compilation fails
Answer :
A is the correct answer.
a.wait(); put thread on wait until not get notifed. A thread gets on this waiting list by executing the wait() method of the target object. It doesn’t execute any further instructions until the notify() method of the target object is called. A thread to call wait() or notify(), the thread has to be the owner of the lock for that object.

Question – 46

public static void main(String… args) {
Queue q = new LinkedList();
q.add(“newyork”);
q.add(“ca”);
q.add(“texas”);
show(q);
}
public static void show(Queue q) {
q.add(new Integer(11));
while (!q.isEmpty ( ) )
System.out.print(q.poll() + ” “);
}
}
Options are
A.Compile error : Integer can’t add
B.newyork ca texas 11
C.newyork ca texas
D.None of the above
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
” q was originally declared as Queue<String>, But in show() method it is passed as an untyped Queue. nothing in the compiler or JVM prevents us from adding an Integer after that. If the show method signature is public static void show(Queue<String> q) than you can’t add Integer, Only String allowed. But public static void show(Queue q) is untyped Queue so you can add Integer.Y poll() Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, or returns null if this queue is empty.

Question – 49

System.out.print(itr.next() + ” “);
}
}
Options are
A.Compile error
B.Runtime Exception
C.7 9
D.None of the above
Answer :
B is the correct answer.
| Without generics, the compiler does not know what type is appropriate for this TreeSet, so it allows everything to compile. But at runtime he TreeSet will try to sort the elements as they are added, and when it tries to compare an Integer with a String it will throw a ClassCastException.
? Exception in thread “main” java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be
cast to java.lang.Integer.
