C. intdayhigh = new[24, 23, 24, 25, 25, 23, 21];
D. int[] dayhigh = { 24, 23, 24, 25, 25, 23, 21 };
E. intdayhigh [] = new int[24, 23, 24, 25, 25, 23, 21];
D

A. A constructor is a special kind of method that determines how
a class is initialized when created
B. A constructor is a special kind of class that determines how
an object is initialized when created
C. A constructor is a special kind of method that determines how
an object is initialized when created
D. A constructor is a special kind of method that determines how
a message is

Question:
All Java keywords are written in lower case.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
No keywords in Java start with a capital letter.
================================
Question:
A method name can start with a number.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Method and variable names can't start with a number, although they can
contain numbers. myMethod2() is legal; 2myMethod() is not.
================================
Question:
A variable name can start with $.

Answer:
true
Explanation:
Methods and variables can start with a $ character, but its not
recommended.
================================
Question:
Which of these are legal values for a boolean?

Answer:
true, false

Explanation:
Unlike C/C++, booleans in Java are represented with the literals true
and false. You can't substitute integers such as 1 and 0 where a boolean
value is expected.
================================
Question:
What is the bit-depth of a char?

Answer:
16 bits

Explanation:
Chars in Java are all 16-bit Unicode.
================================
Question:
What is the bit-depth of a byte?

Answer:
8 bits

Explanation:
Bytes are always 8 bits. The left-most bit is used to represent the sign.
================================
Question:
A floating point literal in Java is treated as a:

Answer:
double

Explanation:
Floating point literals (example: 2.27) in Java are automatically typed
as
doubles unless you add an "f" (example: 2.27f).
================================
Question:
When you pass a reference to an array as an
argument to a method call, you pass a new reference
to the original array.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
An array is an object, and Java always passes a copy of the reference
to the original object. Both references now point to the same array
object.
================================
Question:
Does a call to System.gc() force garbage collection to
take place? (assuming there are objects to be collected)
Answer:
Not always

Explanation:
Think of a call to System.gc( ) as a... suggestion. Garbage collection
may or may not actually occur.
================================
Question:
Which of these operators would cause the bit pattern
00111100 to become 11000011?

Answer:
~

Explanation:
The ~ operator performs a bitwise inversion (flips the bits!).
================================
Question:
Assume x = 2 and y = 4. What is the result of
(!( y > x ))

Answer:
false

Explanation:
This test asks if the expression (y is greater than 2) is NOT true...
and that's false. y IS greater than 2, so the result is false.
================================
Question:
Assume x = 6 and y = 7. What is the result of
(!( y == x ))

Answer:
true

Explanation:
The test asks if the primitive values of y and x are NOT equal in value,
which is true.
================================
Question:
Assume: byte a = 3; byte b = 2;
What is the result of:
byte c = a + b ;

Answer:
compiler error

Explanation:
The result of arithmetic is always at LEAST an int, so the compiler will
ask for an explicit cast: byte c = (byte)( a + b ); even though a and b
are bytes.
================================
Question:
Can you compare a boolean to an integer?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Not in Java. A boolean has a value of true or false, not 1 and 0,
or 0 and anything else. You just can't do it (watch out C folks)
================================
Question:
What is "instanceof" ?

Answer:
an operator

Explanation:
The "instanceof" operator -- if ( A instanceof B) -- tests if
an object A is either an instance of B, an instance of a subclass of B,
or implements the B interface.
================================
Question:
Integer a = new Integer(5);
Integer b = new Integer(5);
What is the result of running:
if ( a == b )

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The == operator looks ONLY for a match of bits. For two different
objects,
the only way == can be true is if both reference variables point to the
SAME object.
================================
Question:
Can a top-level class be marked as private?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
If a class was private... who could use it? For a normal, top-level
class,
the only access modifiers that make sense are public and default
(package).
Only nested inner classes can be private.
================================
Question:
Can a top-level class be marked as protected?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
A top-level class can ONLY be marked public or default (package). The
protected access is just for member variables and methods, and allows
subclasses outside the superclass package to inherit the protected
members.
================================
Question:
methods which are marked protected can be called on any
subclass of the class in which the method is declared.

Answer:
true
Explanation:
Protected members (methods and data) can be inherited by subclasses,
including those outside the package. The only difference between default
(no modifier) and protected, is that protected extends visibility outside
the package... but ONLY to subclasses.
================================
Question:
Can a private method of a superclass be declared within
a subclass?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Trick question! Private methods can NOT be overriden, but they CAN be
re-declared/redefined in the subclass, and called directly on the
subclass
object. But polymorphism will not apply.
================================
Question:
Can an abstract class have non-abstract methods?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Unlike interfaces, abstract classes CAN provide implementations of
methods.
================================
Question:
Can a non-abstract class have abstract methods?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Even a single abstract method tells the compiler that the whole class
MUST be declared abstract.
================================
Question:
If a non-abstract class X inherits abstract methods
from its abstract parent class Y, is the X class
required to implement the inherited abstract methods?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Any concrete (non-abstract) class MUST provide bodies (implementations)
for
the abstract methods it inherits. Otherwise, the compiler will insist
that
the new subclass itself be marked as abstract.
================================
Question:
If a class declares that it implements an interface
(class A implements B), must class A implement the
methods of interface B?
Answer:
Unless A is abstract

Explanation:
If a class is abstract, and it implements an interface, it can leave the
interface implementations up to a concrete (non-abstract) subclass.
================================
Question:
TRUE or FALSE -
during arithmetic, when the operands are of different
types, the resulting type is ALWAYS the widest
of the two types.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The result of an arithmetic operation on any two primitive integer
operands
will be at least an int -- even if the operands are byte and short.
================================
Question:
class Y is a subclass of class X. Will this compile?
Y myY = new X( );

Answer:
No

Explanation:
You can never have a reference type of a subclass refer to an actual
instance of the superclass. Because an object of type X (the superclass)
wouldn't have the new methods that an object of type Y (the subclass) is
supposed to have.
================================
Question:
Class Y is a subclass of class X. Will this compile?
X myX = new Y( );

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
A reference variable can always refer to any object which is a subclass
of the reference type, since the instance methods of the reference
variable
type (X) are guaranteed to be callable on the actual subclass object
(class Y).
================================
Question:
Can you compile an if construct without using
curly braces?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
If you do not use curly braces for an if block, then only the first
statement
following the if ( ) will run if the if condition is true.
================================
Question:
What goes in the first part of a for loop?

Answer:
init statement

Explanation:
The init statement must be the first part of the for declaration --
example:
for (int i = 7;;)
================================
Question:
Is this legal?
int i ;
for ( i = 4, int t = 6; i < 0; i++ )

Answer:
No

Explanation:
You can declare or initialize more than one variable in a for loop, but
you
can't mix declarations with initializations.
================================
Question:
In a for loop, the continue statement will cause
execution to jump out of the loop and continue on
at the first statement below the loop.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Continue really means "continue with the next iteration", so
execution of the current iteration stops, and execution continues at the
next iteration.
================================
Question:
An inner class must be defined within the opening and
closing braces of a class, but outside any method --
just like data members.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
An inner class can be defined inside a method, or even inside a parameter
to a method! (with anonymous inner classes)
================================
Question:
A class defined within a parameter to a method is:

Answer:
anonymous

Explanation:
A class defined within a method parameter (typically used with event
listener classes) is considered anonymous. The object is created and
alive,
but the new class type has no name, so you can't create more instances of
it
except by going through that same method.
================================
Question:
when an object is created using new (), its constructor
will not complete until all constructors higher on the
inheritance tree have completed.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Remember the rule: the parents must exist before the children, and this
goes all the way up the ancestral tree.
================================
Question:
the compiler will always insert a default, no-argument
constructor into any class definition.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The compiler will ONLY insert a default constructor if you don't provide
any constructor at all.
================================
Question:
when you override a method, the overriding method in
the subclass must not declare ANY new exceptions
not declared by the overridden method.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
This rule only applies to "checked" exceptions -- the exceptions
which are subclasses of Exception but not subclasses of RuntimeException.
================================
Question:
Will this compile?
float f = 27.24f;

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Without the "f", Java will consider a floating point number to be a
double, and the compiler will force you to do an explicit cast.
================================
Question:
As a literal, what is 27.24?

Answer:
a double

Explanation:
All floating point literals are assumed to be doubles, not floats!
================================
Question:
Will this compile?
int[] x = [27];

Answer:
No

Explanation:
In Java you must create the array using: int[] x = new int[27] or by
explicitly filling in the values: int[] x = {4,2,7,3,9,8};
================================
Question:
When an array is constructed, are its elements
automatically initialized?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
All array elements are ALWAYS given default values, whether the array is
a class, instance, or local variable. Primitives initialize to zero,
booleans to false, chars to '\u0000' and object references to null.
================================
Question:
Is this legal?
int x[ ] = {2,7,4,9};

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
This instantiation/initialization is allowed as a shortcut to creating
a new array and assigning a value for each index.
================================
Question:
Is this legal?
public static void main ( String[] fred )

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
You can call the command-line argument variable whatever you like! And
you can put the brackets [] before or after the variable name.
================================
Question:
Assume x = 0 and y = 3.
What is the value of x after: x = y++;

Answer:
3

Explanation:
X gets the value of y, THEN y is incremented. The result would have been
4 if the expression was: x = ++y ;
================================
Question:
Given x = y--;
Which of these will be true AFTER execution?

Answer:
x > y

Explanation:
y is assigned to x, then y is decremented.
So by the end of the statement, x is greater than y.
================================
Question:
Integer literals are always what size?

Answer:
int - 32 bits

Explanation:
integer literals are always treated as 32-bit ints
================================
Question:
Can you use an increment unary operator on a byte?
(example: byte b = 4; b++;)

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
You don't need an explicit cast to use the increment unary operator.
================================
Question:
What happens when you divide an integer by a variable
with a value of 0?

Answer:
Runtime exception

Explanation:
At runtime you will get an ArithmeticException which is not checked
for at compile time. Floats and doubles will NOT throw an exception
if divided by 0.
================================
Question:
What happens when you put this expression in your code:
int x = 0;
int y = 4 % x ;

Answer:
Runtime exception

Explanation:
The modulo operator (%) is performing a divide, so you get a divide-by-
zero
ArithmeticException at runtime. Even using a literal 0 (y = 4 % 0;)
instead
of a variable would not cause a compiler error.
================================
Question:
What happens when you have this in your code:
double x;
x = 24.0/0;

Answer:
Compiles and runs
Explanation:
Floating point numbers don't produce a divide-by-zero
ArithmeticException.
They will give a result which is a Not a Number value.
================================
Question:
What happens when you bit shift by a number greater
than or equal to the number of bits in the result?
(eg. int c = 270; c >> 33)

Answer:
You get 270 >> 1

Explanation:
Shifting bits by a number greater than or equal to the number of bits
in the result (eg. 32 bits for an int) will cause the value to be shifted
by the number modulo the number of bits in the value (you shift by 33%32
which is 1).
================================
Question:
What happens when you compare two primitives of different
numerical types?

Answer:
Smaller type is promoted

Explanation:
Java promotes the smaller type to the wider of the types being compared.
So when comparing a byte to an int, the byte is first promoted to an int.
================================
Question:
Which of these is the Exclusive-OR (XOR) operator?

Answer:
^

Explanation:
The ^ is the Exclusive-OR operator.
================================
Question:
x = false; y = true;
What is the result of x && y?

Answer:
false

Explanation:
"&&" is the short-circuit AND operator. If both values
are true, the result is true, but Java won't bother to check the second
condition if the first one is false.
================================
Question:
Can a method have more than one access modifier?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Methods CAN have more than one modifier, but not more than one ACCESS
modifier. Access modifiers are public, protected, private (and of course,
default/package). Early versions of the JDK allowed a private protected
access, but current versions prohibit this.
================================
Question:
Can a subclass access the private member variables of
its own superclass?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Private means "private to the class". Period. Kids (subclasses)
get no special treatment.
================================
Question:
Can a method with no access modifier be overriden by a
method marked protected?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Overriden methods are allowed to have LESS restriction, and since
protected
is less restricted than default (package), this is allowed.
================================
Question:
Does a final member variable have to be initialized at
the time it's declared?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Although early versions of the JDK enforced this, current versions let
you initialize a final variable in the constructor, but no later.
================================
Question:
If a final variable is a reference to an object, can
that object's data members be modified while the
program is running?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
An reference variable marked final does NOT mean that the object itself
can not be changed... final means that the reference can never be changed
to point to some other object.
================================
Question:
Can a final method be overriden?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Final methods can't be overriden... they're FINAL! The compiler will
catch you.
================================
Question:
Can you automatically convert a long to an int if the
long value is small enough to fit into an int?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
A long has 64 bits while an int has 32. You can't implicitly squish a
*potentially* big thing into a little thing. The compiler doesn't care
if the long variable is holding a tiny value. It just looks for the
possibility of trouble.
================================
Question:
Can you automatically/implicitly convert a char
to a short?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
They're the same bit-depth, but since chars are unsigned, they might
have a higher positive value than a short can accept.
================================
Question:
Can you pass a short into a method call when an int is
expected?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Since a short will definitely fit into an int, the short is implicitly
promoted. No cast needed.
================================
Question:
Given this code, what prints?
boolean b = false;
if ( b = true )
{
System.out.println("yes");
}

Answer:
"yes" prints

Explanation:
"Yes" prints because the expression ( b = true ) uses the
assignment operator =, not the equality operator ==. So b is set to
true, and the result is true so the if condition runs the code.
================================
Question:
If you do not use curly braces for a while loop body,
what will execute if the while condition is true?

Answer:
First statement after while ( )

Explanation:
If there are no curly braces to set off a loop block, then just
the first statement is executed as part of the condition and any
statements following that are executed no matter what.
================================
Question:
using a break in a for loop causes the loop to break
out of the current iteration and jump to the next
iteration of the loop.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The break statements means "break out of this structure completely!".
So the current iteration and any other remaining iterations of
the loop will not run. Execution moves to the first statement below the
loop.
================================
Question:
An exception can be caught by a catch block with
an argument type that is a superclass of the
thrown exception.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
If there is no catch(ExceptionArgument) which matches the thrown
exception,
then an argument which is a superclass of the exception will catch it.
================================
Question:
In a try/catch, an exception will not be considered
caught if the catch (Exception) block has no code
within the braces { }

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Its perfectly legal to catch the exception but do nothing about it.
================================
Question:
if an exception is not caught, the finally block will
run and the rest of the method is skipped.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
The finally block will always run if an exception is thrown, and then
the exception is immediately passed to the calling method.
================================
Question:
An overloaded method MUST change:

Answer:
Argument list

Explanation:
An overloaded method must change the argument list, but the return
type is optional.
================================
Question:
Overloaded methods are free to change the
access modifier.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
As long as the argument list is different, the overloaded method is
also free to change both the return type and the access visibility.
================================
Question:
constructors can not be overloaded.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Constructors can be overloaded to allow the calling code to provide
more (or less) information when the object is created.
================================
Question:
An inner class has free access to private member
data of the outer classes.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Inner classes have a special relationship with the their outer
(enclosing) classes, including access to private data of the outer class.
For event listeners implemented as inner classes, this means you do NOT
have to pass a reference to the outer class in to the constructor of the
inner class. The inner class has something like an "outer this"
("outer this" is not a keyword, just the way inner classes behave).
================================
Question:
Member (instance) variables are always assigned a
default value if not explicitly initialized.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Member variables are always given a default value -- numerical primitives
get zero, chars get '\u0000', and object references get null.
================================
Question:
Automatic (local) variables are always assigned a
default value if not explicitly initialized.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
You don't have to initialize a local variable, but as soon as you try
to use it, you will get a compiler error because local variables aren't
given default values.
================================
Question:
When you pass a variable as an argument to a
method call, what are you passing?

Answer:
a copy of the value

Explanation:
You always get a copy of whatever is in the variable -- either a
primitive or a reference. So for objects, you get a copy of the
reference.
================================
Question:
When you pass an object reference as an argument to a
method call, what gets passed?

Answer:
a copy of the reference

Explanation:
You always get a copy of whatever is in the variable -- either a
primitive or a reference. So for objects, you get a copy of the
reference.
================================
Question:
When using the right-shift operator (>>), what
happens to the bits which move off the right end?

Answer:
They're gone

Explanation:
Bits moved off the end of any shift operation are just gone. History.
Vaporized.
================================
Question:
x = true;
y = true;
What is the result of x ^ y?

Answer:
false

Explanation:
" ^ " is the Exclusive-OR operator -- it only returns true
if just ONE of the values is true.
================================
Question:
x = true;
y = false;
What is the result of x & y?

Answer:
false

Explanation:
"&" is the AND operator. For a logical expression, the
result will be true only if BOTH values are true. (For bitwise AND,
both bits must be 1)
================================
Question:
Can one object access a private variable of another
object of the same class?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Private means "private to the class", NOT "private to the
object". So two objects of the same class could access each other's
private data.
================================
Question:
For object x to access a method of object y, when the
method has no access modifier, object x MUST be an
instance of a class which is:

Answer:
In the same package as y

Explanation:
No access modifier really means "default" access which really means
"only to others in the package". But you'll never see a keyword/modifier
"default".
================================
Question:
static variables are implicitly final.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Static variables CAN be marked final, which makes them essentially
constants, but they certainly don't have to be. Static just means "one
per class... not one per instance"
================================
Question:
Is it legal to access a static method using an
instance of the class?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Its legal to say anObject.aStaticMethod() but the preferred way is to
use the class name - MyClass.aStaticMethod(), to make it obvious in your
code that you're calling a static method.
================================
Question:
Are static methods allowed to access instance variables
using this.var?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Within a static method, there is no 'this'! Since this refers to the
current object -- the object whose method is executing -- 'this' makes no
sense in a static method, since it doesn't belong to any object.
================================
Question:
The only things which can be defined inside a class
and outside a method are instance variables
and inner classes.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Besides instance variables and inner classes, you can also define
static code blocks. The compiler combines static blocks and static
variable initialization into one big method which runs when the class is
loaded.
================================
Question:
Can a constructor be declared private?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
So how do you make an object...? Obviously you'd need a less restrictive
method (say, public) which can be called to create and return a new
object.
================================
Question:
Can a constructor be declared abstract?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Since a constructor is used solely to create a new instance, and an
abstract class can NEVER be instanced, it makes no sense.
================================
Question:
Can a constructor be declared static?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Constructors are for creating new instance objects. Static methods
are for non-instance code, so it makes no sense to have a static
constructor.
================================
Question:
Is this legal?
float f = 2;

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
The 2 is treated as an int literal, and since an int fits in a float, no
explicit cast or 'f' is needed. If the literal was 2.0 (instead of 2),
it would be treated as a double and would not compile.
================================
Question:
Can you automatically convert an int to a double?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Any int can fit into a double-sized variable, so no cast is needed.
================================
Question:
Can you pass a double to a method when the method's
argument is a float?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Regardless of the double value, a double-sized variable is too big to
fit in a float, so it can't be implicitly cast.
================================
Question:
Class Y is a subclass of class X. Will this compile?
Y myY = new Y();
X myX = myY;

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Any object can always be referenced by a variable which is of a
superclass
type... because the child/subclass object is guaranteed to have the
methods
of the superclass.
================================
Question:
using a break in a for loop causes the loop to break out
of the current iteration and jump to the next iteration
of the loop.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The break statements means "break out of this structure completely!".
So the current iteration and any other remaining iterations of the loop
will not run. Execution moves to the first statement below the loop.
================================
Question:
Is this legal?
int i = 0;
if ( i ) {}

Answer:
No

Explanation:
The only thing that can be an if (expression) is a boolean expression,
and since in Java ints cannot be cast to booleans, if (anInteger) will
not compile.
================================
Question:
In a switch statement, the argument to the case label
(case: argument) can be any variable which can fit
within an int.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The case argument must be either an int literal, or an int-compatible
variable which is a constant (i.e. static final).
================================
Question:
In a switch construct, once a matching case value is
found, execution will continue through other case
labels until it reaches a break statement.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Code executing as part of a case statement will just keep on running
through other cases until/unless it reaches a break statement. This is
called "fall through".
================================
Question:
In a switch construct, the default statement must be
placed after all the case statements.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The default can be placed anywhere.
================================
Question:
All exceptions inherit from:

Answer:
java.lang.Throwable

Explanation:
The Exception hierarchy begins at java.lang.Throwable.
================================
Question:
If method A declares that it throws an exception and
method B calls method A, then method B must ALWAYS
declare the same exception.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Method B does not have to declare the exception if it handles it
(by providing an appropriate catch(theException), OR if the exception
declared by A is a runtime exception.
================================
Question:
Class A inherits from B. B includes a method with the
same name, return type, and arguments as a method in A.
This is an example of:

Answer:
Overriding

Explanation:
An overriding method must have the same name, return type, and arguments
as the method in the superclass. It can't declare new or broader checked
exceptions, and it also can't have more restrictive access.
================================
Question:
a class can define two methods with the same name as
long as the return types are different.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
An overloaded method can change the return type, but return type alone
is not enough -- it also must change the argument list.
================================
Question:
an overriding method of a subclass can throw an
ArithmeticException not thrown by the original
(overridden) method.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
ArithmeticException is a RuntimeException, so the rules about overriding
methods not throwing new or broader exceptions does not apply.
================================
Question:
overloaded methods must not throw new checked exceptions
not thrown by the original method.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
This would be true for overriding methods, but overloaded methods are
free to throw new checked exceptions.
================================
Question:
an inner class has free access to ALL member data of
its enclosing (outer) class.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
An inner class has a special relationship and can see even private member
data of the outer class.
================================
Question:
It is not possible to have an instance of a non-static
inner class before any instances of the outer class
have been created.
Answer:
true

Explanation:
A non-static inner class can ONLY exist as part of a relationship with an
instance of its enclosing class.
================================
Question:
This is a legal way to create an instance of an inner
class:
OuterClass.InnerClass x =
new OuterClass().new InnerClass();

Answer:
true

Explanation:
It may look strange, but that syntax is how you can create an instance
of an inner class when you don't yet have an instance of the outer class.
An inner class must ALWAYS be tied to an instance of the outer class.
================================
Question:
public class Outer
{
int x ;
static class Inner
{
void foo()
{
x = 5 ;
}
}
}

Answer:
does not compile

Explanation:
A static inner class is treated as a top-level nested class, and has
no reference -- no special relationship -- to any instance of the
enclosing
class.
================================
Question:
Class B extends A. B overrides the doStuff() method
inherited from A. Which methods gets called if you say:
A myA = new B();
myA.doStuff();

Answer:
doStuff() in B

Explanation:
Java's polymorphism causes instance methods to be bound (chosen) at
runtime,
not during compilation. At runtime, the overriding method of the 'actual'
object (which is a B) is dynamically chosen, even though the reference
type is A.
================================
Question:
Are you allowed to have more than one top-level
(non-inner) class definition per source file?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
You can have as many top-level classes in one source file as you like,
but only one can be declared public and the source file name must match
the public class name.
================================
Question:
Each source file must have a public class in it.

Answer:
No

Explanation:
You don't have to have any public classes in your source files.
================================
Question:
Assume the bit value of byte x is 00101011.
What is the result of x >> 2;

Answer:
00001010

Explanation:
The right shift operator fills from the left with the value of the sign
bit
(in this case, 0).
================================
Question:
Assume the bit pattern of byte x is: 10110001.
What will the sign of x be after x >> 2;

Answer:
negative

Explanation:
The right-shift operator fills all bits from the left with the same value
as the original sign bit -- in this case 1.
================================
Question:
What does the unsigned right-shift operator do to a
negative number?

Answer:
change its sign

Explanation:
The unsigned right-shift operator always fills from the left with zero,
so the result will always become positive.
================================
Question:
What is the result of 00110011 & 11110000 ?

Answer:
00110000
Explanation:
The bitwise AND operator, &, will result in bit values of 1 only if
BOTH bits being compared are 1.
================================
Question:
The short-circuit operators work on boolean types,
not bits.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Short-circuit operators work only on logical expressions; they make
boolean tests more efficient by not testing both operands unless its
necessary.
================================
Question:
Methods which have no access modifier can only be
accessed by classes within the same package.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
No access modifier means "default" which means "only to others in
the package".
================================
Question:
methods which are marked protected can be accessed only
by classes within the same package.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Protected means "any subclass, regardless of package, can inherit
these members -- methods or data"
================================
Question:
Can a public method be overriden by a protected method?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Overriding methods can NOT be more restrictive than the original method.
================================
Question:
methods and variables can be declared as final, but a
class cannot be declared final.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
A final class is a class which can NOT be subclassed. Its the end-of-the-
line
in the inheritance tree.
================================
Question:
Can a final class be subclassed?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
A final class means the end-of-the-line for the inhertance tree. No
subclasses
can be made from a final class, only instances.
================================
Question:
Can you have a final abstract class?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
final and abstract are opposites: a final class can NOT be subclassed,
while an abstract class MUST be subclassed... so final abstract makes no
sense.
================================
Question:
Can a member variable be declared abstract?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Only methods and classes can be declared abstract.
================================
Question:
Can an abstract method be overridden?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
An abstract method has no choice! It MUST be overridden.
================================
Question:
Can a class be declared native?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Methods can be native, not classes or variables.
================================
Question:
Can a member variable be declared native?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Only methods can be native.
================================
Question:
Can a method be declared transient?
Answer:
No

Explanation:
The transient modifier is used to keep variable data from being saved
if an object is "serialized" (saved as an object ). Since
methods don't change their state for an individual object, methods are
never serialized, so transient is not needed for methods.
================================
Question:
Can a class be declared transient?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Only data members can be declared as transient... meaning their value
won't be saved when an object is "serialized" (saved).
================================
Question:
Can a member variable be declared synchronized?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
The word synchronized marks method code so that it can't be run by more
than one thread at a time.
================================
Question:
Can a class be declared synchronized?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
The keyword synchronized marks method code so that only one thread can
access it at a time.
================================
Question:
Can a method be declared synchronized?

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
The synchronized modifier means that only one thread at a time can run
the synchronized code.
================================
Question:
What happens when you compile this:
byte a = 2;
a++;

Answer:
Compiles and runs

Explanation:
The ++operator increments a as a byte, so there's no problem. You WOULD
have a problem with a = a + 1; because the a + 1 would result in an int
which would then have to be cast back to the byte variable a.
================================
Question:
Class Y is a subclass of class X. Will this compile?
X myX = new X();
Y myY = (Y)myX;

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
It will compile, because the myX object might really have been a Y object
all along (as far as the compiler knows), but at runtime it will fail.
================================
Question:
In a switch statement, the argument to the switch ( )
can be a variable as long as it is
compatible with an int.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
The switch can obviously hold a variable, because that's what you're
testing! But the variable cannot be anything except an int-compatible
primitive.
================================
Question:
in a switch construct, the default statement will always
execute.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The default statement will only execute if no matching case is found, OR
if there is "fall through" from a case statement executed above.
================================
Question:
in a switch construct, the default statement will
execute if no case values match the switch() argument.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
If there are no matching cases found, the default will run.
================================
Question:
in a try/catch construct, the catch blocks may be
written in any order and the most narrow/specific
catch argument is chosen at runtime.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The catch blocks must be written in order from most specific to least
(e.g. IOException comes above Exception) or the compiler will complain.
================================
Question:
a finally block will only be executed if the exception
is not caught.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The finally block will ALWAYS run... unless the try/catch calls
System.exit().
================================
Question:
a MalformedURLException is a checked exception.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
A MalformedURLException is checked by the compiler to be sure that
the "handle or declare" rule is followed.
================================
Question:
an ArithmeticException is a checked exception.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
ArithmeticExceptions are considered programmer problems, and are
NOT checked by the compiler. A divide-by-zero error, for example,
should be checked for by your own code.
================================
Question:
if a try/catch construct calls System.exit(),
the finally block will execute first.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
System.exit() means stop the program now! Even a finally block can't stop
that from happening.
================================
Question:
an overriding method can change the access modifier
from default to protected.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Since the protected modifier is less restrictive than default, an
overriding
method is allowed to make that change.
================================
Question:
To invoke an overriden method from the method which
overrides it, use:

Answer:
super.theMethod();

Explanation:
The super keyword is like a reference to the superclass.
================================
Question:
constructors are not inherited.

Answer:
true

Explanation:
Constructors are different from methods in several ways, and inheritance
is one of them. Subclasses do NOT get a constructor from the superclass.
================================
Question:
It is legal to declare an array with an interface as
the type (instead of a class or primitive) -- example:
PetInterface []p;

Answer:
true

Explanation:
One of the best uses of polymorphism in Java is to declare an array using
an interface type, then add objects which can be from any class, as long
as they implement the interface type of the array.
================================
Question:
Can a method be declared volatile?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
Only variables can be declared as volatile.
================================
Question:
Is cast a keyword?

Answer:
No

Explanation:
It may have been in c++, but wasn't carried into Java.
================================
Question:
What is the result of the following code
System.out.println( Math.round(-3.22) );

Answer:
-3

Explanation:
round returns the closest int to the argument.
================================
Question:
What is the result of the following code?
System.out.println( Math.ceil(-3.22) );
Answer:
-3.0

Explanation:
ceil returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value
that is not less than the argument and is equal to a mathematical
integer.
================================
Question:
What is the result of the following code?
System.out.println( Math.floor(-3.22) );

Answer:
-4.0

Explanation:
floor returns the largest (closest to positive infinity) double
value that is not greater than the argument and is equal to a
mathematical integer.
================================
Question:
What is the result of the following code?
System.out.println( Math.sqrt(-4) );

Answer:
NaN

Explanation:
If the argument is NaN or less than zero, then the result is NaN.
================================
Question:
Will this compile?
int iArray[] = new int[] {1,2,3,4,5};

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
This is one way to initialize an array when it is declared.
================================
Question:
Will this compile?
int iArray[5]= new int[]{1,2,3,4,5};

Answer:
No

Explanation:
An array declaration may not have the size on the left hand side of
the equals sign.
================================
Question:
Assuming all variables are declared and
initialized properly, will this compile?
for ( i = 1, j = 2; i < 3; i++, j++ ){};

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Multiple initializers and multiple incrementers are permitted.
================================
Question:
Assuming all variables are declared and
initialized properly, will this compile?
for ( i = 1; k < 5; j++ ) {};

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
Multiple variables are permitted within the construct of a
for loop (although this is not recommended)
================================
Question:
if you do not provide any constructor for
your class, the compiler will insert
a default constructor with public access modifier

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The generated constructor is given the access modifier
"public" if the class is public, or else the constructor
is given the default access implied by no modifier
================================
Question:
An interface can extend at most one interface.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
An interface may extend multiple interfaces. A class is,
however, limited to extending only one class.
================================
Question:
An abstract class can have a constructor.

Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
An abstract class may have a constructor. Since an abstract
class cannot be instantiated, you cannot call its constructor
directly. However, a constructor will be called implicitly
when an abstract class is extended
================================
Question:
If there is a return statement in the catch block,
the finally block will not be executed.

Answer:
false

Explanation:
The ONLY case when the finally block will not be excecuted
is if there is a call to System.exit() in the try/catch blocks.
================================
Question:
what will be the output of this code:
class Exam
{
protected String difficultyLevel = "easy";

public void printDifficultyLevel()

{
System.out.println( difficultyLevel );
}
}
class SCJPExam extends Exam
{
private String difficultyLevel = "killing";
}
SCJPExam myExam = new SCJPExam();
myExam.printDifficultyLevel();

Answer:
easy

Explanation:
Methods can be overridden. Attributes cannot.
================================
Question:
An anonymous inner class cannot have a constructor

Answer:
true

Explanation:
A constructor has the same name as the class. If the class is
anonymous (has no name), how could you name the constructor?
================================
Question:
A method cannot be declared as throwing more than
one exception

Answer:
false

Explanation:
Any number of exceptions, separated by commas, can be
coded in a throws clause
================================
