Q1. Given the string "strawberries" saved in a variable called fruit, what would fruit.substring(2, 5)
return?
- rawb
- raw
- awb
- traw
Reasoning: The substring method is accepting two arguments.
- The first argument being the index to start(includes that char at 2)
- and the second the index of the string to end the substring(excludes the char at 5).
- Strings in Java are like arrays of chars.
- Therefore, the method will return "raw" as those are the chars in indexes 2,3, and 4.
- You can also take the ending index and subtract the beginning index from it, to determine how many chars will be included in the substring (5-2=3).
- method overloading
- method overrunning
- method overriding
- method calling
boolean b1 = true, b2 = false; int i1 = 1, i2 = 2;
-
(i1 | i2) == 3
-
i2 && b1
-
b1 || !b2
-
(i1 ^ i2) < 4

- It will show a stack trace with a runtime exception.

- Lines 1 and 2 generate compiler errors due to class name conflicts.

- It will not compile because of line 10.
- "Hello!"

Explanation: Compilation error at line 10 because of final methods cannot be overridden, and here message() is a final method, and also note that Non-static method message() cannot be referenced from a static context.

}
}
- "123451234512345"
- Nothing - this will not compile.
- a negative integer value
- "12345100000"
Reasoning: The int type in Java can be used to represent any whole number from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Therefore this code will not compile as the number assigned to 'a' is larger than the int type can hold.
class Main {

Explanation: final
class members are allowed to be assigned only in three places: declaration, constructor or an instance-initializer block.
public class Solution {

1: int a = 1;
2: int b = 0;
3: int c = a/b;
4: System.out.println(c);
- It will throw an ArithmeticException.
- It will run and output 0.
- It will not compile because of line 3.
- It will run and output infinity.
Q56. Normally, to access a static member of a class such as Math.PI, you would need to specify the class "Math". What would be the best way to allow you to use simply "PI" in your code?
- Add a static import.
- Declare local copies of the constant in your code.
- This cannot be done. You must always qualify references to static members with the class form which they came from.
- Put the static members in an interface and inherit from that interface.
- extends
- implements
- inherits
- import
- You don't have to decide the size of an ArrayList when you first make it.
- You can put more items into an ArrayList than into an array.
- ArrayLists can hold more kinds of objects than arrays.
- You don't have to decide the type of an ArrayList when you first make it.
- int pi = 3.141;
- decimal pi = 3.141;
- double pi = 3.141;
- float pi = 3.141;
Reasoning:
public class TestReal {
public static void main (String[] argv)
{
double pi = 3.14159265; //accuracy up to 15 digits
float pi2 = 3.141F; //accuracy up to 6-7 digits
System.out.println ("Pi=" + pi);
System.out.println ("Pi2=" + pi2);
}
}
The default Java type which Java will be using for a float variable will be double.
So, even if you declare any variable as float, what the compiler has to actually do is to assign a double value to a float variable,
which is not possible. So, to tell the compiler to treat this value as a float, that 'F' is used.

Q72. Java programmers commonly use design patterns. Some examples are the _, which helps create instances of a class, the _, which ensures that only one instance of a class can be created; and the _, which allows for a group of algorithms to be interchangeable.
