Questions Question - 1
Which of the following return true?

1."das" == new String("das")

2."das".equals("das")
3."das".equals(new Button("das"))
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

== compare the addresses and equals() methods checks for content. In the "das" ==
new String("das") , new String("das") point to different address then "das".

Question - 2
Which of the following is correct?

1.String temp [] = new String {"j" "a" "z"};

2.String temp [] = { "j " " b" "c"};
3.String temp = {"a", "b", "c"};
4.String temp [] = {"a", "b", "c"};

Explanation :
D is the correct answer.

String temp [] = {"a", "b", "c"}; where temp[] is String array.

Question - 3
What is the output?

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("ssss");

 StringBuffer sb_2 = new StringBuffer("ssss");
System.out.println("sb equals sb_2 : " + sb.equals(sb_2));

1.sb equals sb_2 : false

2.sb equals sb_2 : true
3.Can't say
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

StringBuffer class DOES NOT override the equals() method. Therefore, it uses Object
class' equals(), which only checks for equality of the object references

Question - 4
What is the output?

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("ssss");

String st = new String("ssss");
System.out.println("st equals sb : " + st.equals(sb));

1.st equals sb : false

2.st equals sb : true
3.can't say
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

String's equals() method checks if the argument if of type string, if not it returns false

Question - 5
What is true about StringBuilder ?

1.StringBuilder is a drop-in replacement for StringBuffer in cases where thread safety

is not an issue.
2.StringBuilder is NOT synchronized
3.StringBuilder offers FASTER performance than StringBuffer
4.All of the above

Explanation :
D is the correct answer.

J2SE5.0 added the StringBuilder class, which is a drop-in replacement for

StringBuffer in cases where thread safety is not an issue. Because StringBuilder is
NOT synchronized, it offers FASTER performance than StringBuffer.

2.no actual file will be created.
3.Compile error.
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

creating a new instance of the class File, you're not yet making an actual file, you're
just creating a filename

Question - 44
What will be the result of compiling and run the following code:
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

File file = new File("test.txt");
System.out.println(file.exists());
file.createNewFile();
System.out.println(file.exists());
}

1.true true
2.false true
3.false true
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

creating a new instance of the class File, you're not yet making an actual file, you're
just creating a filename. So file.exists() return false. createNewFile() method created
an actual file.so file.exists() return true.

Question - 45
What will be the result of compiling and run the following code:
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

File file = new File("test.txt");
System.out.println(file.exists());
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
System.out.println(file.exists());
}

}
1.true true
2.false true
3.false true
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

creating a new instance of the class File, you're not yet making an actual file, you're
just creating a filename. So file.exists() return false. FileWriter fw = new
FileWriter(file) do three things: It created a FileWriter reference variable fw. It
created a FileWriter object, and assigned it to fw. It created an actual empty file out
on the disk. So file.exists() return true .

Question - 46
What is the way to create a actual file ?

1.Invoke the createNewFile() method on a File object.

2.Create a Reader or a Writer or a Stream.
3.Both are true
4.None of the above

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

Whenever you create an instance of a FileReader, a FileWriter, a PrintWriter, a

FileInputStream, or a FileOutputStream classes, you automatically create a file, unless
one already exists.

Question - 47
What will be the result of compiling and run the following code:
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

File myDir = new File("test");
// myDir.mkdir();

myDir, "test.txt");
myFile.createNewFile();
}

1.create directory "test" and a file name as "test.txt" within the the directory.
2.java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
3.Compile with error
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

// myDir.mkdir(); is commented so no directory, thatswhy exception.

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

serialization applies only to OBJECTS. static variables are related to class not
OBJECT. so static variables are not Serializable.

Question - 51
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

Calendar c = new Calendar();
System.out.println(c.getTimeInMillis());
}
}

What is the output for the above code ?

1.Returns this Calendar's time value in milliseconds.

2.Compile error : Cannot instantiate the type Calendar
3.Runtime Exception
4.None of the above

Explanation :
B is the correct answer.

Compile error : Cannot instantiate the type Calendar. In order to create a Calendar
instance, you have to use one of the overloaded getInstance() static factory methods:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

Question - 52
public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

Date d = new Date(1123631685981L);
DateFormat df = new DateFormat();
System.out.println(df.format(d));

What is the output for the above code ?

1.An exception is thrown at runtime.

2.1123631685981L
3.Compilation fails
4.None of the above

Explanation :
C is the correct answer.

DateFormat objects must be created using a static method such as

DateFormat.getInstance() or DateFormat.getDateInstance().

Question - 53
Which statement is true?
1.The DateFormat.getDate() is used to convert a String to a Date instance
2.If a NumberFormat instance's Locale is to be different than the current Locale, it
must be specified at creation time.
3.Both DateFormat and NumberFormat objects can be constructed to be Locale
specific
4.2 and 3 is true

Explanation :
D is the correct answer.

DateFormat.parse() is used to convert a String to a Date.

Question - 54
Which statement is true about java.io.Console class ?

1.Console has readPassword() method that disables console echo and returns a char
array
2.Console has readLine() method that disables console echo and returns a char array]
3.Both of the above statements are true
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

Console has readPassword() method that disables console echo and returns a char
array. You can't see the password in console.

Question - 55
Which statement is true about java.io.Console class ?

1.you can't extend Console class because it is final

2.Console class is not final]
3.Console implements Flushable
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A and C is the correct answer.

public final class Console implements Flushable {}. you can't extend Console class
because it is final.

Question - 56
What is the output?

import java.io.Console;

public class Test {

public static void main(String... args) {

Console con = System.console();

boolean auth = false;

if (con != null)
{
int count = 0;
do
{
String uname = con.readLine(null);
char[] pwd = con.readPassword("Enter %s's password: ",
uname);

con.writer().write("\n\n");
} while (!auth && ++count < 3);
}

}
}

1.NullPointerException
2.It works properly
3.Compile Error : No readPassword() method in Console class.
4.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.
F passing a null argument to any method in Console class will cause a
NullPointerException to be thrown.

Question - 57
How to get instance of java.io.Console class ?

1.Console con = System.console();

2.Console con = new Console();]
3.None of the above

Explanation :
A is the correct answer.

If this virtual machine has a console then it is represented by a unique instance of this
class which can be obtained by invoking the System.console() method. If no console
device is available then an invocation of that method will return null.
