Assignment 2
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ
Number of questions: 10 Total marks: 10 × 1 = 10

QUESTION 1:

In Java programming an object can take many forms. This feature called ______.

a. Abstrac�on
b. Polymorphism
c. Encapsula�on
d. Inheritance

Correct Answer:

b. Polymorphism

Detailed Solu�on:

Polymorphism means "many forms", and it occurs when we have many classes that are related to each
other by inheritance. Object variables (instance variables) represent the behavior of polymorphic
variables in Java. It is because object variables of a class can refer to objects of its class as well as objects
of its subclasses.

QUESTION 2:

Which of the following is a valid declaration of an object of class, say NPTEL?

a. NPTEL obj = new NPTEL ();

b. NPTEL obj = new NPTEL;
c. obj = new NPTEL ();
d. new NPTEL obj;

Correct Answer:

a. NPTEL obj = new NPTEL ();

Detailed Solu�on:

The correct syntax for declaring an object is:

<class_name> <object_name> = new <class_name>().
So the correct declara�on of an object named obj is: NPTEL obj = new NPTEL();
Others are invalid declara�ons.

QUESTION 3:

A default constructor:

a. has no arguments
b. has no return type
c. has one argument but no return type
d. has two arguments

Correct Answer:

a. has no arguments

Detailed Solu�on:

A default constructor is a constructor created by the compiler if we do not define any constructor(s) for a
class. A constructor is called "Default Constructor" when it doesn't have any parameter. The Syntax of
default constructor: <class_name>(){} . The default constructor is used to provide the default values to
the object like 0, null, etc., depending on the type.
Example:

class NPTEL {

//creating a default constructor

NPTEL() {
System.out.println("Programming in Java");
}

//main method
public static void main(String args[]) {
//calling a default constructor
NPTEL obj = new NPTEL();
}
}

Output: “Programming in Java”

QUESTION 4:

A top-level class may have which one of the following access modifiers?

a. package
b. private
c. protected
d. public

Correct Answer:

d. public

Detailed Solu�on:

At the top level only public, or package-private (no explicit modifier) access modifier is allowed in
Java. For top level class only two access modifiers are allowed: public and default. If a class is
declared as public it is visible everywhere. If a class is declared default it is visible only in same
package.

QUESTION 6:

What is true about the new operator?

a. returns a pointer to a variable

b. creates a variable called new
c. obtains memory for a new variable
d. tells how much memory is available

Correct Answer:

c. obtains memory for a new variable

Detailed Solu�on:

The new operator is used in Java to create new objects. It can also be used to create an array object. The
new operator instan�ates a class by alloca�ng memory for a new object and returning a reference to
that memory. The new operator also invokes the object constructor. It is used for dynamic memory
alloca�on which puts variables on heap memory.

QUESTION 7:

Which one is not supported by OOP?

a. Abstrac�on
b. Polymorphism
c. Encapsula�on
d. Global variables

Correct Answer:

d. Global variables

Detailed Solu�on:

Java does not support global variables. A global variable is one declared at the start of the code and is
accessible to all parts of the program. Since Java is object-oriented, everything is part of a class. The
intent is to protect data from being changed. A sta�c variable can be declared, which can be available to
all instances of a class.

QUESTION 8:

Which of the following modifiers can be used to disallow a method from being overridden?

a. final
b. transient
c. vola�le
d. sta�c

Correct Answer:

a. final

Detailed Solu�on:

The final keyword is a non-access modifier used for classes, atributes and methods, which makes
them non-changeable (impossible to inherit or override). The final keyword is useful when you want a
variable to always store the same value, like PI (3.14159...).

QUESTION 10:

Which of the following is TRUE about print() and println() methods?

a. print() prints in a single line only and mul�ple lines cannot be printed in any way.
b. println()prints and then appends a line break.
c. println() prints in a single line only and mul�ple lines cannot be printed.
d. print() prints and then appends a line break.

Correct Answer:

b. println()prints and then appends a line break.

Detailed Solu�on:

Method print() can be used to print in a single line only but mul�ple lines can be printed using escape
sequence ‘\n’. Similarly, println() prints in a single line only and mul�ple lines can be printed using escape
sequence ‘\n’. Method print() prints but does not appends a line break. So, op�on (b) println() prints and
then appends a line break is the only correct op�on.

QUESTION 4:

In Java, is it possible to override a static method?

a. Yes, we can override a sta�c method just like we do with instance methods.
b. No, sta�c methods cannot be overridden because they belong to the class, not the object.
c. It depends on whether the sta�c method is declared as final or not.
d. It depends on the access modifier of the sta�c method.

Correct Answer:

b. No, sta�c methods cannot be overridden because they belong to the class, not the object.

Detailed Solu�on:

In Java, a sta�c method is bound to the class and not to the instance. Hence, it is not part of the state of
the object and doesn't par�cipate in polymorphism and dynamic dispatch, which are necessary for
method overriding.

}
}

a. "The vehicle moves"

b. "The car moves"
c. The code does not compile
d. None of the above

Correct Answer:

b. "The car moves"

Detailed Solu�on:

In Java, a subclass can override methods from its superclass. In this example, the Car class is overriding
the move method of the Vehicle class. Since the object is instan�ated as a Car, the overridden move
method in the Car class is called, producing the output "The car moves"

QUESTION 5:

Which of the following package stores all the standard java classes?

a. java.u�l
b. java.lang
c. java.java
d. java.packages

Correct Answer:

b. java.lang

Detailed Solu�on:

In Java, two packages java.lang package and a no-name package (also called default package) are
imported by default in all the classes of Java. Default Package doesn't have a name but it is present by
default and thus, it is named the default package. Java Virtual Machine imports these packages by
default in Java internally. And that is the reason we are able to access all the classes of these packages.
We are not required to explicitly import java.lang package or any of its classes like we import other
packages and their classes such as java.math or java.util.

a. Compiler Error
b. Run�me Error
c. Welcome!
d. None of the above

Correct Answer:

c. Welcome!

Detailed Solu�on:

Sta�c import is a feature introduced in Java programming language (versions 5 and above) that allows
members (fields and methods) defined in a class as public static to be used in Java code without
specifying the class in which the field is defined. The only �me we need to pay aten�on to packages is
when we have a name conflict . For example both, java.util and java.sql packages have a class
named Date. So if we import java.util.*; and import java.sql.*; then the compiler
will not be able to figure out which Date class do we want.

c. inside FINALLY
d. Compiler error

Correct Answer:

b. inside TRY
inside FINALLY

Detailed Solu�on:

Even if a RETURN statement is present at the last line of TRY block, the control is not returned to the
calling method. The JVM searches for the suitable FINALLY block and executes it before returning. So, the
FINALLY block has higher priority than a RETURN statement.

QUESTION 10:

What is the purpose of the finally block in Java exception handling?

a. To handle an excep�on
b. To catch an excep�on
c. To clean up resources a�er a try block
d. None of the above

Correct Answer:

c. To clean up resources a�er a try block

Detailed Solu�on:

The purpose of the finally block in Java excep�on handling is to clean up resources a�er a try block. The
finally block is executed whether or not an excep�on is thrown in the try block. It is typically used to
release resources such as open files, database connec�ons, or network sockets that were acquired in the
try block. The finally block ensures that these resources are released even if an excep�on is thrown,
which helps prevent resource leaks and other issues. The finally block is op�onal, but it is good prac�ce
to use it when dealing with resources that need to be released.

QUESTION 2:
What is the output of the following program?

public class Nptel extends Thread {

public void run() {

for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.print(i++ + " ");
}
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

Nptel t1 = new Nptel();
t1.run();
}
}

a. 1 3

b. 1 2 3 4

c. Run�me error

d. 1 2

Correct Answer:

a. 1 3

Detailed Solu�on:

Inside the for loop, the increment opera�on i++ is used, which is a post-increment opera�on. This
means that the increment happens a�er the value of i is used. But since this increment opera�on is
inside the print statement, it will increment i by 1 right a�er prin�ng it, effec�vely skipping every other
number. So, the output of this code will be: “1 3”
This is because the i++ opera�on inside the System.out.print statement causes i to increment
by an addi�onal 1 each �me through the loop, resul�ng in only the odd numbers between 1 and 3 being
printed.

Which of the following line(s) of code is suitable to START a thread at #1?

class Nptel extends Thread {

public static void main(String args[]) {

/* Missing code */
_______________________ // #1
}

public void run() {}

}

a. Thread t = new Thread(Nptel);

b. Thread t = new Thread(Nptel);

t.start();

c. Nptel run = new Nptel();

Thread t = new Thread(run);
t.start();

d. Thread t = new Thread();

Nptel.run();

Correct Answer:

c. Nptel run = new Nptel();

Thread t = new Thread(run);
t.start();

Detailed Solu�on:

An instance of the Nptel class is created. This class should implement the Runnable interface, which
means it must have a run method. This run method contains the code that will be executed in the new
thread. (Nptel run = new Nptel();)
A new Thread object is created, passing the Nptel instance (run) to the Thread constructor.
This tells the Thread that it should execute the run method of the Nptel instance in the new thread.
(Thread t = new Thread(run);)
The start method of the Thread instance is called. This method starts the new thread and calls the
run method of the Nptel instance in that new thread. (t.start();) So, the run method of the
Nptel instance will be executed in a new thread, separate from the main thread of the applica�on.

QUESTION 5:

What does the following code do?

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("test.dat");

a. It creates a new file named test.dat if it does not exist and opens the file so you can write to
it, if write permission is available.

b. It thows an error if the file named test.dat does not exist and opens the file, if it exists, so you
can read from it and write into it, if write permission is available.

c. It creates a new file named test.dat regardless of whether it exists or not and opens the file so
you can write to it, if write permission is available.

d. It creates a new file named test.dat regardless of whether it exists or not and opens the file so
you can read from it and write to it, if write permission is available.

Correct Answer:

b. It thows an error if the file named test.dat does not exist and opens the file, if it exists, so you
can read from it and write into it, if write permission is available.

Detailed Solu�on:

The provided Java code is crea�ng a FileInputStream object. FileInputStream is a class in

Java that is used for reading data from files. It's part of the Java I/O (Input/Output) package. The string
"test.dat" is the path to the file. If only a filename is provided (like in this case), Java will look for the file
in the current directory of the program. If the file is located in a different directory, you would need to
provide the full path to the file.
Once the FileInputStream is created, you can use its methods to read data from the file. For
example, the read method can be used to read a single byte of data from the file, and the
read(byte[] b) method can be used to read up to b.length bytes of data from the file into an
array of bytes.
