Which of the following statement is true regarding constructors?
- A.
Abstract classes cannot have constructors
- B.
Default Constructors are Optional for all classes
- C.
can be overloaded across inherited classes
- D.
Default Constructors are optional only for the classes that does not have constructors
Correct Answer
D. Default Constructors are optional only for the classes that does not have constructorsExplanation
The correct answer is that default constructors are optional only for the classes that do not have constructors. This means that if a class does not have any constructors defined, the compiler will automatically provide a default constructor. However, if a class already has one or more constructors defined, the default constructor must be explicitly defined if it is needed.Rate this question:

Which of the following keyword is used to define user-defined annotation type?
- A.
Interface
- B.
Annotate
- C.
Annotation
- D.
Meta
- E.
Metadata
Correct Answer
A. InterfaceExplanation
The correct answer is "Interface" because user-defined annotation types in Java are defined using the keyword "interface". Annotations are a way to add metadata or additional information to code, and by defining annotation types using the "interface" keyword, users can create their own custom annotations with specific properties and behaviors.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 1,2,3Explanation
The correct answer is 1, 2, and 3. These annotation types (Deprecated, Override, and SuppressWarnings) are predefined by the language specification itself. Annotation types are used to provide metadata about the program elements like classes, methods, and variables. The Deprecated annotation indicates that a program element is no longer recommended for use. The Override annotation is used to indicate that a method is intended to override a method in a superclass. The SuppressWarnings annotation is used to suppress specific compiler warnings.Rate this question:

Which of the following is true about Annotations?
- A.
An annotation is a special kind of modifier
- B.
An annotation can be declared at public, private, protected and package access levels
- C.
Annotation methods allow wrapper types as its return types, as an alternative to its equivalent primitive types
- D.
Annotations can replace interfaces in Java
Correct Answer
A. An annotation is a special kind of modifierExplanation
Annotations are a special kind of modifier in Java. Unlike other modifiers such as public, private, protected, or package, annotations provide additional information about the code but do not directly modify its behavior. They can be used to add metadata, specify constraints, or enable certain functionalities. Annotations are declared using the @ symbol followed by the annotation name. They can be applied to various program elements such as classes, methods, variables, or parameters. Annotations are widely used in Java for documentation purposes, code analysis, and frameworks like Spring and Hibernate.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements give the advantages of using a Generic Collection? 1) Thread Safety 2) Type Safety 3) JVM Safety 4) Automatic Type Casting 5) Quicker Garbage Collection
- A.
2,3
- B.
1,2
- C.
4,5
- D.
2,4
- E.
1,5
Correct Answer
D. 2,4Explanation
Using a Generic Collection provides type safety, which means that the collection can only store objects of a specific type, preventing type errors at compile-time. It also allows for automatic type casting, which means that there is no need for explicit casting when retrieving objects from the collection. However, the advantages of thread safety, JVM safety, and quicker garbage collection are not directly related to using a Generic Collection.Rate this question:

Consider the following scenario: A java application needs to load all the rows as objects from a database table and keep it in the memory, with the following features: * An object should be fetched based on the primary key * When a new object is added to the memory, it should get inserted to the database table * When an existing object is removed, the corresponding row should be removed from the database * When any changes are made to the object the changes have to be updated to the database. Which of the following collection implementation would be suitable for the above scenario?
- A.
Linked list
- B.
Hash set
- C.
Array list
- D.
Hash map
Correct Answer
D. Hash mapExplanation
A hash map would be suitable for the given scenario because it allows for efficient retrieval of objects based on a key, which in this case would be the primary key. It also allows for easy insertion and removal of objects, as well as updating changes to the database. A hash map provides constant time complexity for basic operations such as get, put, remove, and update, making it a suitable choice for this scenario.Rate this question:

Two Client Systems A and B are connected to a Server. Client A keeps sending some messages asynchronously to Client B through the Server. The server keeps track of all the messages coming from Client A and dispatches it in the same sequences how it is received from Client A. The messages sent by Client A is delivered to Client B after a short time delay. Which of the following collection implementation the server should use to handle the messages sent by Client A?
- A.
Hash map
- B.
Hash set
- C.
Queue
- D.
Stack
- E.
Array list
Correct Answer
C. QueueExplanation
The server should use a Queue to handle the messages sent by Client A. A Queue is a data structure that follows the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle, meaning that the first message received from Client A will be the first one to be delivered to Client B. This ensures that the messages are dispatched in the same sequence they are received from Client A, which is a requirement mentioned in the question.Rate this question:

Consider the following scenario: An ArrayList is populated with the names of all the employees in a company. Now the names start with the string "AR" should only be removed from the list. Which of the following option gives the correct interface that helps to accomplish the above task?{
- A.
Remover
- B.
Enumerator
- C.
Enumeration
- D.
Iterator
- E.
Comaprator
Correct Answer
D. IteratorExplanation
The correct interface that helps accomplish the task of removing names starting with "AR" from the ArrayList is the iterator interface. The iterator interface provides methods like hasNext() to check if there are more elements in the list, and next() to retrieve the next element. By using the iterator, we can iterate over the ArrayList and remove any names that start with "AR" using the remove() method. This allows us to modify the ArrayList while iterating over it, ensuring that all the names starting with "AR" are removed.Rate this question:

What will be the result of compiling and running the following Java program? class ThreadTest extends Thread { private static int threadCounter = 0; public void run() { threadCounter++; System.out.println(threadCounter); } public static void main(String[] args) { for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { new ThreadTest().start(); } } }
- A.
The program will output numbers 1 to 5 in ascending order.
- B.
The program will output numbers 1 to 5 in any order.
- C.
The program may throw a runtime exception due to concurrent access.
- D.
The output can include repeated numbers among 1 to 5.
Correct Answer
D. The output can include repeated numbers among 1 to 5.Explanation
The program defines a class ThreadTest that extends Thread. Each thread increments a static integer threadCounter and prints its value. Since threadCounter is static, it is shared among all instances of ThreadTest. The increment operation (threadCounter++) is not atomic and consists of three separate steps: read the value, increment it, and write it back. Without synchronization, multiple threads can interleave in these steps, leading to race conditions. This means several threads might read the same value of threadCounter before any of them writes back the incremented value. As a result, the same number can be printed multiple times, and some numbers may not appear at all. The output is nondeterministic and depends on how the threads are scheduled.Rate this question:

Which of the following statement is true?
- A.
Has-a relationships always rely on inheritance
- B.
Has-a relationships always rely on instance variables
- C.
Has-a relationships always require at least two class types
- D.
Has-a relationships always rely on polymorphism
Correct Answer
B. Has-a relationships always rely on instance variablesExplanation
Has-a relationships in object-oriented programming refer to the concept of one class having a reference to another class as an instance variable. This allows the class to use the functionality and properties of the other class. Therefore, the statement "Has-a relationships always rely on instance variables" is true. Instance variables are used to establish the relationship between classes and enable one class to have access to the objects and methods of another class.Rate this question:

- B.
Public void getNum() { }
- C.
Public float getNum() { return 4.0f; }
- D.
Public double getNum(float d) { return 4.0d; }
Correct Answer
B. Public void getNum() { }Explanation
The correct answer is "public void getNum() { }". This method has the same name and return type as the method in the superclass, which violates the rule of method overriding. When a subclass overrides a method from the superclass, the method signature (name, return type, and parameters) must be the same. Therefore, this method would cause unsuccessful compilation.Rate this question:

Which of the following statement is true regarding the throws declarations for overridden methods?
- A.
The overriding method cannot declare additional exceptions which is not declared in its super class version.
- B.
~When a method in the super class is declared to throw a Checked Exception, the overriding method in the sub class should also declare the same.
- C.
The overriding methods cannot declare to throw the Super Class types of those exceptions declared in the super class methods
- D.
The overriding method cannot re-declare the Unchecked exceptions, that are declared by super class method.
Correct Answer
A. The overriding method cannot declare additional exceptions which is not declared in its super class version.Explanation
The statement is true because when a method is overridden in a subclass, it must adhere to the same or narrower exception requirements as the superclass method. This means that the overriding method cannot declare any additional exceptions that are not already declared in the superclass method. If the superclass method declares a checked exception, the overriding method in the subclass must also declare the same checked exception. Similarly, the overriding method cannot declare the super class types of the exceptions declared in the superclass method. It also cannot re-declare any unchecked exceptions that are already declared by the superclass method.Rate this question:

- A.
3,4,5
- B.
1,2,3
- C.
2,3,4
- D.
1,3,5
Correct Answer
D. 1,3,5Explanation
1) RuntimeException does not require a throws declaration: This is true because RuntimeException is an unchecked exception, which means that it does not need to be declared in the method signature or handled using a try-catch block.
2) If RuntimeException is declared using throws clause, then the calling method should handle it using try-catch block: This statement is false. As mentioned in the explanation for statement 1, RuntimeException does not require a throws declaration, so there is no need to handle it using a try-catch block.
3) Any class that derives the RuntimeException will always be an unchecked exception: This is true. RuntimeException is a subclass of Exception, and any class that extends RuntimeException will also be an unchecked exception.
4) RuntimeException can be handled using a catch that handles Error: This statement is false. Error is a subclass of Throwable, and RuntimeException is a subclass of Exception. While both Error and Exception are throwable, they are not interchangeable in catch blocks.
5) RuntimeException can be handled using a catch that handles Exception: This statement is true. Since RuntimeException is a subclass of Exception, it can be caught using a catch block that handles Exception.Rate this question:

- D.
Compile Time Error
Correct Answer
D. Compile Time ErrorExplanation
The code will give a compile time error because the catch blocks are in the wrong order. In Java, when catching exceptions, the catch blocks should be ordered from the most specific exception to the least specific exception. In this case, the catch block for LastException should come before the catch block for PreviousException. Since the catch blocks are in the wrong order, the code will not compile.Rate this question:

1,2 only
Correct Answer
A. 1,2,3Explanation
The valid argument types for the main() method are 1) String[] args, 2) String args[], and 3) String ...args. These options represent the different ways in which the main method can accept command-line arguments. Option 1 uses the array syntax with the argument name "args". Option 2 also uses the array syntax, but with the argument name "args" placed after the data type. Option 3 uses varargs syntax, allowing the main method to accept a variable number of arguments as an array of strings.Rate this question:
