    Java is case-sensitive

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Java is case-sensitive because it distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters in its syntax. This means that variables, methods, and classes must be written with the exact same capitalization each time they are referenced. For example, if a variable is declared as "myVariable", it cannot be referenced as "myvariable" or "MYVARIABLE". This case-sensitivity allows Java to differentiate between different identifiers and ensures that the correct elements are being referenced in the code.

    Every statement in Java must be terminated by:

    • A full stop

    • A semicolon

    • Nothing

    • A bracket

    • A colon

    Correct Answer
    A. A semicolon
    Explanation
    In Java, every statement must be terminated by a semicolon. This is a fundamental rule in the syntax of the Java programming language. The semicolon acts as a delimiter to mark the end of a statement and allows the compiler to understand the structure of the code. Without a semicolon, the code would result in a compilation error. Therefore, it is essential to include a semicolon at the end of each statement in Java.

    Program comments are non-executing statements.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Program comments are non-executing statements that are used to provide explanations or documentation within a program's code. They are ignored by the compiler or interpreter and do not affect the execution of the program. Comments are typically used to make the code more readable and understandable for other programmers or for future reference. They can also be used to temporarily disable a piece of code without deleting it. Therefore, the statement "Program comments are non-executing statements" is true.

    All Java applications must have a main() method

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In Java, the main() method is the entry point of any application. It is a mandatory method that is required in every Java application. The main() method is where the program starts its execution and it is responsible for invoking other methods and performing necessary operations. Without a main() method, the Java program would not be able to run or execute any code. Therefore, it is essential for all Java applications to have a main() method.

    • Int

    • Float

    • Double

    • Boolean

    Correct Answer
    A. Boolean
    Explanation
    The correct answer is boolean because it is the only variable data type that can hold only two values, true or false. Int, float, and double are numerical data types that can hold a range of values, whereas boolean is specifically designed to represent logical values.

    Which of the following arithmetic operators will give you the remainder after dividing?

    • +

    • /

    • *

    • %

    Correct Answer
    A. %
    Explanation
    The arithmetic operator % is known as the modulus operator, which gives the remainder after dividing two numbers. Therefore, when using the % operator, the result will be the remainder of the division operation.

    An error that occurs when you introduce typing errors into your program is known as :

    • Logical error

    • Syntax error

    • Red-line error

    • Type mismatch

    Correct Answer
    A. Syntax error
    Explanation
    A syntax error occurs when there are mistakes in the structure or syntax of a program. This means that the code does not follow the correct rules and grammar of the programming language. Typing errors, such as misspelled keywords or missing punctuation, can result in syntax errors. These errors prevent the program from being compiled or executed successfully.

    Java source files are saved with the extension:

    • .doc

    • .javadoc

    • .java

    • .class

    Correct Answer
    A. .java
    Explanation
    Java source files are saved with the extension ".java" because it is the standard file extension for Java source code files. This allows the Java compiler to recognize and process the file as a Java source code file. Other file extensions like ".doc" are not used for Java source files as they are typically used for word processing documents, while ".javadoc" is used for generated documentation files, and ".class" is used for compiled Java bytecode files.

    Which data type can I use to store my surname?

    • Boolean

    • Char

    • String

    • Byte

    Correct Answer
    A. String
    Explanation
    A string data type can be used to store a surname because it can hold a sequence of characters, such as letters, numbers, and symbols. Unlike other data types mentioned, like boolean or byte, a string can accommodate multiple characters and is suitable for storing textual information like a surname.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which data type can I use to store the first letter of my surname?

    • Boolean

    • Char

    • String

    • Byte

    Correct Answer
    A. Char
    Explanation
    The data type "char" can be used to store a single character, such as the first letter of a surname. It is the most appropriate data type for this purpose as it specifically represents individual characters. The other data types listed (boolean, string, and byte) are not designed to store individual characters in the same way as the "char" data type.

    Java programming language is modeled after which language?

    • C#

    • C

    • C++

    • Python

    Correct Answer
    A. C++
    Explanation
    Java programming language is modeled after C++ because Java was designed to be similar to C++ in terms of syntax and structure. Both languages share many similarities, such as the use of classes, objects, and inheritance. Additionally, Java borrowed several features from C++, including the concept of pointers (although Java does not allow direct manipulation of pointers like C++ does). The goal of modeling Java after C++ was to make it easier for C++ programmers to transition to Java and leverage their existing knowledge and skills.

    Which data type can I use to store my salary in Java?

    • Int

    • Long

    • Double

    • Real

    Correct Answer
    A. Double
    Explanation
    In Java, the "double" data type can be used to store the salary. The "double" data type is a floating-point type that can hold decimal values and provides a wider range of values compared to the "int" and "long" data types. The "real" data type does not exist in Java, so it is not a valid option for storing the salary.

    API stands for:

    • Application program interface

    • Application programming interface

    • Applications in Program interchange

    Correct Answer
    A. Application programming interface
    Explanation
    API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs define the methods and formats that should be used for data exchange between applications, enabling developers to create new software by utilizing existing functionality. This allows for seamless integration and interoperability between different systems and applications, making it easier for developers to build complex software solutions.

    The file containing Java programming statements is also known as:

    • Byte code

    • Source code

    • .java file

    • Input file

    Correct Answer
    A. Source code
    Explanation
    The file containing Java programming statements is commonly referred to as the "source code". This file contains the human-readable instructions and commands written in Java programming language. It serves as the input for the Java compiler, which translates the source code into bytecode that can be executed by the Java Virtual Machine.

  • 16. 

    The Java machine-independent code is called:

    • Source code

    • .java file

    • Byte code

    • Output file

    Correct Answer
    A. Byte code
    Explanation
    Byte code is the correct answer because it refers to the machine-independent code generated by the Java compiler. This code is not directly executable by the computer's processor, but it can be interpreted and executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM converts the byte code into machine code that is specific to the underlying operating system and hardware, allowing Java programs to run on any platform that has a compatible JVM. Therefore, byte code serves as an intermediate representation of the Java program that enables portability and platform independence.

    • System.out.printin("Hello World");

    • System.out.println("Hello World")

    Correct Answer
    A. System.out.println("Hello World");
    Explanation
    The correct way to display "Hello World" on the screen in Java is by using the statement System.out.println("Hello World");. This statement will print the string "Hello World" followed by a new line.

    • Applets

    • Servlets

    • Classes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Applications
    A. Applets
    A. Servlets
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Applications, Applets, and Servlets. These are the three main types of programs that can be written using Java. Applications are standalone programs that can be run on a computer or a mobile device. Applets are small programs that are embedded in webpages and run within a web browser. Servlets are Java programs that run on a web server and generate dynamic web content. These three types of programs allow developers to create a wide range of applications and web-based solutions using Java programming language.

    Java applications can be further subdivided into 2 of the following applications:

    • Applets applications

    • Console applications

    • Project applications

    • Windowed applications

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Console applications
    A. Windowed applications
    Explanation
    Java applications can be further subdivided into two types: console applications and windowed applications.

    Console applications are text-based applications that run in a command-line interface. They interact with the user through text input and output. These applications are typically used for tasks that do not require a graphical user interface, such as data processing or system administration.

    Windowed applications, on the other hand, have a graphical user interface and run in a windowing system. They provide a visual interface for users to interact with the application using buttons, menus, and other graphical elements. These applications are commonly used for tasks that require a more interactive and visually appealing user experience.

    Therefore, the correct answer is Console applications and Windowed applications.

    Which of the following are Java reserved words?

    • Integer

    • Public

    • Bool

    • Age

    • Divide

    • Variable

    • Double

    • Do

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Public
    A. Double
    A. Do
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the words "public," "double," and "do." These are Java reserved words because they have specific meanings and uses in the Java programming language. "public" is a keyword used to declare that a method or variable can be accessed from other classes. "double" is a data type used to represent decimal numbers. "do" is a keyword used to start a do-while loop, which executes a block of code at least once before checking a condition.
