## Java

#### Q1. Given the string "strawberries" saved in a variable called fruit, what would `fruit.substring(2, 5)` return?

- [ ] rawb
- [x] 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).

#### Q2. How can you achieve runtime polymorphism in Java?

- [ ] method overloading
- [ ] method overrunning
- [x] method overriding
- [ ] method calling

#### Q3. Given the following definitions, which of these expression will **NOT** evaluate to true?

`boolean b1 = true, b2 = false; int i1 = 1, i2 = 2;`

- [ ] `(i1 | i2) == 3`
- [x] `i2 && b1`
- [ ] `b1 || !b2`
- [ ] `(i1 ^ i2) < 4`

#### Q4. <DUPLICATE OF Q34>

#### Q5. What is the output of this code?

```java
1: class Main {
2: public static void main (String[] args) {
3: int array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
4: for (int i = 0; i < array.size(); i++) {
5: System.out.print(array);
6: }
7: }
8: }
```

- [x] It will not compile because of line 4.
- [ ] It will not compile because of line 3.
- [ ] 123
- [ ] 1234

#### Q6. Which of the following can replace the CODE SNIPPET to make the code below print "Hello World"?

```java
interface Interface1 {
static void print() {
System.out.print("Hello");
}
}

interface Interface2 {
static void print() {
System.out.print("World!");
}
}
```

- [ ] `super1.print(); super2.print();`
- [ ] `this.print();`
- [ ] `super.print();`
- [x] `Interface1.print(); Interface2.print();`

#### Q7. What does the following code print?

```java
String str = "abcde";
str.trim();
str.toUpperCase();
str.substring(3, 4);
System.out.println(str);
```

- [ ] CD
- [ ] CDE
- [ ] D
- [x] "abcde"

#### Q8. What is the result of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main (String[] args){
System.out.println(print(1));
}
static Exception print(int i){
if (i>0) {
return new Exception();
} else {
throw new RuntimeException();
}
}
}
```

- [ ] It will show a stack trace with a runtime exception.
- [x] "java.lang.Exception"
- [ ] It will run and throw an exception.
- [ ] It will not compile.

#### Q9. Which class can compile given these declarations?

```java
interface One {
default void method() {
System.out.println("One");
}
}

interface Two {
default void method () {
System.out.println("One");
}
}
```

- [ ] A

```java
class Three implements One, Two {
public void method() {
super.One.method();
}
}
```

- [ ] B

```java
class Three implements One, Two {
public void method() {
One.method();
}
}
```

- [ ] C

```java
class Three implements One, Two {
}
```

- [x] D

```java
class Three implements One, Two {
public void method() {
One.super.method();
}
}
```

#### Q10. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main (String[] args) {
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add("hello");
list.add(2);
System.out.print(list.get(0) instanceof Object);
System.out.print(list.get(1) instanceof Integer);
}
}
```

- [ ] The code does not compile.
- [ ] truefalse
- [x] truetrue
- [ ] falsetrue

#### Q11. Given the following two classes, what will be the output of the Main class?

```java
package mypackage;
public class Math {
public static int abs(int num){
return num < 0 ? -num : num;
}
}
package mypackage.elementary;
public class Math {
public static int abs (int num) {
return -num;
}
}
```

```java
import mypackage.Math;
import mypackage.elementary.*;

class Main {
public static void main (String args[]){
System.out.println(Math.abs(123));
}
}
```

- [ ] Lines 1 and 2 generate compiler errors due to class name conflicts.
- [ ] "-123"
- [ ] It will throw an exception on line 5.
- [x] "123"

**Explanation:** `The answer is "123". The `abs()` method evaluates to the one inside mypackage.Math class.`

#### Q12. What is the result of this code?

```java
1: class MainClass {
2: final String message(){
3: return "Hello!";
4: }
5: }

6: class Main extends MainClass {
7: public static void main(String[] args) {
8: System.out.println(message());
9: }

10: String message(){
11: return "World!";
12: }
13: }
```

- [x] It will not compile because of line 10.
- [ ] "Hello!"
- [ ] It will not compile because of line 2.
- [ ] "World!"

**Explanation:** Non-static method message() cannot be referenced from a static context.

#### Q13. Given this code, which command will output "2"?

```java
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(args[2]);
}
}
```

- [ ] `java Main 1 2 "3 4" 5`
- [x] `java Main 1 "2" "2" 5`
- [ ] `java Main.class 1 "2" 2 5`
- [ ] `java Main 1 "2" "3 4" 5`

#### Q14. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
int a = 123451234512345;
System.out.println(a);
}
}
```

- [ ] "123451234512345"
- [x] 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.

#### Q15. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String message = "Hello world!";
String newMessage = message.substring(6, 12)
+ message.substring(12, 6);
System.out.println(newMessage);
}
}
```

- [ ] The code does not compile.
- [x] A runtime exception is thrown.
- [ ] "world!!world"
- [ ] "world!world!"

#### Q16. How do you write a foreach loop that will iterate over ArrayList\<Pencil\>pencilCase?

- [x] `for (Pencil pencil : pencilCase) {}`
- [ ] `for (pencilCase.next()) {}`
- [ ] `for (Pencil pencil : pencilCase.iterator()) {}`
- [ ] `for (pencil in pencilCase) {}`

#### Q17. <DUPLICATE of Q30>

#### Q18. <DUPICATE OF Q31>

```java
System.out.print("apple".compareTo("banana"));
```

- [ ] `0`
- [ ] positive number
- [x] negative number
- [ ] compilation error

#### Q20. You have an ArrayList of names that you want to sort alphabetically. Which approach would **NOT** work?

- [ ] `names.sort(Comparator.comparing(String::toString))`
- [ ] `Collections.sort(names)`
- [x] `names.sort(List.DESCENDING)`
- [ ] `names.stream().sorted((s1, s2) -> s1.compareTo(s2)).collect(Collectors.toList())`

#### Q21. By implementing encapsulation, you cannot directly access the class's \_ properties unless you are writing code inside the class itself.

- [x] private
- [ ] protected
- [ ] no-modifier
- [ ] public

#### Q22. Which is the most up-to-date way to instantiate the current date?

- [ ] `new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(new Date())`
- [ ] `new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())`
- [x] `LocalDate.now()`
- [ ] `Calendar.getInstance().getTime()`

**Explanation**: LocalDate is newest class added in java 8

#### Q23. Fill in the blank to create a piece of code that will tell whether `int0` is divisible by `5`:

`boolean isDivisibleBy5 = _____`

- [ ] `int0 / 5 ? true: false`
- [x] `int0 % 5 == 0`
- [ ] `int0 % 5 != 5`
- [ ] `Math.isDivisible(int0, 5)`

#### Q24. How many times will this code print "Hello World!"?

```java
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
for (int i=0; i<10; i=i++){
i+=1;
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
}
```

- [x] 10 times
- [ ] 9 times
- [ ] 5 times
- [ ] infinite number of times

**Explanation**: Observe the loop increment. It's not an increment, it's an assignment(post).

#### Q25. The runtime system starts your program by calling which function first?

- [ ] print
- [ ] iterative
- [ ] hello
- [x] main

#### 26. What code would you use in Constructor A to call Constructor B?

```java
public class Jedi {
/* Constructor A */
Jedi(String name, String species){}

/* Constructor B */
Jedi(String name, String species, boolean followsTheDarkSide){}
}
```

- [ ] Jedi(name, species, false)
- [ ] new Jedi(name, species, false)
- [x] this(name, species, false)

System.out.println(list);
}
}
```

- [x] [5, 1, 10]
- [ ] [10, 5, 1]
- [ ] [1, 5, 10]
- [ ] [10, 1, 5]

#### Q29. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
String message = "Hello";
for (int i = 0; i<message.length(); i++){
System.out.print(message.charAt(i+1));
}
}
}
```

- [ ] "Hello"
- [x] A runtime exception is thrown.
- [ ] The code does not compile.
- [ ] "ello"

#### Q30. Object-oriented programming is a style of programming where you organize your program around \_ rather than \_ and data rather than logic.

- [ ] functions; actions
- [x] objects; actions
- [ ] actions; functions

}
```

- [ ] A runtime exception is thrown.
- [ ] 3false
- [ ] 2true
- [x] 3true

#### Q33. What is the result of this code?

```java
1: class Main {
2: Object message(){

4: }
5: public static void main(String[] args) {
6: System.out.print(new Main().message());
7: System.out.print(new Main2().message());
8: }
9: }
10: class Main2 extends Main {
11: String message(){
12: return "World!";
13: }
14: }
```

- [ ] It will not compile because of line 7.
- [ ] Hello!Hello!
- [x] Hello!World!
- [ ] It will not compile because of line 11.

#### Q34. What method can be used to create a new instance of an object?

- [ ] another instance
- [ ] field

} finally {
System.out.println("D");
}
}
public static void badMethod() {
throw new Error();
}
```

- [ ] A, B, and D
- [ ] A, C, and D
- [ ] C and D
- [x] A and D

**Explanation**: `Error` is not inherited from `Exception`

#### Q37. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
static int count = 0;
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (count < 3) {
count++;
main(null);
} else {

}
}
```

- [ ] It will throw a runtime exception.

```java
import java.util.*;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] array = {"abc", "2", "10", "0"};
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(array);
Collections.sort(list);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));
}
}
```

- [ ] [abc, 0, 2, 10]
- [ ] The code does not compile.
- [ ] [abc, 2, 10, 0]
- [x] [0, 10, 2, abc]

**Explanation**: The `java.util.Arrays.asList(T... a)` returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array. (Changes to the returned list "write through" to the array.)

#### Q39. What is the output of this code?

```java
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String message = "Hello";
print(message);

- [ ] Hello HelloWorld!

#### Q40. What is displayed when this code is compiled and executed?

```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 5;
x = 10;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
```

- [ ] x
- [ ] null
- [x] 10
- [ ] 5

#### Q41. Which approach cannot be used to iterate over a List named _theList_?

System.out.println(object);
}
```

- [x] C

Iterator it = theList.iterator();
for (it.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(it.next());
}
```

theList.forEach(System.out::println);
```

**Explanation:** `for (it.hasNext())` should be `while (it.hasNext())`.

#### Q42. What method signature will work with this code?

`boolean healthyOrNot = isHealthy("avocado");`

- [ ] public void isHealthy(String avocado)
- [x] boolean isHealthy(String string)

- [ ] A network connection has been lost in the middle of communications.
- [ ] Your code has used up all available memory.
- [x] The object you are using has not been instantiated.

#### Q48. How would you fix this code so that it compiles?

```java
public class Nosey {
int age;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Your age is: " + age);
}
}
```

- [x] Make age static.
- [ ] Make age global.
- [ ] Make age public.
- [ ] Initialize age to a number.

#### Q49. Add a Duck called "Waddles" to the ArrayList **ducks**.

```java

}
```

- [ ] `Duck waddles = new Duck();`
`ducks.add(waddles);`
- [ ] `Duck duck = new Duck("Waddles");`
`ducks.add(waddles);`
- [x] `ducks.add(new Duck("Waddles"));`
- [ ] `ducks.add(new Waddles());`

#### Q50. If you encounter `UnsupportedClassVersionError` it means the code was `___` on a newer version of Java than the JRE `___` it.

#### Q51. Given this class, how would you make the code compile?

```java
public class TheClass {
private final int x;
}
```

- [ ] A

```java
public TheClass() {
x += 77;
}
```

- [ ] B

```java
public TheClass() {
x = null;
}
```

- [x] C

```java
public TheClass() {
x = 77;
}
```

- [ ] D

```java
private void setX(int x) {
this.x = x;
}
public TheClass() {
setX(77);
}
```

**Explanation:** `final` class members are allowed to be assigned only in two places: declaration and constructor

#### Q52. How many times f will be printed?

```java
public class Solution {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 44; i > 40; i--) {
System.out.println("f");
}
}
}
```

- [x] 4
- [ ] 3
- [ ] 5
- [ ] A Runtime exception will be thrown

#### Q53. Which statements about `abstract` classes are true?

```
1. They can be instantiated.
2. They allow member variables and methods to be inherited by subclasses.
3. They can contain constructors.
```

- [ ] 1, 2, and 3
- [ ] only 3
- [x] 2 and 3
- [ ] only 2

#### Q54. Which keyword lets you call the constructor of a parent class?

- [ ] parent
- [x] super
- [ ] this
- [ ] new

#### Q55. What is the result of this code?

```java
1: int a = 1;
2: int b = 0;
3: int c = a/b;
4: System.out.println(c);
```

- [x] 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?

- [x] 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.

#### Q57. Which keyword lets you use an interface?

- [ ] extends
- [x] implements
- [ ] inherits
- [ ] import

#### Q58. Why are ArrayLists better than arrays?

- [x] 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.

#### Q59. Declare a variable that holds the first four digits of Π

- [ ] int pi = 3.141;
- [ ] decimal pi = 3.141;
- [x] double pi = 3.141;
- [ ] float pi = 3.141;

**Reasoning:**

```java
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.
```

#### Q60. Use the magic power to cast a spell

```java
public class MagicPower {
void castSpell(String spell) {}
}
```

- [x] `new MagicPower().castSpell("expecto patronum")`
- [ ] `MagicPower magicPower = new MagicPower();`
`magicPower.castSpell();`
- [ ] `MagicPower.castSpell("expelliarmus");`
- [ ] `new MagicPower.castSpell();`

#### Q61. What language construct serves as a blueprint containing an object's properties and functionality?

- [ ] constructor
- [ ] instance
- [x] class
- [ ] method

#### Q62. What does this code print?

```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x=5,y=10;
swapsies(x,y);
System.out.println(x+" "+y);
}

static void swapsies(int a, int b) {
int temp=a;
a=b;
b=temp;
}
```

- [ ] 10 10
- [x] 5 10
- [ ] 10 5
- [ ] 5 5

#### Q63. What is the result of this code?

```java
try {
System.out.println("Hello World");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("e");
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
System.out.println("e");
} finally {
System.out.println("!");
}
```

- [ ] Hello World
- [x] It will not compile because the second catch statement is unreachable
- [ ] Hello World!
- [ ] It will throw runtime exception

#### Q64. What is not a java keyword

- [ ] finally
- [ ] native
- [ ] interface
- [x] unsigned

**Explanation:** `native` is a part of JNI interface

#### Q65. Which operator would you use to find the remainder after division?

- [x] `%`
- [ ] `//`
- [ ] `/`
- [ ] `DIV`

[Reference](http://www.cs.ukzn.ac.za/~hughm/java/in ... k2/21.html)

#### Q66. Which choice is a disadvantage of inheritance?

- [ ] Overridden methods of the parent class cannot be reused.
- [ ] Responsibilities are not evenly distributed between parent and child classes.
- [x] Classes related by inheritance are tightly coupled to each other.
- [ ] The internal state of the parent class is accessible to its children.

[Reference](http://erpbasic.blogspot.com/2012/01/in ... t%20method.)

#### Q67. Declare and initialize an array of 10 ints.

- [ ] `Array<Integer> numbers = new Array<Integer>(10);`
- [ ] `Array[int] numbers = new Array[int](10);`
- [x] `int[] numbers = new int[10];`
- [ ] `int numbers[] = int[10];`

#### Q68. Refactor this event handler to a lambda expression:

```java
groucyButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Press me one more time..");
}
});
```

- [ ] `groucyButton.addActionListener(ActionListener listener -> System.out.println("Press me one more time..."));`
- [x] `groucyButton.addActionListener((event) -> System.out.println("Press me one more time..."));`
- [ ] `groucyButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener(ActionEvent e) {() -> System.out.println("Press me one more time...");});`
- [ ] `groucyButton.addActionListener(() -> System.out.println("Press me one more time..."));`

[Reference](https://www.codejava.net/java-core/the- ... er-example)

#### Q69. Which functional interfaces does Java provide to serve as data types for lambda expressions?

- [ ] Observer, Observable
- [ ] Collector, Builder
- [ ] Filter, Map, Reduce
- [x] Consumer, Predicate, Supplier

[Reference](https://www.baeldung.com/java-8-functional-interfaces)

#### Q86. Which change will make this code compile successfully?

```java
1: public class Main {
2: String MESSAGE ="Hello!";
3: static void print(){
4: System.out.println(message);
5: }
6: void print2(){}
7: }
