Answers and explanations

Question 1: d. An abstract class is defined using the keyword abstract in front of the class
keyword and almost always defines at least one abstract method. An abstract class does not
have to define an abstract method. If there are no abstract methods in an abstract class,
then any subclasses of the abstract class can be instantiated (as long as they are not, in
turn, defined using the abstract keyword). (See chapter 1.)

Question 2: "Runnable". Only classes that implement the Runnable interface (and so are of
type Runnable) can be targets of threads.

Question 3: e. Use the final keyword in front of the class to make the class unable to be
subclassed. (See chapter 1.)

Question 4: b, d. Only "r" and "rw" are legal modes for a RandomAccessFile.

Question 5: c. This code is perfectly fine. (See chapter 1.)

Question 6: a, b, d, and e. The other tries to cast a boolean to an int, which is illegal.

Quesiton 7: c. Since the superclass is abstract and implements Runnable, but does not
supply a run() method, the subclass must supply run() or also be declared abstract. (See
chapter 1.)

Question 8: "InterruptedException" or "IllegalMonitorException".

Question 9: a, c, d, e. superclass, open, close, and integer are not Java keywords. goto is a
keyword, though it isn’t used as of Java 1.1. (See chapter 2.)

Question 10: c. An octal number in Java is preceded by a 0.

Question 11: e. Oh, the tangled web we weave… There are three constructors that come into
play. First, the constructor that thakes an int is invoked. This invokes the constructor that
takes a String. This invokes the no-args constructor, which displays "good-bye." Then, the
constructor that takes a String displays "hello." (See chapter 3.)

Question 12: "s.substring(2, 5)" or "s.substring(2)" or "s.substring(2, s.length())";

Question 13: a. A new String is created based on args[0], but args[0] does not have to be
nulled out before first can be garbage collected. As soon as the line with the label d is
executed, the object that first has referred to is ready to be garbage collected, because there
is no way to recover a reference to this object again. (See chapter 4.)

Question 14: d. The range of integer types goes from minus 2 (number of bits - 1) to 2(number of bits - 1)
minus 1. (See chapter 5.)

Question 15: c. Even though there is an instance variable named index defined in the Car
class, the local or automatic variable named index takes precedence. Since automatic
variables do not have a default value, this code will not compile because it is uninitialized
when we attempt to access the element in the args array. (See chapter 5.)

Question 16: e. There’s nothing wrong with this code. 100 0's will appear in the standard
output. (See chapter 5.)

Question 17: a, b, c. The elements in arrays are initialized to their default values: 0, 0.0, null,
false, or \u0000, depending on the data type.

Question 18: "getParameter"

Question 19: c. Assigning a subclass type to a superclass type is perfectly legal and will run
fine at runtime.

Question 20: a. You cannot assign an object to a sibling object reference, even with casting.

Question 21: "c = ‘\u30A0’;" You can set a char to a Unicode sequence by matching the
template \udddd, where dddd are four hexadecimal digits representing the Unicode character
you want. (See chapter 5.)

Question 22: b. Only + and += are overloaded for String objects.

Question 23: b. Changing the break statement to break middle will break out of the loop
named using the label middle and continue with the next iteration of the outer loop. The
statement continue outer would also have this effect. (See chapter 7.)

Question 24: c. NumberFormatException will be handled in the catch clause for Exception.
Then, regardless of the return statements, the finally clause will be executed before control
returns to the calling method. (See chapter 8.)

Question 25: a. An explicit cast is needed to assign a superclass type to a subclass type.

Question 26: b. If the object contained in a is not actually a Subclass1 object, the
assignment will cause Java to throw a CastClassException. That would be the case in the
code in this example.
Question 27: "IOException" or "java.io.IOException"

Question 28: c. A method in a subclass cannot add new exception types that it might throw.
Since it’s superclass, Second, does not define any exceptions in its test() method, Third
can’t either. (See chapter 8.)

Question 29: c. The method with all double parameters is actually the only version of test()
that the Java Virtual Machine can legally coerce the numbers to. The reason the other
versions of test() are not invoked is that at least one of the parameters would have to be
automatically coerced from a type with greater accuracy to a type with less accuracy, which
is illegal. (See chapter 9.)

Question 30: c. The Math method floor() finds the integer closest to but less than the
parameter to floor(). The methods round() and ceil() would both result in 91, and min()
and max() both require two parameters. (See chapter 10.)

Question 31: "disable"

Question 32: a. Both ceil() and round() will produce 15 from 14.9. The floor() method
yields 14. (See chapter 10.)

Question 33: a, b, c, d. The methods Java defines for trig operations include sin(), asin(),
cos(), and tan(). (See chapter 10.)

Question 34: d. The method equalsIgnoreCase() would return true for the two Strings a and b
in the question. (See chapter 10.)

Question 35: d. The method substring() starts at the first index, inclusive, with 0 being the
first character), and ends at the end index - 1 (that is, exclusive of the end index). (See
chapter 10.)

Question 36: d. This is the default access control for methods and member variables.

Question 37: b. The concat() method appends the characters passed to it to the characters
in the String responding to the method call. The concat() method creates a new String, since
Strings cannot be changed once they are created. (See chapter 10.)

Question 38: a. The first line creates a File object that represents the file. By creating a
FileOutputStream, you create the file if it does not yet exist, and open that file for reading
and writing. (See chapter 11.)

Question 39: d, c, e. You cannot assign an integer to a boolean—not even with casting. Also,
the default type for a floating-point literal is double, and you cannot assign a double to a
float without casting.

Question 40: c, e. this is a reserved word, so it cannot be used as an identifier (such as a

label). 2to1odds starts with a number, so it is also invalid as an identifier.

Question 41: a. In order to write a primitive data type such as an int, you need to use a
FilterInputStream subclass such as DataInputStream. This class defines writeInt(), which is
perfect for our needs. (See chapter 11.)

Question 42: "abstract"

Question 43: c. Only the "c" from finally gets written out. The exception thrown doesn’t
match the exception caught, so the catch block is not executed. Control returns to the caller
after finally to see if there is a catch block there to handle this unchecked exception. If
there is not (as is the case here), execution comes to an end.
Question 44: e. This code compiles and runs fine. RandomAccessFile implements the
DataOutput interface, so it does implement writeBytes(), among others. RandomAccessFile
creates the file if it does not yet exist. (See chapter 11.)

Question 45: c. The absolute path includes the drive name and the top-level directories, as
well as the file name itself. (See chapter 11.)

Question 46: d. The target object for a Thread must implement Runnable, which means it will
pass the test:

targetObject instanceof Runnable

(See chapter 12.)

Question 47: a. The thread's with start() method is never invoked. (This is not an applet, so
init() is not automatically invoked.) (See chapter 12.)

Question 48: b. The AWT invokes update() for the Component, which in invokes paint() in its
default behavior. (See chapter 13.)

Question 49: "ref instanceof MyInterface"

Question 50: e. TextField defines a constructor that takes the number of columns, as shown
in the example. TextField objects can have their text updated at any time, including long
after they're created. (See chapter 13.)

Question 51: b. The first yields false, and the others are not legal Java expressions (this is a
wrapper type we’re using here…)

Question 52: b. A FlowLayout arranges components in this way. (See chapter 13.)

Question 53: a. North and South only can resize a component horizontally, to the width of
the Container. (See chapter 13.)

Question 54: c. Complicated as it might seem, this is the best way to accomplish this goal.
First, you set the Container's LayoutManager to be a BorderLayout. Then, you create an
intermediate Container and add each Component to this new Container that uses a
FlowLayout. Finally, you add that Container to the "South" of the original Container. (See
chapter 13.)

Question 55: b. The program will compile fine. However, the Java interpreter specifically
looks for a main() method declared as public and static, that returns no value, and that
takes an array of String objects as its parameter.

Question 56: c. The <applet> tag requires three keywords: code, width, and height.

Question 57: "p.setBackground(Color.red);"

Question 58: a. Use the getParameter() method, passing it the name of the value you want to
retrieve. This method retrieves a String representing that value. (You can convert the String
to a primitive data type using a wrapper class if you need to.)

Question 59: c. The StringBuffer class does not override equals(). Hence, this class returns
false when passed two different objects. (See chapter 6.)

Question 60: d. The four parameters are the left, top, width, height, start angle (0 is the 3:00
position), and the arc angle (the arc ends at start angle plus the arc angle), drawn counter-
clockwise.
Question 61: b. The drawLine() method takes four parameters: the starting point and the
ending point of the line to draw.

Question 62: a, c. You can use drawRect() to draw a rectangle outline given its upper left
point and width and height, and drawPolygon() to draw each of the four points of the square,
plus an end point that is the same as the first point.

Question 63: b. The hide() method is more-or-less the opposite of show() and removes a
Component from the display.

Question 64: a. Returning false indicates that method did not handle the event, which
means AWT passes the event up the container hierarchy looking for someone who does want
to handle it.

Question 65: b, c, e. You cannot directly free the memory allocated by an object, though you
can set an object reference to null. Also, The garbage collector only runs in low-memory
situations, and so does not always reclaim an object’s memory as soon as it becomes a
candidate for garbage collection.

Question 66: d. setSize() is specific to Java 1.1.

Question 67: c. These are Component methods. (The setColor() method is defined in the
Graphics class.)

Question 68: "16"

Question 69: d. The && operator combines two boolean expressions.

Question 70: d. The << operator shifts the bits the given number of places to the left.
