QUESTION 2:
How Java Runtime Environment (JRE) knows where to look for a package that you create?

a. It searches in the current directory.

b. It searches in the location set in the CLASSPATH environment variable.
c. A user can set the path during runtime using the –classpath option.
d. Using the –path option, a user can set the path.

Correct Answer: a, b, c

Detailed Solution:
• First, by default, the Java run-time system uses the current working directory as its starting
point. Thus, if your package is in a sub-directory of the current directory, it will be found.
• Second, you can specify a directory path or paths by setting the CLASSPATH
environmental variable.
• Third, you can use the -classpath option with java and javac to specify the path to your
classes.

QUESTION 3:
Which of the following statement(s) is/are false?
a. Java packages are hierarchical.
b. System.out.println() is a predefined java function.
c. Java can have a nested class structure.
d. The Java static keyword is a non-access modifier.

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:
At first, packages appear to be hierarchical, but they are not. For example, the Java API includes
a java.awt package, a java.awt.color package, a java.awt.font package, and many others that begin
with java.awt. However, the java.awt.color package, the java.awt.font package, and other
java.awt.xxxx packages are not included in the java.awt package. The prefix java.awt (the Java
Abstract Window Toolkit) is used for a number of related packages to make the relationship
evident, but not to show inclusion. All the other options are correct.

QUESTION 4:
Which of the following is/are NOT correct regarding packages in Java?

a. Java supports both pre-defined and user-defined packages.

b. Packages are used to organize a set of related classes and interfaces.
c. Pre-defined packages help to develop programs easily by providing thousands of classes.
d. Packages are used to organize only a set of related classes and not interfaces.

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution:

A package is a namespace that organizes a set of related classes and interfaces. It is just like a
folder in your computer, where, you might keep HTML pages in one folder, images in another,
and scripts or applications in yet another. Since, Java programs can be composed of hundreds or
thousands of individual classes, it makes sense to keep things organized by placing related classes
and interfaces into packages.

QUESTION 5:

Consider the program given below.

public class Main{

public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println(cos(2*PI));
}
}

What will be the output if the above program is executed?

a. It will give compile-time error
b. It will give run-time error
c. 1.0
d. 3.14

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution:
Test by run.
The static import statement is used to import the static members (e.g., PI) of java.lang.Math.
import static java.lang.Math.*;

QUESTION 6:
Which of the following is the minimum requirement for executing a Java program?

a. JDK
b. JRE
c. JDK without JRE
d. JRE without JDK

Correct Answer: b, d

Detailed Solution:

JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required for the execution of the Java programs. JDK contains
JRE by default. Therefore, if we talk about minimum requirement, then both b and d options are
correct.

QUESTION 7:
Which of the following is required for developing a Java program?

a. JDK
b. JRE
c. JDK without JRE

comes packed with JRE and there is no option to select JDK without JRE, option a is the only
valid option.
