Which three are valid declarations of a float? 1. float f1 = -343; 2. float f2 = 3.14; 3. float f3 = 0x12345; 4. float f4 = 42e7; 5. float f5 = 2001.0D; float f6 = 2.81F;
- A.
1,2,4
- B.
1,3,6
- C.
2,3,4
- D.
2,5,6
Correct Answer
B. 1,3,6Explanation
(1) and (3) are integer literals (32 bits), and integers can be legally assigned tofloats (also 32 bits). (6) is correct because (F) is appended to the literal, declaring it as a float rather than a double (the default for floating point literals).
(2), (4),and (5) are all doublesRate this question:

What is the numerical range of a char?
- A.
-128 to 127
- B.
-232 to -231
- C.
0 to 32767
- D.
0 to 65535
Correct Answer
D. 0 to 65535Explanation
A char is really a 16-bit integer behind the scenes, so it supports 216 (from 0 to 65535) values.Rate this question:

Which one of these lists contains only Java programming language keywords?
- A.
Class, if, void, long, Int, continue
- B.
Goto, instanceof, native, finally, default, throws
- C.
Try, virtual, throw, final, volatile, transient
- D.
Strictfp, constant, super, implements, do
- E.
Byte, break, assert, switch, include
Correct Answer
B. Goto, instanceof, native, finally, default, throwsExplanation
All the words in option B are among the 49 Java keywords. Although goto reserved as a keyword in Java, goto is not used and has no function.
Option A is wrong because the keyword for the primitive int starts with a lowercase i.
Option C is wrong because "virtual" is a keyword in C++, but not Java.
Option D is wrong because "constant" is not a keyword. Constants in Java are marked static and final.
Option E is wrong because "include" is a keyword in C, but not in Java.Rate this question:
-

Which is a valid keyword in java?
- A.
Interface
- B.
String
- C.
Float
- D.
Unsigned
Correct Answer
A. InterfaceExplanation
interface is a valid keyword.
Option B is wrong because although "String" is a class type in Java, "string" is not a keyword.
Option C is wrong because "Float" is a class type. The keyword for the Java primitive is float.
Option D is wrong because "unsigned" is a keyword in C/C++ but not in JavaRate this question:
-
- 6.
Which is a reserved word in the Java programming language?
- A.
Method
- B.
Native
- C.
Subclasses
- D.
Reference
- E.
Array
Correct Answer
B. NativeExplanation
The word "native" is a valid keyword, used to modify a method declaration.
Option A, D and E are not keywords. Option C is wrong because the keyword for subclassing in Java is extends, not 'subclasses'.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
Which three are valid declarations of a char?
- A.
Char c1 = 064770;
- B.
Char c2 = 'face';
- C.
Char c3 = 0xbeef;
- D.
Char c4 = \u0022;
- E.
Char c5 = '\iface';
- F.
Char c6 = '\uface';
Correct Answer(s)
A. Char c1 = 064770;
C. Char c3 = 0xbeef;
F. Char c6 = '\uface';Explanation
(1), (3), and (6) are correct. char c1 = 064770; is an octal representation of the integer value 27128, which is legal because it fits into an unsigned 16-bit integer. char c3 = 0xbeef; is a hexadecimal representation of the integer value 48879, which fits into an unsigned 16-bit integer. char c6 = '\uface'; is a Unicode representation of a character.
char c2 = 'face'; is wrong because you can't put more than one character in a char literal. The only other acceptable char literal that can go between single quotes is a Unicode value, and Unicode literals must always start with a '\u'.
char c4 = \u0022; is wrong because the single quotes are missing.
char c5 = '\iface'; is wrong because it appears to be a Unicode representation (notice the backslash), but starts with '\i' rather than '\u'.Rate this question:

What will be the output of the program? class BitShift { public static void main(String [] args) { int x = 0x80000000; System.out.print(x + " and "); x = x >>> 31; System.out.println(x); } }
- A.
-2147483648 and 1
- B.
0x80000000 and 0x00000001
- C.
-2147483648 and -1
- D.
1 and -2147483648
Correct Answer
A. -2147483648 and 1Explanation
Option A is correct. The >>> operator moves all bits to the right, zero filling the left bits. The bit transformation looks like this:
Before: 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
After: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
Option C is incorrect because the >>> operator zero fills the left bits, which in this case changes the sign of x, as shown.
Option B is incorrect because the output method print() always displays integers in base 10.
Option D is incorrect because this is the reverse order of the two output numbers.Rate this question:

The operations y >> 3 and y >>> 3 produce the same result when y > 0.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The shift operation "y1 >>> y2" is identical to "y1 >> y2" for all positive values of y1. It shifts the bits in y1 to the right by y2 positionsRate this question:
-
- 11.
What will be the output of the program? class SSBool { public static void main(String [] args) { boolean b1 = true; boolean b2 = false; boolean b3 = true; if ( b1 & b2 | b2 & b3 | b2 ) /* Line 8 */ System.out.print("ok "); if ( b1 & b2 | b2 & b3 | b2 | b1 ) /*Line 10*/ System.out.println("dokey"); } }
- A.
Ok
- B.
Dokey
- C.
Ok dokey
- D.
Compilatioon error
Correct Answer
B. DokeyExplanation
The & operator has a higher precedence than the | operator so that on line 8 b1 and b2 are evaluated together as are b2 & b3. The final b1 in line 10 is what causes that if test to be true. Hence it prints "dokey".Rate this question:
-
- 12.
The expression (y >= z && a == b) is evaluated by first evaluating the expression y >= z, and then evaluating a == b.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
If y >= z is false, then there is no need to evaluate the second expression.Rate this question:

- 13.
Which statements about the output of the following program are true? public class EqualTest { public static void main(String args[]) { String s1 = “YES”; String s2 = “YES”; if ( s1 == s2 ) System.out.println(“equal”); String s3 = new String(“YES”); String s4 = new String(“YES”); if ( s3 == s4 ) System.out.println(“s3 eq s4”); } }
- A.
“equal” is printed, “s3 eq s4” is printed.
- B.
“equal” is printed only.
- C.
“s3 eq s4” is printed only.
- D.
Nothing is printed.
Correct Answer
B. “equal” is printed only.Explanation
The compiler creates one String object for both s1 and s2, thus “equal” appears. But using the new String operator two distinct objects are created so “s3 eq s4” does not appear.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
What is the difference between >> and >>>?
- A.
The >> operator shifts left and the >>> operator shifts right.
- B.
The >> operator shifts right and the >>> operator shifts left.
- C.
The >> operator fills the shifted out high order bits based on the sign bit and the >>> operator fills the high order bits with zeros.
- D.
The >>> operator fills the shifted out high order bits based on the sign bit and the >>> operator fills the high order bits with zeros.
Correct Answer
C. The >> operator fills the shifted out high order bits based on the sign bit and the >>> operator fills the high order bits with zeros.Explanation
The >> operator fills the shifted out high order bits based on the sign bit, meaning that if the number being shifted is positive, the high order bits will be filled with zeros, and if the number is negative, the high order bits will be filled with ones. On the other hand, the >>> operator always fills the high order bits with zeros, regardless of the sign of the number being shifted.Rate this question:

The lines that will compile without error are:
A) String result = s + l;
D) int result = l * d;
Explanation:
A) In option A, we are concatenating a String `s` with a `long` value `l`. This is allowed in Java, as the `+` operator can be used for String concatenation.
D) In option D, we are multiplying a `long` value `l` with a `double` value `d`. The result is assigned to an `int` variable. This operation is allowed in Java, and it will implicitly convert the result to an `int`.
Option B and C would result in compilation errors for the following reasons:
B) In option B, we are trying to assign the result of adding a `double` value `d` and an `int` value `i` to a String variable. This operation is not allowed as it attempts to mix data types in an incompatible way.
C) In option C, we are performing an integer division with the variables `i` and `j,` where `j` is assigned a value of 0. This would result in a runtime exception (ArithmeticException) since division by zero is not allowed in Java.
So, options A and D are the correct choices that will compile without error.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. -3.0Explanation
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number. In this case, -2.1 is rounded down to -3, so the output will be -3.0.Rate this question:

Default value of the bolean is false
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The default value of a boolean is false. This means that if a boolean variable is not assigned a value, it will automatically be set to false. Therefore, the statement "True" is incorrect because the default value of a boolean is not true, but false.Rate this question:

Extended assignment operators (for example +=) do an implicit cast. byte b = 10; b += 10;
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Extended assignment operators, such as +=, perform an implicit cast. In this case, the variable b is of type byte and the value being added is an int. Since int has a higher range than byte, an implicit cast is performed to convert the int value to byte. Therefore, the statement b += 10 is valid and will not result in a compilation error. The value of b will be 20 after the operation.Rate this question:

Which of the following cannot be typecasted iin java
- A.
Byte
- B.
Char
- C.
Boolean
- D.
Float
- E.
Double
Correct Answer(s)
A. Byte
B. Char
C. BooleanExplanation
In Java, primitive data types can be typecasted to each other except for boolean. Boolean is a data type that can only have two possible values: true or false. It cannot be converted or typecasted to any other data type because it is a distinct type on its own. Therefore, byte, char, and boolean cannot be typecasted in Java.Rate this question:

If you try to access a local variable that is not initialized then
- A.
It is automatically initialized to some garbage value
- B.
Shows a run time error
- C.
Assigns a null value to the variable
- D.
Shows compile time error
Correct Answer
D. Shows compile time errorExplanation
If you try to access a local variable that is not initialized, it will show a compile time error. This means that the code will not be able to compile and run successfully because accessing an uninitialized variable can lead to unpredictable behavior and can cause bugs in the program. Therefore, it is considered a best practice to always initialize variables before using them to avoid such errors.Rate this question:

When you convert a data that has a large type to a smaller type, you must use an explicit cast. True or false
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When converting a data type with a larger size to a smaller type, it is necessary to use an explicit cast. This is because the smaller data type may not be able to hold the full range of values that the larger data type can accommodate. By using an explicit cast, you are indicating to the compiler that you are aware of the potential loss of data and are intentionally converting the value to a smaller type.Rate this question:

The instanceof operator is a binary operator that determines whether an object reference is an instance of the class, interface, or array type specified by the right operand.
- B.
The instanceof operator can be used with primitive types.
- C.
The instanceof operator returns a boolean value of true if the left operand references a non-null object of class
- D.
The instanceof operator returns false if none of the preceding conditions are met or if the left operand is null.

Choose the options that are true about features of instance variable. Choose any 2
- A.
Cannot be initialized before invoking any constructor
- B.
Accessible anywhere in the class
- C.
Static variables are initialized at class load time
- D.
Cannot have the same name as the class
Correct Answer(s)
B. Accessible anywhere in the class
C. Static variables are initialized at class load timeExplanation
Instance variables are accessible anywhere in the class, meaning they can be accessed and used by any method or constructor within the class. Static variables, on the other hand, are initialized at class load time, which means they are initialized only once when the class is first loaded into memory.Rate this question:
