Object-Oriented Programming means ...
- A.
Being objective about what you develop
- B.
Designing the application based on the objects discovered when analysing the problem
- C.
Writing an algorithm before writing your program and having a test plan
- D.
Writing a program composed of Java classes
Correct Answer
B. Designing the application based on the objects discovered when analysing the problemExplanation
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is an approach to software development that focuses on designing and organizing a program or system around objects, which are instances of classes representing real-world entities or concepts. In OOP, you analyze the problem domain and model it using objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to create a more organized and modular software structure. So, OOP involves designing the application based on the objects discovered during the problem analysis phase.Rate this question:

If none of the private/protected/public is specified for a member, that member ...
- A.
Is accessible publicly
- B.
Is only accessible by other classes of the same package
- C.
Is only accessible from within the class
- D.
Is accessible by the class and its subclasses
Correct Answer
B. Is only accessible by other classes of the same packageExplanation
If none of the access modifiers (private, protected, public) is specified for a member, that member is only accessible by other classes of the same package. This means that any class within the same package can access the member, but classes outside of the package cannot.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not correct?
- A.
A class needs to be instantiated as an object before being used
- B.
An object exists in memory in run time.
- C.
Class and object are just different names for the same thing
- D.
An object is a variable, where its type is the class used to declare the variable
Correct Answer
C. Class and object are just different names for the same thingExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that class and object are not the same thing. A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects, while an object is an instance of a class that exists in memory at runtime. They have different roles and functionalities in object-oriented programming.Rate this question:

Which is not a part of defining an object?
- A.
Description
- B.
Methods
- C.
Associations with other objects
- D.
Name
Correct Answer
C. Associations with other objectsExplanation
In the context of Java programming, defining associations with other objects is not typically considered a direct part of defining a single object. While objects can have relationships with other objects, the act of defining a single object usually focuses on its attributes (description), methods, and name. Associating with other objects is more about the relationships between different objects in a broader system.Rate this question:

Class B inherits from Class A, what cannot be said:
- A.
B is a sub-class of A
- B.
A is a super-class of B
- C.
B has access to private members of A
- D.
B has access to protected members of A
Correct Answer
C. B has access to private members of AExplanation
Since Class B inherits from Class A, it can access the protected members of Class A. However, it cannot access the private members of Class A. Private members are only accessible within the same class and cannot be accessed by its subclasses. Therefore, the statement "B has access to private members of A" cannot be said.Rate this question:

- 6.
What is a member of a class
- A.
An attribute
- B.
A method
- C.
Attribute or method
- D.
A sub-class
Correct Answer
C. Attribute or methodExplanation
A member of a class refers to any attribute or method that belongs to that class. It can be either an attribute, which represents the data associated with the class, or a method, which represents the behavior or actions that the class can perform. In object-oriented programming, classes are used to define objects, and attributes and methods are the building blocks that make up these objects. Therefore, a member of a class can be either an attribute or a method, or it can be both.Rate this question:

A UML association from class A to class B means
- A.
Class B inherits from Class A
- B.
Class B is defined within class A
- C.
Class B has an attribute of type A
- D.
Class A has an attribute of type B
Correct Answer
C. Class B has an attribute of type AExplanation
This means that instances of Class B are associated with instances of Class A in a way that Class B contains an attribute whose type is Class A. It doesn't necessarily mean every instance of B has an A, but there is a relationship between the two classes.
For example, if you have a UML diagram with classes `Car` and `Engine`, an association from `Car` to `Engine` would imply that a `Car` has an attribute, say `carEngine,` whose type is `Engine.`
This is different from option D, which would imply that every instance of `Car` has an attribute of type `Engine,` which may not be the case in a general association. Associations express relationships, not direct containment or inheritance.Rate this question:

A UML association is ...
- A.
Implemented as a Java attribute member
- B.
Implemented as a Java method
- C.
Implemented as a sub-class
- D.
Implemented as a String constructor returning the name of the association target
Correct Answer
A. Implemented as a Java attribute memberExplanation
A UML association is implemented as a Java attribute member because in UML, an association represents a relationship between two or more classes. In Java, this relationship is typically implemented by creating a member variable in one class that references an object of another class. This allows the two classes to interact and collaborate with each other. Therefore, implementing a UML association as a Java attribute member is the correct approach to represent the relationship between classes in the UML diagram.Rate this question:

A class is...
- A.
An object
- B.
An executable piece of code
- C.
An abstract definition of an object
- D.
A variable
Correct Answer
C. An abstract definition of an objectExplanation
A class is an abstract definition of an object because it represents the blueprint or template for creating objects of that class. It defines the properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods) that the objects of that class will have. The class itself is not an object, but rather a description or definition of what an object of that class should be like. Objects are instances of classes, created based on the class definition, and they have their own unique state and behavior.Rate this question:

- D.
For (i = 1; i < 3; i++) System.out.println(nums[i]);
Correct Answer
A. For (int i =0; i < 3; i++) System.out.println( nums[i]);Explanation
The correct answer is the first option: for (int i =0; i < 3; i++) System.out.println( nums[i]). This loop uses a for loop with an integer variable i initialized to 0 and incremented by 1 each iteration. The loop condition is i < 3, so the loop will run three times. Inside the loop, the System.out.println statement is used to print each element of the nums array on a separate line.Rate this question:

An array holds:
- A.
Similar values of same data type
- B.
Different values of same data type
- C.
Same values of different data types
- D.
Different values of different data types
Correct Answer
B. Different values of same data typeExplanation
An array holds different values of the same data type. In programming, an array is a collection of elements of the same type. These elements can be of any type like integers, characters, floating point numbers, strings, etc. The elements in an array are stored in contiguous memory locations and can be accessed using indices. However, the values of these elements can be different. For example, an integer array can hold the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., which are different values but all of the same type (integer).Rate this question:

The most common use of an array is to:
- A.
Perform for loop on array
- B.
Perform different operations on each element in array
- C.
Perform the same operation on all elements in array
- D.
Perform while loop on array
Correct Answer
C. Perform the same operation on all elements in arrayExplanation
The most common use of an array is to perform the same operation on all elements in the array. Arrays allow for efficient storage and retrieval of multiple values of the same data type. By applying a single operation to each element in the array, tasks such as calculations, transformations, or comparisons can be easily performed on a large set of data. This allows for concise and efficient coding, as the same code can be applied to each element in the array without the need for repetitive code or manual iteration.Rate this question:

- A.
0
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.
7
Correct Answer
C. 6Explanation
The size of the array "ar" is 6. This is because the array has 6 elements inside the curly braces {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Each element takes up one slot in the array, so the size of the array is equal to the number of elements it contains, which in this case is 6.Rate this question:

The following prototype shows that a Cylinder subclass is derived from a superclass called Circle
- A.
Class Circle extends Cylinder
- B.
Class Cylinder derived Circle
- C.
Class Cylinder extends Circle
- D.
Class Circle derived Cylinder
Correct Answer
C. Class Cylinder extends CircleExplanation
The correct answer is "class Cylinder extends Circle". This is because the keyword "extends" is used to indicate that the class Cylinder is derived from the superclass Circle. In object-oriented programming, inheritance allows a subclass to inherit the properties and methods of its superclass, and by extending Circle, the Cylinder subclass can access and use the attributes and behaviors defined in the Circle class.Rate this question:

The relationship from ATM to ATM Display
- C.
The relationship from ATM to Account
- D.
The account number
Correct Answer
B. The relationship from ATM to ATM DisplayExplanation
In the given scenario, the relationship from ATM to ATM Display will be shown as an association in UML. This means that the ATM class has a reference to the ATM Display class, indicating that it uses or interacts with the ATM Display class in some way. The association represents a dependency between the two classes, where the ATM class relies on the ATM Display class for its functionality.Rate this question:

With inheritance, a derived subclass object can directly access any
- A.
Public or private superclass member
- B.
Private superclass member
- C.
Public superclass member (and protected subclass members if it's in the same package)
- D.
Protected, public or private superclass member
Correct Answer
C. Public superclass member (and protected subclass members if it's in the same package)Explanation
Inheritance allows a derived subclass object to directly access any public superclass member. Additionally, if the subclass is in the same package as the superclass, it can also access protected subclass members. However, private superclass members cannot be accessed by the subclass object. Therefore, the correct answer is public superclass member (and protected subclass members if it's in the same package).Rate this question:

If classes Student, Staff and Faculty extend class Person, which one makes sense:
- A.
Faculty[] faculties={new Person(), new Staff(), new Student()};
- B.
Staff[] staff={new Person(), new Faculty(), new Student()};
- C.
Person[] persons={new Faculty(), new Staff(), new Student()};
Correct Answer
C. Person[] persons={new Faculty(), new Staff(), new Student()};Explanation
The correct answer is "Person[] persons={new Faculty(), new Staff(), new Student()};". This makes sense because the class Person is the superclass, and both Staff and Faculty are subclasses of Person. Therefore, an array of type Person can hold objects of type Faculty, Staff, and Student, as they all inherit from Person.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. An object definition, containing the data and function elements necessary to create an objectExplanation
A class is an object definition that contains the data and function elements necessary to create an object. In object-oriented programming, a class serves as a blueprint for creating objects, defining their properties (data) and behaviors (functions). It encapsulates the attributes and methods that an object will possess, allowing multiple objects to be created from the same class with their own unique data values.Rate this question:
