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
C. Writing an algorithm before writing your program and having a test planExplanation
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) refers to a programming paradigm that focuses on designing software based on objects. It involves analyzing the problem, identifying relevant objects, and designing the application accordingly. While writing a program composed of Java classes is a characteristic of OOP, it is not the definition of OOP itself. Writing an algorithm before writing the program and having a test plan are important steps in the development process, but they are not exclusive to OOP.Rate this question:

- 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 the member can be accessed by any class within the same package, but not by classes outside of the package.Rate this question:

Which one is not correct?
- A.
A class needs to be instantiated as an object before being used
- B.
An objects 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 given statement that "Class and object are just different names for the same thing" is not correct. In object-oriented programming, a class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. A class defines the properties and behaviors that an object of that class will have. On the other hand, an object is an instance of a class. It is created using the class blueprint and represents a specific entity with its own set of properties and behaviors. Therefore, a class and an object are not the same thing, but rather related concepts in object-oriented programming.Rate this question:

- 4.
Which is not a part of defining an object?
- A.
Description
- B.
Methods
- C.
Associations with other objects
- D.
Name
Correct Answer
A. DescriptionExplanation
In object-oriented programming, defining an object involves specifying its methods, associations with other objects, and giving it a name. However, the description of an object is not a necessary part of its definition. While it can be helpful to provide a description for documentation or understanding purposes, it is not essential for defining the object itself.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 class they are defined in and cannot be accessed by any 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 either an attribute or a method. In object-oriented programming, a class is a blueprint for creating objects, and members are the variables (attributes) and functions (methods) associated with the class. These members define the characteristics and behaviors of the objects created from the class. Therefore, the correct answer is attribute or method, as both attributes and methods are considered members of a class.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
D. Class A has an attribute of type BExplanation
The correct answer is "Class A has an attribute of type B." This means that class A has a variable or attribute that is of type B, indicating a relationship between the two classes. This association does not imply inheritance, the class B being defined within class A, or class B having an attribute of type A.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
In UML, an association represents a relationship between two or more classes. It is implemented as a Java attribute member, which means that it is represented as a variable or property within a class. This attribute member can hold a reference to an object of another class, establishing the association between them. By using this implementation, the classes can communicate and interact with each other through the association attribute, allowing them to access and manipulate the associated objects.Rate this question:

An object could be ...
- A.
Anything
- B.
An algorithm
- C.
A data container
- D.
A program
Correct Answer
A. AnythingExplanation
The given correct answer, "anything," suggests that an object could refer to any entity or thing. It could be an algorithm, a data container, a program, or any other entity. This answer implies that the term "object" is not limited to a specific category or definition, but rather encompasses a broad range of possibilities.Rate this question:

A class is...
- A.
An object
- B.
An executable piece of code
- C.
An abstract definition of an object
- D.
A varibale
Correct Answer
C. An abstract definition of an objectExplanation
A class is an abstract definition of an object because it defines the properties and behaviors that an object of that class should have. It serves as a blueprint or template for creating objects with similar characteristics. A class does not represent a specific object itself, but rather describes the common attributes and methods that objects of that class should possess.Rate this question:

How to define a JButton with the caption test?
- A.
JButton aButton('test');
- B.
JButton aButton=new JButton("test");
- C.
JButton aButton=new JButton('test');
- D.
JButton("test") aButton;
Correct Answer
B. JButton aButton=new JButton("test");Explanation
The correct answer is JButton aButton=new JButton("test"). This is the correct way to define a JButton with the caption "test". The JButton class provides a constructor that takes a String parameter, which represents the text that will be displayed on the button. By using the "new" keyword, we create a new instance of the JButton class and assign it to the variable "aButton". The String "test" is passed as an argument to the constructor, setting the caption of the button to "test".Rate this question:

- A.
The method setSize()
- B.
Automtically in browser
- C.
The width and height attributes of the class JApplet
- D.
HTML properties WIDTH and HEIGHT of the APPLET tag.
Correct Answer
D. HTML properties WIDTH and HEIGHT of the APPLET tag.Explanation
The size of an applet is set using the HTML properties WIDTH and HEIGHT of the APPLET tag. This allows the developer to specify the desired width and height of the applet within the HTML code. The setSize() method is used to set the size of components within the applet, not the overall size of the applet itself. The width and height attributes of the class JApplet are not used to set the size of the applet.Rate this question:

- B.
System.out.print("The number is : " + nums[1]);
- C.
System.out.print("The number is : " + nums[8]);
- D.
System.out.print("The number is : " + nums);
Correct Answer
A. System.out.print("The number is : " + nums[0]);Explanation
The correct answer is System.out.print("The number is : " + nums[0]); because the expression nums[0] accesses the first element in the array "nums" and concatenates it with the string "The number is : " to display the result.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
A. Similar values of same data typeExplanation
An array holds similar values of the same data type because it is a data structure that allows us to store multiple elements of the same type in a contiguous memory location. This means that all the elements in an array should have the same data type, such as integers, floats, characters, or strings. By storing similar values, we can easily access and manipulate the elements in the array using their indices.Rate this question:

The range of indices for an array always start at:
- A.
Whatever programmer specifies
- B.
1
- C.
0
- D.
Size of array
Correct Answer
C. 0Explanation
In programming, the range of indices for an array always starts at 0. This means that the first element in an array is accessed using the index 0, the second element with index 1, and so on. This convention is followed in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python. Starting the index at 0 allows for a more efficient and consistent way of referencing elements in an array.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 us to store multiple values of the same data type in a single variable. By using a loop or iteration, we can easily access each element in the array and apply the same operation to all of them. This is particularly useful when we want to perform a repetitive task or calculation on a set of data.Rate this question:

If we declare int [ ] ar = {1,2,3,4,5,6}; The size of array ar is:
- A.
0
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.
7
Correct Answer
C. 6Explanation
The size of the array "ar" is 6 because the given declaration "int [ ] ar = {1,2,3,4,5,6};" initializes an array with 6 elements. The numbers inside the curly braces represent the values of the elements in the array. Therefore, 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 in Java to indicate that a class is derived from another class. In this case, the subclass "Cylinder" is derived from the superclass "Circle". This means that the "Cylinder" class inherits all the properties and methods of the "Circle" class, and can also have its own additional properties and methods.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 public superclass members. This means that the derived subclass object can use any public member of its superclass without any restrictions. 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 directly by the subclass object.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 is because the class hierarchy suggests that Faculty, Staff, and Student are all types of Person. Therefore, an array of type Person can hold objects of any of these three classes. However, the other two options are not valid because they involve trying to assign objects of incompatible types to arrays.Rate this question:

Which of the following always need a Capital letter ?
- A.
Class names and Strings
- B.
Objects and class names
- C.
Fields and Strings
- D.
