    In Java, a method is a container that holds classes.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    In Java, a method is not a container that holds classes. A method is a block of code that performs a specific task and is defined within a class. It is used to encapsulate a set of instructions that can be called and executed when needed. Classes, on the other hand, are used to define objects and their properties and behaviors. Therefore, the statement that a method is a container that holds classes is incorrect.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    The given answer "No" is correct because both variables, long and int, occupy the same amount of memory in Java. The difference lies in the range of values they can hold. A long variable can store larger values than an int variable, but it does not necessarily use more memory. In this case, both variables are assigned small values, so they would occupy the same number of bytes.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

    B. False
    Explanation
    In Java, "Class" is a reserved keyword used for reflection to obtain metadata about classes at runtime. Therefore, naming a variable "class" may lead to confusion. A correct way to instantiate an object of a class named "Class" would be: 
    Class className = new Class();

    Correct Answer
    B. Yes
    Explanation
