Typical Short Answer Question
What is the output of the following program?
public class Question{
public static void main(String args[]) {
double d[] = new double[2];
int i[] = new int[3]; 0.0nullify
The default value of a double is 0.0.
Object
o[] = new Object[1];
The default value of an int is 0. Their sum is 0.0. (This arithmetic
System.out.print(d[0]
+ the
i[2]);
expression is evaluated and then
resulting value is cast to a string so
it is a valid argument to the print() method. In contrast, if we changed the
System.out.println(o[0]
+
"ify");
expression to the following, it would cease to be an arithmetic expression
} and would become a string expression: System.out.print(“ “ + d[0] + i[2]).
This would produce a different result.)
}
The default value of an Object is null. Adding “ify” gives “nullify”

Typical Short Answer Question
What is the output of the following program?


String s1 = “ab”;
String s2 = “abcd”;
String s3 = “cd”;
String s4 = s1 + s3;
s1 = s4;
System.out.print(“s1 ”+((s1 == s2)? “==” : “!=”)+“ s2”);
}
}
s1 != s2
From

Certification
Because s1 and
s2 refer
objects, s1 != s2 is true.
Typical Short Answer Question

What is the value of

Order of precedence requires that the expression be
evaluated as:

From Java 2 Certification
Typical Debugging Question
public int sum(int i[], Integer start, Integer end){
// Note:

code while still using the Integer wrapper class.
if(start
==Youend)
returnthei[start.intValue()];
// We removed it here only for clarity. If you don’t remove it, you need to
else// change start == end accordingly.
{ public int sum(int i[], int start, int end)
{
Integer
mid = new Integer((start.intValue() + end.intValue())/2);
if(start == end) return i[start];
elsemid1
return=sum(i,

Integer
new start,
Integer((start.intValue()
+ end.intValue())/2
}
return
sum(i, start, mid) + sum(i, mid1, end);
}
}
This code is supposed to recursively sum the values of the
elements of integer array i. For each recursive call, the starting
and ending indices of the part of the array to be summed should
be in start and end, respectively. What is wrong with the code?
Typical Fill-in-the-Blanks (page 1)
public BufferedReader openInputFile(String public void
closeInputFile(BufferedReader
fileName)
input, String fileName)
{
{
BufferedReader input = null;
try {
try {

InputStreamReader inStream = new

InputStreamReader(new
FileInputStream(fileName));
catch (IOException e) {
input = new BufferedReader(inStream);
System.out.println("Cannot close

}
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
System.out.println("Cannot open "+
fileName);
}
return input;
}
This code opens and closes a file whose name is given by the String fileName.
Typical Fill-in-the-Blanks (page 2)
public void readFile(String fileName)
{
BufferedReader inStream =

boolean lineNotEmpty = true;

System.out.println("Just read:"+ newString);

Fill in the blanks so that readFile( ) reads and prints out all the lines in the file.

Which of the following are used by Java RMI?
A) stubs
B) skeletons
C) ORBs

Typical Multiple Choice Question

What is the preferred way to handle an object’s
events in Java 2?
A) Override the object’s handleEvent() method.
B) Add one or more event listeners to handle the events.
C) Have the object override its processEvent() methods.
D) Have the object override its dispatchEvent()
methods.
The event-delegation model uses event
listeners to handle events.

Supposed you want to have an object eh handle
the TextEvent of a TextArea object t. How should
you add eh as the event handler for it?
