Java Interview questions and answers part3

What is the result of below code?

Given the proper import statement(s), and

PriorityQueue<String> pq = new PriorityQueue<String>();
pq.add("2");
pq.add("4");
System.out.print(pq.peek() + " ");
pq.offer("1");
pq.add("3");
pq.remove("1");
System.out.print(pq.poll() + " ");
if(pq.remove("2")) System.out.print(pq.poll() + " ");
System.out.println(pq.poll() + " " + pq.peek());

A. 2 2 3 3
B. 2 2 3 4
C. 4 3 3 4
D. 2 2 3 3 3
E. 4 3 3 3 3
F. 2 2 3 3 4
G. Compilation fails
H. An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
B is correct. For the sake of the exam, add() and offer() both add to (in this case),
naturally sorted queues. The calls to poll() both return and then remove the first item
from the queue, so the if test fails.

Question:
Given:

import java.util.*;
class Turtle {
int size;
public Turtle(int s) { size = s; }
public boolean equals(Object o) { return (this.size == ((Turtle)o).size); }
// insert code here
}
public class TurtleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LinkedHashSet<Turtle> t = new LinkedHashSet<Turtle>();
t.add(new Turtle(1)); t.add(new Turtle(2)); t.add(new Turtle(1));
System.out.println(t.size());
}
}

And these two fragments:
I. public int hashCode() { return size/5; }
II. // no hashCode method declared
If fragment I or II is inserted, independently, at line 8, which are true? (Choose all that apply.)
A. If fragment I is inserted, the output is 2
B. If fragment I is inserted, the output is 3
C. If fragment II is inserted, the output is 2
D. If fragment II is inserted, the output is 3
E. If fragment I is inserted, compilation fails
F. If fragment II is inserted, compilation fails
Answer:
A and D are correct. While fragment II wouldn't fulfill the hashCode() contract (as you
can see by the results), it is legal Java. For the purpose of the exam, if you don’t override
hashCode(), every object will have a unique hashcode.

Which are true? (Choose all that apply.) Given the proper import statement(s), and:

TreeSet<String> s = new TreeSet<String>();
TreeSet<String> subs = new TreeSet<String>();
s.add("a"); s.add("b"); s.add("c"); s.add("d"); s.add("e");
subs = (TreeSet)s.subSet("b", true, "d", true);
s.add("g");
s.pollFirst();
s.pollFirst();
s.add("c2");
System.out.println(s.size() +" "+ subs.size());

A. The size of s is 4
B. The size of s is 5
C. The size of s is 7
D. The size of subs is 1
E. The size of subs is 2
F. The size of subs is 3
G. The size of subs is 4
H. An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
B and F are correct. After "g" is added, TreeSet s contains six elements and TreeSet subs
contains three (b, c, d), because "g" is out of the range of subs. The first pollFirst()
finds and removes only the "a". The second pollFirst() finds and removes the "b" from
both TreeSets (remember they are backed). The final add() is in range of both TreeSets.
The final contents are [c,c2,d,e,g] and [c,c2,d].

What is the output of below program? 

class Magellan {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TreeMap<String, String> myMap = new TreeMap<String, String>();
myMap.put("a", "apple"); myMap.put("d", "date");
myMap.put("f", "fig"); myMap.put("p", "pear");
System.out.println("1st after mango: " +myMap.higherKey("f"));
System.out.println("1st after mango: " + myMap.ceilingKey("g"));
System.out.println("1st after mango: " +myMap.floorKey("g"));
SortedMap<String, String> sub = new TreeMap<String, String>();
sub = myMap.tailMap("f");
System.out.println("1st after mango: " +sub.firstKey());
System.out.println("1st after mango: " + sub.lastKey());
System.out.println(sub.size());
}
}

Answer:
1st after mango: p
1st after mango: p
1st after mango: f
1st after mango: f
1st after mango: p
2

Which, inserted independently at line 9, will compile? (Choose all that apply.) 

import java.util.*;
class Business { }
class Hotel extends Business { }
class Inn extends Hotel { }
public class Travel {
ArrayList<Hotel> go() {
// insert code here
}
}

A. return new ArrayList<Inn>();
B. return new ArrayList<Hotel>();
C. return new ArrayList<Object>();
D. return new ArrayList<Business>();
Answer:
B is correct.
A is incorrect because polymorphic assignments don't apply to generic type parameters. C
and D are incorrect because they don't follow basic polymorphism rules.

What is the result? 

import java.util.*;
class Dog { int size; Dog(int s) { size = s; } }
public class FirstGrade {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TreeSet<Integer> i = new TreeSet<Integer>();
TreeSet<Dog> d = new TreeSet<Dog>();

d.add(new Dog(1)); d.add(new Dog(2)); d.add(new Dog(1));
i.add(1); i.add(2); i.add(1);
System.out.println(d.size() + " " + i.size());
}
}

A. 1 2
B. 2 2
C. 2 3
D. 3 2
E. 3 3
F. Compilation fails
G. An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
G is correct. Class Dog needs to implement Comparable in order for a TreeSet (which
keeps its elements sorted) to be able to contain Dog objects.

What is output of below program? 

class GeoCache {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] s = {"map", "pen", "marble", "key"};
Othello o = new Othello();
Arrays.sort(s,o);//perameters here String[] and class obj which should impliment Comparator
for(String s2: s) System.out.print(s2 + " ");
System.out.println(Arrays.binarySearch(s, "map"));//this method meake use of compareTo of Othello
}
static class Othello implements Comparator<String> {
public int compare(String a, String b) { return a.compareTo(b); }
}
}

Answer:
output:key map marble pen 1

What is output of below program? 

class GeoCache {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] s = {"map", "pen", "marble", "key"};
Othello o = new Othello();
Arrays.sort(s,o);//perameters here String[] and class obj which should impliment Comparator
for(String s2: s) System.out.print(s2 + " ");
System.out.println(Arrays.binarySearch(s, "map"));//this method meake use of compareTo of Othello
}
static class Othello implements Comparator<String> {
public int compare(String a, String b) { return b.compareTo(a); }//check difference here with previous question.
}
}

Answer:
output:pen marble map key -1

Which are true? (Choose all that apply.)

import java.util.*

public class GeoCache {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String[] s = {"map", "pen", "marble", "key"};

Othello o = new Othello();

Arrays.sort(s,o);

for(String s2: s) System.out.print(s2 + " ");

System.out.println(Arrays.binarySearch(s, "map"));

}

static class Othello implements Comparator<String> {

public int compare(String a, String b) { return b.compareTo(a); }

}

}

A. Compilation fails
B. The output will contain a 1
C. The output will contain a 2
D. The output will contain a –1
E. An exception is thrown at runtime
F. The output will contain "key map marble pen"
G. The output will contain "pen marble map key"
Answer:
D and G are correct. First, the compareTo() method will reverse the normal sort.
Second, the sort() is valid. Third, the binarySearch() gives –1 because it needs to be
invoked using the same Comparator (o), as was used to sort the array. Note that when the
binarySearch() returns an "undefined result" it doesn’t officially have to be a -1, but it
usually is, so if you selected only G, you get full credit!

Assume you have a class that holds two private variables: a and b. Which of the following pairs can prevent concurrent access problems in that class? (Choose all that apply.) 

A. public int read(){return a+b;}
public void set(int a, int b){this.a=a;this.b=b;}
B. public synchronized int read(){return a+b;}
public synchronized void set(int a, int b){this.a=a;this.b=b;}
C. public int read(){synchronized(a){return a+b;}}
public void set(int a, int b){synchronized(a){this.a=a;this.b=b;}}
D. public int read(){synchronized(a){return a+b;}}
public void set(int a, int b){synchronized(b){this.a=a;this.b=b;}}
E. public synchronized(this) int read(){return a+b;}
public synchronized(this) void set(int a, int b){this.a=a;this.b=b;}
F. public int read(){synchronized(this){return a+b;}}
public void set(int a, int b){synchronized(this){this.a=a;this.b=b;}}

Answer:
B and F are correct. By marking the methods as synchronized, the threads will get the
lock of the this object before proceeding. Only one thread will be setting or reading at any
given moment, thereby assuring that read() always returns the addition of a valid pair.
Wrong:
A is incorrect because it is not synchronized; therefore, there is no guarantee that the values
added by the read() method belong to the same pair. C and D are incorrect; only objects
can be used to synchronize on. E fails —it is not possible to select other objects (even this)
to synchronize on when declaring a method as synchronized.

Choose Appropriate option? Given:

public class TwoThreads {
static Thread laurel, hardy;
public static void main(String[] args) {
laurel = new Thread() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("A");
try {
hardy.sleep(1000);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("B");
}
System.out.println("C");
}
};
hardy = new Thread() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("D");
try {
laurel.wait();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("E");
}
System.out.println("F");
}
};
laurel.start();
hardy.start();
}
}

Which letters will eventually appear somewhere in the output? (Choose all that apply.)
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E
F. F
G. The answer cannot be reliably determined
H. The code does not compile
Answer:
A, C, D, E, and F are correct. This may look like laurel and hardy are battling to cause
the other to sleep() or wait()—but that's not the case. Since sleep() is a static
method, it affects the current thread, which is laurel (even though the method is invoked
using a reference to hardy). That's misleading but perfectly legal, and the Thread laurel
is able to sleep with no exception, printing A and C (after at least a 1-second delay). Meanwhile
hardy tries to call laurel.wait()—but hardy has not synchronized on laurel,
so calling laurel.wait() immediately causes an IllegalMonitorStateException, and
so hardy prints D, E, and F. Although the order of the output is somewhat indeterminate
(we have no way of knowing whether A is printed before D, for example) it is guaranteed
that A, C, D, E, and F will all be printed in some order, eventually—so G is incorrect.

Will below code compiles?  

class A1 {
int a=10;
static int  add(int i, int j){
return i+j;
}
  }
class B1 extends A1{
int a=10;
public static void main(String argv[]){
short s = 9;
System.out.println(add(s,6)+" "+super.a);//error becoz of super key word.
}
   }

Answer:
error bcoz of "super" key word.We can not use "this" and "super" key word in side static methods and blocks(Cannot use this(or)super in a static context)

Will below code compiles successfully? 

public class Test {
class T{
static final String af="20";
static final void m1() {
}
}
}

Answer:
error at method m1: The method m1 cannot be declared static; static methods can only be declared in a static or top level type

Will below code compiles successfully? 

public class Test {
final class T{
static final String af="20";
static final void m1() {
}
}
}

Answer:
error at method m1: The method m1 cannot be declared static; static methods can only be declared in a static or top level type

note:
variable level final is considered as highest priority than static.
method level static is considered as highest priority than final shown in above example.
final methods will not allow to create static variables inside method but can access static variables.
static methods will allow to create final variable inside method.

Will below code compiles successfully? 

public static class TestSuper {//error:Illegal modifier for the class TestSuper; only public, abstract & final are permitted
}

note:top level classes will not allow protected,private
note1: inner classes allows protected,private,static also where top level class wont.

D.Compilation fails due to an error on line 7
E.Compilation fails due to an error on line 11
Answer: D is correct. The Short myGold
is autoboxed correctly, but the countGold() method
cannot be invoked from a static context.

What is the result?

class Top {
public Top(String s) { System.out.print("B"); }
}
public class Bottom2 extends Top {
public Bottom2(String s) { System.out.print("D"); }
public static void main(String [] args) {
new Bottom2("C");
System.out.println(" ");
} }

A.BD
B.DB
C.BDC
D.DBC
E.Compilation fails
Answer: E is correct. The implied super()
call in Bottom2’s constructor cannot be satisfied because
there isn’t a no-arg constructor in Top. A default, no-arg constructor is generated by the
compiler only if the class has no constructor defined explicitly.

What is the result?
Given:

class Clidder {
private final void flipper() { System.out.println("Clidder"); }
}
public class Clidlet extends Clidder {
public final void flipper() { System.out.println("Clidlet"); }
public static void main(String [] args) {
new Clidlet().flipper();
} }

A.Clidlet
B.Clidder
C.Clidder
  Clidlet
D.Clidlet
  Clidder
E.Compilation fails.
Answer: A is correct. Although a final method cannot be overridden, in this case, the method
is private, and therefore hidden. The effect is that a new, accessible, method flipper is
created. Therefore, no polymorphism occurs in this example, the method invoked is simply
that of the child class, and no error occurs.

Which, inserted at line 9, will compile? (Choose all that apply.)
Given the following,

1. class X { void do1() { } }
2. class Y extends X { void do2() { } }
3.
4. class Chrome {
5. public static void main(String [] args) {
6. X x1 = new X();
7. X x2 = new Y();
8. Y y1 = new Y();
9. // insert code here
10. }
11. }

A.x2.do2();
B.(Y)x2.do2();
C.((Y)x2).do2();
D.None of the above statements will compile
Answer:C is correct. Before you can invoke Y ’s do2 method you have to cast x2 to be of type Y.
Statement B looks like a proper cast but without the second set of parentheses, the compiler thinks it’s an incomplete statement.

What is the result? (Choose all that apply.)
Given:

3. class Dog {
4. public void bark() { System.out.print("woof "); }

15. ((Dog) new Hound()).sniff();
16. }
17. }

A. howl howl sniff
B.howl woof sniff
C.howl howl followed by an exception
D.howl woof followed by an exception
E.Compilation fails with an error at line 14
F.Compilation fails with an error at line 15
Answer: F is correct. Class Dog doesn’t have a sniff method.

What is the result?

public class CurrentClassVarsAndSubclassMet {
public static void main(String args[]){

12. Redwood r2 = (Redwood)t1;
13. Tree t2 = (Tree)r1;
14. }
15. }
16. class Tree { }

A.An exception is thrown at runtime
B.The code compiles and runs with no output
C.Compilation fails with an error at line 8
D.Compilation fails with an error at line 9
E.Compilation fails with an error at line 12
F.Compilation fails with an error at line 13
Answer: A is correct, a ClassCastException will be thrown when the code attempts to downcast a
Tree to a Redwood.

What is the result?

public class Tenor extends Singer {
public static String sing() { return "fa"; }
public static void main(String[] args) {
Tenor t = new Tenor();
Singer s = new Tenor();

}
}
class Singer { public static String sing() { return "la"; } }

A.fa fa
B.fa la
C.la la
D.Compilation fails
E.An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer: B is correct. The code is correct, but polymorphism doesn’t apply to static methods.

What is the result?

1. class SuperClass {
2. public static void bark() { System.out.print("woof "); }
3. }
4. class SubClass extends SuperClass{
5. public void sniff() { System.out.print("sniff "); }
6.  public void bark() { System.out.print("howl "); }
7. }

Answer: error at line 7:This instance method cannot override the static method from SuperClass

What is the result?

public class CurrentClassVarsAndSubclassMet {
public static void main(String args[]){
go();
}
static void go() {
SuperClass s =new SubClass();
System.out.println(s.$);
s.bark();
}

F.Compilation fails
Answer:
 D is correct. In general, overloaded var-args methods are chosen last. Remember that arrays
are objects. Finally, an int can be boxed to an Integer and then "widened" to an Object.

What is the result?
Given:

1. class Dims {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. int[][] a = {{1,2,}, {3,4}};
4. int[] b = (int[]) a[1];
5. Object o1 = a;

E.Compilation fails due to an error on line 5
F.Compilation fails due to an error on line 6
G.Compilation fails due to an error on line 7
Answer:
C is correct.A ClassCastException is thrown at line 6 because o1 refers to an int[][]not an int[].
If line 6 was removed, the output would be 4

F.pre r1 r4 b1 b2 r3 r2 hawk
G.pre r1 r4 b2 b1 r2 r3 hawk
H.The order of output cannot be predicted
I.Compilation fails
Answer:
D is correct. Static init blocks are executed at class loading time, instance init blocks run right after the call to
super() in a constructor. When multiple init blocks of a single type occur in a class, they run in order, from the top down.

What is the result?

class Bridge {
   enum Suits {
  CLUBS(20), DIAMONDS(20), HEARTS(30), SPADES(30),

B. Compilation fails due to an error on line 8
C. Compilation fails due to an error on line 10
D. Compilation fails due to an error on line 12
E. Compilation fails due to an error on line 14
Answer:
C is correct. An overriding method cannot throw a broader exception than the method it's
overriding. Class CC4's method is an overload, not an override.

      void doStuff() { }
     }
      class Retread extends Tire {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
      new Retread().doStuff();//Error:handle exception
     }
     void doStuff() throws MyException{//error:Exception MyException is not compatible with throws clause in Tire.doStuff()
      // insert code here
      System.out.println(7/0);
     }
     }

Answer:
Error:Exception MyException is not compatible with throws clause in Tire.doStuff()

Question:

class MyException extends Exception { }
      class Tire {
      void doStuff() { }
     }
      class Retread extends Tire {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
      new Retread().doStuff();//Error:handle exception
     }
     void doStuff() throws Exception{//error:Exception Exception is not compatible with throws clause in Tire.doStuff()
      // insert code here
      System.out.println(7/0);
     }
     }

Answer:
Error:Exception Exception is not compatible with throws clause in Tire.doStuff()

What is the result?

class MyException extends Exception { }
      class Tire {
      void doStuff() { }
     }
      class Retread extends Tire {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
      //new Retread().doStuff();//Error:handle exception
     }
     void doStuff() throws ArithmeticException{//error:no error
      // insert code here
      System.out.println(7/0);
     }
     }

Answer:
no error.if we use RuntimeException or sub exception in place of "ArithmeticException" no error if we use "Exception" error will come.

What is the result?

import java.util.regex.*;
class Regex2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(args[0]);
Matcher m = p.matcher(args[1]);
boolean b = false;
while(b = m.find()) {
System.out.print(m.start() + m.group());
}
}
}

And the command line:
java Regex2 "\d*" ab34ef

A. 234
B. 334
C. 2334
D. 0123456
E. 01234456
F. 12334567
G. Compilation fails
Answer:
E is correct. The \d is looking for digits. The * is a quantifier that looks for 0 to many
occurrences of the pattern that precedes it. Because we specified *, the group() method
returns empty Strings until consecutive digits are found, so the only time group() returns
a value is when it returns 34 when the matcher finds digits starting in position 2. The
start() method returns the starting position of the previous match because, again,
we said find 0 to many occurrences.

What is the result?
Given:

import java.io.*;
class Player {
Player() { System.out.print("p"); }
}
class CardPlayer extends Player implements Serializable {
CardPlayer() { System.out.print("c"); }
public static void main(String[] args) {
CardPlayer c1 = new CardPlayer();
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("play.txt");
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
os.writeObject(c1);
os.close();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("play.txt");
ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
CardPlayer c2 = (CardPlayer) is.readObject();
is.close();
} catch (Exception x ) { }
}
}

A. pc
B. pcc
C. pcp
D. pcpc
E. Compilation fails
F. An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
C is correct. It's okay for a class to implement Serializable even if its superclass doesn't.
However, when you deserialize such an object, the non-serializable superclass must run its
constructor. Remember, constructors don't run on deserialized classes that implement
Serializable.

Which of the following will be included in the output String s? (Choose all that apply.)
Given:

class TKO {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "-";
Integer x = 343;
long L343 = 343L;
if(x.equals(L343)) s += ".e1 ";
if(x.equals(343)) s += ".e2 ";
Short s1 = (short)((new Short((short)343)) / (new Short((short)49)));
if(s1 == 7) s += "=s ";
if(s1 < new Integer(7+1)) s += "fly ";
System.out.println(s);
} }

A. .e1
B. .e2
C. =s
D. fly
E. None of the above
F. Compilation fails
G. An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer:
B, C, and D are correct. Remember, that the equals() method for the integer wrappers
will only return true if the two primitive types and the two values are equal. With C, it's
okay to unbox and use ==. For D, it's okay to create a wrapper object with an expression,
and unbox it for comparison with a primitive.
A, E, F, and G are incorrect based on the above. (Remember that A is using the equals()
method to try to compare two different types.) (Objective 3.1)

What is the result? (Choose all that apply.)
Given:

import java.io.*;
class Keyboard { }
public class Computer implements Serializable {
private Keyboard k = new Keyboard();
public static void main(String[] args) {
Computer c = new Computer();
c.storeIt(c);
}
void storeIt(Computer c) {
try {
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream("myFile"));
os.writeObject(c);
os.close();
System.out.println("done");
} catch (Exception x) {System.out.println("exc"); }
}
}

A. exc
B. done
C. Compilation fails
D. Exactly one object is serialized
E. Exactly two objects are serialized
Answer:
A is correct. An instance of type Computer Has-a Keyboard. Because Keyboard doesn't
implement Serializable, any attempt to serialize an instance of Computer will cause an
exception to be thrown.

Which are true? (Choose all that apply.)

 class TestSer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     SpecialSerial s = new SpecialSerial();
     try {
     ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(
     new FileOutputStream("myFile.txt"));
     os.writeObject(s); os.close();
     System.out.print(++s.z + " ");
     ObjectInputStream is = new ObjectInputStream(
     new FileInputStream("myFile.txt"));
     SpecialSerial s2 = (SpecialSerial)is.readObject();
     is.close();
     System.out.println(s2.y + " " + s2.z);
     } catch (Exception x) {x.printStackTrace(); }
     }
     }
     class SpecialSerial implements Serializable {
     transient int y = 7;
     static int z = 9;
     }

A. Compilation fails
B. The output is 10 0 9
C. The output is 10 0 10
D. The output is 10 7 9
E. The output is 10 7 10
F. In order to alter the standard deserialization process you would implement the
readObject() method in SpecialSerial
G. In order to alter the standard deserialization process you would implement the
defaultReadObject() method in SpecialSerial
Answer:
C and F are correct. C is correct because static and transient variables are not
serialized when an object is serialized. F is a valid statement.
