State true or false: Interface methods can be declared static

true
false
Answer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select the correct answers: If you define a class within an interface,

the class is always public
the class is always static
the class methods cannot call methods declared in the interface
Answer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

}
}
new B();
}
public A(int a) {
class B{
B() {

Given the following code, what is the output generated

class Base {
public static void amethod(){
System.out.println("In base amethod");
}
public void another(){
System.out.println("In base another");
}
static int staticInt = 10;
int instanceVar = 20;

Answer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANSWERS:-

b, c

Remember, that a compound assignment expression of the form E1 op= E2 is always equivalent to
E1 = (Type) (E1 op E2), where Type is the type of E1.

Gianeshwar Singh 6
The only modifiers that are allowed with interface methods are public and abstract. And these are
implicit, so you don’t even have to include them.

a,b,c

All three are right. Classes defined within an interface are implicitly public and static and because
you cannot have static methods within an iterface, you cannot refer to the non-static methods from
the static class methods.

a
c
c, d

The only operators that can cause an ArithmeticException are the integer division (/) and modulo
(%) operators. Remember that float operations do not raise any exception at all. They may result in
NaN or Infinities, instead.

-0.0 == 0.0 returns true

-0.0 > 0.0 returns false

Gianeshwar Singh 7
a, c, d
d
a, b, d

Check out the Java Language Specification for more information on Character Literal and Escape
Sequences

Static variables and methods as well as instance variables use the Type of the reference variable to
determine the correct variable/method to use. On the other hand, instance methods use the Class of
the reference variable to determine the correct method to call

b,c,e

Unlike methods, a constructor cannot be abstract, static, final, strictfp, native or synchronized.
