Java Certification Question 0025

Which of the following statements are true?
1) The following statement will produce a result of 1. System.out.println( -1 >>>2);
2) Performing an unsigned left shift (<<<) on a negative number will always produce a negative number result
3) The following statement will produce a result of zero, System.out.println(1 >>1);
4) All the integer primitives in java are signed numbers



Answer :
3) The following statement will produce a result of zero, System.out.println(1 >>1);
Although you might not know the exact result of the operation -1 >>> 2 a knowledge of the way the bits will be shifted will tell you that the result is not plus 1. (The result is more like 1073741823 ) There is no such Java operator as the unsigned left shift. Although it is normally used for storing characters rather than numbers the char Java primitive is actually an unsigned integer type.

Java Certification Question 0024

Which of the following statements are true?
1) A method in an interface must not have a body
2) A class may extend one other class plus at most one interface
3) A class may extends at most one other class plus implement many interfaces
4) An class accesses an interface via the keyword uses



Answer :
1) A method in an interface must not have a body
3) A class may extends one other class plus many interfaces
A class accesses an interface using the implements keyword (not uses)

Java Certification Question 0023

Which of the following statements are true?
1 ) The String class is implemented as a char array, elements are addressed using the stringname[] convention
2) The + operator is overloaded for concatenation for the String class
3) Strings are a primitive type in Java and the StringBuffer is used as the matching wrapper type
4) The size of a string can be retrieved using the length property



Answer :
2) The + operator is overloaded for concatenation for the String class
In Java Strings are implemented as a class within the Java.lang package with the special distinction that the + operator is overloaded. If you thought that the String class is implemented as a char array, you may have a head full of C/++ that needs emptying. There is not "wrapper class" for String as wrappers are only for primitive types.
If you are surprised that option 4 is not a correct answer it is because length is a method for the String class, but a property for and array and it is easy to get the two confused.

Java Certification Question 0022

Which of the following statements are true?
1) All of the variables in an interface are implicitly static
2) All of the variables in an interface are implicitly final
3) All of the methods in an interface are implicitly abstract
4) A method in an interface can access class level variables



Answer :
1) All of the variables in an interface are implicitly static
2) All of the variables in an interface are implicitly final
3) All of the methods in an interface are implictly abstract
All the variables in an interface are implicitly static and final. Any methods in an interface have no body, so may not access any type of variable

Java Certification Question 0021

Which of the following statements are true?
1) The default constructor has a return type of void
2) The default constructor takes a parameter of void
3) The default constructor takes no parameters
4) The default constructor is not created if the class has any constructors of its own.



Answer :
3) The default constructor takes no parameters
4) The default constructor is not created if the class has any constructors of its own.
Option 1 is fairly obviously wrong as constructors never have a return type. Option 2 is very dubious as well as Java does not offer void as a type for a method or constructor.
