Java Fundamental Test Questions






) What is meant by variable?
Ans: Variables are locations in memory that can hold values. Before assigning any value to a variable, it must be declared. 

2) What are the kinds of variables in Java? What are their uses?
Ans: Java has three kinds of variables namely, the instance variable, the local variable and the class variable. 
Local variables are used inside blocks as counters or in methods as temporary variables and are used to store information needed by a single method. 
Instance variables are used to define attributes or the state of a particular object and are used to store information needed by multiple methods in the objects. 
Class variables are global to a class and to all the instances of the class and are useful for communicating between different objects of all the same class or keeping track of global states. 

3) How are the variables declared?
Ans: Variables can be declared anywhere in the method definition and can be initialized during their declaration.They are commonly declared before usage at the beginning of the definition. 
Variables with the same data type can be declared together. Local variables must be given a value before usage. 

4) What are variable types?
Ans: Variable types can be any data type that java supports, which includes the eight primitive data types, the name of a class or interface and an array. 

5) How do you assign values to variables?
Ans: Values are assigned to variables using the assignment operator =. 

6) What is a literal? How many types of literals are there?
Ans: A literal represents a value of a certain type where the type describes how that value behaves.There are different types of literals namely number literals, character literals, boolean literals, string literals,etc. 

7) What is an array?
Ans: An array is an object that stores a list of items. 
8) How do you declare an array?
Ans: Array variable indicates the type of object that the array holds. 
Ex: int arr[]; 

9) Java supports multidimensional arrays.
a)True 
b)False 
Ans: a. 
10) An array of arrays can be created.
a)True 
b)False

11) What is a string?
Ans: A combination of characters is called as string. 

12) Strings are instances of the class String.
a)True 
b)False 
Ans: a. 
13) When a string literal is used in the program, Java automatically creates instances of the string class.
a)True 
b)False 
Ans: a. 

14) Which operator is to create and concatenate string?

Ans. d 
19) What are primitive data types?
Ans : byte, short, int, long 
float, double 
boolean 
char 
20) What are default values of different primitive types?

Ans : 
int - 0 
short - 0 
byte - 0 
long - 0 l 
float - 0.0 f 
double - 0.0 d 
boolean - false 
char - null 
21) Converting of primitive types to objects can be explicitly.

a)True 
b)False 
Ans: b. 
22) How do we change the values of the elements of the array?
Ans : The array subscript expression can be used to change the values of the elements of the array. 
23) What is final varaible?

Ans : If a variable is declared as final variable, then you can not change its value. It becomes constant. 
24) What is static variable?

Ans : Static variables are shared by all instances of a class. 

 Java  Operators
-----------------------
1) What are operators and what are the various types of operators available in Java?
Ans: Operators are special symbols used in expressions. The following are the types of operators:
Arithmetic operators,
Assignment operators,
Increment & Decrement operators,
Logical operators,
Biwise operators,
Comparison/Relational operators and
Conditional operators
2) The ++ operator is used for incrementing and the -- operator is used for
decrementing.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
3) Comparison/Logical operators are used for testing and magnitude.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
4) Character literals are stored as unicode characters.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
5) What are the Logical operators?
Ans: OR(|), AND(&), XOR(^) AND NOT(~).
6) What is the % operator?
Ans : % operator is the modulo operator or reminder operator. It returns the reminder of dividing the first operand by second operand.
7) What is the value of 111 % 13?
1.       3
2.       5
3.       7
4.       9
Ans : c.
8) Is &&= a valid operator?
Ans : No.
9) Can a double value be cast to a byte?
Ans : Yes
10) Can a byte object be cast to a double value ?
Ans : No. An object cannot be cast to a primitive value.
11) What are order of precedence and associativity?
Ans : Order of precedence the order in which operators are evaluated in expressions.
Associativity determines whether an expression is evaluated left-right or right-left.
12) Which Java operator is right associativity?
Ans : = operator.
13) What is the difference between prefix and postfix of -- and ++ operators?
Ans : The prefix form returns the increment or decrement operation and returns the value of the increment or decrement operation.
The postfix form returns the current value of all of the expression and then
performs the increment or decrement operation on that value.
14) What is the result of expression 5.45 + "3,2"?
1)The double value 8.6
2)The string ""8.6"
3)The long value 8.
4)The String "5.453.2"

15) What are the values of x and y ?
x = 5; y = ++x;
Ans : x = 6; y = 6
16) What are the values of x and z?
x = 5; z = x++;
Ans : x = 6; z = 5


4) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10"
The output will be "Not equal 10".  This illustrates that the Output +=10 calculation was never performed because processing stopped after the first operand was evaluated to be false. If you change the value of b1 to true processing occurs as you would expect and the output is "We are equal 20";.
16)Given the following variables
123456789123456789char c = 'c';

Classes  and Methods
---------------------------------

1).What will happen when you attempt to compile and run this code?
class Base{

        abstract public void myfunc();

        public void another(){

        System.out.println("Another method");

        }

}



public class Abs extends Base{

        public static void main(String argv[]){

        Abs a = new Abs();

        a.amethod();

        }



        public void myfunc(){

                System.out.println("My func");

                } 



        public void amethod(){

        myfunc();

        }

}




1) The code will compile and run, printing out the words "My Func"
2) The compiler will complain that the Base class is not declared as abstract.
3) The code will compile but complain at run time that the Base class has non abstract methods
4) The compiler will complain that the method myfunc in the base class has no body, nobody at all to looove it

 
Ans -2) The compiler will complain that the Base class is not declared as abstract.
If a class contains abstract methods it must itself be declared as abstract

2) The new operator creates a single instance named class and returns a reference to that object.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
3) A class is a template for multiple objects with similar features.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
4) What is meant by garbage collection?
Ans: When an object is no longer referred to by any variable, Java automatically reclaims the memory used by that object. This is known as garbage collection.
5) What are methods and how are they defined?
Ans: Methods are functions that operate on instances of classes in which they are defined.Objects can communicate with each other using methods and can call methods in other classes.
Method definition has four parts. They are name of the method, type of object or primitive type the method returns, a list of parameters and the body of the method. A method's signature is a combination of the first three parts mentioned above.
6) What is calling method?
Ans: Calling methods are similar to calling or referring to an instance variable. These methods are accessed using dot notation.
Ex: obj.methodname(param1,param2)
7) Which method is used to determine the class of an object?
Ans: getClass( ) method can be used to find out what class the belongs to. This class is defined in the object class and is available to all objects.
8)Given the following class definition, which of the following statements would be legal after the comment //Here
class InOut{

String s= new String("Between");
        public void amethod(final int iArgs){
       int iam;
              class Bicycle{
                       public void sayHello(){
                        //Here
                        }
                }//End of bicycle class
        }//End of amethod
       public void another(){
       int iOther;
       }

}
1) System.out.println(s);
2) System.out.println(iOther);
3) System.out.println(iam);
4) System.out.println(iArgs);
Ans – 1) System.out.println(s);
       4) System.out.println(iArgs);
A class within a method can only see final variables of the enclosing method. However it the normal visibility rules apply for variables outside the enclosing method.

9) How can class be imported to a program?
Ans: To import a class, the import keyword should be used as shown.;
import classname;
10) How can class be imported from a package to a program?
Ans: import java . packagename . classname (or) import java.package name.*;

a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
7) What are difference between break and continue?
Ans: The break keyword halts the execution of the current loop and forces control out of the loop.
The continue is similar to break, except that instead of halting the execution of the loop, it starts the next iteration.
8) The for loop repeats a set of statements a certain number of times until a condition is matched.
a)True
b)False
Ans: a.
9) Can a for statement loop indefintely?
Ans : Yes.
10) What is the difference between while statement and a do statement/
Ans : A while statement checks at the beginning of a loop to see whether the next loop iteration should occur.
A do statement checks at the end of a loop to see whether the next iteration of a loop should occur. The do statement will always execute the body of a loop at least once.
