Given:
11. static void test() throws RuntimeException {
12. try {
13. System.out.print(”test “);
14. throw new RuntimeException();
15. }
16. catch (Exception ex) { System.out.print(”exception “); }
17. }
18. public static void main(String[] args) {
19. try { test(); }
20. catch (RuntimeException ex) { System.out.print(”runtime “); }

Answer: D

Question 82
Given a method that must ensue that its parameter is not null:
11. public void someMethod(Object value) {
12. // check for null value
....
20. System.out.println(value.getClass());
21. }
What, inserted at line 12, is the appropriate way to handle a null
value?
A. assert value == null;
B. assert value !null, “value is null”;
C. if (value == null) {
throw new AssertionException(”value is null”);
D. if (value == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(”value is null”);
Answer: D

Question 83
Click the Exhibit button.
10. public class ClassA {
11. public void methodA() {
12. ClassB classB = new ClassB();
13. classB.getValue();
14. }
15. }
And:
20. class ClassB {
21. public ClassC classC;
22.
23. public String getValue() {
24. return classC.getValue();
25. }
26. }
And:
30. class ClassC {
31. public String value;
32.
33. public String getValue() {
34. value = “ClassB”;
35. return value;
36. }
37. }
Given:
ClassA a = new ClassA();
a.methodA();
What is the result?
A. Compilation fails.
B. ClassC is displayed.

Answer: D

Question 84
Given:
10. public class Foo {
11. static int[] a;
12. static { a[0]=2; }
13. public static void main( String[] args) {}
14. }
Which exception or error will be thrown when a programmer attempts
to run this code?
A. java.lang. StackOverflowError
B. java.lang.IllegalStateException
C. java.lang.ExceptionlnlnitializerError
D. java.lang.ArraylndexOutOfBoundsException
Answer: C

Question 85
Given:
10. public class ClassA {
11. public void count(int i) {
12. count(++i);
13. }
14. }
And:
20. ClassA a = new ClassA();
21. a.count(3);
Which exception or error should be thrown by the virtual machine?
A. StackOverflowError

Question 86
Given:
1. public class Boxer1 {
2. Integer i;
3. int x;
4. public Boxer1(int y) {
5. x=i+y;
6. System.out.println(x);
7. }
8. public static void main(String[] args) {
9. new Boxer1(new Integer(4));
10. }
11. }
What is the result?
A. The value “4” is printed at the command line.
B. Compilation fails because of an error in line 5.
C. Compilation fails because of an error in line 9.
D. A NullPointerException occurs at runtime.

F. An IllegalStateException occurs at runtime.
Answer: D

Question 87
Given:
1. public class TestString 1 {
2. public static void main(String[] args) {
3. String str = “420”;
4. str += 42;
5. System.out.print(str);
6. }
7. }
What is the output?
A. 42
B. 420
C. 462
D. 42042
E. Compilation fails.
F. An exception is thrown at runtime.
Answer: D

Question 88
Given:
11. class Converter {
12. public static void main(String[] args) {
13. Integer i = args[0];
14. int j = 12;
15. System.out.println(”It is “ + (j==i) + “that j==i.”);
16. }
17. }
What is the result when the programmer attempts to compile the code
and run it with the command java Converter 12?
A. It is true that j==i.
B. It is false that j==i.
C. An exception is thrown at runtime.
D. Compilation fails because of an error in line 13.
Answer: D

Question 89
Given this method in a class:
21. public String toString() {
22. StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
23. buffer.append(’<’);
24. buffer.append(this.name);
25. buffer.append(’>’);
26. return buffer.toString();
27. }
Which is true?
A. This code is NOT thread-safe.
B. The programmer can replace StringBuffer with StringBuilder with no
other changes.
C. This code will perform well and converting the code to use
StringBuilder will not enhance the performance.
D. This code will perform poorly. For better performance, the code
should be rewritten: return “<“+ this.name + “>”;
Answer: B

Question 90
Given:
1. public class MyLogger {
2. private StringBuilder logger = new StringBuuilder();
3. public void log(String message, String user) {
4. logger.append(message);
5. logger.append(user);
6. }
7. }
The programmer must guarantee that a single MyLogger object works
properly for a multi-threaded system. How must this code be changed
to be thread-safe?
A. synchronize the log method
B. replace StringBuilder with StringBuffer
C. No change is necessary, the current MyLogger code is already
thread-safe.
D. replace StringBuilder with just a String object and use the string
concatenation (+=) within the log method
Answer: A
