Question 171
Given:
1. public class Person {
2. private String name;
3. public Person(String name) { this.name = name; }
4. public boolean equals(Person p) {
5. return p.name.equals(this.name);
6. }
7. }
Which is true?
A. The equals method does NOT properly override the Object.equals
method.
B. Compilation fails because the private attribute p.name cannot be
accessed in line 5.
C. To work correctly with hash-based data structures, this class must
also implement the hashCode method.
D. When adding Person objects to a java.util.Set collection, the equals
method in line 4 will prevent duplicates.
Answer: A

Question 172
Which two statements are true about the hashCode method? (Choose
two.)
A. The hashCode method for a given class can be used to test for
object equality and object inequality for that class.
B. The hashCode method is used by the java.util.SortedSet collection
class to order the elements within that set.
C. The hashCode method for a given class can be used to test for
object inequality, but NOT object equality, for that class.
D. The only important characteristic of the values returned by a
hashCode method is that the distribution of values must follow a
Gaussian distribution.
E. The hashCode method is used by the java.util.HashSet collection
class to group the elements within that set into hash buckets for
swift retrieval.
Answer: CE

Question 173
Given:
enum Example { ONE, TWO, THREE }
Which is true?
A. The expressions (ONE == ONE) and ONE.equals(ONE) are both
guaranteed to be true.
B. The expression (ONE < TWO) is guaranteed to be true and
ONE.compareTo(TWO) is guaranteed to be less than one.
C. The Example values cannot be used in a raw java.util.HashMap;
instead, the programmer must use a java.util.EnumMap.
D. The Example values can be used in a java.util.SortedSet, but the
set will NOT be sorted because enumerated types do NOT implement
java.lang.Comparable.
