4. byte z = (byte)100L;

a) 1 and 2
b) 2 and 3
c) 3 and 4
d) All statements are correct.

Answer: d
Explanation:Statements (1), (2), (3), and (4) are correct. (1) is correct because when a floating-point number (a double in this case) is cast to an int, it simply loses the digits after the decimal.(2) and (4) are correct because a long can be cast into a byte. If the long is over 127, it loses its most significant (leftmost) bits.(3) actually works, even though a cast is not necessary, because a long can store a byte.

a) delete
b) free
c) new
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: Java handles deallocation of memory automatically, we do not need to explicitly delete an element. Garbage collection only occurs during execution of the program.

output:
$ javac inheritance.java
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
i cannot be resolved or is not a field

9. What is the output of this program?

1. class A {

2. public int i;

3. private int j;

4. }

5. class B extends A {

6. void display() {

7. super.j = super.i + 1;

8. System.out.println(super.i + " " + super.j);

9. }

10. }

11. class inheritance {

12. public static void main(String args[])

13. {

14. B obj = new B();

15. obj.i=1;

16. obj.j=2;

17. obj.display();

18. }

19. }

a) 2 2
b) 3 3
c) Runtime Error
d) Compilation Error

Answer: d
Explanation: class contains a private member variable j, this cannot be inherited by subclass B and does not have access to it.

output:
$ javac inheritance.java
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The field A.j is not visible

9. What is the output of this program?

1. class A {

2. public void display() {

3. System.out.println("A");

4. }

5. }

6. class B extends A {

7. public void display() {

8. System.out.println("B");

9. }

10. }

11. class Dynamic_dispatch {

12. public static void main(String args[])

13. {

14. A obj1 = new A();

15. B obj2 = new B();

16. A r;

17. r = obj1;

18. r.display();

19. r = obj2;

20. r.display();

21. }

22. }

a) A B
b) B A
c) Runtime Error
d) Compilation Error

Answer: a
Explanation: Call to display function of class A and class B is made by using dynamic method dispatch, by using this method a call to an overridden function is resolved at run time, rather than at compilation time.

output:
$ javac Dynamic_dispatch.java
$ java Dynamic_dispatch
A B

10. What is the output of this program?

1. class A {

2. int i;

3. public void display() {

4. System.out.println(i);

5. }

6. }

7. class B extends A {

8. int j;

9. public void display() {

10. System.out.println(j);

11. }

12. }

13. class Dynamic_dispatch {

14. public static void main(String args[])

15. {

16. B obj2 = new B();

17. obj2.i = 1;

18. obj2.j = 2;

19. A r;

20. r = obj2;

21. r.display();

22. }

23. }

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer: b
Explanation: r is reference of type A, the program assigns a reference of object obj2 to r and uses that reference to call function display() of class B.

output:
$ javac Dynamic_dispatch.java
$ java Dynamic_dispatch
2
