Question 1

The method that must be implemented in a class using the Comparable interface is:
(a)public Object compareTo(Object other)
(b)public Boolean compareTo(Object other)
(c)public int compareTo(Object other)
(d)none of the above

C

Accepted Answer

The correct method signature to implement in a class using the Comparable interface is public int compareTo(Object other), which takes an Object as a parameter and returns an integer. This method is used to compare the current object with the specified object and it should return a negative integer if the current object is less than the specified object, zero if they are equal, and a positive integer if the current object is greater than the specified object. Option A is incorrect because it returns an Object instead of an integer, while option B is incorrect because it returns a Boolean instead of an integer. Option D is incorrect because at least one of the options A, B, and C must be implemented to use the Comparable interface.

Question 2

A class that uses an interface must use the keyword:&#10;(a)Extends&#10;(b)Inherits&#10;(c)Super&#10;(d)Implements

Accepted Answer

When a class wants to implement the methods defined in an interface, it must use the keyword "implements" followed by the interface name. The keyword "extends" is used to inherit from a superclass, while "super" is used to call a constructor or method of a superclass. "Inherits" is not a keyword in Java.

Question 3

If an inner class contains non static members,then the class name must be modified by the keyword:&#10;(a)Final&#10;(b)Static&#10;(c)Void&#10;(d)Protected

Accepted Answer

The keyword "static" must be added to the inner class name if it contains non-static members. This is because an inner class can only be instantiated within an instance of the outer class, but non-static members are associated with instances of the inner class itself rather than the outer class. By making the inner class static, its members are associated with the outer class itself and can be accessed without first instantiating an instance of the inner class.

Question 4

The Comparable interface is in the ______________ package.&#10;(a)java.util&#10;(b)java.io&#10;(c)java.awt&#10;(d)java.lang

Accepted Answer

The Comparable interface is part of the java.lang package, which contains fundamental classes and interfaces closely tied to the language.

Question 5

A Java interface is an example of:&#10;(a)encapsulation&#10;(b)abstraction&#10;(c)polymorphism&#10;(d)all of the above

Accepted Answer

A Java interface is an example of abstraction, as it provides a way to define a set of method signatures without providing any implementation details. While interfaces also contribute to encapsulation and polymorphism in Java, they are primarily used for abstraction.

Question 6

A class that implements an interface but only gives definitions for some of the method headings given in the interface is called a/an:
(a)concrete class
(b)abstract class
(c)discrete class
(d)friendly class

Accepted Answer

A class that implements an interface but only gives definitions for some of the method headings given in the interface is called a/an:
(a)concrete class
(b)abstract class
(c)discrete class
(d)friendly class

Question 7

Inner classes available outside the scope of their outer class are modified by the keyword:&#10;(a)Public&#10;(b)Private&#10;(c)Protected&#10;(d)Package access

Accepted Answer

Inner classes are by default private and can only be accessed within the outer class. To access the inner class outside the scope of its outer class, it needs to be modified with the keyword public, making it accessible to other classes. Protected or package access would restrict access to the inner class.

Question 8

Any constant variables defined in an interface must be defined as:&#10;(a)public&#10;(b)private&#10;(c)protected&#10;(d)package access

Accepted Answer

Any constant variable defined in an interface must be defined as public as it needs to be accessible to the implementing class. Private, protected, or package access fields cannot be accessed by the implementing class.

Question 9

Java interfaces are a way of simulating multiple inheritance.

Accepted Answer

Java interfaces allow a class to inherit methods and constants from multiple interfaces, similar to multiple inheritance. However, unlike multiple inheritance, a class can implement multiple interfaces without inheriting implementation details from them.

Question 10

An interface specifies the headings and definitions for methods that must be defined in any class that implements the interface.

Accepted Answer

An interface specifies the headings (signatures) for methods, but it does not provide the definitions. The implementing class is responsible for providing the definitions for these methods.
