Question 21

When an interface lists a method as "optional," you do not need to implement it when defining a class that implements the interface.

Question 22

The number of entries that may be added to a HashMap object is limited to what is specified as the initial capacity in the constructor for the HashMap object.

Question 23

A vector can potentially encounter an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

Question 24

Write a Java statement that changes the value of element 27 to 5.0 in the resulting vector in number 3 above.

Question 25

An Iterator is an object that allows your code to produce the elements in a vector or other container one after the other,exactly once.

Question 26

Write a Java statement to resize the resulting vector in number 2 above to 100.

Question 27

What is the difference between a vector's size and a vector's capacity?

Question 28

Write a Java statement to create a vector with initial capacity of 50.

Question 29

What must you do before adding a primitive type to a vector?

Question 30

The List interface is for collections that allow repetition of elements and do not impose an order on their elements.

Question 31

Classes that implement the Set interface allows duplicate elements to occur.

Question 32

The difference between the List interface and the Set interface is that the Set interface does not impose an order on its unique elements.

Question 33

The V parameter in a HashMap may be any object,but the K parameter must be a String.
