Hi ALl,
This is from the IBM Mock test. An answer along with an explantion is requested.
Which the following are legal for the top level class FROG ?
1. protected class Frog extends Animal
2. private class Frog extends Animal
3. transient class Frog extends Animal
4. native class Frog extends Animal
Thx

Hi Aruna,
As I know, top level classes may not be private,protected. transient is applicable only for variables.
native is applicable only for functions ( to call a fn. of like c/c++).
So none of the answers are correct.

Hi Chitra,
Thanks for ur explanation, That was the same thing what I thought too. But what to answer if such question is posed in the SCJP ? Should a answer be selected or can it be left blank....
Confused.

On the real exam (but not IBM's apparently), there will always be at least one correct answer. So if you can't find one, keep looking.
