Exam question on

[Charlie Swanson]

Which of the following is correct ? Select all correct answers.
A. The native keyword indicates that the method is implemented in another language like C/C++.
B. The only statements that can appear before an import statement in a Java file are comments.
C. The method definitions inside interfaces are public and abstract. They cannot be private or protected.
D. A class constructor may have public or protected keyword before them, nothing else.
The Correct answers were A and B.
I disagreed with B due to the fact that packages are stated befor
the import.
Can anyone please explain why B is correct and my answer was incorrect.

[Sean Casey]

I'd have to agree with you Charlie.

[Charlie Swanson]

Thank you for the help.

[Junaid Bhatra]

I think A and C are correct. Methods in an interface are public & abstract. They cannot be private, protected, static, final, etc.
The following code does not compile:
public interface test
{
private void aMethod();
}

[Charlie Swanson]

I ran the code, and it did not compile. It did compile for abstract and coderanch.

[Huasong Yin]

A and C are both correct.
C is correct because that all methods in an Interface should be declared coderanch. They are implicitly abstract whether you declare it or not.

hi,
Only A and C are correct. Package statment comes before import so there is no confusion about B
thanks
