corrections in marcus green test1

[Bob Mathews]

hi all

i have just appeared in the marcus green test no 1.
11 questions were not in the current sylabus for scjp1.4

And question 59 says

class Base{
private void amethod(int iBase){
System.out.println("Base.amethod");
}
}
class Over extends Base{
public static void main(String argv[]){
Over o = new Over();
int iBase=0;
o.amethod(iBase);
}
public void amethod(int iOver){
System.out.println("Over.amethod");
}
}
1) Compile time error complaining that Base.amethod is private
2) Runtime error complaining that Base.amethod is private
3) Output of "Base.amethod"
4) Output of "Over.amethod
Answer :4

but i think Answer should be compile time error as none of the classes are public

correct we if i m wrong

And i have scored 41 correct of those 49 questions 84% roughly

what u ranchers suggest ?

regards
Nishant

I compiled and ran it to get Over.amethod. None of your classes need to be coderanch. The rule is that if a class is public it must have the same name as the file name and no more than one public class is allowed per file.

Notice that the second amethod is inside the definition of Over.

Two points,
It says very clearly in large letters at the top of the exam
"This exam is based on the objectives of the JDK 1.2 exam.
You can see set of 60 questions for the JDK1.4 exam at JDK1.4 Exam"

The other is that when you come accross an issue such as this you are best advised to compile the code yourself to see what happens. Javac is the best friend of the exam candidate.
