hi all,

I have planned to give sun exam next week.I am confused a bit because of the mock scores. I score 70 to 75% with some easy exams like Green exam,javacertificate,4test etc. But I score 50 to 60% with some tough exam like Bill brogden,whizlabs etc.Should I appear for the exam? Or should I work more onthe exam? I have been preparing java since 2 months with no prior experience in java.What is the access level for actual exam?IS it easy than those mock exams?Please guide.

hi,
Following are queries from mock exam on go4java.20msite.
Which one of the following statements will give you an Exception when
placed at line no.10?Select one correct answer.

1 class AA{}
2 class BB extends AA{}
3 class casting
4 {
5 public static void main(String arg[])
6 {
7 AA a=new AA();
8 BB b=new BB();
9 AA c=new BB();
10 //Here
11 }
11 }

1. b = (BB) a;
2. a = b ;
3. b = (BB) c;
4. c = b;

class Q20
2 {
3 public static void main(String arg[])
4 {
5 Q20 e=null;
6 System.out.println(e.equals(null));
7 Q20 e1;
8 System.out.println(e1.equals(null));
9 }
10 }

1. Error at line no. 6
2. Excepetion at line no. 6

}
public void amethod(){
int i = 99;
ValHold v = new ValHold();
v.i=30;
another(v,i);
System.out.print( v.i );
}//End of amethod
public void another(ValHold v, int i){
i=0;
v.i = 20;
ValHold vh = new ValHold();
v = vh;
System.out.print(v.i);
System.out.print(i); }//End of another
}

hi,

I have been preparing for java certification 1.4. Accordingly I am doing mock exams on various sites.I get a score of 50 to 60%. Is this sufficient for me to clear Sun exam? If not how should I prepare for the exam? Are these mock exams on sites like jdiscuss and javabeat or some other sites equivalent in difficulty level to the real exam?

Thankyou

hi,
Is this valid?
Integer iwSize[] = new Integer[]{new Integer(1)}; Some mock exam says its valid while some say it is not.

What is forward referencing? I couldnt find it in Mughals book.

Is default modifier permitted for interface decalaration and memebers declared inside it? what modifiers are allowed?

Also can a dead thread be restarted?

Thankyou

hi all,
Following is a piece of code from javabeat mock exam 14.

public static void main (String args[]) {
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
label1: while (i++<5) {
label2:
for(; {
label3:
do {
System.out.print(i + j);
switch (i+j++) {
case 0: continue label3;
case 1: continue label2;
case 2: continue label1;
case 3: break;
case 4: break label3;
case 5: break label2;
case 6: break label1;
default: break label1; } }
while (++j<5); } } }}

hi,
following is a piece of code from javabeat mock exam 12.
if("String".trim() == "String".trim())
System.out.println("Equal");
else
System.out.println("Not Equal");
answer is it prints NOt equal.

* if(" String ".trim() == "String")
System.out.println("Equal");
else
System.out.println("Not Equal");
answer is Equal.


* if("String".replace('g','G') == "String".replace('g','G'))
System.out.println("Equal");
else
System.out.println("Not Equal");

answer is Not equal.
I am confused.Please explain.

hi,
I have been solving mock exams on javabeat site and facing with the understanding part.Here is one ,
What happens when the following code gets executed:
class TechnoSample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double d1 = 1.0;
double d2 = 0.0;
byte b =1;
d1 = d1/d2;
b = (byte) d1;
System.out.print(b);
}}

(1) It results in the throwing of an ArithmeticExcepiton
(2) It results in the throwing of a DivedeByZeroException
(3) It displays the value 1.5
(4) It displays the value ���1
answer is 1.Explain?
thankyou

hi,
Following is a query from javabeat mock exam 11.
What will be the result of attempting to compile and run the following program?
public class TestClass {
public static void main(String args[ ] ) {
A o1 = new C( ); 1.
B o2 = (B) o1; 2.
System.out.println(o1.m1( ) );
System.out.println(o2.i ); }}
class A{ int i = 10;
int m1( ) { return i; }}
class B extends A{ int i = 20;
int m1() {
return i; }}
class C extends B {
int i = 30;
int m1() {
return i;
}}

Select 1 correct option
(1) The progarm will fail to compile
(2) Class cast exception at runtime
(3) It will print 30, 20
(4) It will print 30, 30
(5) It will print 20, 20
answer is 3.

The method to be used depends on class of the object.Here it is an instance method so should it refer to class C for the first part of answer?
Please explain.

hi,
Following are some questions from javabeat site,mock exam number 10.
Given:
1. public class TeSet {
2. public static void main(String args[]) {
3. int m = 2;
4. int p = 1;
5. int t = 0;
6. for(;p < 5;p++) {
7. if(t++ > m) {
8. m = p + t;
9. }
10. }
11. System.out.println("t equals " + t);
12. }
13. }

What is the resulting value of t?

(1) 2
(2) 4
(3) 6
(4) 7
The answer is(2).

* Given the following code, what will be the output?
class Value{ public int i = 15;} //Value
public class Test{
public static void main(String argv[]){
Test t = new Test();
t.first(); }
public void first() {
int i = 5;
Value v = new Value();
v.i = 25;
second(v, i);
System.out.println(v.i); }
public void second(Value v, int i) {
i = 0;
v.i = 20;
Value val = new Value();
v = val;
System.out.println(v.i + " " + i);
}} // Test

(1) 15 0 20

(3) 20 0 20

(4) 0 15 20
answer is 1.
Please explain.

hi,

if ( i = =d) { System.out.println("Equal");}
C) Integer a = new Integer(10);
int b = 10;
if ( a = = b) { System.out.println("Equal");}

if ( a = = b) { System.out.println("Equal");}

answer is A.Please explain.
