Thank you.

Hi Marilyn,
Thanks for ur reply. I am using win98. When I was using it last feb-mar it was working fine but now it doesnt work. As I said I am not getting the questions. only answer choices and there is no link to finish (ie, the Done button) also. So please look into this as I really like to test my standing with this game.
Thank you.

can someone tell me what is natural order?
does a set store unique elements in natural order or is it a sorted set or hash set?
one more question can a static inner class be accessed only from the outer class or from the package directly or only with outer class insatance?
thank you

hi everybody,
i took the exam on 24th and i didnt get through..i got 34 answers right and didnt pass the exam....the big surprise is i had never failed in any of the mock exams and i always scored 75-80% in the mock tests even in the first one i took...and the day i went for exam i got 100% in the rules roundup game...and i really dont know what went wrong....
this was a very big blow to me as i've never failed in my life...even in a class test...

i am planning to take the exam again..but i really dont know where to start and what other ways can i prepare? iam really off and bummed with this. Now i have no idea of how to study or what to do. Can someone please guide me how to prepare and how do i start again....

thank you all...but still, iam confused...
i read from khalid that thread is set to normal priority but in mock exams they say its the parent threads priority...
so if i have to answer in exam which one should i choose?
for eg:
state true or false
if a thread is not assigned a priority during creation the priority assigned to it is Thread.NORM_PRIORITY
please clear my doubt soon as iam taking the exam tomorrow

if the priority for the thread is not specified during creation whaat is the priority of that thread?
is it normal priority set by the constant NORM_PRIORITY or is it that the priority is the same as the priority of the thread that creates it...please answer soon
thank you in advance

Which methods may cause a thread to stop executing?
1 sleep();
2 stop();
3 yield();
4 wait();
5 notify();
6 notifyAll()
7 synchronized()
Select all correct answers.
the correct answers are 1,2,3,4.
but in khalid it is given clearly as "calls to methods suspend(), sleep() and wait() do not stop a thread..they only cause the thread to move out of its running state. a thread will stop only when it is done executing the run method"
which one is right...please answer me

Hi everybody,
i have some simple,basic questions...hope someone can clear my doubts...
1. does a class having final method be declared final?
2. can overloaded methods throw exception that is not in the other method? what are the exception rules for method overloading?
3. are long and float variables valid if declared as
long l=256788;
float f=8.909923;
ie. without L/l and f following them....?
4. i saw this question s += i; where s is short and i is integer and finally when you evaluate it is stored in short then howcome this expression is valid? are the rules diffrent for short circuit evaluation?
5. which of the following are valid gridbag constraints?
1 ipadx
2 fill
3 insets
4 width
the right answer is 1,2. why is insets not a valid constraint?
i guess it is also a constraint in gridbad constraint class
thank you
gayathri
