Option B generates a compiler error: <identifier> expected. The compiler thinks you are trying to create two arrays because there are two array initialisers to the right of the equals, whereas your intention was to create one 3 x 3 two-dimensional array.

To correct the problem and make option B compile you need to add an extra pair of curly brackets:

int [ ] [ ] scores = { {2,7,6}, {9,3,45} };

(2), (3), and (5). These are all valid interface method signatures.

(1), is incorrect because an interface method must be public; if it is not explicitly declared public it will be made public implicitly. (4) is incorrect because interface methods cannot be static.

Option D is correct, compilation fails - The return type of getLength( ) in the super class is an object of reference type Integer and the return type in the sub class is an object of reference type Long. In other words, it is not an override because of the change in the return type and it is also not an overload because the argument list has not changed.

In the first two iterations x is incremented once and y is not because of the short circuit && operator. In the third and forth iterations x and y are each incremented, and in the fifth iteration x is doubly incremented and y is incremented.

The case statement takes only a single argument. The case statement on line 4 is given two arguments so the compiler complains.

The variable i will have the values 0, 1 and 2.

When i is 0, nothing will be printed because of the break in case 0.

When i is 1, "one two three" will be output because case 1, case 2 and case 3 will be executed (they don't have break statements).

When i is 2, "two three" will be output because case 2 and case 3 will be executed (again no break statements).

Finally, when the for loop finishes "done" will be output.

Look closely at line 2, is this an equality check (==) or an assignment (=). The condition at line 2 evaluates to false and also assigns false to bool. bool is now false so the condition at line 6 is not true. The condition at line 10 checks to see if bool is not true ( if !(bool == true) ), it isn't so line 12 is executed.

An exception Exc1 is thrown and is caught by the catch statement on line 11. The code is executed in this block. There is no finally block of code to execute.

Once the program throws a RuntimeException (in the throwit() method) that is not caught, the finally block will be executed and the program will be terminated. If a method does not handle an exception, the finally block is executed before the exception is propagated.

An object that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys; each key can map to at most one value.

(2) is an incorrect statement because there is no such requirement.

(3) is an incorrect statement and therefore a correct answer because the hashcode for a string is computed from the characters in the string.

This code would be legal if line 11 ended with a semicolon. Remember that line 5 is a statement that doesn't end until line 11, and a statement needs a closing semicolon!

Option A is correct. wait() causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.

Option B is wrong. notify() - wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

Option C is wrong. notifyAll() - wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

Option D is wrong. Typically, releasing a lock means the thread holding the lock (in other words, the thread currently in the synchronized method) exits the synchronized method. At that point, the lock is free until some other thread enters a synchronized method on that object. Does entering/exiting synchronized code mean that the thread execution stops? Not necessarily because the thread can still run code that is not synchronized. I think the word directly in the question gives us a clue. Exiting synchronized code does not directly stop the execution of a thread.

The Object class defines these thread-specific methods.

Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not define these methods. And yes, the Java API does define a class called Class, though you do not need to know it for the exam.

You have two different threads that share one reference to a common object.

The updating and output takes place inside synchronized code.

One thread will run to completion printing the numbers 1-10.

The second thread will then run to completion printing the numbers 11-20.

There are two ways of creating a thread; extend (sub-class) the Thread class and implement the Runnable interface. For both of these ways you must implement (override and not overload) the public void run() method.

(1) is correct - Extending the Thread class and overriding its run method is a valid procedure.

(4) is correct - You must implement interfaces, and runnable is an interface and you must also include the run method.

(2) is wrong - Runnable is an interface which implements not Extends. Gives the error: (No interface expected here)

(3) is wrong - You cannot implement java.lang.Thread (This is a Class). (Implements Thread, gives the error: Interface expected). Implements expects an interface.

(5) is wrong - You cannot implement java.lang.Thread (This is a class). You Extend classes, and Implement interfaces. (Implements Thread, gives the error: Interface expected)

The class correctly implements the Runnable interface with a legal public void run() method.

Option A is incorrect because interfaces are not extended; they are implemented.

Option B is incorrect because even though the class would compile and it has a valid public void run() method, it does not implement the Runnable interface, so the compiler would complain when creating a Thread with an instance of it.

Option D is incorrect because the run() method must be public.

Arguments start at array element 0 so the fourth arguement must be 2 to produce the correct output.

Math.random() returns a double value greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. Its value is stored to an int but as this is a narrowing conversion, a cast is needed to tell the compiler that you are aware that there may be a loss of precision.

The value after the decimal point is lost when you cast a double to int and you are left with 0.

No constructor has been defined for class B therefore it will make a call to the default constructor but since class B extends class A it will also call the Super() default constructor.

Since a constructor has been defined in class A java will no longer supply a default constructor for class A therefore when class B calls class A's default constructor it will result in a compile error.
