Which four options describe the correct default values for array elements of the types indicated?
  1. int -> 0
  2. String -> "null"
  3. Dog -> null
  4. char -> '\u0000'
  5. float -> 0.0f
  6. boolean -> true
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 3, 4, 5
2, 4, 5, 6
3, 4, 5, 6
Answer: Option
Explanation:

(1), (3), (4), (5) are the correct statements.

(2) is wrong because the default value for a String (and any other object reference) is null, with no quotes.

(6) is wrong because the default value for boolean elements is false.

That shows in hexa representation
java is same as c ,we can say this by this because java uses the syntax of c. for more advantages and comfortable they created java as platform independent

Integer 0.
Float 0. 0.
Double 0. 0.
String null.
Character has nothing as default value.

Is that Dog is a user define data type.
Or we can say that Dog is a object of a class.
class A
{
...
...
}
class B
{
A Dog=new A();
}

How we know the meaning of hexadecimal representation by looking?

Dog is not a primitive data type but you can define data types according to you in java. Here we are defining a class and its type is "Dog". I mean we have declare a Dog type class. Now when you create its object that is MyDog, it will contain "null" value.

class A
{
...
...
}
class B
{
A Dog=new A();
}

Here class a is non premitive datatype and Dog is as object reference variable which holds the object referenced.

How did you all came to know that '/u0000' is hex and what is exactly char default value null or space??

Muthamil.A said:   1 decade ago
char default value "space" in java .
char default value \u0000 in c.
dog s a object so that default value null.

why (3) is correct, as we don't know the data type of DOG so we can't say what will be the default that it may hold.

If DOG is any object then 'DOG -> null' will be ok but here we don't know anything about the word DOG so default value can't be assumed by words.
