1.
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.

Dog - There is no primitive datatype like 'Dog'. It is a User Defined type. By default it will hold null value.

Prathyusha said:   1 decade ago
HI,
No where the "Dog" datatype is mentioned.
If Dog is integer , the default might be -0
If Dog is float , the default might be -0.0f
If Dog is object ,the default might be -null
.... No where it is mentioned whether Dog is wat datatype.
HELP ME IN THIS REGARD.....

@Shaswati

It is nothing but a class created by a user.

Ex: Dog, Student, Car etc.

The question is 'what will be default value?'.


Student objStud1;

Here objStud1 will contain 'null' value by default.

Dear Sir,

1) Default value for array element of type char is nothing , not even null
2) Default value for array element of type float is 0.0 not 0.0f

class hello
{
public static void main(String str[])
{
int i[] = new int[5];
float f[] = new float[5];
double d[] = new double[5];
String s[] = new String[5];
char c[] = new char[5];
boolean b[] = new boolean[5];

System.out.println("Hello World");
System.out.println("Integer "+i[0]);
System.out.println("Float "+ f[0]);
System.out.println("Double " + d[0]);
System.out.println("String " + s[0]);
System.out.println("Character " + c[0]);
System.out.println("Boolean " + b[0]);
}
}
