Q49. Can an object's finalize() method be invoked while it is reachable?
An object's finalize() method cannot be invoked by the garbage collector while the object is still reachable. However, an object's finalize() method may be invoked by other objects.
Q50. What is the immediate superclass of the Applet class?
Panel
Q51. What is the difference between preemptive scheduling and time slicing?
Under preemptive scheduling, the highest priority task executes until it enters the waiting or dead states or a higher priority task comes into existence. Under time slicing, a task executes for a predefined slice of time and then reenters the pool of ready tasks. The scheduler then determines which task should execute next, based on priority and other factors.
Q52 Name three Component subclasses that support painting.
The Canvas, Frame, Panel, and Applet classes support painting.
Q53. What value does readLine() return when it has reached the end of a file?
The readLine() method returns null when it has reached the end of a file.
Q54. What is the immediate superclass of the Dialog class?
Window
Q55. What is clipping?
Clipping is the process of confining paint operations to a limited area or shape.
Q56. What is a native method?
A native method is a method that is implemented in a language other than Java.
Q57. Can a for statement loop indefinitely?
Yes, a for statement can loop indefinitely. For example, consider the following: for(;;) ;
Q58. What are order of precedence and associativity, and how are they used?
Order of precedence determines the order in which operators are evaluated in expressions. Associatity determines whether an expression is evaluated left-to-right or right-to-left
Q59. When a thread blocks on I/O, what state does it enter?
A thread enters the waiting state when it blocks on I/O.
Q60. To what value is a variable of the String type automatically initialized?
The default value of an String type is null.
Q61. What is the catch or declare rule for method declarations?
If a checked exception may be thrown within the body of a method, the method must either catch the exception or declare it in its throws clause.
Q62. What is the difference between a MenuItem and a CheckboxMenuItem?
The CheckboxMenuItem class extends the MenuItem class to support a menu item that may be checked or unchecked.
Q63. What is a task's priority and how is it used in scheduling?
A task's priority is an integer value that identifies the relative order in which it should be executed with respect to other tasks. The scheduler attempts to schedule higher priority tasks before lower priority tasks.
Q64. What class is the top of the AWT event hierarchy?
The java.awt.AWTEvent class is the highest-level class in the AWT event-class hierarchy.
Q65. When a thread is created and started, what is its initial state?
A thread is in the ready state after it has been created and started.
Q66. Can an anonymous class be declared as implementing an interface and extending a class?
An anonymous class may implement an interface or extend a superclass, but may not be declared to do both.
Q67. What is the range of the short type?
The range of the short type is -(2^15) to 2^15 - 1.
Q68. What is the range of the char type?
The range of the char type is 0 to 2^16 - 1.
Q69. In which package are most of the AWT events that support the event-delegation model defined?
Most of the AWT-related events of the event-delegation model are defined in the
java.awt.event package. The AWTEvent class is defined in the java.awt package.
Q70. What is the immediate superclass of Menu?
MenuItem
Q71. What is the purpose of finalization?
The purpose of finalization is to give an unreachable object the opportunity to perform any cleanup processing before the object is garbage collected.
Q72. Which class is the immediate superclass of the MenuComponent class.
Object
Q73. What invokes a thread's run() method?
After a thread is started, via its start() method or that of the Thread class, the JVM invokes the thread's run() method when the thread is initially executed.
Q74. What is the difference between the Boolean & operator and the && operator?
If an expression involving the Boolean & operator is evaluated, both operands are
evaluated. Then the & operator is applied to the operand. When an expression involving the && operator is evaluated, the first operand is evaluated. If the first operand returns a value of true then the second operand is evaluated. The && operator is then applied to the first and second operands. If the first operand evaluates to false, the evaluation of the second operand is skipped.
Q75. Name three subclasses of the Component class.
Box.Filler, Button, Canvas, Checkbox, Choice, Container, Label, List, Scrollbar, or TextComponent
Q76. What is the GregorianCalendar class?
The GregorianCalendar provides support for traditional Western calendars.
Q77. Which Container method is used to cause a container to be laid out and redisplayed?
validate()
Q78. What is the purpose of the Runtime class?
The purpose of the Runtime class is to provide access to the Java runtime system.
Q79. How many times may an object's finalize() method be invoked by the garbage collector?
An object's finalize() method may only be invoked once by the garbage collector.
Q80. What is the purpose of the finally clause of a try-catchfinally statement?
The finally clause is used to provide the capability to execute code no matter whether or not an exception is thrown or caught.
Q81. What is the argument type of a program's main() method?
A program's main() method takes an argument of the String[] type.
Q82. Which Java operator is right associative?
The = operator is right associative.
Q83. What is the Locale class?
The Locale class is used to tailor program output to the conventions of a particular
geographic, political, or cultural region.
Q84. Can a double value be cast to a byte?
Yes, a double value can be cast to a byte.
Q85. What is the difference between a break statement and a continue statement?
A break statement results in the termination of the statement to which it applies (switch, for, do, or while). A continue statement is used to end the current loop iteration and return control to the loop statement.
