syntax rules, then writes out
bytecodes in .class files.

MCQ No: 3
Which of the following files the
JVM(Java virtual machine) reads
and interprets?
a) .class
b) .java
c) .exe
d) .obj
Page: 6

Ans: a) .class
Explanation:
At run time, the JVM reads and
interprets .class files and executes
the program's instructions on the
native hardware platform for which
the JVM was written.

1) JVM w) Implicit memory
management
2) Garbage
collection
x) Bytecode
3) Objects y) Pool of memory
4) Heap z) Instance variables

Ans: a) 1-x, 2-w, 3-z, 4-y
Explanation: At run time, the JVM reads
and interprets Bytecode ( in .class files) and
executes the program's instructions on the
native hardware platform for which the JVM
was written.
When your Java application creates an object
instance at run time, the JVM automatically
allocates memory space for that object from
the heap, which is a pool of memory set
aside for your program to use. The Java
garbage collector runs in the background,
keeping track of which objects the application
no longer needs and reclaiming memory from
them. This approach to memory handling is
called implicit memory management because
it doesn't require you to write any memory-
handling code. Data field members of an
object is called instance variables.

MCQ No: 5
Which of the following process is
used by objects for communication
and coordination.
a) method calling
b) shared memory
c) stack
d) interpreter
Page: 10

Ans: a) method calling
Explanation: Objects talk to other
objects by sending messages
(method calls in the Java language).
Page: 11

MCQ No: 6
____________ access means the
object's attributes are accessible
only within the object itself. Fill in
the blank.
a) private
b) public
c) protected
d) default
Page: 12

Ans: a) private
Explanation:
On the Java platform, you can use
access specifiers to vary the
nature of object relationships from
public to private.
Public access is wide open,
whereas private access means the
object's attributes are accessible
only within the object itself.

MCQ No: 7
OOP introduces the concept of
inheritance, where a subclass can
"copy" the attributes and behavior of
the super class. If some of those
attributes or behaviors need to
changed in subclass, then you need
to __________ them. Fill in the
blank.
a) overload
b) override
c) delete
d) integrate
Page: 14

Ans: b) override
Explanation:
Overriding is a feature that allows a
subclass or child class to provide a
specific implementation of a method
that is already provided by one of its
super-classes or parent classes.
You only change what you need to
change in order to create
specialized objects.
Page: 15

MCQ No: 8
Which of the following is a
fundamental feature of object-
oriented programming language?
a) automatic garbage collection
b) creating objects and manipulating
objects
c) platform independence
d) all of the above
Page: 16

Ans: b) creating objects and
manipulating objects
Explanation:
Object-oriented programming is
centered on creating objects,
manipulating objects, and making
objects work together.
This allows you to create modular
programs and reusable code. It is the
fundamental feature of Object-oriented
programming languages.
Automatic garbage collection and
platform independence are features
specific to java(not present in all OOP
language, such as C++).
Page: 17

MCQ No: 9
Which of the following gives
platform independence to java
programs?
a) Bytecode
b) JVM
c) Both (a) and (b)
d) None of these
Page: 18

Ans: c) Both (a) and (b)
Explanation: JVM is needed in
order to run Java programs. The
programs are compiled into Java
Virtual Machine code called
bytecode.
The bytecode is machine
independent and is able to run on
any machine that has a Java Virtual
Machine. With Java, the program
need only be compiled once, and the
bytecode generated by the Java
compiler can run on any platform.

MCQ No: 10
______________ is the capability for
a program to perform several tasks
simultaneously within a program. Fill
in the blank.
a) Polymorphism
b) Multithreading
c) Exception Handling
d) Platform Independence
Page: 20

Ans: b) Multithreading
Explanation:
Multithreading is the capability for a
program to perform several tasks
simultaneously within a program. In
Java, multithreaded programming
has been smoothly integrated into it,
while in other languages, operating
system-specific procedures have to
be called in order to enable
multithreading. Multithreading is a
necessity in visual and network -
programming.

languages of the world. Before Unicode,
there were multiple standards to
represent character encoding − ASCII -
for the United States.

d) false
Page: 42

Ans: d) false
Explanation:
boolean data type represents one bit

MCQ No: 22
What is the default value of a
reference variable in java?
a) Garbage Value
b) Null Value
c) Zero
d) One
Page: 44

Ans: b) Null Value
Explanation:
Reference variable is used to point
object/values. Classes, interfaces,
arrays, enumerations, and,
annotations are reference types in
Java. In simple words, a reference
variable holds a reference to
information related to that variable. A
reference is an address that indicates
where an object's variables and
methods are stored.
Default value of any reference
variable is null.
