10) What is the output of the below Java program with an empty return
statement?
public class
TestingMethods2
{
void show()
{
System.out.println("SHOW
Method..");
return;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestingMethods2 t2 = new TestingMethods2();
t2.show();
}
}
A) SHOW Method..
B) No output
C) Compiler error
D) None
Answer [=]
A
Explanation:
Yes. A void method can use an empty return statement.
11) What is the output of the below Java program with a void method?
public class
TestingMethods3
{
void show2()
{
System.out.println("SHOW Method
2");
}
public static void main(String[] args)

TestingMethods3 t3 = new TestingMethods3();
t3.show2();
}
}
A) SHOW Method 2
B) No output
C) Compiler error
D) None
Answer [=]
A
Explanation:
The empty return statement is not necessary for a void method.

Answer [=]
C
13) What is the output of the below Java program with a "this"
operator?
public class TestingMethods4
{
int cakes=5;
void order(int cakes)
{
this.cakes = cakes;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestingMethods4 t4 = new TestingMethods4();
t4.order(10);
System.out.println("CAKES=" +
t4.cakes);
}
}
A) CAKES=5
B) CAKES=0
C) CAKES=10
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:
In the program, this.cakes refers to the instance variable cakes.

expressions without initializing it first. (TRUE / FALSE).
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
C) -
D) -
Answer [=]
A
15) What is the output of the below Java program?
public class

{
int localVariable;
System.out.println(localVariable);
}
}
A) 0
B) garbage value
C) NullPointerException
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:
In the above program, the localVariable is a Local variable and it is
not initialized. You can not use it in any expressions, not even printing.

instance objects.
18) What is the output of the Java program with static variables?
public class
TestingMethods6
{
static int cats=25;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestingMethods6 t6 = new TestingMethods6();
System.out.println("t6 BIRDS
before=" + t6.cats);
TestingMethods6 t7 = new TestingMethods6();
t7.cats = 10;
System.out.println("t6 BIRDS
after=" + t6.cats);
}
}
A)
t6 BIRDS before=25
t6 BIRDS after=25
B)
t6 BIRDS before=25
t6 BIRDS after=10
C)
t6 BIRDS before=25
t6 BIRDS after=0
D) None
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
The static variable "cats" is common to all objects. There is
no separate copy like non-static variables.
19) What is the output of the below Java program with a final local
variable?
public class
TestingMethods8
{
int cars = 20;
void change(final int cars)
{
cars = 10;
this.cars = cars;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestingMethods8 t8 = new TestingMethods8();
t8.change(30);
System.out.println(t8.cars);
}
}
A) 30
B) 20
C) 10
D) Compiler error
Answer [=]
D

The argument that is marked final can not be reassigned or changed. So,
the compiler error is produced. So, the statement cars=10; inside the change()
method is wrong.

C) -
D) -
Answer [=]
A
21) What is the output of the below Java program?

}
}
public class
TestingMethods10
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Road.show();
}
}
A) Inside static method.
B) empty message
C) Compiler error
D) Runtime error / exception
Answer [=]
A
Explanation:
You can directly call static methods of a class with just a DOT operator
and class-name.
22) What is the output of the below Java program?
class SomeClass
{
char batch = 'A';
}
public class
TestingMethods11
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SomeClass a1 = new SomeClass();
System.out.println("Before: " +
a1.batch);
SomeClass a2 = new SomeClass();
a2.batch = 'B';
System.out.println("After: " +
a1.batch);
}
}
A)
Before: A
After: B
B)
Before: A
After: A
C)
Before: A
After:
D)
Before: B
After: B
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:
Instance variable "batch" is separate for each instance. So
the changes to one instance object does not affect another instance object.
