A developer is working on a Java application that processes user input. The application reads an integer from the command line using args[0], converts it to an int, and uses it in a loop. When testing, the application throws a NumberFormatException when the user provides an alphabetic string. The developer needs to handle this exception gracefully by prompting the user to enter a valid number and retrying. However, the developer must avoid infinite loops. The current code uses a while loop with a flag. Which approach ensures the code handles the exception, provides feedback, and terminates if the user enters 'quit'? The environment is a standard Java SE 11 application. The developer wants a robust solution without using external libraries.

A financial trading application processes high-volume transactions. The system uses a multithreaded architecture where multiple threads update a shared Account object's balance field. Recently, intermittently incorrect balance calculations have been reported. Developers suspect a race condition on the balance field. The Account class is defined as follows: public class Account { private double balance = 0.0; public void deposit(double amount) { balance += amount; } public void withdraw(double amount) { balance -= amount; } public double getBalance() { return balance; } } Threads are created using ExecutorService with a fixed thread pool. The issue occurs only under heavy load. Which course of action should the development team take to resolve the issue while maintaining performance?

A junior developer wrote the following code to calculate the sum of an array: int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; int sum = 0; for (int i = 1; i <= numbers.length; i++) { sum += numbers[i]; } System.out.println("Sum: " + sum); The developer expects the output to be 15, but the program throws an exception. What is the root cause and the correct fix?

A team is developing a library management system. They have a base class 'Item' with a method 'getTitle()' that returns the title. They also have a subclass 'Book' that overrides 'getTitle()'. In some places, they have a method that accepts an Item reference but actually receives a Book object. They want to call a method specific to Book, such as 'getISBN()', that is not in Item. They attempt to cast the parameter: ((Book) item).getISBN(). However, occasionally the program crashes with ClassCastException. What is the best practice to avoid this exception?

A web application uses a HashMap to cache user session data. The keys are String objects representing session IDs, and values are Session objects. After some time, the cache memory usage grows excessively, causing OutOfMemoryError. The cache is never cleared. The team decides to implement a cache eviction policy. Which approach is best suited for this scenario in terms of Java standard library?

A mobile app backend uses Java streams to process user data. The code snippet filters users who are active and older than 18, then collects them into a list: List<User> result = users.stream() .filter(u -> u.isActive()) .filter(u -> u.getAge() > 18) .collect(Collectors.toList()); Performance metrics show that this stream operation is slow when the user list has millions of entries. The team wants to improve performance without changing the business logic. Which change would most likely improve performance?

A developer is writing a program to find the maximum value in an array of integers. The code is: int[] nums = {10, 20, 5, 30, 15}; int max = 0; for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { if (nums[i] > max) { max = nums[i]; } } System.out.println(max); The output is 30, which is correct for this array. However, the developer is concerned that if all numbers are negative, the output would be 0 instead of the highest negative number. Which modification ensures the algorithm works correctly for all integer arrays?

You are tasked with debugging a Java application that processes temperature sensor readings. The application reads an array of double values representing temperatures in Celsius, and should output the number of readings that exceed a threshold of 30.0°C. The current implementation is: public class TemperatureAnalyzer { public static void main(String[] args) { double[] readings = {25.5, 32.1, 30.0, 28.9, 35.7}; int count = 0; for (int i = 0; i < readings.length; i++) { if (readings[i] > 30.0) { count++; } } System.out.println("Count: " + count); } } However, the output is "Count: 3" instead of the expected 2 (since 30.0 is not above the threshold). The developer believes the issue is that the condition should be '>=' to include 30.0, but the specification says strictly above 30.0. After further investigation, you discover that the problem is due to floating-point imprecision when comparing with the literal 30.0. Which of the following changes would correctly fix the comparison to reliably count readings strictly greater than 30.0, considering floating-point representation?

Which TWO of the following are valid Java identifiers? (Choose two.)

A developer is building a Java application for a bank that processes account transactions. The application reads transaction amounts from a CSV file provided by a third party. The amounts are in string format, e.g., '1,234.56' or '$5,000.00'. The developer uses Integer.parseInt() to convert these strings to integers for processing. However, many transactions fail with NumberFormatException. The developer adds a try-catch block to catch the exception and log the error. But still, the application fails to process valid transactions because the parsing does not handle the formatting. The development team is considering several approaches to fix this issue. The goal is to parse the string into an integer representing the whole dollar amount (ignoring cents and formatting). Which course of action should the developer take?
