1Z0-811 Quick Quiz — 10 Questions

Question 1

Which THREE are primitive data types in Java? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

int. Option A (int) is correct because int is one of Java's eight built-in primitive types, representing a 32-bit signed two's-complement integer. Option B (boolean) is correct because boolean is a primitive type that holds only the values true or false, with a size defined by the JVM. Option D (double) is correct because double is a primitive type storing a 64-bit IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point value. Option C (String) is not a primitive; it is a reference type, specifically a final class in java.lang, and its literals are interned objects. Option E (Object) is also a reference type, the root class of the Java class hierarchy, not a primitive.

Answer

String

Answer

Object

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit. A Java program throws a NullPointerException. Which is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

An object not initialized before use. A NullPointerException is thrown when the JVM attempts to access a method or field on an object reference that is null. The most common cause is that the object was declared but never instantiated (e.g., `String s; s.length();`). This is a runtime exception, not a compile-time error, so it occurs during execution when the reference variable points to null.

Answer

A syntax error in the try block

Answer

Incorrect classpath preventing class loading

Answer

A missing import statement in the source code

Question 3

A programmer is writing code that needs to store the result of a comparison that checks whether a number is greater than 10. Which primitive type should be used for the variable that holds this result?

Accepted Answer

boolean. The boolean primitive type is specifically designed to hold true or false values. A comparison using the greater-than operator produces a boolean result. Therefore, the variable should be declared as boolean to directly store the outcome of the comparison without any conversion.

Answer

int

Answer

char

Answer

double

Question 4

A developer runs the command shown in the exhibit. The developer wants to ensure the application uses the latest available language features. Which action should the developer take?

Accepted Answer

Download and install a newer version of the JDK.. The latest available language features (e.g., pattern matching, sealed classes, records) are tied to the JDK version. Downloading and installing a newer JDK provides both the compiler (javac) and runtime (JVM) that support those features. Simply upgrading the JVM (Option D) or using -source/-target flags (Option C) does not enable new language syntax in the compiler if the JDK itself is outdated.

Answer

Enable lambda expressions by setting the -enable-lambdas flag.

Answer

Use the -source and -target flags to compile for a newer version.

Answer

Upgrade the JVM to the latest version.

Question 5

What is the output of the following code? int[] a = {1,2,3}; int[] b = a; b[0] = 99; System.out.println(a[0]);

Accepted Answer

99. In Java, arrays are reference types. When `int[] b = a;` is executed, `b` does not create a new array; it simply references the same array object as `a`. Therefore, modifying `b[0]` directly changes the element in the original array `a`, so `a[0]` prints 99.

Answer

0

Answer

1

Answer

Compilation error

Question 6

A developer writes: int a = 9; int b = 2; double result = a / b; System.out.println(result); What is the output?

Accepted Answer

4.0. (4.0). In Java, when dividing two integers, the result is integer division, which truncates the fractional part. So 9 / 2 yields 4 (int). This int value is then assigned to a double variable, resulting in 4.0. Option A (4) would be the result of printing an int, but since result is double, it prints 4.0. Option C is incorrect because the code compiles fine. Option D is incorrect because 4.5 would require at least one operand to be double (e.g., a / (double)b).

Answer

4

Answer

Compilation error

Answer

4.5

Question 7

What is the output?

```java
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s1 = "hello";
        String s2 = "hello";
        System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));
    }
}
```

Accepted Answer

True. The code compares two String objects 's1' and 's2' using the equals() method. Since both strings have the same content "hello", equals() returns true. The System.out.println statement then prints 'True'.

Answer

No output

Answer

Compilation error

Answer

False

Question 8

A junior developer created a class 'BankAccount' with public fields for balance and account number. After deployment, users are able to set negative balances, causing issues. Which OOP principle should have been applied to prevent this?

Accepted Answer

Encapsulation. Encapsulation is the OOP principle that involves bundling data (fields) and methods that operate on that data within a single unit (class) and restricting direct access to some of the object's components. By making fields private and providing public getter and setter methods, the class can enforce validation rules, such as preventing negative balances. This would have prevented users from setting invalid values directly.

Answer

Inheritance

Answer

Abstraction

Answer

Polymorphism

Question 9

A developer is preparing to run a Java application on a colleague's computer. The colleague has installed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) but not the Java Development Kit (JDK). The developer needs to explain what the colleague can and cannot do. Which statement is accurate?

Accepted Answer

The colleague can run compiled Java applications because the JRE includes the JVM and core class libraries.. The JRE is the runtime environment for Java applications. It includes the JVM and the core class libraries required to execute compiled bytecode, but it does not include development tools such as the compiler, debugger, or documentation generator. A colleague with only the JRE can run a compiled Java application but cannot compile or create new Java source code.

Answer

The colleague can create new Java classes because the JRE includes the Java compiler and debugger.

Answer

The colleague can compile Java source files because the JRE includes javac.

Answer

The colleague can generate API documentation because the JRE includes the javadoc tool.

Question 10

A developer is reviewing code that declares several numeric variables. Which of the following declarations correctly assigns a floating-point literal to a variable of type float without causing a compile-time error?

Accepted Answer

float price = 19.99f;. Decimal literals are double by default, so assigning one to a float variable requires either an explicit cast or a literal suffix that makes it a float. Adding the f suffix creates a float literal that matches the variable type and compiles cleanly. The double-suffixed literal and the String literal both fail because they are not implicitly convertible to float.

Answer

float price = "19.99";

Answer

float price = 19.99d;

Answer

float price = 19.99;
