20+ practice questions focused on Control Flow and Loops — one of the most tested topics on the Oracle Java Foundations 1Z0-811 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Control Flow and Loops PracticeA developer writes a loop to iterate over an array of integers. The loop must sum all elements and stop early if the sum exceeds 100. Which control flow construct should be used?
Explanation: Option B is correct because it uses a for loop with an index variable to iterate over the array, and includes an if statement with a break to exit the loop early when the sum exceeds 100. This ensures all elements are summed until the condition is met, and the loop stops immediately, preventing unnecessary iterations.
Which loop is guaranteed to execute its body at least once?
Explanation: The do-while loop is a post-test loop, meaning the condition is evaluated after the loop body executes. This guarantees that the body runs at least once, regardless of whether the condition is initially true or false. In Java, the do-while loop syntax is `do { ... } while (condition);`.
A developer needs to implement a menu-driven program that repeatedly displays options, reads input, and processes the choice until the user selects 'Exit'. Which loop structure and control flow is most appropriate?
Explanation: Option C is correct because a do-while loop guarantees at least one iteration, which is ideal for menu-driven programs where the menu must be displayed before any input is processed. The switch statement provides a clean, readable way to handle multiple discrete choices (like menu options) compared to a chain of if-else statements, and it aligns with Java's control flow best practices for such scenarios.
What is the output of the following code? int i = 0; while (i < 5) { if (i == 3) { i++; continue; } System.out.print(i + " "); i++; }
Explanation: The while loop iterates while i < 5. When i equals 3, the if condition triggers, incrementing i to 4 and then using continue to skip the print statement for that iteration. Thus, 3 is never printed, and the loop prints 0, 1, 2, and then 4 before i becomes 5 and the loop ends.
Which statement about the for-each loop in Java is true?
Explanation: Option A is correct because the for-each loop (enhanced for loop) in Java does not expose the iterator or index, so you cannot safely remove elements from a collection during iteration without using an explicit iterator and its remove() method. Attempting to remove directly will throw a ConcurrentModificationException.
