1Z0-829 Method Overriding Practice Question

This 1Z0-829 practice question tests your understanding of utilizing java object-oriented approach. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. A key principle to apply: method Overriding. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello");
    }
}

And the command:

$ javac Main.java
$ java Main

Output:
Hello

Now consider this class in another file:

public class Sub extends Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("World");
    }
}

Compiled and run:

$ java Sub

What is the output?

Refer to the exhibit. Two Java classes are defined as shown. What is the output when the Sub class is executed?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

World

Option B is correct because the Sub class overrides the print() method from Super and does not call super.print(). Therefore, when Sub's print() is executed, it only prints "World" without printing "Hello". The output is simply "World".

Key principle: Method Overriding

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • HelloWorld

    Why it's wrong here

    Only Sub's main method runs, not both.

  • World

    Why this is correct

    Sub's main method is executed, printing 'World'.

    Related concept

    Method Overriding

  • Hello

    Why it's wrong here

    Sub's main method does not invoke Main's main; it prints 'World'.

  • No output (compilation error)

    Why it's wrong here

    Both classes compile and run without error.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Oracle often tests whether candidates understand that an overridden method in a subclass does not automatically execute the superclass version unless explicitly called with super.method(), leading many to mistakenly think the superclass method runs first by default.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

In Java, method overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method defined in its superclass. The @Override annotation (optional) helps catch errors at compile time. When a subclass method does not call super.method(), the superclass implementation is completely replaced. In this scenario, the Sub class's print() method does not invoke super.print(), so only its own implementation runs, outputting "World". This is a common pattern when a subclass wants to completely replace behavior rather than extend it.

  • super Keyword

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A practitioner preparing for the 1Z0-829 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Method Overriding Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
