Lesson Quiz

Each question in this quiz corresponds to that lesson, so if you miss a specific problem, go back to that problem’s lesson to review.

1. What is the correct syntax of creating a variable s of type Scanner, reading input from the console?

a. new Scanner s = Scanner(new File(“user.txt”));
b. Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
c. new Scanner(new File(“user.txt”)) = Scanner s;
d. Scanner s = new Scanner(new File(“user.txt”));

2. Which signature line is for a method with three int parameters( a, b, c ), returns a String, has a name “method1”, and should not be accessed outside of the class.

a. public (int a, int b, int c) method1 String {...}
b. private method1 String (int a, int b, int c) {...}
c. private String (int a, int b, int c) method1 {...}
d. private String method1(int a, int b, int c) {...}

3. Which is the proper way of declaring a three dimensional int array of dimensions 5x5x5?

a. int[[[]]] arr = new int[ 5 [ 5 [5] ] ];
b. int[][][] arr = new int[5][5][5];
c. int{} arr = new int{ { {5} } };
d. int[] arr = new int[5]int[5]int[5];

4. What is the syntax of a foreach loop which traverses a one dimensional String array, “ar”, of length 7?

a. for (ar : String s) {...}
b. for (String[7] ar : String s) {...}
c. for (String s : ar) {...}
d. for (String s : String[7] ar) {...}

5. What is the result of the below statement?

    Math.abs(-1 * Math.sqrt(3 * Math.pow(3, 3)))
a. 9
b. 9.0
c. 3
d. -81.0

6. What will occur from the following code?

    int a = 1;
    while (a != 0) {
        a *= 4;
    }
a. An infinite loop will occur.
b. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown.
c. ClassCastException will be thrown.
d. NullPointerException will be thrown.
