Question 1
Question
Definition: Describes an object in Java. Objects are created from these. Blueprints for a type of object. What am i?
Answer
-
Primitive Type
-
Class
-
Object
-
Field
Question 2
Question
An Object is a ...?
Answer
-
Dynamic Entity, Created after constructor is invoked; collection of instance variables represent status.
-
Shape, relationship and model.
-
A value stored in associative memory.
-
Blueprint of an class.
Question 3
Question
Difference between Primitive and Reference types?
Answer
-
Primitives are stored as status of objects and Reference types are stored in memory as values.
-
Primitive types are stored in associative memory as a value; Reference types are stored in associative memory as an address of object state.
-
No differences, both stored in associative memory.
-
Both are dynamic entities.
Question 4
Question
Difference between CLASS FIELD and INSTANCE VARIABLE?
Answer
-
Fields are the types of data used in the class and an instance variable is used when a object is created allowing you to call the fields from a class.
-
Fields in class definition specify types of data that consistute to the status of the object. Instance variables are created when the class constructor is invoked; an instance variable is set to each field.
-
Class fields use the static modifier and are the types of data used in a class; instance variables allow you to reference data outside of a class.
-
Class fields must always use the public modifier and instance variables are assigned to each field in the class on invoked.

Question 6
Question
A method contains a Return type and by convention starts with lower case letters, addMoney(). True or False.
Question 7

Answer
-
final boolean public normal_working_week = 37.5;
-
final boolean public NORMAL_WORKING_WEEK = 37.5;
-
final DOUBLE NORMAL_WORKING_WEEK = 37.5;
-
DOUBLE NORMAL_WORKING_WEEK = 37.5;
Question 8
Question
What is a class variable?
Answer
-
private static bookCount = 0;
public Book {
bookCount++;
}
-
private final bookCount = 0;
public Book {
bookCount++;
}
-
static private bookCount = 0;
public Book {
bookCount++;
}
-
private int bookCount = 0;
public Book {
bookCount++;
}
Question 9
Question
What is the sequence to create a count for True and False values?
Answer
-
Create a fixed sized array.
Initialise 'n' elements with the int 0.
For loop to iterate through array, checking if the value is True or False.
Increment index 0, by 1 if true; index 1 by 1, if false.
Return new array, [1, 2];

Question 10
Question
Difference between an Array and an ArrayList?
Answer
-
Array --> Fixed size, element can of only one type, but this type can be primitive/reference.
ArrayList --> Variable size, elements can be reference types.
-
Array --> Variable size, element can be any type, but this type can be primitive/reference.
ArrayList --> Variable size, elements can be reference types.

Question 11
Question
ArrayList<BankAccount> currentAccounts = new ArrayList<BankAccount>();
Is this Correct?
Question 12
Question
Accessor methods --> Changes state of object by updating a value of instance variables.
Mutator methods --> Return information about the state of 'this' object. Doesn't change the value of a field.
Question 13
Question
public boolean sendToService() {
return lastService + serviceInterval <= mileage;
}
Question 14
Question
What is recursion?
Answer
-
Process of a method calling another method.
-
Process of a method calling itself.
-
Process of a class calling another method.
-
Process of a class calling itself.
Question 15
Question
What are the 2 rules of Recursion?
Answer
-
Must have at least 2 base classes + must ensure recursive calls eventually reach the base classes.
-
Must have at least 1 base class + must ensure recursive calls eventually reach the base class.
-
Must have at least 1 base class + must ensure recursive call at least one field in the class.
-
Must have at least 1 base class + must ensure recursive calls contain more than one argument.
Question 16
Question
Tail Recursion --> Where the return is the last operation that happens in recursion. True? False?
Question 17
Question
Recursive is better than Iterative, true or false?
Question 18
Question
What is an algorithm?
Answer
-
A method in Java which is used to count the number of elements in an arrayList.
-
Step by step process to solve a problem. Step by step instructions which termine and uses pseudo code.
-
Step by step process to solve a problem. Step by step instructions which termine on a method and uses real code and Java statements.
-
Step by step process to solve a linear search. Step by step instructions which termine on a method and uses real code, english and expressions.
Question 19
Question
Worst-Case Complexity --> Maximum amount of computation used on an instance of a certain size. True or false?
Question 20
Question
SelectionSort Algorithm:
a = [a1, a2, ..., an]
k = 1
for i from 1 to (n - 1) do:
find item, next that should be in position 'i' in the sorted array.
swap items a, and next.
next = an (array reference);
indexOfNext = i;
for j from i+1 to n do:
if aj < next then:
next = aj
indexOfNext = j
endif
Is the complexity N^2?
Question 21
Question
Declare int indexOfNext and Comparable next;
For loop to iterate through array, but last element.
In for loop, assign next variable the current element and indexOfNext 'i'.
Still in for loop, do another for loop to iterate through all elements after current index, compare elements using compareTo() and assign next to a[j] and indexOfNext to 'j'; if next element is less than current element.
After 'j' for loop, a[indexOfNext] = a[i]; && a[i] = next; (Switch places).
Continue to loop!
Question 22
Question
Is this a correct statement?
Sorting.selectionSort(facebookFriends);

Question
What is inheritance?
Answer
-
Where a class implements another class or method. Features are inherited too.
-

-
Where the base class can inherit features and methods from another base class.
-
Where the subclass can inherit only methods from another base class.

Question 28
Question
Method Overriding?
Subclass changes it's behaviour of the baseclass, keeping the same method signature.

Question
Dynamic Binding
Operation to apply polymorphic variable is determined at runtime.
Depending on which class is currently assigned to a value (Account s), depends on which method is called.
