BSCCS2005: Graded Assignment with Solutions
Week 7
1. Consider the code given below. [ARUP:MCQ:2 points]
import java.util.logging.*;
public class SomeClass {
public void logIt(){
Logger.getGlobal().info("First message");
}
}
public class FClass {
public static void main(String[] args){
SomeClass obj = new SomeClass();
obj.logIt();
Logger.getGlobal().log(Level.FINE, "second message");
Logger.getGlobal().setLevel(Level.OFF);
try {
throw new ArithmeticException();
}
catch(Exception e) {
Logger.getGlobal().log(Level.SEVERE, "third message");
}
}
}
Identify the result when the code gets executed.
It prints nothing
√
<date time> SomeClass logIt
INFO: First message
<date time> SomeClass logIt
INFO: First message
<date time> FClass main
FINE: second message
<date time> SomeClass logIt
INFO: First message
<date time> FClass main
SEVERE: third message
Solution: By default, the top three levels of the logging levels are logged. Thus,
second message is not printed.
The statement Logger.getGlobal().setLevel(Level.OFF); suppress all the log-
ging. Thus, the string third message is not printed.

2. Consider the Java classes (each written into a different file as denoted) given below.
[ARUP:MCQ:2 points]
//FILE-1
package in.ac.iitm;
import java.util.logging.*;
public class SomeClass{
private final static Logger logbook = Logger.getLogger("in.ac.iitm");
public void doIt(){
logbook.warning("start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm");
logbook.setLevel(Level.OFF);
logbook.warning("end of doIt() in in.ac.iitm");
}
}
//FILE-2
package in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree;
import java.util.logging.*;
public class SomeClass{
private final static Logger logbook =
Logger.getLogger("in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree");
public void doIt(){
logbook.warning("start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree");
logbook.setLevel(Level.OFF);
logbook.warning("end of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree");
}
}
//FILE-3
public class FClass{
public static void main(String[] args){
in.ac.iitm.SomeClass obj1 = new in.ac.iitm.SomeClass();
in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass obj2 =
new in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass();
obj1.doIt();
obj2.doIt();
}
}
Identify the result when the code gets executed.
√
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
Page 3
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
<date time> in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: end of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
<date time> in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
<date time> in.ac.iitm.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: end of doIt() in in.ac.iitm
<date time> in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: start of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree
<date time> in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree.SomeClass doIt
WARNING: end of doIt() in in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree
Solution: The program logger two different logger for two different SomeClass
classes.
Since, logger names are hierarchical, if we set log level as OFF on the logger in.ac.iitm,
then the child logger in.ac.iitm.onlinedegree inherits that level.

3. Consider the Java code given below. [ARUP:MCQ:2 points]
public class MainClass{
public static double compute(int a, int b){
int c = 0;
assert a > 0: "a must be > 0"; //assert-1
assert b > 0: b; //assert-2
c = a / b;
assert c >= 0: c; //assert-3
return Math.sqrt(c);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
int a = 10;
int b = -5;
assert b != 0: "b == 0"; //assert-4
compute(a, b);
}
}
Identify the first assert statement that throws the AssertionError when the class is
executed as:
java -ea MainClass
assert-1
√
assert-2
assert-3
assert-4
Solution: The condition given for the assert statement assert-2 is false, so it
throws the AssertionError.

4. Consider the Java code given below. [ARUP:MCQ:2 points]
public class DOBRegistration{
private int day, month, year;
public DOBRegistration(int day, int month, int year){
assert 0 < day && day <= 31: "day :" + day; //assert-1
this.day = day;
assert 0 < month && month <= 12: "day :" + day; //assert-2
this.month = month;
this.year = year;
}
}
public class JobApplication{
private int age;
public JobApplication(int age){
assert age >= 18: "invalid age for job"; //assert-3
this.age = age;
}
}
public class TaxReturn {
private double income;
public TaxReturn(double income){
assert income >= 100000.00: income; //assert-4
this.income = income;
}
}
public class FClass3{
public static void main(String[] args){
DOBRegistration dr = new DOBRegistration(2, 23, 1879);
JobApplication ja = new JobApplication(20);
TaxReturn tr = new TaxReturn(75000.00);
}
}
Identify the assert statement that throws the AssertionError when the class is exe-
cuted as:
java -ea:... -da:DOBRegistration FClass
assert-1
assert-2
assert-3
√
assert-4
Page 6
Solution: Since assertions are enabled for all the classes exxcept class DOBRegistration.
Thus, assert statement assert-4 throws AsserionError.

5. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option.
[Anand : MCQ : 2 points]
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a=10,b=0;
try{
int c=a/b;
System.out.println("Quotient is "+c);
}
catch (Exception ae){
System.out.println("Exception handled");
}
catch (ArithmeticException ae){
System.out.println("ArithmeticException handled");
}
}
}
This code generates the output:
Exception handled
This code generates the output:
ArithmeticException handled
This code generates the output:
Exception handled
ArithmeticException handled
√
Compilation error
Solution: catch blocks must be ordered from most specific exceptions to most gen-
eral exception; otherwise the specific exception block after general exception block
becomes unreachable code.
Page 8
6. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option. [Anand : MCQ : 2
points]
public class Example{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
int a=10/0;
}
finally{
System.out.println("In finally block");
}
System.out.println("Program execution finished");
}
}
Compilation error
√
This program terminates abnormally after printing the message:
In finally block
The program terminates successfully after printing the message:
In finally block
The program terminates successfully after printing the message:
In finally block
Program execution finished
Solution: In the above program, there is no corresponding catch block for handling
ArithmeticException, hence the program terminates abnormally.
Page 9
7. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option for Line 1 such that the
code prints: String index out of its range. [Anand : MCQ : 2 points]
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String name = "IIT Madras";
try{
System.out.println(name.charAt(10));
}
//Line 1
}
}
catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e){
System.out.println("String index out of its range");
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("String index out of its range");
}
catch (Throwable t){
System.out.println("String index out of its range");
}
√
All of the above
Solution: In the above program, the statement name.charAt(10) throws
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException which can be caught by using StringIndexOut-
OfBoundsException/Exception/Thowable catch blocks.
Page 10
8. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option.
[Anand : MCQ : 2 points]
public class Example{
public void show(){
NullPointerException e = new NullPointerException();
e.initCause(new ArithmeticException());
throw e;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Example object = new Example();
try{
object.show();
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
System.out.println(e.getCause());
}
}
}
√
This program generates the output.
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.ArithmeticException
This program generates the output.
java.lang.NullPointerException
This program generates the output.
java.lang.ArithmeticException
Compilation error
Solution: In above program used exception rethrow concept.
Here java.lang.NullPointerException chained with the java.lang.ArithmeticException
Page 11
9. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option. [Anand : MCQ : 2
points]
public class Example{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a=10,b=0;
try{
int c=a/b;
System.out.println("Quotient is "+c);
}
catch (ArithmeticException e){
System.out.println(10/0);
System.out.println("b value should not be zero");
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception handled");
}
}
}
Compilation error
The program terminates normally after printing the message:
b value should not be zero
The program terminates normally after printing the message:
Exception handled
√
The program terminates abnormally due to unhandled exception(s).
Solution: The statement int c = a/b; causes an ArithmeticException, which
results in the execution of the corresponding catch block. However, the statement
System.out.println(10/0); inside the catch block throws another ArithmeticException,
which remains unhandled. As a result, the program gets terminated abruptly.
Page 12
10. Consider the following Java code and choose the correct option(s). [Anand : MSQ : 2
points]
//Data.java
package util.iitm.java;
public class Data{
void show(){
System.out.println("This is show");
}
}
//UseData.java
package iitm.java.program;
public class UseData {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new util.iitm.java.Data().show();
}
}
Compilation error in Data.java
√
Data.java gets compiled.
√
Compilation error in UseData.java
UseData.java gets compiled.
Solution: Data.java gets compiled without any errors and Data.class is created
under the util.iitm.java package.
Compilation error in UseData.java because show() is not declared as public, and
hence you cannot access it outside the package.
Page 13
11. Consider the following two source code files located in two different packages as shown.
[MSQ : 2 points]
//Adder.java
package iitm;
public class Adder {
int add(int n1, int n2, int n3) {
return n1+n2+n3;
}
protected int add(int n1,int n2) {
return n1+n2;
}
}
//Test1.java
package test;
import iitm.*;
class Calculator extends Adder{
public void calculate() {
System.out.println(this.add(7,8,9)); // LINE 1
System.out.println(this.add(9,10)); // LINE 2
}
}
public class Test1{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Adder a1 = new Adder();
System.out.println(a1.add(4,5)); // LINE 3
System.out.println(a1.add(1,2,3)); // LINE 4
new Calculator().calculate();
}
}
Choose the correct option regarding these two .java files.
LINE 1 will not lead to compilation error.
√
LINE 2 will not lead to compilation error.
LINE 3 will not lead to compilation error.
LINE 4 will not lead to compilation error.
Page 14
Solution: protected members of a class can only be accessed in subclasses within
the package as well as outside the package.
Members of a class where access specifier is not mentioned explictly are treated
as package-private types and can only be accessed within that specific package.
public members are accessible through out all packages and all classes
Therefore the Adder object a1 inside the test1 class’s main method can only access
public members of Adder class.
The Calculator class can access the protected members of the Adder class along
with public members (if any) because Calculator class is a subclass of Adder.
