b) true and false are numeric values 0 and 1
c) true is any non zero value and false is 0
d) true and false are non numeric values

Answer: d
Clarification: True and false are keywords, they are non numeric values which do not relate to zero or non zero numbers. true and false are boolean values.

6. What will be the output of the following Java code?

```
    class Relational_operator 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```
```
            int var1 = 5; 
```
```
            int var2 = 6;
```

            System.out.print(var1 > var2);

```
        } 
```
```
    }
```

a) 1
b) 0
c) true
d) false

Answer: d
Clarification: Operator > returns a boolean value. 5 is not greater than 6 therefore false is returned.
output:

$ javac Relational_operator.java
$ java Relational_operator
false

7. What will be the output of the following Java code?

```
    class bool_operator 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {    
```
```
             boolean a = true;
```
```
             boolean b = !true;
```
```
             boolean c = a | b;
```
```
 	     boolean d = a & b;
```
```
             boolean e = d ? b : c;
```

```
        } 
```
```
    }
```

a) false false
b) true ture
c) true false
d) false true

Answer: d
Clarification: Operator | returns true if any one operand is true, thus ‘c = true | false’ is true. Operator & returns a true if both of the operand is true thus d is false. Ternary operator ?: assigns left of ‘:’ if condition is true and right hand of ‘:’ if condition is false. d is false thus e = d ? b : c , assigns c to e , e contains true.
output:

$ javac bool_operator.java
$ java bool_operator
false true

```
```
             int z;
```
```
             z = x > y ? x : y;

```
```
             int x , y = 1;
```
```
             x = 10;
```
```
             if (x != 10 && x / 0 == 0)
```
```
                 System.out.println(y);
```
```
             else
```

                 System.out.println(++y);

```
        } 
```
```
    }
```

a) 1
b) 2
c) Runtime error owing to division by zero in if condition
d) Unpredictable behavior of program

            for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++);

            end = System.currentTimeMillis();

            System.out.print(end - start);

```
        }
```
```
    }
```

a) 0
b) 1
c) 1000
d) System Dependent

Answer: d
Clarification: end time is the time taken by loop to execute it can be any non zero value depending on the System.
Output:

$ javac Output.java
$ java Output

8. What will be the output of the following Java code?

```
    class Output 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            byte a[] = { 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 };

            byte b[] = { 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 };

            System.arraycopy(a , 0, b, 0, a.length);

            System.out.print(new String(a) + " " + new String(b));

```
        }
```
```
    }
```

a) ABCDEF ABCDEF
b) ABCDEF GHIJKL
c) GHIJKL ABCDEF
d) GHIJKL GHIJKL

Answer: a
Clarification: System.arraycopy() is a method of class System which is used to copy a string into another string.
Output:

$ javac Output.java
$ java Output
ABCDEF ABCDEF

9. What will be the output of the following Java code?

```
    class Output 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            byte a[] = { 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 };

            byte b[] = { 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 };

            System.arraycopy(a, 2, b, 1, a.length-2);

            System.out.print(new String(a) + " " + new String(b));

```
        }
```
```
    }
```

a) ABCDEF GHIJKL
b) ABCDEF GCDEFL
c) GHIJKL ABCDEF
d) GCDEFL GHIJKL

Answer: b
Clarification: None.
Output:

$ javac Output.java
$ java Output
ABCDEF GCDEFL

10. What will be the output of the following Java code?

```
    class Output 
```
```
    {
```

        public static void main(String args[])

```
        {
```

            byte a[] = { 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 };

            byte b[] = { 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 };

            System.arraycopy(a, 1, b, 3, 0);

            System.out.print(new String(a) + " " + new String(b));

```
        }
```
```
    }
```

a) ABCDEF GHIJKL
b) ABCDEF GCDEFL
c) GHIJKL ABCDEF
d) GCDEFL GHIJKL

Answer: a
Clarification: Since last parameter of System.arraycopy(a,1,b,3,0) is 0 nothing is copied from array a to array b, hence b remains as it is.
Output:

$ javac Output.java
$ java Output
ABCDEF GHIJKL
