Java MCQs on Methods of Java Programming Language.

1. What is the return type of a method that does not return any value?
a) int
b) float
c) void
d) double

Answer: c
Clarification: Return type of a method must be made void if it is not returning any value.

2. What is the process of defining more than one method in a class differentiated by method signature?
a) Function overriding
b) Function overloading
c) Function doubling
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: b
Clarification: Function overloading is a process of defining more than one method in a class with same name differentiated by function signature i:e return type or parameters type and number. Example – int volume(int length, int width) & int volume(int length , int width , int height) can be used to calculate volume.

3. Which of the following is a method having same name as that of it’s class?
a) finalize
b) delete
c) class
d) constructor

Answer: d
Clarification: A constructor is a method that initializes an object immediately upon creation. It has the same name as that of class in which it resides.

4. Which method can be defined only once in a program?
a) main method
b) finalize method
c) static method
d) private method

Answer: a
Clarification: main() method can be defined only once in a program. Program execution begins from the main() method by java runtime system.

5. Which of this statement is incorrect?
a) All object of a class are allotted memory for the all the variables defined in the class
b) If a function is defined public it can be accessed by object of other class by inheritation
c) main() method must be made public
d) All object of a class are allotted memory for the methods defined in the class

Answer: d
Clarification: All object of class share a single copy of methods defined in a class, Methods are allotted memory only once. All the objects of the class have access to methods of that class are allotted memory only for the variables not for the methods.

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