a) spawn(f);
b) load(filename,…);
c) readFile(file);

5. Which is a useful way to try out small and simple Rhino programs and one-liners?
a) Starting an interactive shell
b) Starting a one to one shell
c) Creating a thread to do simple programs
d) Starting a multiple shell

Answer: a
Clarification: Rhino is distributed as a JAR archive. Start it with a command line like this :
java -jar rhino1_7R2/js.jar program.js
If you omit program.js, Rhino starts an interactive shell, which is useful for trying out simple programs and one-liners.

6. Which is a more formal way of importing packages and classes as JavaScript objects?
a) import(java.util.*);
b) importClass(java.util.*);
c) import.Class(java.util.*);
d) Class.import(java.util.*);

Answer: b
Clarification: Because packages and classes are represented as JavaScript objects, you can assign them to variables to give them shorter names. But you can also more formally import them, if you want to:

importClass(java.util.HashMap); // Same as : var HashMap = java.util.HashMap

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

var f = new java.io.File("/tmp/test");
var out = new java.io.FileWriter(f);
out instanceof java.io.Reader

a) Error
b) True
c) Exception
d) False

Answer: d
Clarification: The output for the above code snippet is false as it is a writer and not a Reader.

8. What does Rhino do when the getter and setter methods exist?
a) It becomes JavaScript properties
b) Java classes are used to avoid them
c) Java classes & JavaScript properties
d) It act as javascript function

Answer: a
Clarification: Rhino allows JavaScript code to query and set the static fields of Java classes and the instance fields of Java objects. Java classes often avoid defining public fields in favor of getter and setter methods. When getter and setter methods exist, Rhino exposes them as JavaScript properties.

9. The JavaScript classes can be instantiated using _____ operator.
a) create
b) new
c) instantiate
d) create.new

Answer: b
Clarification: New is a keyword in JavaScript which is used to define new models. New operator is used to create new instance of the class.

a) java.Array
b) java.lang.*
c) java.lang.Array
d) java.lang.reflect.Array

Answer: d
Clarification: There is no natural JavaScript syntax that Rhino can extend to allow JavaScript programs to create new Java arrays, so you have to do that using the java.lang.reflect.Array class.

11. What will be the output of the following JavaScript code?

<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 
 Math.sin(90 * Math.PI / 180);
</script>

a) 1
b) 0
c) 1.6
d) 0.5

Answer: a
Clarification: Math.sin function evaluates the sine value of a particular input.
Math.PI function generates a value of 3.14.

12. What will be the output of the following JavaScript code?

<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Math.abs(-4.5);
</script>

a) -4.5
b) 4.5
c) 0
d) Error

Answer: b
Clarification: The Math.abs method returns the absolute positive value of the argument passed to it. The above code will hence generate an output of 4.5.

13. What will be the output of the following JavaScript code?

<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =

</script>

a) 0
b) -8
c) -200
d) 20

Answer: c
