Multiple-Choice Questions

1) During program development, software requirements specify
A) how the program will accomplish the task
B) what the task is that the program must perform
C) how to divide the task into subtasks
D) how to test the program when it is done
E) all of the above
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The specification phase is to understand the problem at hand so that the
programmer can determine what needs to be done to solve the problem. The other efforts listed
above are part of the design phase (A, C) and testing phase (D).

2) Once we have implemented the solution, we are not done with the problem because
A) the solution may not be the best (most efficient)
B) the solution may have errors and need testing and fixing before we are done
C) the solution may, at a later date, need revising to handle new specifications
D) the solution may, at a later date, need revising because of new programming language
features
E) all of the above
Answer: E
Explanation: E) A program should not be considered as a finished product until we are
reasonably assured that it is efficient and error-free. Further, it is common that programs require
modification in the future because of a change to specifications or a change to the language or
computer running the program.

3) Of the various phases in software development, which of the following is usually the
lengthiest?
A) specification
B) design
C) implementation
D) testing
E) maintenance
Answer: E
Explanation: E) The maintenance phase exists for as long as the software is in use. Software
requires modification (such as new requirements such as new features or I/O specifications) and
so the maintenance phase is on-going whereas the other phases end once the software has been
released and is in use.

4) In general, spending more time in development to ensure better software will
A) shorten testing time
B) slightly reduce maintenance efforts
C) slightly increase maintenance efforts
D) greatly reduce maintenance efforts
E) not alter the time it takes for any other stage whatsoever
Answer: D
Explanation: D) Spending more time in development promises better software, which in turn
leads to less maintenance effort.

5) In order to create a constant, you would use which of the following Java reserved words?
A) private
B) static
C) int
D) final
E) class
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The reserved word final indicates that this is the final value that will be stored
in this variable, thus making it unchangeable, or constant. While constants can be of type int,
constants can be of any other type as well. It is the final reserved word that makes the value
unchangeable.

6) Static methods cannot
A) reference instance data
B) reference non-static instance data
C) reference other objects
D) invoke other static methods
E) invoke non-static methods
Answer: B
Explanation: B) A static method is a method that is part of the class itself, not an instantiated
object, and therefore the static method is shared among all instantiated objects of the class. Since
the static method is shared, it cannot access non-static instance data because all non-static
instance data are specific to instantiated objects. A static method can access static instance data
because, like the method, the instance data is shared among all objects of the class. A static
method can also access parameters passed to it.

7) An object that refers to part of itself within its own methods can use which of the following
reserved words to denote this relationship?
A) inner
B) i
C) private
D) this
E) static
Answer: D
3
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Explanation: D) The reserved word this is used so that an object can refer to itself. For instance,
if an object has an instance data x, then this.x refers to the object's value x. While this is not
necessary, it can be useful if a local variable or parameter is named the same as an instance data.
The reserved word this is also used to refer to the class as a whole, for instance, if the class is
going to implement an interface class rather than import an implementation of an interface class.


8) Which of the following interfaces would be used to implement a class that represents a group
(or collection) of objects?
A) Iterator
B) Speaker
C) Comparable
D) MouseListener
E) KeyListener
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Iterator is an abstract class allowing the user to extend a given class that
implements Iterator by using the features defined there. These features include being able to
store a group of objects and iterate (step) through them.
9) It is important to dissect a problem into manageable pieces before trying to solve the problem
because
A) most problems are too complex to be solved as a single, large activity
B) most problems are solved by multiple people and it is easy to assign each piece to a separate
person
C) it is easier to integrate small pieces of a program into one program than it is to integrate one
big chunk of code into one program
D) our first solution may not solve the problem correctly
E) all of the above
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Any interesting problem will be too complex to solve easily as a single activity.
By decomposing the problem, we can build small solutions to each piece and then integrate the
pieces. Answer D is true, but does is not the reason why we will break a problem down into
pieces.

10) Having multiple class methods of the same name where each method has a different number
of or type of parameters is known as
A) encapsulation
B) information hiding
C) tokenizing
D) importing
E) method overloading
Answer: E
Explanation: E) When methods share the same name, they are said to be overloaded. The
number and type of parameters passed in the message provides the information by which the
proper method is called.

11) The goal of testing is to
A) ensure that the software has no errors
B) find syntax errors
C) find logical and run-time errors
D) evaluate how well the software meets the original requirements
E) give out-of-work programmers something to do
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Testing is required because all software will have errors. Complex systems
especially need testing before they can be released. The types of errors sought are logical errors
and run-time errors. All syntax errors will have been identified and fixed during implementation.
12) Arranging components in a GUI container is accomplished by using which of the following?
A) Layout manager
B) Listener interface
C) String array
D) Event generator
E) JComboBox
Answer: A
Explanation: A) There are several classes of Layout managers. A Layout manager is used to
add GUI components to the container in some manner. The type of Layout manager determines
how items are added.

13) Which Layout Manager type would you use if you want GUI components to be placed at the
North, South, East, West and Center of the container?
A) FlowLayout
B) BorderLayout
C) BoxLayout
D) GridLayout
E) TabbedPane
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The BorderLayout specifically allows you to specify the component's location
as one of NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST or CENTER where the value (e.g., NORTH) is a
constant predefined in the class.

5

14) Which Layout Manager type would you use if you want GUI components to be placed in 2
columns over 5 rows?
A) FlowLayout
B) BorderLayout
C) BoxLayout
D) GridLayout
E) TabbedPane
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The GridLayout manager allows you to specify the number of rows and
columns and then add elements across the column on one row until it is filled, and then on to the
next row, until all of the rows are filled.
15) Which Layout Manager is used by default if you do not specify a Layout Manager for your
GUI container?
A) FlowLayout
B) BorderLayout
C) BoxLayout
D) GridLayout
E) TabbedPane
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The FlowLayout is the default manager. It places GUI items across in one row
only. Other Layout Managers are more sophisticated and lead to better designed containers.


16) In which phase of program development would you expect the programmer(s) to create the
pseudocode?
A) Software requirements
B) Software design
C) Software implementation
D) Software testing
E) Could occur in any of the above
Answer: B
Explanation: B) Pseudocode is a description of an algorithm written in an English-like way
rather than in a specific programming language. This is part of the program's design. In the
implementation phase, the programmer(s) translates the pseudocode into the programming
language being used.

17) Which of the following is considered a top-level container?
A) Panel
B) Frame
C) Box
D) Layout Manager
E) A, B, and C
Answer: B
Explanation: B) While the answers in A, B and C are all types of containers, the Box and Panel
are made available to contain other components and are themselves placed into other containers.
6
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Frame is a top-level container because a Frame will not store other Frames, but instead, the
Frame contains Panels which can contain Boxes, Panels and other components.

18) In which phase of program development would you expect the programmer(s) to determine
the classes and objects needed?
A) software requirements
B) software design
C) software implementation
D) software testing
E) could occur in any of the above
Answer: B
Explanation: B) Determining which classes and objects to use or create is part of the design.
19) If a programmer follows the four phases of program development as intended, which of the
four phases should require the least amount of creativity?
A) software requirements
B) software design
C) software implementation
D) software testing
E) none of the above, all four levels would require equal creativity
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Once the implementation phase has been reached, the algorithm should have
already been specified, so the only effort involved in the implementation phase is of translating
from the design (which is probably in an English-like pseudocode) to the programming language,
and entering the code through an editor. The requirements and design phases require
understanding the problem and coming up with a solution respectively, requiring creativity, and
the testing phase will require diagnostic abilities usually forcing the programmer(s) to be creative
in how the errors are found and fixed.



For the questions below, assume values is an int array that is currently filled to capacity, with
the following values:



20) What is returned by values[3]?
A) 9
B) 12
C) 2
D) 6
E) 3
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Java array indices, like those in most languages, start at 0, so values[3] is really
7
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
the fourth array element, which is 2.

21) What is the value of values.length?
A) 0
B) 5
C) 6
D) 7
E) 18
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The length operator for an array returns the size of the array. The above picture
shows that that values stores 7 elements and since it is full, the size of values is 7.

22) Which of the following loops would adequately add 1 to each element stored in values?
A) for (j=1; j<values.length; j++) values[j]++;
B) for (j=0; j<values.length; j++) values[j]++;
C) for (j=0; j<=values.length; j++) values[j]++;
D) for (j=0; j<values.length-1; j++) values[j]++;
E) for (j=1; j<values.length-1; j++) values[j]++;
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The first array element is values[0], so the for-loop must start at 0, not 1. There
are values.length elements in the array where the last element is at values.length-1, so the for
loop must stop before reaching values.length. This is the case in B. In D, the for loop stops 1
before values.length since "<" is being used to test the condition instead of <=.
23) The statement System.out.println(values[7]); will
A) output 7
B) output 18
C) output nothing
D) cause an ArrayOutOfBoundsException to be thrown
E) cause a syntax error
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The array has 7 values, but these are indexed values[0] to values[6]. Since
values[7] is beyond the bounds of the array, values[7] causes an ArrayOutOfBoundsException to
be thrown.

24) Which of the following is a legal way to declare and instantiate an array of 10 Strings?
A) String s = new String(10);
B) String[10] s = new String;
C) String[ ] s = new String[10];
D) String s = new String[10];
E) String[ ] s = new String;
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Declaring an array is done by type[ ] variable. Instantiating the array is done by
variable = new type[dimension] where dimension is the size of the array.

25) In Java, arrays are
8
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
A) primitive data types
B) objects
C) interfaces
D) primitive data types if the type stored in the array is a primitive data type and objects if the
type stored in the array is an object
E) Strings
Answer: B
Explanation: B) In Java, arrays are implemented as objects. The variable is a reference variable
to the block of memory that stores the entire array. However, arrays are accessed using the
notation name[index] rather than by message passing.
26) What does the following code do? Assume list is an array of int values, temp is some
previously initialized int value, and c is an int initialized to 0.
for (int j = 0; j < list.length; j++)
if (list[j] < temp) c++;
A) It finds the smallest value and stores it in temp
B) It finds the largest value and stores it in temp
C) It counts the number of elements equal to the smallest value in list
D) It counts the number of elements in list that are less than temp
E) It sorts the values in list to be in ascending order
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The statement if (list[j]<temp) c++; compares each element in list to temp and
adds one to c only if the element is less than temp, so it counts the number of elements in list less
than temp, storing this result in c.
For the questions below, assume an int array, candy, stores the number of candy bars sold by a
group of children where candy[j] is the number of candy bars sold by child j. Assume there are
12 children in all.

27) What does the following code do?
Scanner scan = Scanner.create(System.in);
int value1 = scan.nextInt( );
int value2 = scan.nextInt( );
bars[value1] += value2;
A) adds 1 to the number of bars sold by child value1 and child value2
B) adds 1 to the number of bars sold by child value1
C) adds value1 to the number of bars sold by child value2
D) adds value2 to the number of bars sold by child value1
E) inputs a new value for the number of bars sold by both child value1 and child value2
Answer: D
Explanation: D) bars[value1] is the number of bars sold by child value1, and += value2 adds to
this value the amount input for value2.
9
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
28) Which of the following code could be used to compute the total number of bars sold by the
children? Assume sums initial value is 0.
A) for (int j=0; j<12; j++) sum += candy[j];
B) for (int j=0; j<12; j++) candy[j] = sum;
C) for (int j=0; j<12; j++) sum = candy[j];
D) for (int j=0; j<12; j++) sum += [j];
E) for (int j=0; j<12; j++) [j] += sum;
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The code in A iterates through all 12 elements of candy, adding each value to
sum. The answer in B sets all 12 elements of candy equal to sum, the answer in C sets sum to be
each element of candy, resulting in sum = candy[11] and D and E have syntactically invalid
code.

29) What does the following method do?
public int question15( )
{
int value1 = 0;
int value2 = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < 12; j++)
if (candy[j] > value1)
{
value1 = candy[j];
value2 = j;
}
return value2;
}
A) It returns the total number of candy bars sold
B) It returns the total number of children who sold 0 candy bars
C) It returns the total number of children who sold more than 0 candy bars
D) It returns the number of candy bars sold by the child who sold the most candy bars
E) It returns the index of the child who sold the most candy bars
Answer: E
Explanation: E) The loop iterates through all 12 array elements. If a particular value of candy is
found to be larger than value1, then this new value is remembered in value1 along with the index
of where it was found in value2. As the loop continues, if a new candy value is found to be
greater than the current value1, then it is remembered instead, so the loop finds the maximum
number of candy bars sold in value1 and the child's index who sold the most in value2. Since
value2 is returned, the code returns the index of the child who sold the most.

30) Consider the array declaration and instantiation: int[ ] arr = new int[5]; Which of the
following is true about arr?
A) It stores 5 elements with legal indices between 1 and 5
B) It stores 5 elements with legal indices between 0 and 4
C) It stores 4 elements with legal indices between 1 and 4
D) It stores 6 elements with legal indices between 0 and 5
E) It stores 5 elements with legal indices between 0 and 5
Answer: B
Explanation: B) Arrays are instantiated with an int value representing their size, or the number
of elements that they can store. So, arr can store 5 elements. Further, all arrays start at index 0
and go to index size - 1, so arr has legal indices of 0 through 4.
31) If an int array is passed as a parameter to a method, which of the following would adequately
define the parameter list for the method header?
A) (int[ ])
B) (int a[ ])
C) (int[ ] a)
D) (int a)
E) (a[ ])
Answer: C
Explanation: C) The parameter is defined much as the variable is originally declared, as type
parameter name. Here, the type is int[ ] and the parameter is a.

32) If int[ ] x = new int[15]; and the statement x[-1] = 0; is executed, then which of the following
Exceptions is thrown?
A) IndexOutOfBoundsException
B) ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
C) NegativeArraySizeException
D) NullPointException
E) ArithmeticException
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The array index is out of bounds as the array index can only be between 0 and
14. -1 is an illegal index because it is out of bounds. One might expect the answer to be C, but
the NegativeArraySizeException is thrown if an array is being declared with a negative number
of elements as in int[ ] x = new int[-5];
33) Assume that BankAccount is a predefined class and that the declaration BankAccount[ ]
firstEmpireBank; has already been performed. Then the following instruction reserves
memory space for
firstEmpireBank = new BankAccount[1000];
A) a reference variable to the memory that stores all 1000 BankAccount entries
B) 1000 reference variables, each of which point to a single BankAccount entry
C) a single BankAccount entry
D) 1000 BankAccount entries
E) 1000 reference variables and 1000 BankAccount entries
11
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The declaration BankAccount[ ] firstEmpireBank; reserves memory space for
firstEmpireBank, which itself is a reference variable that points to the BankAccount[ ] object.
The statement firstEmpireBank = new BankAccount[1000]; instantiates the BankAccount[ ]
object to be 1000 BankAccount objects. This means that firstEmpireBank[0] and
firstEmpireBank[1] and firstEmpireBank[999] are all now legal references, each of which is a
reference variable since each references a BankAccount object. So, the statement reserves
memory space for 1000 reference variables. Note that none of the 1000 BankAccount objects
are yet instantiated, so no memory has been set aside yet for any of the actual BankAccount
objects.

34) The following code accomplishes which of the tasks written below? Assume list is an int
array that stores positive int values only.
int foo = 0;
for (int j =0 ; j < list.length; j++)
if (list[j] > foo) foo = list[j];
A) It stores the smallest value in list (the minimum) in foo
B) It stores the largest value in list (the maximum) in foo
C) It stores every value in list, one at a time, in foo, until the loop terminates
D) It counts the number of elements in list that are greater than foo
E) It counts the number of elements in list that are less than foo
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The condition in the if statement tests to see if the current element of list is
greater than foo. If so, it replaces foo. The end result is that every element in list is tested and
foo stores the largest element up to that point, so eventually, foo will be the largest value in the
array list.
35) If x is a char, and values is an int array, then values[x]
A) causes a syntax error
B) causes an Exception to be thrown
C) casts x as an int based on x's position in the alphabet (for instance, if x is 'a' then it uses 0 and
if x is 'z' then it uses 25)
D) casts x as an int based on x's ASCII value (for instance, if x is 'a' then it uses 97 and if x is 'z'
then it uses 122)
E) casts x as an int based on the digit that is stored in x (for instance, if x is '3' it uses 3) but
throws an exception if x does not store a digit
Answer: D
Explanation: D) An array index must be an int value, so normally values[x] would cause a
syntax error if x were not an int, but the Java compiler will automatically cast x to be an int if it
can be cast. Characters are cast as ints by converting the char value to its equivalent ASCII
value. So, if x is 'a', it is cast as the int 97 instead and so values[x] accesses values[97].

36) Given the following declarations, which of the following variables are arrays?
int[ ] a, b;
int c, d[ ];
A) a
12
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
B) a and b
C) a and d
D) a, b and d
E) a, b, c and d
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The first declaration declares both a and b to be int arrays. The second
declaration declares c and d to be ints but in the case of d, an int array. So, a, b and d are all int
arrays.
13
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
37) If a and b are both int arrays, then a = b; will
A) create an alias
B) copy all elements of b into a
C) copy the 0
th
element of b into the 0
th
element of a
D) return true if each corresponding element of b is equal to each corresponding element of a
(that is, a[0] is equal to b[0], a[1] is equal to b[1] and so forth) and return false otherwise
E) return true if a and b are aliases and return false otherwise
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The "=" is an assignment operator. If the two variables are primitives, than the
left-hand variable gets a copy of the right-hand variable (so if a and b are int values and b = 5,
then a would become 5). However, since a and b are arrays, the reference variable a is set to the
reference variable b, resulting in both a and b referencing the same array in memory, or they are
now aliases of each other.

38) The statement int[ ] list = {5, 10, 15, 20};
A) adds 4 int values to array list
B) initializes list to have 20 int values
C) initializes list to have 4 int values
D) declares list but does not initialize it
E) causes a syntax error because it does not include "new int[4]" prior to the list of values
Answer: C
Explanation: C) An array does not have to be instantiated with the new reserved word if it is
instantiated with the list of values it is to store. So, list = {5, 10, 15, 20}; causes list to become
an array of 4 int values with the values of 5, 10, 15, 20 already initialized. Note that the array is
automatically an array of 4 values, so list[n] for any value of n other than 0, 1, 2 or 3 would
result in a thrown Exception.
39) To initialize a String array names to store the three Strings "Huey", "Duey" and "Louie", you
would do
A) String names = {"Huey", "Duey", "Louie"};
B) String[ ] names = {"Huey", "Duey", "Louie"};
C) String[ ] names = new String{"Huey", "Duey", "Louie"};
D) String names[3] = {"Huey", "Duey", "Louie"};
E) String names; names[0] = "Huey"; names[1] = "Duey"; names[2] = "Louie";
Answer: B
Explanation: B) An array does not have to be instantiated with the reserved word new if it is
instantiated with the list of values it is to store. So, names = {"Huey", "Duey", "Louie"}; will
create a String array of 3 elements with the three values already initialized. Of the other
answers, A does not specify that names is a String array, C should not have the reserved word
new, D should not have [3] after names and omits [ ] after String, and E does not instantiate the
array as String[3], and thus , all four of these other answers are syntactically invalid.

40) Which of the following GUI components operates as a group so that only one of the options
can be selected at a time?
A) JCheckBox
B) JButton
C) JRadioButton
D) JButtonGroup
E) all of the above
Answer: C
Explanation: C) The idea of a radio button is that there is a list of options and only one of the
radio buttons of the group can be selected. Selecting another radio button in the group causes the
previously selected one to be "deselected". This is the idea behind the JRadioButton class. The
JCheckBox class on the other hand allows as many of the items to be selected as desired. The
JButton class is a single button that is clicked on or not. There is no such thing as a
JButtonGroup, but JRadioButtons are combined into ButtonGroups.

41) To declare a three-dimensional int array called threeD, which of the following would you
use?
A) int[3] threeD;
B) int[ , , ] threeD;
C) int[ ][ ][ ] threeD;
D) int [ [ [ ] ] ] threeD;
E) int[ ] threeD[3];
Answer: C
Explanation: C) In Java, you can only declare one-dimensional arrays. To create a two-
dimensional array, you must declare it as an array of arrays. A three-dimensional array is an
array of an array of an array. The proper notation is to declare the type of array using multiple [ ]
marks in succession, as in int[ ][ ] for a two-dimensional array or int[ ][ ][ ] for a three-
dimensional array.

42) The Mouse Events include
A) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited
B) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited, mouseMoved,
mouseDragged
C) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseMoved, mouseDragged
D) mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited, mouseMoved, mouseDragged
E) mouseMoved, mouseDragged
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The Mouse Events deal with the activity of the mouse buttons plus the action of
moving a mouse over a component (or moving the mouse out of a component).

43) The Mouse Motion Events include
A) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited
B) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited, mouseMoved,
mouseDragged
C) mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked, mouseMoved, mouseDragged
D) mouseClicked, mouseEntered, mouseExited, mouseMoved, mouseDragged
15
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
E) mouseMoved, mouseDragged
Answer: E
Explanation: E) The Mouse Motion Events only deal with mouse movementmouseMoved and
mouseDragged.

44) The Key Events include
A) keyPressed, keyReleased
B) keyPressed, keyReleased, keyTyped
C) keyPressed, keyReleased, keyTyped, keyDown, keyUp
D) keyDown, keyUp, keyTyped
E) none of the above
Answer: B
Explanation: B) The Key Events deal with the pressing and releasing of single keys on the
keyboard pressed, released, and the rapid combination of the twotyped.

Free-Form Questions

1) Write a method to compute the average of an int array and return the value as a double. The
int array and the number of elements in the array are both passed as parameters to the method in
that order.
Answer: public double computeAverage(int[ ] list, int n)
{
int sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
sum += list[j];
return ((n > 0) ? (double) sum / n : 0);
}

2) Write a method to compute and return the value of max - min where max is the largest
element of an int array and min is the smallest element of an int array. The method is passed the
int array and an int value that denotes the number of elements in the array. You may assume that
the int array has at least 1 element in it.
Answer: public int computeDifference(int[ ] values, int n)
{
int min = values[0];
int max = values[0];
for (int j=1;j<n; j++)
{
if (values[j] < min) min = values[j];
if (values[j] > max) max = values[j];
}
return max - min;
}

3) The class Name consists of 4 instance data, String title, String first, String middle, String last.
16
Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
The class has a constructor that is passed all 4 String values and initializes the class
appropriately, and has 4 methods, each returns one of the four instance data, called returnTitle( ),
returnFirst( ), returnMiddle( ) and returnLast( ). Name[ ] addressBook = new Name[100]; is
performed. Write a method that is passed 4 String parameters corresponding to a Name's title,
first, middle, and last, and finds this Name in addressBook and returns the index of where this
Name was found, or -1 if the Name was not found. Assume that addressBook stores n entries (n
is an int).
Answer: public int findName(String title, String first, String middle, String last)
{
for (int j=0; j<n; j++)
if (title.equals(addressBook[j].getTitle( ) &&
first.equals(addressBook[j].getFirst( ) &&
middle.equals(addressBook[j].getMiddle( ) &&
last.equals(addressBook[j].getLast( ))
return j;
return -1;
}

4) Write a code fragment to create a two-dimensional 10x10 array and initialize every element to
be the value of i * j where i and j are the two indices (for instance, element [5][3] is 5 * 3 = 15).
Answer: int[ ][ ] matrix = new int[10][10];
for (int j=0; j<10; j++)
for (int k=0; k<10; k++)
matrix[j][k] = j*k;

5) Write a method that takes an array of Strings as a parameter and the number of elements
currently stored in the array, and returns a single String that is the concatenation of all Strings in
the array.
Answer: public String arrayConcatenator(String[ ] list, int number)
{
String allElements = "";
for (int j=0; j<number; j++)
allElements += list[j];
return allElements;
}
6) Write a method to output all elements of a two-dimensional array of int values as a table of
rows and columns. Use "\t" to get elements to line up properly. The method is passed the two-
dimensional array and two int values that denote the number of both dimensions (rows followed
by columns).
Answer: public void printTable(int[ ][ ] matrix, int rows, int columns)
{
for (int j=0; j<rows; j++)
{
17

for (int k=0; k<columns; k++)
System.out.print(matrix[j][k] + "\t");
System.out.println( );
}
}

7) Define an interface class that contains two int constants, X = 5 and Y = 10 and one int method
called useXY which receives no parameters. Call your interface class XYClass
Answer: public interface XYClass
{
public final int X = 5;
public final int Y = 10;

public int useXY( );
}
