Instructions:
1. Answer all the parts of a question together in the answer sheet. Answers at separate
places will not be accepted.
2. Please don’t write any information not relevant to the question.
3. Use your time judiciously.

1. One of your friends ask you about the checked and unchecked exceptions. If it's a type
of exception, how do we check it at the compile time? Why would you call them
exceptions, when they are checked at compile-time? Explain the concept of exceptions
to very beginner moving towards the deep technical details of the types and broad
categories. Illustrate the classification of exceptions with diagram(s) of checked and
unchecked exceptions and their sub-classes.
[11 Marks]
(~ 6 to 9 Minutes)

2. Why do we need to have keywords like RuntimeException or

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when we can get the same results by using
keyword Exception in the catch block instead of the above two?
[4 Marks]
(~3 to 5 Minutes)

3. I have used a very dynamic list of over a hundred million elements with lots of additions
and deletions over the course of my application. I need to access the elements in a quick
time. I need to access them with the index number. I do a lot of searching in the array. In
fact, over 99% of my operations are that of searching the element to check if the element
is present or not in the array. Analyse the following collections on the basis of the above
requirements.
a. ArrayList
b. LinkedList
c. HashSet
d. Stack [15 Marks]
(~ 7 to 10 Minutes)

4. Multitasking has been a dream of every person and is present in every resume for the
last 20 years. We know of multithreading in Java. What's the difference between
multitasking and multithreading? In Java multithreading gives non-deterministic results.
Why? What are two ways/concepts/techniques using which I can move towards
determinism in Java using multithreading? Discuss them in brief.
[5+5+5 = 15 Marks]
(~7 to 10 Minutes)

5. You have done a lot with streams in your career as a programmer. A junior asks you,
why would anyone use PrintWriter class to print on screen when he/she can do the
same with FileOutputStream class? Why should I use any of the above if you can use
classes like Scanner and System.out? Explain to your junior the technical details of all
four with the differences and utilities while explaining the purpose of each one of them.

Answer:this();
 1. If some code within a method throws a checked excep on, then the method must either handle
the excep on or it must specify the excep on using the throws keyword. [2 marks]
They are called excep ons, because a user can make them unknowingly, and it should be
checked at compile me, so that the compiler won't move forward, unless the excep on is
handled]. [3 marks]
An Excep on is an error that on occurrence can terminate the program abnormally. [1 or 2
marks]
Refer book for categoriza on of excep ons [4 marks]
2. To specify the type of excep on, we think may occur {saves me of compiler}. Excep on
handlers that are too general can make code more error prone by catching and handling
excep ons that weren’t an cipated by the programmer and for which the handler was not
intended. [4 marks]
