James Gosling developed JAVA at Sun Microsystems in May 1995. The main purpose of the JAVA programming language is to provide programmers with one-time write and run, anywhere functionality. The compiled Java code can be run on any platform that supports Java without recompiling.
The importance of JAVA are:
- Develop applications and platforms for a variety of devices such as computers, laptops, game consoles, Blu-ray players, car navigation systems, medical monitors, parking meters, lottery terminals, smartphones, etc.
- It is also an important language for networks, especially data centers that store and send web-based data.
- Java is also used to create dynamic miniature programs that run with or embed web pages.

18) Which of the following is true about the anonymous inner class?
- It has only methods
- Objects can't be created
- It has a fixed class name
- It has no class name
Answer: (d) It has no class name
Explanation: Anonymous inner classes are the same as the local classes except that they don't have any name. The main use of it is to override methods of classes or interfaces. And the rest three options are false about the anonymous inner classes as it can have both methods and objects. It does not have any fixed came name.
Hence, the correct answer is option(d).
21) An interface with no fields or methods is known as a ______.
- Runnable Interface
- Marker Interface
- Abstract Interface
- CharSequence Interface
Answer: (b) Marker Interface
Explanation: An interface with no methods and fields is known as the marker interface. In other words, an empty interface (containing no fields and methods) is called a marker interface. In Java, the most commonly used marker interfaces are Serializable, Cloneable, Remote, and ThreadSafe interfaces. Marker interfaces are also known as the Tag interface. It is used to tell the JVM or compiler that the particular class has special behavior.
Following is the code snippet of a maker interface:
public interface Cloneable { // empty }
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
30) Which keyword is used for accessing the features of a package?
- package
- import
- extends
- export
Answer: (b) import
Explanation: The import keyword is used to access the classes and interfaces of a particular package to the current file. In other words, it is used to import the user-defined and built-in classes and interfaces into the source file of java so that the current file can easily access the other packages by directly using its name. For example,
import java.awt.*; import java.lang.Object;
The first import statement imports all the classes and interfaces of java.awt package. Whereas, the second import statement only imports the Object class of the java.lang package.
The package keyword is used to create a new package. The extends keyword indicates that the new class is derived from the base or parent class using inheritance, and export is not a keyword in Java.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
41) What is meant by the classes and objects that dependents on each other?
- Tight Coupling
- Cohesion
- Loose Coupling
- None of the above
Answer: (a) Tight Coupling
Explanation: In tight coupling, a group of classes and objects are highly dependent on each other. Tight coupling is also used in some cases, like when an object creates some other objects that are going to be used by them.
Tight coupling is the correct answer as it is used when the logic of one class is called by the logic of another class.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
1) Which of the following option leads to the portability and security of Java?
- Bytecode is executed by JVM
- The applet makes the Java code secure and portable
- Use of exception handling
- Dynamic binding between objects
Answer: (a) Bytecode is executed by the JVM.
Explanation: The output of the Java compiler is bytecode, which leads to the security and portability of the Java code. It is a highly developed set of instructions that are designed to be executed by the Java runtime system known as Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The Java programs executed by the JVM that makes the code portable and secure. Because JVM prevents the code from generating its side effects. The Java code is portable, as the same byte code can run on any platform.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
Command to execute a compiled java program is :
A javac
B java
C run
D execute
..
