A runtime error will occur. |
The account object's toString method will be implicitly called. |
To compare two objects in a class: Since objects consist of several fields, you cannot compare them write a method to do a byte-by-byte compare of the two objects write an equals method that will make a field by field compare of the two objects use the == operator, e.g. object1 == object2 |

Which of the following is NOT true about static methods? They are created by placing the key word static after the access specifier in the method header. They are called directly from the class. They are often used to create utility classes that perform operations on data, but have no need to collect and store data. It is necessary for an instance of the class to be created to execute the method. |

If you have defined a class named SavingsAccount with a public static data member named numberOfAccounts, and created a SavingsAccount object referenced by the variable account20, which of the following will assign numberOfAccounts to numAccounts? numAccounts = account20.numAccounts; numAccounts = numberOfAccounts; numAccounts = SavingsAccount.numberOfAccounts; None of these, you cannot reference a static data member. |
numAccounts = SavingsAccount.numberOfAccounts; |
The JVM periodically performs this process to remove unreferenced objects from memory. memory sweeping system restore memory shuffling garbage collection |
garbage collection |
A static field is created by placing: the key word static after the field name the key word static after the access specifier and before the field's data type the key word static after the access specifier and field's data type it in a static field block |
the key word static after the access specifier and before the field's data type |
When a method's return type is a class, what is actually returned to the calling program? An object of that class A reference to an object of that class Only the values in the object that the method accessed Nothing, the return type is strictly for documentation in this situation. |
A reference to an object of that class |
If object1 and object2 are objects of the same class, to make object2 a copy of object1: use the Java copy method that is a part of the Java language assign object1 to object2, such as object2 = object1; use the default constructor to create object2 with object1 data members write a copy method that will make a field by field copy of object1 data members into object2 data members |
write a copy method that will make a field by field copy of object1 data members into object2 data members |
Look at the following declaration: enum Tree { OAK, MAPLE, PINE } What is the ordinal value of the MAPLE enum constant? 0 1 2 3 Tree.MAPLE |

You cannot use the fully-qualified name of an enum constant for this. a switch expression an argument to a method a case expression all of these |
a case expression |
Assuming the following declaration exists: enum Tree { OAK, MAPLE, PINE } What will the following code display? System.out.println(Tree.OAK); Tree.OAK 0 1 OAK Nothing. This statement will cause an error. |
OAK |
