Part D
Short and Long Questions

(40 marks)
Answer TWO out of FOUR questions in the answer booklet provided. Every
question carries twenty marks.
1. (a) What does the super keyword allow in Java?
[ 2 marks ]
Answer: The super keyword allows the child object to access methods of the parent class.
This even includes access to the parent constructor.
(b) When is the garbage collector called in Java?
[ 3 marks ]
Answer: The garbage collector in Java is a daemon thread that counts the references on
allocated object, allocating their memory space back to the heap when the object goes out
of scope. It is run automatically by the VM when the memory is low, or the CPU is idle.
The user can also request that the garbage collector should run.
(c) What does the term over-riding mean?
[ 2 marks ]
Answer: Over-riding means re-writing the same method in a child class, with the exact
same set of parameters. Over-riding is a form of polymorphism that allows behaviour to
be replaced in a child class.
(d) What is meant by the term encapsulation?
[ 2 marks ]
Answer: Encapsulation may simply be defined as data hiding. It allows us to distinguish

internal methods from the interface. We can use the public, private and protected
modifiers to set the level of encapsulation.
(e) Polymorphism is a feature of most OOP languages. Describe polymorphism

with reference to over-loading and over-riding. Address the following issues:
i. Over-loading versus over-riding.
ii. Over-loading issues that arise when a child over-rides one method of
many that are inherited from a parent class.
iii. How do access modifiers affect over-riding?
[11 marks]
13 TCC 101
Answer: Overloading – Re-using the same method name with different arguments and
possibly a different return type is known as overloading. In unrelated class there is no
issues when re-using names but in the same class, we can overload methods, provided
that those methods have different argument types. A method may not be distinguished by
return type alone.
Overriding – Re-using the same name with the exact same arguments is known as
overriding. This is most commonly used in a derived class, where the method has been
defined in the parent, but a version with different functionality is required. This allows
the facility to add specialised behaviour to a derived class.
e.g.
public void aMethod(String s) {}
public void aMethod(int s) {}
is an example of an overloaded method.
We can call an overridden method using the super keyword. For example to call the
aMethod from a derived class we can use super.aMethod().
Difficulties occur when we override a method in a derived class, as the other overloaded
methods in the base class are no longer available to the derived class.
Access modifiers affect the use of overriding. If for example a method is declared as
private then the overriding method may not reduce the level of access to the method.
2. (a) Consider the code:
int x[] = new int[25];
Explain why each of the following statements are either true of false:
i. x[24] is 0
ii. x[24] is undefined
iii. x[25] is 0
iv. x[0] is null
v. x.length is 25
[10 marks ]
Answer: (a)
i. is true as all elements are initialised to 0. [2 marks]
ii. is therefore false. [1 marks]
iii. is false as there are 25 elements 0 to 24, so 25 is out of bounds. [3 marks]
iv. is false as x[0] = 0. [2 marks]
v. is true as there are 25 elements so 25 would be returned. [2 marks]
14 TCC 101
(b) Consider the following program code
int[] alpha = new int[5];

int j;
i. What is the value of alpha[4] after the following code executes?
alpha[0] = 2;
for (j = 1; j < 5; j++)
alpha[j] = alpha[j – 1] + 3;
[2 marks ]
Answer: 14
ii. What is stored in alpha after the following code executes?
for (j = 0; j < 5; j++) {

alpha[j] = 2 * j;
if (j % 2 == 1)
alpha[j - 1] = alpha[j] + j;
}
[5 marks ]
Answer: alpha = {3, 2, 9, 6, 8}
Iii. What is the value of alpha[3] after the following code executes?
alpha[0] = 5;
for (j = 1; j < 5; j++){
if (j % 2 == 0)
else
}
[3 marks ]
Answer: 13
15 TCC 101
3. (a) Explain the function of a LayoutManager in Java? Give THREE examples

of standard layout manager class.
[6 marks ]
Answer: A LayoutManager implements some policy for laying out all the visual
components that have been added to a container. That is, it sets the sizes and positions of
the components. Different types of layout managers have different rules about how
components are to be arranged
Some standard layout manager classes are FlowLayout, BorderLayout and GridLayout
[3 marks for the function given and 3 marks for three examples given]
(b) What layout manager should we use for the following needs?
 need to display a component in as much space as it can get
 need to put the space-hungry component in the center
 need to display a few components of the same size in rows and columns.
[6 marks ]
Answer: In the case where you need to display a component in as much space as it can
get, if it is the only component in its container, use GridLayout or BorderLayout.
Otherwise, BorderLayout might be a good match.
If you use BorderLayout, you will need to put the space-hungry component in the
center. In another case, you may need to display a few components in a compact row at
their natural size. Then, consider using FlowLayout manager.
Finally GridLayout is perfect when you need to display a few components of the same
size in rows and columns.
[2 marks for the each needs, maximum 6 marks for three needs]
(c) Compare and contrast applets to applications. When would one choose to
use applets over applications? What are the limitations of applets? Describe the
lifecycle of applets and applications. Can an application be an applet?
[8 marks ]
Answer: An applet is a specific type of Java application that is designed to be portable

and downloadable over the Internet. For this reason an applet may only contain a subset
of the total functionality of an application. For example, an applet cannot have access to
local files on a machine; otherwise it is theoretically possible for a hostile applet to
upload (to some destination) the contents of a local machine. This type of hostile applet
also includes applets that may try to use all CPU available, or contact remote sites,
without your permission. These too are not allowed. Applications on the other hand are
assumed to be trusted, as they reside on the local hard disk. These applications have full
access to the local hard-drive and to all network addresses.
16 TCC 101
An applet would be chosen when an application must be distributed to a number of

clients who trust, or don’t trust the content. They allow a local version to reside on the
server, so only one copy exists, allowing complete version control.
An application on the other hand does not contain the inherent restrictions and so must be
completely trusted by the client. An independent version is distributed to each client so
there is not the same degree of version control as that associated with applets. There is no
overhead in downloading the application before running it. You also do not have to be
connected to the Internet to run an application.
The order of execution of an applet is main() and then whatever functionality that is
involved in main()
In an applet the order is init() -> start() -> paint() and stop() on the destruction. These
calls may happen asynchronously.
An application may be an applet and an application. This is created by extending the

Applet class (java.awt.Applet) and then adding a main() method to the Applet class by
calling the init()->start()->paint() methods in the order that the appletviewer would.
4. (a) What are Exceptions in Java? Why and when are they used? Give an
application example of how you might use your own exceptions?
[10 marks]
Answer: Exceptions are generated during program execution if something
occurs that is not quite normal from the task in question. For example the
network may fail, a file may be corrupt or there may be a bug in the application
the causes it to address invalid memory. In Java we may recover from this type
of run time error, allowing the user to choose a different file, or check the network
before continuing. The syntax we can use is in the form of try{} and catch{}
try{
// Some statement that may generate an exception
}
catch (Exception e){
// perform some operation to recover
}
We may write our own type of exception for our application. For example if we
wrote a method that required a non-negative number and a negative number was
passed, we could generate an InvalidNumberArgument exception that was to be
handled by the caller, allowing the user to re-enter the number or for that number
to be skipped.
[3 marks for definition; 3 marks for why and when they used; 4 marks for an valid
application]
17 TCC 101
(b) What is the ‘finally’ block?
[4 marks]
Answer: Finally block will execute whether or not an exception is thrown. If an

exception is thrown, the finally block will execute even if no catch statement
match the exception. Any time a method is about to return to the caller from
inside try/catch block, via an uncaught exception or an explicit return statement,
the finally clause is also execute.
(c) What will happen to the Exception object after exception handling?
[2 marks]
Answer: It will go for Garbage Collector. And frees the memory.
(d) In the following program, if somecondition() is true, then only line number 3
must throw a custom exception MyException. MyException is not a subclass of
runtime exceptions. What are the changes to be made to the given method.
Public void method() { //line 1
If (somecondition()) { //line 2
} //line 3
} //line 4
[4 marks]
Answer:
- Add throw new MyException(); in line number 3

- Modify the method declaration such that an object of type Exception is to
be thrown
