Which of the following is a method declared by the Object class?
Give the list of Java Object class methods.

Answer: above of all
[backup knowledge]
clone() - Creates and returns a copy of this object.
equals() - Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
finalize() - Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection
determines that there are no more references to the object.
getClass() - Returns the runtime class of an object.
hashCode() - Returns a hash code value for the object.
notify() - Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
notifyAll() - Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
toString() - Returns a string representation of the object.
wait() - Causes current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object.

Based on the code snippet below, which of the following statements about the last line of the code, indicated by the "(X)", is TRUE?

21-Core Library Knowledge
Based on the code snippet below, which of the following statements is FALSE?

InputStreamReader ir = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( new File( "file.txt" ) ) );

A This buffers the characters being read in and may be more efficient than reading straight from the FileReader.
B This is useful when reading characters rather than bytes.
C This exhibits the use of the Decorator design pattern.
D This can be used to read either a stream of bytes or characters-
Answer: D
Ref: BufferReader

22-Auto example
The code snippet below is an example of which of the following?
Long myLong = 21l;
A Autoboxing
B Autounboxing
C Autocasting
D Autoinstancing
Ref: Autoboxing

Autoboxing

23- Dynamically Combine Strings
To dynamically combine multiple strings into a single one in Java, you should...
A ...use the subclass String to add a constructor which takes in the contributing strings.
B ...use the String.join method.
C ...use StringBuilder.
D ...add them using the "+" operator, then call toString on the combined String and wrap it into a new String instance (like new String( combinedString ) to ensure that it gets interned.

It is better to use StringBuilder

 StringBuilder sb= new StringBuilder();

for(String tempString:setInput){
   sb.append(",").append(tempString).append(",");
 }

24- Switch Statement
Given the switch statement below, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A The expression must be of a primitive type, such as int, byte, or short.

30- Read-Only List
You are given a requirement to create a read-only list-Which of the following approaches should you use?
A Create members as final and add them to the list.
B Build your list and wrap it with a call to Collections.unmodifiableList().
C
D Declare the list final.

In Java you can use Collections.unModifiableList() method to create read only List , Collections.unmodifiableSet() for creating read-only Set like read only HashSet and similarly creating a read only Map in Java, as shown in below example-Any modification in read only List will result in java.lang.UnSupportedOperationException in Java.

31- Finding Errors
Which of the following indicates what is WRONG with the statement below?
A N/A
B The left hand side allows objects to be stored in the collection, while the right hand side restricts collection members to being strings.

32- Declared Throwables
Which of the following Throwables needs to be declared?
A Error
B RuntimeException
C CheckedException
D Exception
Answer: C

There are two special cases: Error and RuntimeException: these two classes (and their subclasses) are considered unchecked exceptions, and are either frequent enough or catastrophic enough that you do not need to declare them in throws clauses-Everything else is a checked exception, and is ususally a subclass of Exception; these exceptions have to be handled or declared.
