public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 5;
System.out.println(++a * 2);
Answer: 12
22. Complete the program to read a number using BufferedReader:
Java Intermediate Assessment (30 Questions)
import java.io.*;
public class ReadInput {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
// Complete here
Answer:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int num = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
System.out.println("You entered: " + num);
23. What will be the output?
class Demo {
static int count = 0;
Demo() {
count++;
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Demo();
new Demo();
System.out.println(count);
Answer: 2
24. Identify the error:
Java Intermediate Assessment (30 Questions)
class A {
private void show() {
System.out.println("A");
class B extends A {
void show() {
System.out.println("B");
Answer: Method hiding occurs. B's `show()` does not override A's method since A's method is private.
25. Complete code to reverse array:
int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
Answer:
for (int i = 0, j = arr.length - 1; i < j; i++, j--) {
int temp = arr[i];
arr[i] = arr[j];
arr[j] = temp;
26. Predict the output:
String s1 = "Hello";
String s2 = new String("Hello");
System.out.println(s1 == s2);
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));
Answer:
false
Java Intermediate Assessment (30 Questions)
true
27. Fix the syntax error:
public class Sample {
public void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello");
Answer: main method must be static: `public static void main(String[] args)`
28. Predict the output:
int x = 2;
switch (x) {
case 1:
case 2:
System.out.print("Two ");
case 3:
System.out.print("Three ");
break;
default:
System.out.print("Default ");
Answer: Two Three
