1. Question
Which of the below is valid way to instantiate an array in java?
Correctint [] myArray = {"1", "2", "3"};is invalid because String can’t be converted to int.int [] myArray = (5, 4, 3);is invalid because array elements are defined in curly braces ({}).int myArray [] [] = {1,2,3,4};is invalid because myArray is a two dimensional array whereas it’s being defined as one dimensional array. Compiler will complain asType mismatch: cannot convert from int to int[].Incorrectint [] myArray = {"1", "2", "3"};is invalid because String can’t be converted to int.int [] myArray = (5, 4, 3);is invalid because array elements are defined in curly braces ({}).int myArray [] [] = {1,2,3,4};is invalid because myArray is a two dimensional array whereas it’s being defined as one dimensional array.

3. Question
What will happen if we try to compile and run below program?
Copyinterface Foo{ int x = 10; } public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Foo.x = 20; System.out.println(Foo.x); } }CorrectBy default any field of interface is public, static and final. So we can’t change is, hence compile time error at line 8 statement
Foo.x = 20;.IncorrectBy default any field of interface is public, static and final. So we can’t change is, hence compile time error at line 8 statement
Foo.x = 20;. - Question 4 of 21
4. Question
What will be the output of below program?
Copypublic class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { char c = 65; System.out.println("c = "+c); } }CorrectJava compiler tries to automatically convert int to char. Since 65 gets converted to A, hence output will be “c = A”. Note that char are limited to values from \u0000 to \uffff. So
char c = 65535;is valid butchar c = 65536;will give compile time error.IncorrectJava compiler tries to automatically convert int to char. Since 65 gets converted to A, hence output will be “c = A”. Note that char are limited to values from \u0000 to \uffff. So

Recently I started creating video tutorials too, so do check out my videos on Youtube.
Naseem Ahamed says
Thanks for the quiz. 15th question blew my mind!
Nate says
I’m not sure what java version this was written against, but you most certainly can use Enums in switch statements. You couldn’t use strings in switch statements before Java 7, but even before that you could use Enums. Even the link in the description for why “Enums can’t be used in switch statements.” says that they can be used in switch statements.
Pankaj says
Yes, you are right and so does the question. You have to select statements that are true for Enum.
Tom says

Khyn Harold Jay Antoque says
Do you have a source code when making this quiz, did you use php for this?
nisha says
Hello Pankaj,
Your site has some problem. I have attempted only 5 questions, and finished my quiz.but it showing all the questions are attempted. with incorrect answer.
Pankaj says
Yes, when you finished the quiz. Any question you didn’t attempted will be considered as incorrectly answered. Just like any exams, if you won’t provide answer to a question, you won’t get any marks for it.
Enrico says
Are you sure about question 8? I just copied and paste your code on IntelliJ and I got compilation error.
Hubert says
Question 6>> WRONG>> My output is Super! I get an error, too, but the question was >> What will be the output of below program?
Pankaj says
Did you run the code in Eclipse, use command line and you will see that output is correct? Check this thread to understand why you got the output.

Ram Sharan says
Looks like Pankaj sir has made some changes to this set of questions. Earlier I was completely correct, but now the marked answers are showing as the wrong answer but explanation is correct. I also did google and tried output code in eclipse. I am double sure about this mistake.
Pankaj sir plz cross check this issue. The explanation shows correct answers and I have marked same answer but it’s highlighted by red color.
Eswar says
One of the questions were to select java core concepts from the options. One of the options were ‘Generics’ which was actually a link to Generics page. When I accidentally clicked on it, it took me to another page. Due to this, I could not complete the quiz. Please remove that link so that it won’t happen again for others.
Pankaj says
Thanks for letting us know, i have fixed it.

This is a good warm up quiz. I realised I still have so many things to do
Raviraj BK says
It was very good quiz!! 🙂 Awesome work
koreanOppa says
This was an interesting quiz for me. I just found out I need more practice in Java.
Yannick loic says
Very instructive
java reader says
Good questions
Jawad Ali says
Thanks a lot for the effort put to make this quiz. Really helped refresh all the basics.
Now that I have got a taste for a quality quiz, I would love to see similar quiz for more advanced topics like Collections and Threads.
Once again, Great work! Thanks.
Sujoy says
Good questions. The best part was the explanation of the quiz answers at the end for review.
Anita says
Nice to learn via Quiz!
Rhushikesh says
Where to start quiz. I am not able to see any link

I was editing the Quiz questions, so it was unavailable for some time. It’s back up again now, please give it a try. Thanks.

Good questions! Thanks for your quiz.

Thanks for this great test! It showed me a lot of gaps in my knowledge! It would be great to have some more ! 🙂

Hi
I need SQL program like many to one, one to one, one to many on different different kind. who has been asked in interview …
Alex says
Description of answer to question 11 about multiple exceptions handling depends on language level, although it’s сompile time error in any case.
java multi-catch statement is not supported in -source 1.6
Pankaj says
Hi Alex,
Any programming test always assume the latest version. For example, if you have a lambda program, you shouldn’t say that output depends on whether you are on java 8 or lower.
Aly says
Good job! Thanks.
Only one remark:
question ” Can we have two main methods in a java class?” The answer no is incorrect.
Because yes, we can have 2 methods, for example:
public class A {
public static void main( Stting [] args) {}
public void main( int[] args) {}
}
Why not?)
Pankaj says
I think you didn’t checked the question properly, you are iterating the same thing in the question explanation.
rahul malgujar says
good job…a very good medium for begineers .
Miguel Torres says
Excellent JAVA Core quiz. I realized that I need to practice more the basic topics, We apreciate all your efforts. Thanks

Yevgeny says
The quiz is very good but IMO it contains mistakes. “null” cannot be used as a name of variable.Therefore, it is a reserved word in Java. This is output from javac.
test.java: error: expected
String null;
^
Pankaj says
null is not a reserved keyword, please check below link.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_keywords.html
pa1 says
true, false, and null might seem like keywords, but they are actually literals; you cannot use them as identifiers in your programs.
Williams Ramos Horizonte says
excelent
Unamuno says
Even if you use a multiple choice approach, the answer may not be true or false.
Example given: You asked for java keywords, and rated my answer incorrect. But null is no keyword, nbut the null literal. I noticed several of such things but did’nt took the time to write everything down.
I’ll visit again and try to give more comments.
Thanks for your efforts, it helps in preparing very simple tasks.
But they’re far away from what I excpect fromwhat I expect students at my university to master once they have terminated their bachelor courses.
Pankaj says
The question and answers for java keywords are correct, let me drop you an email for this.
