Answer: javac

Answer: &&

13. The keyword used to create an object in Java is ________.

Answer: new

14. A constructor having the same name as the class and no return type is called a
________.
Answer: default constructor

15. Variables declared inside a method are known as ________ variables.

Answer: local

16. The ________ class is used to break a string into tokens.

Answer: StringTokenizer

17. Wrapper classes convert primitive data types into ________ types.
Answer: object

18. The ________ keyword is used to read input from the keyboard using Scanner.
Answer: [Link]

19. Arrays in Java are ________ indexed.

Answer: zero

20. The package that contains Scanner class is ________.

Answer: [Link]

1. write about history of java.

2. Differentiate between local variables and instance variables in Java.

Local variables are declared inside methods or blocks and are accessible only within that
scope. Instance variables are declared inside a class but outside methods and belong to an
object. Local variables must be initialized before use, whereas instance variables get default
values. Instance variables represent object state, while local variables support temporary
computations.

3. Explain constructor overloading with an example scenario.

Constructor overloading allows a class to have multiple constructors with different

parameter lists. It enables flexible object initialization. For example, a Student class can have
one constructor accepting name and another accepting name and roll number. This
improves usability and readability. Constructors are selected at compile time based on
arguments passed.

4. Describe the importance of access modifiers in Java.

Access modifiers control the visibility of classes, variables, and methods. They help achieve
encapsulation and data hiding. Private restricts access within a class, protected allows
subclass access, default permits package-level access, and public allows global access.
Proper use enhances security and maintainability.

5. Explain how String differs from StringBuffer.

String objects are immutable, meaning their values cannot be changed after creation.
StringBuffer objects are mutable and allow modification without creating new objects.
StringBuffer is thread-safe, whereas String is not. For frequent string manipulation,
StringBuffer offers better performance.

Answer: [Link]

19. String objects are ________ in nature.

Answer: immutable

20. The method used to get input from Scanner is ________.

Answer: next()

1. Explain the significance of Java being an object-oriented language.

Java follows object-oriented principles like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and

abstraction. These principles help in organizing code efficiently. Objects represent real-world
entities, making programs easier to understand. OOP improves code reusability and
maintainability. Java enforces OOP concepts strictly.

2. Describe how Java differs from C and C++.

Java is platform-independent, whereas C and C++ are platform-dependent. Java does not
support pointers directly, improving security. Memory management in Java is automatic
through garbage collection. Java supports multithreading inherently. C++ allows multiple
inheritance, while Java avoids ambiguity using interfaces.

3. Explain method overloading with a suitable example.

Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameter
lists. It improves code readability and reusability. The compiler decides which method to
invoke based on arguments. Overloading can differ in number or type of parameters. Return
type alone cannot distinguish overloaded methods.

4. Discuss the role of Scanner class in Java.

Scanner class is used to read input from the keyboard. It belongs to [Link] package. It
supports reading different data types like int, float, and String. Scanner improves user
interaction in console applications. It simplifies parsing input data.

5. Explain arrays as objects in Java.

Arrays in Java are treated as objects stored in heap memory. They have a fixed size and store
elements of the same data type. Arrays support indexing and length property. They simplify
data storage and access. Java provides bounds checking to prevent runtime errors.
