7. What will be the output of the following Java code?

1.     class increment {

2.         public static void main(String args[]) 

3.         {        

4.              int g = 3;

5.              System.out.print(++g * 8);

6.         } 

7.     }

a) 32
b) 33
c) 24
d) 25

Answer: a
Explanation: Operator ++ has more preference than *, thus g becomes 4 and when multiplied by 8 gives 32.

4.             double a, b,c;

5.             a = 3.0/0;

6.             b = 0/4.0;

7.             c=0/0.0;

9. 	    System.out.println(a);

10.             System.out.println(b);

11.             System.out.println(c);

12.         } 

13.     }

a) NaN
b) Infinity
c) 0.0
d) all of the mentioned

Answer: d
Explanation: For floating-point literals, we have a constant value to represent (10/0.0) infinity either positive or negative, and also have NaN (not a number for undefined like 0/0.0), but for the integral type, we don’t have any constant that’s why we get an arithmetic exception.

10. Which of the following is not an OOPS concept in Java?
a) Polymorphism
b) Inheritance
c) Compilation
d) Encapsulation

Answer: c
