Which statement best describes constructor chaining?
(one option only)

a)The first constructor invoked invokes an overloaded constructor
  of the class using 'this()' syntax, and so on, until all of the
  constructors of the class have run.

b)A suite of related classes in a given package are instantiated
  via a series of chained constructor calls.  The first constructor
  to run invokes the keyword 'chain' which causes implicit calls
  to the next constructor in the package which also includes the
  'chain' keyword.  This process continues until all of the 'chain'ed
  constructors have been called, then execution continues back down
  the stack until the initial class constructor completes.

c)'Constructor chaining' is not a Java concept.

d)When a constructor runs, it completes any calls to overloaded
  constructors and then, either explicitly or implicitly, a
  constructor of its super class is called.  This process continues
  in a chain until all superclass constructors have been called,
  then execution continues back down the stack until the initial
  class constructor completes.

What is true about Java garbage collection?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)It applies to all objects on the stack.

b)It will void all objects which do not have references to 
them and will not void objects in an 'islands of isolation' 
relationship.

c)It runs only once in the life of an object, unless the object's
  finalize() method re-establishes a reachable reference in
  the program code.

d)Objects declared in methods nevertheless are on the heap and
  must be explicitly un-referenced to become eligable for gc.

  priorities, and cannot thus be reliably invoked at a specific
  time.

Why isn't main() required to handle or declare the potential
Throwables at the labeled lines in the code above?
(Choose one answer)

a)AssertionError and ArithmeticException are not the type of
  subclasses of Throwable that require handling or declaring.

b)ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is a runtime exception and
  runtime exceptions do not need to be handled or declared.

c)main() actually must handle or declare the Throwables at
  lines a and b.

d)main() actually must handle or declare the Throwable at
  line c.

e)NumberFormatException is a runtime exception and runtime

  o-flange has a part number of 0.

What changes would allow partNum to be accurately represented in the
print statement? (and in the w2 object)
(Choose one option)

a)StoreIt must implement writeObject() to write the transient variable
  'partNum' to memory, and it must implement readObject() to read it
  back from memory.  'writeObject()' and 'readObject()' must contain
  calls to 'defaultWriteObject()' and 'defaultReadObject()' respectively.

b)StoreIt must implement writeObject() and readObject() and it must
  also manually write the original value of partNum to the reconstituted
  object.  It must obtain this value by some means devised by the
  programmer.

c)Wodget must implement 'SerialExtended' (which extends Serializable)
  to gain the capacity to serialize and retrieve transient variables.

d)Wodget must implement writeObject() to write the transient variable
  'partNum' to memory, and it must implement readObject() to read it

c)readObject() must read the specially-written fields back in the same
  order in which they were written.

d)writeObject() must call writeDefaultObject() *before* it writes
  any additional data to the file.

e)readObject() must call readDefaultObject() to serialize non-transient fields

What is the result?
(Choose one answer)

a)Compile error--unknown symbol equals(). equals() hasn't been
  defined or overridden in Grynphul and so cannot be called.

b)The program compiles but since equals() hasn't been overridden,
  the empty implementation runs and nothing prints.

What is true about this code?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)The class will compile and run without error.

b)The implementation of the equals() method violates the equals contract.

c)The class will not compile because it fails to override hashCode().

d)Using generics, the equals method could have been written so that the
  argument was of type Grynphul, not the "generic" object class.

e)The equals() method now tests whether objects calling it really are just
  other references to the same object.

::

The equals contract provides: 

  that equals() will return false if it is passed null, unless the reference 
   calling equals is null; 
  that at any time equals() will return the same result for two operands;
  that equals() will be "reflexive--for any ref x, x.equals(x) will return true;
  that equals() will be "transitive"--for any references x,y and z, if x.equals(y) 
    returns true and x.equals(z) returns true, x.equals(z) will return true.

What is true about the hashcode contract?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)It specifies that hashcodes must be reflexive--any instance of a 
  given class must have the same hashcode as any other instance.

b)It specifies that all objects must implement the hashcode 
  interface and its primary method, hashcode().

c)It stipulates that if two objects are equal according to the 
  equals method, they may or may not have the same hashcode value.

d)It stipulates that hashcodes must be consistent between calls in
  the same running of an application--the hashcode returned from a
  given object must be the same.

e)It specifies that hashcodes must be calculated using the memory
  address of the object.

What is true about HashMap and HashSet?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)Objects are stored according to hashCode; if more than one object in
  the collection have the same hashcodes, their equals() method will
  determine whether they are unique.

b)Objects are stored sequentially in memory, ensuring that they are unique.

c)Attempting to add instances of classes that do not override hashCode and
  equals() to HashSet or HashMap will result in compiler error.

d)If an object's hashCode returns the same value as another element of
  a given collection, the add() method will return false and the object
  will not be added to the collection.

e)The default hashCode method virtually always comes up with a unique number
  for each object.

::
a,e

What is true about Maps?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)The Maps are comprised of HashMap, TreeMap, and LinkedHashMap.

b)The way to tell whether a given object is a key in a map is to 
  call get([object]) on the map--either a value will be returned, or 
  false will be returned.

c)In contrast to the situation with LinkedList and ArrayList, 
  LinkedHashMap iterates FASTER than HashMap, but it is SLOWER 
  for adding/removing operations.

d)All Maps require unique keys, one of which may be null.  

e)None of the Map implementation classes offer synchronized methods.

f)Hashtable doesn't use camel-case, in distinction to virtually all
  other API class names.

What is not true about assertions?
(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)Assertions contain two basic components: the boolean expression and
  the optional message that prints with the stack trace.

b)The message portion of an assertion statement is optional.

c)If the message portion of an assertion is included, it is separated
  from the boolean portion by a colon.

d)If the message portion of an assertion is included, it can resolve to null,
  but it cannot be void (ie a void method call).

e)Assertions are disabled by default and must be enabled using the 
  shorthand '-ea' upon invocation of the program.

f)You should never use assertions to validate a public method, except to
  check cases that should NEVER happen.

g)Never *change* anything in the boolean expression.

h)Assertions are useful.

'com.invest.main' is the main class for an investment program that also utilizes

(x,y,z--no spaces)

a)The first place they look is in the current directory.

b)The first place they look is in the directories defined by 
  the J2SE distribution.

c)They both search their list of directories until they find the class
  they are looking for.  If there is a class of the same name in another
  search path, it will be ignored in favor of the first one found.

d)The second place that supporting files are looked for is in the specified
