In the verifyNotNull method, the following operations are performed:

Assertion to Enable Assertions:

java

boolean enabled = false;

assert enabled = true;

assert enabled;

The variable enabled is initially set to false.

The first assertion assert enabled = true; assigns true to enabled if assertions are enabled. If assertions are disabled, this assignment does not occur.

The second assertion assert enabled; checks if enabled is true. If assertions are enabled and the previous assignment occurred, this assertion passes. If assertions are disabled, this assertion is ignored.

Dereferencing the input Object:

java

System.out.println(input.toString());

This line attempts to call the toString() method on the input object. If input is null, this will throw a NullPointerException.

Assertion to Check input for null:

java

assert input != null;

This assertion checks that input is not null. If input is null and assertions are enabled, this assertion will fail, throwing an AssertionError. If assertions are disabled, this assertion is ignored.

Analysis:

If Assertions Are Enabled:

The enabled variable is set to true by the first assertion, and the second assertion passes.

If input is null, calling input.toString() will throw a NullPointerException before the final assertion is reached.

If input is not null, input.toString() executes without issue, and the final assertion assert input != null; passes.

If Assertions Are Disabled:

The enabled variable remains false, but the assertions are ignored, so this has no effect.

If input is null, calling input.toString() will throw a NullPointerException.

If input is not null, input.toString() executes without issue.

Conclusion:

A NullPointerException is thrown if input is null, regardless of whether assertions are enabled or disabled. Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. Only if assertions are disabled and the input argument is null

In this code, a list of integers integers is created containing the elements 0, 1, and 2. A stream is then created from this list, and the following operations are performed in sequence:

peek(System.out::print):

The peek method is an intermediate operation that allows performing an action on each element as it is encountered in the stream. In this case, System.out::print is used to print each element. However, since peek is intermediate, the printing occurs only when a terminal operation is executed.

limit(2):

The limit method is another intermediate operation that truncates the stream to contain no more than the specified number of elements. Here, it limits the stream to the first 2 elements.

forEach(i -> {}):

The forEach method is a terminal operation that performs the given action on each element of the stream. In this case, the action is an empty lambda expression (i -> {}), which does nothing for each element.

The sequence of operations can be visualized as follows:

Original Stream Elements: 0, 1, 2

After peek(System.out::print): Elements are printed as they are encountered.

After limit(2): Stream is truncated to 0, 1.

After forEach(i -> {}): No additional action; serves to trigger the processing.

Therefore, the output of the code is 01, corresponding to the first two elements of the list being printed due to the peek operation.

In Java, a lambda expression can have two forms for its body:

Single Expression:A concise form where the body consists of a single expression. The result of this expression is implicitly returned.

Example:

java

(a, b) -> a + b

In this example, (a, b) are the parameters, and a + b is the single expression that adds them together.

Statement Block:A more detailed form where the body consists of a block of statements enclosed in braces {}. Within this block, you can have multiple statements, and if a return value is expected, you must explicitly use the return statement.

Example:

java

(a, b) -> {

int sum = a + b;

System.out.println("Sum is: " + sum);

return sum;

}

In this example, the lambda body is a statement block that performs multiple actions: it calculates the sum, prints it, and then returns the sum.

Given the options:

A. Two statements:While a lambda body can contain multiple statements, they must be enclosed within a statement block {}. Simply having two statements without braces is not valid syntax for a lambda expression.

B. An expression and a statement:Similar to option A, if a lambda body contains more than one element (be it expressions or statements), they need to be enclosed in a statement block.

C. A statement block:This is correct. A lambda expression can have a body that is a statement block, allowing multiple statements enclosed in braces.

D. None of the above:This is incorrect since option C is valid.

E. Two expressions:As with options A and B, multiple expressions must be enclosed in a statement block to form a valid lambda body.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: A statement block.

The CopyOnWriteArrayList is a thread-safe variant of ArrayList in which all mutative operations (such as add, set, and remove) are implemented by creating a fresh copy of the underlying array. This design allows for safe iteration over the list without requiring external synchronization, as iterators operate over a snapshot of the array at the time the iterator was created. Consequently, modifications made to the list after the creation of an iterator are not reflected in that iterator.

docs.oracle.com

Evaluation of Options:

Option A:Correct. This statement accurately describes the behavior of CopyOnWriteArrayList.

Option B:Incorrect. CopyOnWriteArrayList is thread-safe and is designed to prevent interference among concurrent threads.

Option C:Incorrect. Iterators of CopyOnWriteArrayList do not reflect additions, removals, or changes made to the list after the iterator was created; they operate on a snapshot of the list's state at the time of their creation.

Option D:Incorrect. CopyOnWriteArrayList allows null elements.

Option E:Incorrect. Element-changing operations on iterators, such as remove, set, and add, are not supported in CopyOnWriteArrayList and will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

In this code, the strip() method is used to remove leading and trailing whitespace from strings. The strip() method, introduced in Java 11, is Unicode-aware and removes all leading and trailing characters that are considered whitespace according to the Unicode standard.

docs.oracle.com

Analysis of Each Statement:

First Statement:

java

String s = " ";

System.out.print("[" + s.strip());

The string s contains four spaces.

Applying s.strip() removes all leading and trailing spaces, resulting in an empty string.

The output is "[" followed by the empty string, so the printed result is "[".

Second Statement:

java

s = " hello ";

System.out.print("," + s.strip());

The string s is now " hello ".

Applying s.strip() removes all leading and trailing spaces, resulting in "hello".

The output is "," followed by "hello", so the printed result is ",hello".

Third Statement:

java

s = "h i ";

System.out.print("," + s.strip() + "]");

The string s is now "h i ".

Applying s.strip() removes the trailing spaces, resulting in "h i".

The output is "," followed by "h i" and then "]", so the printed result is ",h i]".

Combined Output:

Combining all parts, the final output is:

css

[,hello,h i]

In this program, the following operations are performed:

Paths Initialization:

Path p1 is set to "f1.txt".

Path p2 is set to "f2.txt".

File Move Operation:

Files.move(p1, p2); attempts to move (or rename) f1.txt to f2.txt.

File Delete Operation:

Files.delete(p1); attempts to delete f1.txt.

Analysis:

If f1.txt Does Not Exist:

The Files.move(p1, p2); operation will throw a NoSuchFileException because the source file f1.txt is missing.

If f1.txt Exists and f2.txt Does Not Exist:

The Files.move(p1, p2); operation will successfully rename f1.txt to f2.txt.

Subsequently, the Files.delete(p1); operation will throw a NoSuchFileException because p1 (now f1.txt) no longer exists after the move.

If Both f1.txt and f2.txt Exist:

The Files.move(p1, p2); operation will throw a FileAlreadyExistsException because the target file f2.txt already exists.

If f2.txt Exists While f1.txt Does Not:

Similar to the first scenario, the Files.move(p1, p2); operation will throw a NoSuchFileException due to the absence of f1.txt.

In all possible scenarios, an exception is thrown during the execution of the program.

Understanding java.util.function.Predicate<T>

The Predicate interface represents a function thattakes an input and returns a boolean(true or false).

It is often used for filtering operations in functional programming and streams.

Analyzing the Methods:

and(Predicate<? super T> other)→Default method

Combines two predicates usinglogical AND(&&).

java

Predicate startsWithA = s -> s.startsWith("A");

Predicate hasLength3 = s -> s.length() == 3;

Predicate combined = startsWithA.and(hasLength3);

❌isEqual(Object targetRef)→Static method

Not a default method, because it doesnot operate on an instance.

java

Predicate isEqualToHello = Predicate.isEqual("Hello");

negate()→Default method

Negates a predicate (! operator).

java

Predicate notEmpty = s -> !s.isEmpty();

Predicate isEmpty = notEmpty.negate();

❌not(Predicate<? super T> target)→Static method (introduced in Java 11)

Not a default method, since it is static.

or(Predicate<? super T> other)→Default method

Combines two predicates usinglogical OR(||).

❌test(T t)→Abstract method

Not a default method, because every predicatemust implement this method.

Thus, the correct answers are:and(Predicate<? super T> other), negate(), or(Predicate<? super T> other)

Understanding Constructors vs. Methods in Java

In Java, aconstructormustnot have a return type.

The followingis NOT a constructorbut aregular method:

java

void Versailles() { // This is NOT a constructor!

Correct way to define a constructor:

java

public Versailles() { // Constructor must not have a return type

Since there isno constructor explicitly defined,Java provides a default no-argument constructor, which does nothing.

Why Does Compilation Fail?

void Versailles() is interpreted as amethod,not a constructor.

This means the default constructor (which does nothing) is called.

Since the method Versailles() is never called, the object fields remain uninitialized.

If the constructor were correctly defined, the output would be:

nginx

Hall of Mirrors has 17 mirrors.

The gardens cover 800 hectares.

How to Fix It

java

public Versailles() { // Corrected constructor

this.mirrorsCount = 17;

this.gardensHectares = 800;

System.out.println("Hall of Mirrors has " + mirrorsCount + " mirrors.");

System.out.println("The gardens cover " + gardensHectares + " hectares.");

}

Thus, the correct answer is:Compilation fails at line n1.

In this code, an ArrayDeque named deque is created, and the integers 1 and 2 are added to it using the offer method. The offer method inserts the specified element at the end of the deque.

State of deque after offers:[1, 2]

The peek method retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the deque, returning 1. Therefore, i1 is assigned the value 1.

State of deque after peek:[1, 2]

Value of i1:1

The poll method retrieves and removes the head of the deque, returning 1. Therefore, i2 is assigned the value 1.

State of deque after poll:[2]

Value of i2:1

Another peek operation retrieves the current head of the deque, which is now 2, without removing it. Therefore, i3 is assigned the value 2.

State of deque after second peek:[2]

Value of i3:2

The System.out.println statement then outputs the values of i1, i2, and i3, resulting in 1 1 2.

In this code, two Optional objects are created:

o1 is an empty Optional.

o2 is an Optional containing the integer 1.

A stream is created from o1 and o2. The filter method retains only the Optional instances that are present (i.e., non-empty). This results in a stream containing only o2.

The findAny method returns an Optional describing some element of the stream, or an empty Optional if the stream is empty. Since the stream contains o2, findAny returns Optional[Optional[1]].

The flatMap method is then used to flatten this nested Optional. It applies the provided mapping function (o -> o) to the value, resulting in Optional[1].

Finally, o3.orElse(2) returns the value contained in o3 if it is present; otherwise, it returns 2. Since o3 contains 1, the output is 1.
