Q1) Using Enumeration(I) we can perform?
a) Read Operation
b) Remove Operation
c) Add/Update Operation
d) Both (a) and (b)
e) All of these
View Answer
Answer:- a) Read OperationUsing Enumeration(I) we can perform only read operation. The nextElement() read the elements.
Q2) Using Iterator(I) we can perform?
a) Read Operation
b) Remove Operation
c) Add/Update Operation
d) Both (a) and (b)
e) All of these
View Answer
Answer:- d) Both (a) and (b)Using Iterator(I) we can perform both read and remove operations. Iterator(I) contains next() method to read the element, and remove() method to delete/remove the element.
Q3) Using ListIterator(I) we can perform?
a) Read Operation
b) Remove Operation
c) Add/Update Operation
d) Both (a) and (b)
e) All of these
View Answer
Answer:- e) All of theseUsing ListIterator(I) we can read, remove, add, and update elements. ListIterator(I) is the child interface of Iterator(I) therefore it can read, and remove the element. Along with this, it also contains add() and set() methods to add and update operations.
Q4) Enumeration and Iterator is ____ but ListIterator is ____ ?
a) Unidirectional, Bidirectional
b) Bidirectional, Unidirectional
c) Unidirectional, Unidirectional
d) Bidirectional, Bidirectional
View Answer
Answer:- a) Unidirectional, BidirectionalThe Enumeration and Iterator can move only in the forward direction but ListIterator can move in both the forward and backward directions. Hence Enumeration & Iterator are Unidirectional whereas ListIterator is bidirectional.

}
a) 10 20 10 20 88 99
b) 10 20 88 99 10 20 88 99
c) Compile time error
d) Exception raised at Runtime
View Answer
Answer:- d) Exception raised at RuntimeHere we will get ConcurrentModificationException.
While retrieving elements, the collection object structure should not be modified by either adding elements or removing elements using collection object methods. After this modification, if we call itr.next(), it leads to java.util.ConcurrentModificationException. This behavior is called fail-fast. Note:- This point is also applicable for ListIterator.
Q10) Enumeration is ___ but Iterator and ListIterator are ___?
a) Fail-Fast, Fail-Fast
b) Fail-Fast, Fail-Safe
c) Fail-Safe, Fail-Fast
d) Fail-Safe, Fail-Safe
View Answer
Answer:- c) Fail-Safe, Fail-FastThe Enumeration is Fail-Safe it means while retrieving elements, the collection object can be modified and it will reflect in the Enumeration. But Iterator and ListIterator are Fail-Fast it means while retrieving elements, the collection object structure should not be modified by either adding elements or removing elements using collection object methods. After this modification, if we call itr.next(), it leads to java.util.ConcurrentModificationException.
Q11) Exception can be raised at which place?
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.ListIterator;
import java.util.Vector;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Vector<Integer> vc = new Vector<Integer>();
Enumeration<Integer> e = vc.elements();
System.out.println(e.nextElement()); // PLACE-1
Iterator<Integer> itr = vc.iterator();
System.out.println(itr.next()); // PLACE-2
ListIterator<Integer> litr = vc.listIterator();
System.out.println(litr.next()); // PLACE-3
}
}
a) PLACE-1
b) PLACE-2
c) PLACE-3
d) All of these
View Answer
Answer:- d) All of theseThe exception “NoSuchElementException” will be raised at all three places, because we can’t read operation on empty Collection. Currently Vector class is empty.

d) None of these
View Answer
Answer:- b) 11 13 15 [11, 13, 15]Initially, the list contains [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15], while iterating the list we displayed odd numbers, and the remaining numbers are removed from the list. Later list contains only [11, 13, 15].
Q13) Find the output of the below program?
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ListIterator;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> al = new ArrayList<String>();
al.add("A");
al.add("B");
al.add("C");
al.add("D");
ListIterator<String> litr = al.listIterator();
while (litr.hasNext()) {
String str = litr.next();
if (str.equals("A"))
litr.remove();
else if (str.equals("B"))
litr.add("E");
else if (str.equals("C"))
litr.set("F");
}
System.out.println(al);
}
}
a) [B, E, F, D]
b) [B, F, D, E]
c) [B, C, D, E, F]
d) None of these
View Answer
Answer:- a) [B, E, F, D]Initially, the list contains [A, B, C, D]. Using an iterator we started iterating the list. On calling next() cursor moved to “A”. The “A” is matched with the if-else condition, and due to remove() method “A” will be removed from the list. Currently, the list becomes [B, C, D], and the cursor is at the beginning of the list.
On calling next() cursor hold “B”. It is matched with the if-else condition and “E” will be added to the list. Note that here “E” will be added to the place where the cursor is available but not at the end of the list. Now, the list becomes [B, E, C, D]. Currently, the cursor holds “E”.
On calling next() cursor moved to “C”. Due to the set() method “C” will be replaced with “F”. Now the list becomes [B, E, F, D].
On Calling next() cursor moved to “D” but therefore there is no operation for the string “D”. Finally iteration was completed, and control came out of the loop. The list is:- [B, E, F, D]
You can demonstrate it through below code,
while (litr.hasNext()) {
String str = litr.next();
System.out.println(str);
if (str.equals("A")) {
litr.remove();
System.out.println(al);
}
else if (str.equals("B")) {
litr.add("E");
System.out.println(al);
}
else if (str.equals("C")) {
litr.set("F");
System.out.println(al);
}
}
System.out.println(al);

}
}
a) [ ]
b) [A, C]
c) Exception
d) None of these
View Answer
Answer:- c) ExceptionIn this program, we will get IllegalStateException. The remove() method must be called only after the next() method call that to only once, violation leads to java.util.IllegalStateException.
