Q6) Which of the following method is internally not called by the Object.toString() method?

a) getClass()
b) hashCode()
c) getName()
d) finalize()

Answer:- d) finalize()

The toString() method of java.lang.Object is implemented as, return getClass().getName() + “@” + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());

Q7) Whenever we are overriding the equals() method then it is recommended to override which method of the java.lang.Object class?

a) toString()
b) hashCode()
c) clone()
d) getClass()

View Answer

Answer:- a) hashCode()

Two equivalent objects should have the same hashcode. We should follows this relation between hashCode() and equals() method. Hence it is recommended to override the hashCode() method. Based on which parameter we override equals() method, it is highly recommended to use the same parameter while overriding hashCode() also.

Q8) Generally, which of the following method is overridden in the subclass just to change the accessibility modifier, not to change the implementation logic.

a) getClass()
b) clone()
c) equals()
d) hashCode()

View Answer

Answer:- b) clone()

The clone() method of the Object class is protected and because of this, we can access it only in the subclass, not in the user class (like Test class). To overcome this problem we must override the clone() method of java.lang.Object class. Since we are overriding the clone() method just to change the accessibility modifier not to change the implementation logic so while overriding we must call Object class clone() as super.clone().

Q9) Find the output of the below Java program?

class Student {}
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

a) Test
b) Student
c) Object
d) Class

Q10) Whenever we call the getClass() method then which of the following statement is valid.

a) Test class is loaded, stored in JVM & java.lang.Class object reference is returned. The static variable, static block, the main method of the Test class are not executed.
b) Test class is loaded, stored in JVM & java.lang.Class object reference is returned. The static variables and static blocks are executed. But the main method is not executed.
c) Already created Class object reference with the Test class is returned.
d) None of these

View Answer

Answer:- c) Already created Class object reference with Test class is returned.

The getClass() method is a non-static method and it means to call getClass() method object must be there. The object can be created after class loading, and static variable/block execution.
