Java is said to be a "safe" programming language. What does this mean?

Java programs can run within a browser without fear that they may attack your computer

What kind of error is created by the following code snippet? System.out.print("The sum of 8 and 12 is "); System.out.println(8*12);

Logic error: the program does not produce the desired result

Suppose you examine a simple Java program and the first line is ' public Class HelloPrinter ' . Is this the same thing in Java as the line ' public Class helloprinter ' ?

No, because Java is case-sensitive, these are considered to be completely distinct

A Java class with the name Printer has to be saved using the source file name:

Printer.java

What is one of the benefits of using a high-level programming language like Java?

Problems solved in a high-level language are independent of the underlying computer

Who or what is responsible for inspecting and testing the program to guard against logic errors?

Programmer

Which one of the following methodologies is a sequence of steps formulated in English for solving a program?

Pseudocode

The programmer, not the compiler, is responsible for testing a program to identify

Run-time errors

Because Java was designed for the Internet, which two of its attributes make it suitable for beginning programmers?

Safety and portability

Which of the following refers to a collection of programs that a computer executes?

Software

What kind of error is created by the following code snippet? System.outt.println("Hello");

Syntax error: the program will not compile

Which one of the following errors represents a part of a program that is incorrect according to the rules of the programming language?

Syntax errors

Which one of the following code snippets compiles without errors and displays the output "Hello Good Day!" on the screen?

System.out.print("Hello "); System.out.println("Good Day!");

Which Java statement does not contain an error?

System.out.println();

Which Java statement prints a blank line?

System.out.println();

How do programmers find exceptions and run-time errors?

Testing by running the program with a variety of input values

Consider a scenario in which you develop a Java program on a computer that has a Pentium processor. What step should you take to run the same Java program on a computer that has a different processor?

The compiled Java machine language instructions can be run on any processor that has a Java Virtual Machine

When a compiler finds a syntax error in a program, what happens?

The compiler continues and may report about other errors but does not produce a Java class file

These two lines of code do not produce the same output. Why? System.out.println(7 + 3); System.out.println("7 + 3");

The quotes cause the second expression to be treated as a string

What is the output from this code snippet? System.out.print("The sum is "); System.out.println("7 + 3");

The sum is 7 + 3
