Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules on Java Collections designed for teaching ITSE2321 - Object-Oriented Programming (Java) at Austin Community College in Austin, TX.

This module contains review questions and answers keyed to the module titled Java4080: The Comparable Interface, Part 2 .

Once you study that module, you should be able to answer the review questions in this module.

The questions and the answers in this module are connected by hyperlinks to make it easy for you to navigate from the question to the answer and back again.

Questions

Question 1 .

True or False? The elements stored in a TreeSet collection must be references to objects instantiated from a class that implements the Comparable interface or makes use of an alternative approach involving the Comparator interface.

Answer 1

Question 2

What output is produced by the program shown in Listing 1 ?

  • Compiler Error
  • Runtime Error
  • 44321
  • 4321
  • 1234
  • 12344
  • None of the above.

Answer 2

Question 3

True or False? The program in Listing 1 throws a runtime error because the class named MyClass fails to implement the CompareTo interface.

Answer 3

Question 4

What output is produced by the program shown in Listing 2 ?

  • Compiler Error
  • Runtime Error
  • 44321
  • 4321
  • 1234
  • 12344
  • None of the above.

Answer 4

Question 5

True or False? A class that implements the Comparable interface must provide a concrete definition of the compareTo method.

Answer 5

Listings

What is the meaning of the following two images?

These images were inserted here simply to insert some space between the questions and the answers to keep them from being visible on the screen at thesame time.

Spacer image of a rabbit and a penguin.

This image was also inserted for the purpose of inserting space between the questions and the answers.
