Question 5

True or False? The ArrayList class implements both the Collection interface and the List interface. Therefore, it is both a collection and a list , and adheres to the contracts and stipulations of both interfaces.

Answer 5

Question 6

True or False? The reverseOrder method returns a Comparator that imposes the reverse of the natural ordering on a collection of objects that implement the Comparable interface.

Answer 6

Question 7

True or False? The natural ordering of the elements in a collection is the ordering imposed by the objects' own compare method.

Answer 7

Question 8

True or False? All Java objects have a natural ordering .

Answer 8

Question 9

True or False? The Comparator object returned by the reverseOrder method can be used to impose a reverse natural order on any collection of objects that implement the Comparable interface.

Answer 9

Question 10

True or False? If you don't understand interfaces, they can't possibly understand Java.

Answer 10

Question 11

True or False? A SortedMap is a Map that maintains its entries in ascending order, sorted according to the values' natural ordering, or according to a Comparator provided at the time of the SortedMap creation.

Answer 11

Question 12

True or False? An object of type Map is an object that maps keys to values. Such an object can contain duplicate keys but cannot containduplicate values

Answer 12

Question 13
