(10 Questions)

  • Q1. What is the output of below code class Animal{ Animal(){ System.out.println("animal is created") } class Dog extends Animal{ Dog(){ System.out.println("Dog is created")} class TestSuper4{ pub...
  • Ans. 

    The output of the code will be 'animal is created' followed by 'Dog is created'.

    • The code defines a class Animal with a constructor that prints 'animal is created'.

    • It also defines a class Dog that extends Animal, with a constructor that prints 'Dog is created'.

    • In the main method, an instance of Dog is created, which will trigger the constructors of both Animal and Dog classes.

  • Q2. Output of this : System.out.println(10+20+"Hello"+30+40) - Explain
  • Q3. Output of this : String name="Hello"; name=name+"There"; system.out.println(name)
  • Ans. 

    The output will be 'HelloThere'

    • Concatenation of 'Hello' and 'There' results in 'HelloThere'

    • The final string is printed using System.out.println()

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer("Hello") buffer.append("There"); System.out.println(buffer);
  • Ans. 

    The code creates a StringBuffer object with 'Hello' and appends 'There' to it before printing the final string.

    • StringBuffer is mutable, so the original 'Hello' string can be modified

    • The append() method adds the specified string to the end of the buffer

    • The final output will be 'HelloThere'

  • Ans. 

    Option a is valid, option b is valid, option c is invalid.

    • Option a is valid because ChromeDriver is a subclass of WebDriver, so it can be assigned to a WebDriver reference.

    • Option b is valid because ChromeDriver is a subclass of WebDriver, so it can be instantiated using a WebDriver reference.

    • Option c is invalid because WebDriver is an interface and cannot be instantiated directly. It can only be used as a reference typ

    findElement returns the first matching element on the page, while findElements returns a list of all matching elements.

    • findElement returns a single WebElement matching the locator provided

    • findElements returns a list of WebElements matching the locator provided

    • findElement will throw NoSuchElementException if no element is found, while findElements will return an empty list

  • Q9. Question on finding the xpaths on website
  • Q10. Difference between String and StringBuilder?
  • Ans. 

    String is immutable, while StringBuilder is mutable and more efficient for concatenating strings.

    • String is immutable, meaning its value cannot be changed once it is created.

    • StringBuilder is mutable, allowing for modifications to the string without creating a new object.

    • StringBuilder is more efficient for concatenating multiple strings as it does not create new objects each time.

    • Example: String str = "Hello"; StringBuil
