(10 Questions)

  • 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.

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

    • The final output will be 'HelloThere'

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

  • Ans. 

    getwindowhandle returns the handle of the current window, getwindowhandles() returns handles of all open windows

    • getwindowhandle is used to switch between windows in Selenium WebDriver

    • Output type of getwindowhandle is String, while output type of getwindowhandles() is Set

  • Answered by AI
  • 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.
