Given the code. What is the result? import java.util.Collections; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.

List; public class HashTest { private String str; public HashTest(String str) { this.str = str; } @Override public String toString() { return this.str; } public static void main(String args[]) { HashTest h1 = new HashTest("2"); String s1 = new String("1"); List<Object> list = new LinkedList<Object>(); list.add(h1); list.add(s1); Collections.sort(list); for (Object o : list) { System.out.print(o + " "); } } }

compilation fails. ==Bound mismatch: The generic method sort(List<T>) of type Collections is not applicable for the arguments (List<Object>). The inferred type Object is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <T extends Comparable<? super T>>

public class EmptyStringsTest { public static boolean isEmpty(String s) { return (s == null | s.length() == 0); } public static void main(String args[]) { if (isEmpty(null)) { System.out.print("empty "); } else { System.out.print("not_empty "); } } }

==You get a NullPointerException when you try to call a method using a variable that is null.

Simple example: String s = null; int len = s.length();

// NullPointerException because s is null

So you should check if the variable is null before calling any method on it, for example: int len; if (s == null) { len = 0; } else { len = s.length(); // safe, s is never null when you get here } Note that a NullPointerException is usually easy to solve. Carefully look at the stack trace of the exception, it tells you exactly in which line of your code the exception happens. Check what could benull in that line of code, and check if you're calling a method on something that might be null. Add a check (or prevent that the relevant thing can ever be null in another way).

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: ArrayTest cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable

D) An exception is thrown at runtime.

sort
public static void sort(Object[] a)

Sorts the specified array of objects into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements. All elements in the array must implement theComparable interface. Furthermore, all elements in the array must be mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the array). This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort. The sorting algorithm is a modified mergesort (in which the merge is omitted if the highest element in the low sublist is less than the lowest element in the high sublist). This algorithm offers guaranteed n*log(n) performance. Parameters: a - the array to be sorted. Throws:

- if the array contains elements that are not mutually comparable (for example, strings and integers). See Also:
ClassCastException Comparable
