5. What exception will be thrown when the following program is run?

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
   try { 
      int[] list = new int[5];
      System.out.println(list[5]);
   } 
   catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e) 
   {
      try {

         int x = 10/0;
      }
      catch(ArithmeticException ae) { } 
   }
   System.out.println("ABC");  
 }
}

Output: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

6. What exception will be thrown when the program is run?

public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    try {
       int[] list = new int[10];
       System.out.println("list[10] is " + list[10]);
    }
    catch (ArithmeticException ex) {
         System.out.println("ArithmeticException");
    }
    catch (RuntimeException ex) {
         System.out.println("RuntimeException");
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
         System.out.println("Exception");
    } 
 }
}

Output: RuntimeException

7. What is displayed on the console when the following program is run?

a)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
   try {
      method();
      System.out.println("After the method call");
   }
   catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException se) {
       System.out.println("StringIndexOutOfBoundsException");
   }
   catch (RuntimeException ex) {
       System.out.println("RuntimeException");
   }
   catch (Exception e) {
       System.out.println("Exception");
   }
}
static void method() throws Exception {
    String str = "Hello";
    char ch = str.charAt(5);
    System.out.println(ch);
 }
}

Output: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

b)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    try {
       method();
       System.out.println("I am in try block");
    }
    catch (RuntimeException ex) {
         System.out.println("RuntimeException in main");
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
         System.out.println("Exception in main");
    }
}
static void method() throws Exception {
try {
   int a[] = {10, 20, 30, 40};
   a[10] = 5;
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
    System.out.println("ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in method()");
}
catch (RuntimeException re) {
    System.out.println("RuntimeException in method()");
}
catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Exception in method()");
}
 }
}

Output: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in method(), I am in try block

c)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    try {
       method();
       System.out.println("I am in try block");
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("I am in catch block");	
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("I am in finally block");	
    }
}
static void method() throws Exception {
try {
   int a[] = {10, 20, 30, 40};
   a[4] = 20;
   System.out.println(a[4]);
 
   try {
      int x = 1/0;
      System.out.println(x);
   }
   catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
      System.out.println("I am in inner catch block");  
    }
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
     System.out.println("I am in outer catch block");
  }
 }
}

Output: I am in outer catch block, I am in try block, I am in finally block

d)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    try {
       method();
       System.out.println("I am in try block");
       int a = 1/0;
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("I am in catch block");	
    }
    System.out.println("I am in main method");
}
static void method() throws Exception {
try {
   int a[] = {10, 20, 30, 40};
   a[3] = 20;
   System.out.println(a[3]);
 
   try {
      int x = 1/0;
      System.out.println(x);
   }
   catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
      System.out.println("I am in inner catch block");  
   }
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
     System.out.println("I am in outer catch block");
  }
 }
}

Output: 20, I am in inner catch block, I am in try block, I am in catch block, I am in main method

e)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ 
   try {
      method();
   }
   finally {
      System.out.println("I am in finally block");	
   }
}
static void method() throws Exception {
try {
   int[]  list = new int[5];
   System.out.println(list[0]);

   try {
      System.out.println(list[5]);
   }
   catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
        System.out.println("I am in inner catch block");  
   }
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
    System.out.println("I am in outer catch block");
  }
 }
}

Output: 0, I am in outer catch block, I am in finally block

8. What will be the output of the program when an exception occurred in try block?

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ 
    try {
       System.out.println("ABC");
       int x = 1/0;
       System.out.println("PQR");

       try {
          System.out.println("XYZ");	
       }
       catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
           System.out.println("I am in inner catch block");  
       }
    }
    catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
         System.out.println("I am in outer catch block");
    }
  }
}

Output: ABC, Exception in thread “main” java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero.

9. What will be the output when the following program has complied?

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ 
    try {
       System.out.println("ABC");	
       int a  = 5, b = 10, c = 5;
       a += 5;
       b -= a + c;
       int x = (a + b)/(b + c);
       System.out.println(x);
       System.exit(0);
    }
    catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
        System.out.println("PQR");	
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("XYZ");	
    }
 }
}

Output: ABC, PQR, XYZ

10. What will be the output of the program when System.exit(0); statement is used just above an exception in try block?

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ 
    try {
       System.out.println("ABC");	
       System.exit(0);
       int x = 1 / 0;
    }
    catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
        System.out.println("PQR");	
    }
    finally {
        System.out.println("XYZ");	
    }
 }
}

Output: ABC

11. Will finally block be executed in the below program? What will be the output?

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{ 
   try {
      System.out.println("ABC");	
      int x = 1 / 0;
   }
   catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
      System.out.println("PQR");
      System.exit(0);
   }
   finally {
       System.out.println("XYZ");	
   }
 }
}

Output: No, finally block will not be executed.

    ABC, PQR

12. Will the program be successfully compiled?

class Test {
   int m1(){
      try {
         System.out.println("ABC");
         return 50;
      }
      catch(Exception e) {
          System.out.println("I am in catch block");
      }
   }	
public static void main(String[] args) { 
    Test t = new Test();
    t.m1();
 }
}

Ans: No, Compile time error.

13. What will be displayed on the console when the following program is run?

a)

class Test {
  int m1() {
       try {
          System.out.println("ABC");
          return 50;
       }
       catch(Exception e) {
           System.out.println("I am in catch block");
       }
     return 10;
  }	
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
   Test t = new Test();
   System.out.println(t.m1());
 }
}

Output: ABC, 50

b)

class Test {
int m1() 
{
    try {
       System.out.println("ABC");
       int x = 1/0;
       return 50;
    }
    catch(ArithmeticException ae)
    {
       System.out.println("I am in catch block");
    }
   return 10;
}	
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    Test t = new Test();
    System.out.println(t.m1());
 }
}

Output: ABC, I am in catch block, 10

c)

class Test {
int m1()
{
    try {
       System.out.println("ABC");
       int x = 1/0;
       return 50;
    }
    catch(ArithmeticException ae) {
        System.out.println("I am in catch block");
        return 40;
    }
    finally {
        return 60;
    }
}	
public static void main(String[] args)
{ 
    Test t = new Test();
    System.out.println(t.m1());
 }
}

Output: ABC, I am in catch block, 60
