5. What will happen when you attempt to compile and run the following code segment?

1. int output = 10;
2. boolean b1 = false;
3.
4. if((b1) && ((output += 10) == 20)){

6. }
7. else {
8.    System.out.println(output);
9. }

A. Compilation error, attempting to perform binary comparison on logical data type.

B. Compilation error at line 4.

C. Compilation and output of 20

D. Compilation and output of 10

6. Given the code below, what happens when you attempt to compile it?

 1. class Base {
 2.    void test() {
 3.        System.out.println("Base");
 4.    }
 5. }
 6. class Child extends Base {
 7.    void test( ){
 8.        System.out.println("Child");
 9.        super.test();
10.    }
11.    static public void main(String[] args) {
12.        new Child().test();
13.    }
14. }

A. It cannot compile. The code at line 9 should be the first statement in the method.

B. It cannot compile. The super should not be used to refer the super method at line 9.

 4.    }
 5.    public void run() {
 6.        while(true) {
 7.           System.out.print(1);
 8.        }
 9.    }
10.    public static void main(String[] args) {
11.        MyThread myT = new MyThread();
12.        myT.start();
13.    }
14. }

A. It runs well. Ones printed on the screen until you kill the thread by pressing ctrl-C.

B. It runs. But code at line 7 will never be reached.

C. It runs. But one will be printed out at least once.

D. It runs. But code at line 7 will be called repeatedly with 0.01 second interval delay.

E. The code itself doesn't compile.

8.   Which of the following code calculates intersection?
A.    Set x = new HashSet(set1);
             x.retainAll(set2);
B.    Set x = new HashSet(set1);
             x.addAll(set2);
C.    Set x = new HashSet(set1);
             x.removeAll(set2);
