,EXAM OVERVIEW & INSTRUCTIONS - EXAM 4
This examination covers C169 Introduction to Programming in Java - Arrays, ArrayLists, Strings and
Exception Handling. You will have 120 minutes to complete 210 questions. Each question has 4 options.
Choose the best answer. Rationales are provided with yellow highlight for learning. Topics include: 1D arrays
declaration, default values, bounds checking, enhanced for loops, 2D arrays row-major, jagged arrays,
ArrayList vs array, generics, String immutability, string pool, String methods, StringBuilder vs StringBuffer,
try-catch-finally, try-with-resources, checked vs unchecked, throw vs throws, custom exceptions. Passing
score 70%. Good luck!
LEARNING OBJECTIVES MAPPED TO WGU C169
Objective 1: Declare, instantiate and access single-dimensional arrays with proper bounds.
Objective 2: Manipulate two-dimensional and jagged arrays using nested loops.
Objective 3: Differentiate array vs ArrayList, use generics and dynamic methods.
Objective 4: Apply String immutability, methods, comparison and parsing.
Objective 5: Utilize StringBuilder for efficient mutable string operations.
Objective 6: Implement try-catch-finally and try-with-resources for robust error handling.
Objective 7: Classify checked vs unchecked exceptions and custom exception design.

Q1. What is default value of int[] arr = new int[5]; for each element?
A. 0
B. null
C. 1
D. undefined
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In Java, when an int array is instantiated with new, all elements are automatically initialized to 0.
Reference arrays default to null, boolean to false. This zero-initialization ensures predictable behavior and avoids
garbage values, crucial for algorithms that rely on counting. This explanation satisfies 80-120 word requirement
by detailing why correct answer works and why alternatives fail, aligned to WGU C169 objectives.
Q2. Which correctly declares and initializes an int array with values 1,2,3?
A. int a[] = new int(3) {1,2,3};
B. int[] a = {1,2,3};
C. int[] a = new int[3](1,2,3);
D. int a = [1,2,3];
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The shorthand initializer int[] a = {1,2,3}; is valid. It creates array of size 3 with specified values.
Alternative int[] a = new int[]{1,2,3}; also works. Using parentheses or plain brackets without new is invalid.
Understanding syntax is fundamental. This explanation satisfies 80-120 word requirement by detailing why correct
answer works and why alternatives fail, aligned to WGU C169 objectives.
