    SCJP  5.0  is the latest Entry Level Certification exam provided by SUN Microsystems. SCJP 5.0 is based up on J2SE 5.0. I recommend that u should choose J2SE 1.4 as it has more resources on the web. The fee is around $150. You can buy a Voucher online and take the test at any thompson optometric center (the voucher would be valid for 1 year using which you get 20% discount).

    The recommended scjp books that you need to follow are:

1. A Programmer's Guide to Java Certification
                                                                by Khalid Azim Mughal, Rolf Rasmussen

2. Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2 Study Guide (Exam 310-035 & 310-027)

SCJP mock Exam

QUESTION1
   What is the result of attempting to compile and run this code ?
   
      public class Test {
       public static void main(String[] args){
       int j = 0;
           for(; j < 3; j++){
           if (j==1) break out;
           System.out.print(j + "\n");
           }
       out:{System.out.println("bye");}
       }
      }



1. The code will fail to compile.
2. The code will run with no out put
3. This will run and print 0, 1 , 2 and "bye"
4. This will run and print 1 and "bye"

ANS : 1

     This will fail to compile because the labelled 
     block does not  enclose the break statement.



QUESTION2
 
      What is the result of attempting to compile and run this code ?

       class A extends Exception{}
       class B extends A{}
       class C extends B{}
       public class Test {
          static void aMethod() throws C{ throw new C(); }
          public static void main(String[] args){
          int x = 10;
           try { aMethod(); }
           catch(A e) { System.out.println("Error A");}
           catch(B e) { System.out.println("Error B");}
          }
       }



1. Compiler error
2. It will print "Error A"
3. It will print "Error B"
4. The exception will go uncaught by both catch blocks  

ANS : 1
 
   This will not compile because B is a subclass of A, 
   so it must come before A. For multiple catch statements
   the rule is  to place the the subclass exceptions before
   the superclass exceptions.
   


QUESTION3

    Will the print line statement execute here?
        while(true?true:false)
         {
          System.out.println("hello");
          break;
         }

1. Yes
2. No

ANS : 1
  The boolean condition here evaluates to true 
  so the print line will execute once.




QUESTION4


    What is the result of trying to compile and run this?
     public class Test {
       public static void main(String[] args){
         for(int i=0; i < 2; i++)
         {
         continue;
         System.out.println("Hello world");
         }
       }
     }

1. Prints "Hello world" once
2. Prints "Hello world" twice
3. Compiler error
4. Runs without any output

ANS : 3

    This will not compile because the print line statement
    is unreachable.         



QUESTION5
   
       Consider this code.
        public class Test {
          public static void main(String[] args){
             for(int j = 0; j < 1 ; j++)
             {
      if (j < 1) continue innerLoop;
innerLoop:      for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
                {
                System.out.println("Hello world");
                }
             }
          }
        }
  What is the result of attempting to compile and run this.

1. The code will not compile.
2. It will run and print "Hello world" twice.
3. It will run and print "Hello world" once.
4. It will run and print "Hello world" thrice.
5. It will run with no output 

ANS : 1



QUESTION6

  What will the output be ?
         public static void main(String[] args){
         char c = '\u0042';
         switch(c) {
         default:
         System.out.println("Default");
         case 'A':
         System.out.println("A");
         case 'B':
         System.out.println("B");
         case 'C':
         System.out.println("C");
         }
         }

1. Prints  - Default , A , B , C
2. Prints  - A
3. Prints  - B , C
4. Prints  - A, B , C , Default
5. Prints  - Default 

ANS : 3




QUESTION7
 
     What wil be printed out when this method runs ?
     void getCount(){  
       int counter = 0;
        for (int i=10; i>0; i--) {
             int j = 0;
             while (j > 10) {
                if (j > i) break;
                  counter++;
                  j++;
                 }
        }
        System.out.println(counter);
     }

1. 64
2. 53
3. 76 
4. 0

ANS : 4

  Counter never gets incremented because the inner loop
  is never entered. 



QUESTION8


   Is this code legal ?
   class ExceptionA extends Exception {}
   class ExceptionB extends ExceptionA {}
   public class Test{
       void thrower() throws ExceptionB{
       throw new ExceptionB();
       }
       public static void main(String[] args){
        Test t = new Test();
        try{t.thrower();}
        catch(ExceptionA e) {}
        catch(ExceptionB e) {}
       }
   }

1. Yes 
2. No

ANS : 2




QUESTION9


      Is this legal ?
        class ExceptionA extends Exception {}
        class ExceptionB extends ExceptionA {}
        public class Test{
            void thrower() throws ExceptionA{
             throw new ExceptionA();
            }
            public static void main(String[] args){
               Test t = new Test();
               try{t.thrower();}
               catch(ExceptionB e) {}
            }
          }

1. Yes 
2. No

ANS : 2

 correct answer/s : 2

Sun Certifications are well recognized in the developers' community. Perhaps one of the reasons why Sun Certifications are so popular is that the exams are generally viewed as fairly challenging.

SCJP: A Sun Certified Java Programmer uses J2SE technologies to demonstrate the programming competence on Java platform.
