Once we have implemented the solution, we are not done with the problem because
a) the solution may not be the best (most efficient)b) the solution may have errors and need testing and fixing before we are done
c) the solution may, at a later date, need revising to handle new specifications
d) the solution may, at a later date, need revising because of new programming language features
e) all of the above
Answer: e.
Explanation: A program should not be considered as a finished product until we are reasonably assured that it is efficient and error-free. Further, it is common that programs require modification in the future because of a change to specifications or a change to the language or computer running the program.

- In Java, the mechanism that allows you to combine data and operations on the data into a single unit is called a(n)

- In order to have some code throw an exception, you would use which of the following reserved words?
- An exception can produce a “call stack trace” which lists

- Assume that you are defining a class and you want to implement an ActionListener. You state addActionListener(this); in your class’ constructor. What does this mean?
- In order to implement Comparable in a class, what method(s) must be defined in that class?
- Which of the following interfaces would be used to implement a class that represents a group (or collection) of objects?
- An object that refers to part of itself within its own methods can use which of the following reserved words to denote this relationship?
- Static methods cannot
- Which of the following methods is a static method? The class in which the method is defined is given in parentheses following the method name.
- An object may be made up of other objects.
- Method decomposition is the process of creating overloaded versions of a method that do the same thing, but operate on different data types.
- The println method on System.out is overloaded.
- A method defined without a return statement will cause a compile error.
- If a method takes a double as a parameter, you could pass it an int as the actual parameter.
- The different versions of an overloaded method are differentiated by their signatures.
- The number and types of the actual parameters must match the number and types of the formal parameters.
- The return statement must be followed a single variable that contains the value to be returned.
