Assertion reason based questions in Java | ICSE
Summary
TLDRThis educational video introduces assertion-reason based questions, a new type highlighted in the ICSC 2024 paper. It covers topics like Java's method overloading, object creation from classes, array indexing, multi-level inheritance, do-while loops, constructor inheritance, increment/decrement operators, variable mutability, and access specifiers for local variables. Each concept is paired with an assertion and a reason, followed by a multiple-choice question to test understanding. The video aims to clarify these computer science concepts and enhance students' problem-solving skills.
Takeaways
- 🔑 Java supports method overloading, allowing multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.
- 🏭 A class in Java is referred to as an object factory because it is the blueprint from which objects are instantiated.
- 📊 The index of the last element in an array is one less than the total number of elements, not equal to it, as arrays are zero-indexed.
- 🔄 In multi-level inheritance, a derived class can act as a base class for another class, demonstrating the concept of polymorphism.
- 🔁 The do-while loop always executes at least once because its condition is checked after the loop body is executed, making it an exit-controlled loop.
- 🚫 Constructors in Java cannot be inherited because they are not members of a class; they are used to initialize objects.
- ➕ Increment and decrement operators are unary, not binary, as they operate on a single operand to modify its value.
- 🔒 The value of a variable can be fixed by declaring it as 'final', which means the variable becomes immutable after initialization.
- 🔍 Pure methods, also known as accessors, are methods that do not modify the state of an object and are typically used to retrieve values.
- 📍 Local variables do not require an access specifier because they are declared within methods, constructors, or blocks and their scope is limited to the block they are defined in.
Q & A
What is the significance of method overloading in Java as mentioned in the script?
-Method overloading in Java allows the creation of multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. This is possible due to Java's implementation of polymorphism, which enables the same method name to be used for different purposes.
How is a class referred to as an object factory, and why is this term used?
-A class is referred to as an object factory because it serves as a blueprint for creating objects. The term is used because objects are instantiated or 'manufactured' from classes, which contain the common attributes and behaviors that the objects will inherit.
What is the relationship between the index of the last element of an array and the number of elements in the array?
-The index of the last element of an array is one less than the number of elements in the array. This is because array indexing in Java begins at 0, so the last element's index is the array's length minus one.
Can a derived class act as a base class for another class, and how does this relate to multi-level inheritance?
-Yes, a derived class can act as a base class for another class. This is a fundamental concept in multi-level inheritance, where a class that is derived from another can itself be the ancestor for further derived classes, creating a hierarchy of classes.
Does the do-while loop always execute at least once, and why?
-Yes, the do-while loop always executes at least once because it is an exit-controlled loop. The conditional expression is evaluated after the execution of the loop body, ensuring that the loop runs at least once before the condition is checked.
Can constructors be inherited in Java, and what does this imply about their nature within a class?
-Constructors cannot be inherited in Java. This implies that constructors are not considered members of a class in the same way variables and methods are. They are specific to the class in which they are defined and are not part of the class's inheritance hierarchy.
What are the characteristics of increment and decrement operators, and why are they considered unary operators?
-Increment and decrement operators are unary operators because they require only one operand to function. They are used to modify the value of a variable by incrementing or decrementing it by one.
Can the value of a variable be fixed in Java, and if so, how?
-Yes, the value of a variable can be fixed in Java by using the 'final' keyword. When a variable is declared as 'final', its value cannot be changed once it has been assigned.
What is a pure method, and how does it relate to the state of an object?
-A pure method, also known as an accessor, is a method that does not change the state of an object. It is a type of method that only retrieves or returns information without modifying the object's state or data.
Why can't local variables use access specifiers, and where are they typically declared?
-Local variables cannot use access specifiers because they are declared within methods, constructors, or blocks, and their scope is limited to that block. Access specifiers are not applicable to local variables as their visibility and lifetime are confined to the block in which they are declared.
Outlines
📚 Java Polymorphism and Object Factory
This paragraph introduces a special video for students focusing on assertion-reason based questions, a new type highlighted in the 2024 ICSC Spaceman paper. The first question explores Java's polymorphism, allowing the creation of multiple methods with the same name through method overloading. The correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true, with the reason correctly explaining the concept. The second question discusses the concept of a class being known as an object factory, which is true because objects are instantiated from classes. The explanation that objects are created from classes containing common attributes and behaviors is correct, making option B the right choice.
🔢 Array Indexing and Multi-Level Inheritance
The third question addresses the indexing of arrays, stating that the index of the last element is equal to the number of elements in the array. The explanation clarifies that array indexing starts from zero, making the assertion false and the reason true. The fourth question covers multi-level inheritance, where a derived class can act as a base class for another class, which is true. The explanation is also correct, affirming that derived classes can serve as base classes in the context of multi-level inheritance.
🔁 Do-While Loop and Constructor Inheritance
The fifth question examines the do-while loop, which always executes at least once due to its exit control nature, where the conditional expression is evaluated after the execution. The assertion is true, and the reason is also true, making option C the correct answer. The sixth question discusses constructors and their inheritability. It is stated that constructors cannot be inherited because they are not members of a class, which is true. The correct answer is option D, where the assertion is false, and the reason is true.
➕ Increment/Decrement Operators and Variable Fixity
The seventh question focuses on increment and decrement operators, which are unary operators requiring only one operand. The assertion that they are binary operators is false, while the reason stating they require one operand is true, leading to option D being correct. The eighth question discusses the fixity of variable values, which can be fixed using the 'final' keyword. The assertion that a variable's value cannot be fixed is false, and the reason is true, making option D the correct answer.
🔑 Pure Methods and Local Variable Scope
The ninth question defines a pure method as one that doesn't change the state of an object, also known as an accessor. The assertion and reason are both true, with the reason correctly explaining the nature of pure methods. The final question addresses local variables, stating that they cannot use any access specifier because they are declared within methods, constructors, or blocks, and their scope is limited to these blocks. The assertion and reason are both true, and the explanation is correct, making option C the correct answer.

hello everyone welcome to knowledge
Circle today I have brought a special
video for my students
these questions are a new type of
question which was already mentioned in
the spaceman paper icsc 2024 so
questions are assertion reason based
questions so I have prepared some
questions for you all and I will see
these questions so let's begin the
questions first question is assertion
in Java more than one method can be
created with the same name it is a
statement reason is given Java
implements polymorphism that allows
method to be overloaded so it's possible
to create a more than one method with
same name and this process is called
polymorphism so we have four options
like both assertion and reasons are true
and reason is correct explanation of
second is both assertion and reasons are
true but reason is not correct
explanation of it third is assertion is
true reason is false fourth is assertion
is false reason is true so what will be
correct answer here the correct answer
is both assertion and reasons are true
and reason is the correct explanation of
a moving towards question second
assertion is a class is known as object
Factory reason is objects are created
from class which contains common
attributing Behavior
so we have to see the options first
option is assertion and reason are true
but reason is not correct explanation
second is assertion and reason are true
reason is correct explanation of view
third is assertion is true reason is
false and fourth is assertion is first
reason is true so the correct answer
will be what yes class is known as
object Factory because the objects are
created through class only and that's
why the option b will be correct means
both assertion and reason are true and
the reason is the correct explanation
let us move to the question number three
assertion the index of the last element
of an array is equal to the number of
elements okay index of the last element
of an array is equal to the number of
elements in the array this is the
assertion given and a reason is given
here index of an array begins from zero
so options are both assertions and
reasons are true and reason is correct
definition Second is both are true but
not the correct explanation third is
assertion is true reason is false fourth
is assertion is false region is true so
here what will happen see the index of
last element is one lesser than the
number of elements not equal to so
because indexing begins from zero if
there are ten elements so first will be
0 and the last will be nine so we will
say that assertion is what assertion is
false and reason is true okay so
assertion is false reason is true both
are not true as per the option we will
go question number four
assertion is given a derived class can
be uh based based sorry it's a mistyped
it should be Base Class so a derived
class can be a base class for another
class this is the statement reason is
given in multi-level inheritance a
derived class can serve as Base Class
options are assertions and reasons are
true and correct explanation of a is r r
is the correct explanation both a and
are true but reason is not correct
explanation of a third option is a and
are both are false next one is a and a
is true R is false and fourth option is
a is false R is true so C derived class
can be solved as base class when we
follow the concept of multi-level
inheritance so here our option A will be
correct fourth a both are true and the
explanation R is correct
question number five
do while loop always execute at least
once okay reason is do by Loop is an
exit control Loop that is conditional
expression is evaluated after execution
here it is given a is true reason is
false here it is given assertion is and
reason both are true but reason is not
correct explanation third is both are
true reason is correct explanation and
again here we have assertion is false
reason is true so yes do i Loop is an
exit control Loop that's why it execute
at least once okay so here our correct
answer will be fifth C option C is
correct let's go to question number six
statement is Constructor can be
inherited reason is Constructor is not
member of class so first option is both
A and R are true reason
and is the correct explanation second
option is both assertion and reason are
true reason is not the correct
explanation
so and third is a is true R is false and
here a is false R is true so C
Constructor cannot be inherited it is
true that Constructor sorry the
statement is Constructor can be
inherited so Constructor cannot be
inherited it is false but the reason is
correct because the Constructor is not
the part of the class it's not a member
members are variables and methods only
so here the option D will be correct
assertion is false and reason is true
question seven
increment and decrement operators are
binary operators incrementing and the
reason is given here increment decrement
operator require only one operand so
here both assertion and reasons as true
reason is correct explanation next one
is not correct explanation again option
C is assertion is true reason is false d
is assertion is for the reason is true
see increment and decrement operators
are not binary operator they are unary
operator because they require only one
operand so accordingly which option will
be correct here it will be correct d
because yes assertion is wrong and the
reason is true
going to question number eight
statement assertion value of a variable
cannot be fixed
variable the value of the variable is
not fixed but it can be or not that we
have to seek cannot be fixed reason is a
variable's value can be fixed by using
final keyword
options again both reason and assertions
are true and the reason is the correct
explanation of a here both reasons and
assertions are true and reason is not
the correct explanation of a third is a
is true R is false fourth is a is false
R is true so here accordingly uh what
will be the correct answer value of a
variable cannot be fixed it is what
false
okay value of a variable uh cannot be
fixed it is false it can be fixed and
the reason is that true so we will go
with option D what is the correct option
option D assertion is false and the
reason is true
question 9 pure method is also known as
accessor and uh
this is statement reason is pure method
doesn't change the state of object
both assertion and reasons are true and
it is the reason is the correct
explanation of a again both assertion
and reason are true but reason is not
correct explanation of a third option is
a is true R is false fourth is a is
false R is true see pure method is also
known as access yes they are known as
accessories it is true pure method
doesn't change the state of object yes
really it doesn't change the state of
object that's why it is pure so option A
is correct okay last question of this
video assertion a local variable can't
use any access specifier reason is local
variable is declared in method or in any
Constructor or a block
okay so uh first option is assertion is
false reason is true next one is both
are true but the reason is not correct
explanation third is assertion and
reason both are true and reason is
correct explanation of a fourth is
assertion a is true and reason R is
false so accordingly what will happen
yes a local variable doesn't require any
access space file because it is declared
in a block so its scope is up to the
blocks so there is no use of access
specifier in a local variable so here
option C will be correct both assertion
and reasons are true and and the correct
explanation of acceleration is reason r
