The code fragment will fail to compile because the parseInt method of the Integer class is a static method, which means that it can be invoked without creating an object of the class. However, the code is trying to invoke the parseInt method on an object of type Integer, which is not allowed. The correct way to invoke the parseInt method is by using the class name, such as Integer.parseInt (s). Therefore, the code fragment will produce a compilation error.

Questions 5
Which statement is true about modules?
Options:
A.
Automatic and unnamed modules are on the module path.
B.
Only unnamed modules are on the module path.
C.
Automatic and named modules are on the module path.
A module path is a sequence of directories that contain modules or JAR files. A named module is a module that has a name and a module descriptor (module-info.class) that declares its dependencies and exports. An automatic module is a module that does not have a module descriptor, but is derived from the name and contents of a JAR file. Both named and automatic modules can be placed on the module path, and they can be resolved by the Java runtime. An unnamed module is a special module that contains all the classes that are not in any other module, such as those on the class path. An unnamed module is not on the module path, but it can read all other modules.
The code fragment compares four pairs of strings using the equals() and intern() methods. The equals() method compares the content of two strings, while the intern() method returns a canonical representation of a string, which means that it returns a reference to an existing string with the same content in the string pool. The string pool is a memory area where strings are stored and reused to save space and improve performance. The results of the comparisons are as follows:
s1.equals(s2): This returns true because both s1 and s2 have the same content, “Hello Java 17”.
s1 == s2: This returns false because s1 and s2 are different objects with different references, even though they have the same content. The == operator compares the references of two objects, not their content.
s1.intern() == s2.intern(): This returns true because both s1.intern() and s2.intern() return a reference to the same string object in the string pool, which has the content “Hello Java 17”. The intern() method ensures that there is only one copy of each distinct string value in the string pool.
“Hello Java 17” == s2: This returns false because “Hello Java 17” is a string literal, which is automatically interned and stored in the string pool, while s2 is a string object created with the new operator, which is not interned by default and stored in the heap. Therefore, they have different references and are not equal using the == operator.

Questions 7
Given:
Which action enables the code to compile?
Options:
A.
Replace 15 with item.display (''Flower'');
B.
Replace 2 with static string name;
C.
Replace 7 with public void display (string design) {
The answer is C because the code fragment contains a syntax error in line 7, where the method display is declared without any parameter type. This causes a compilation error, as Java requires the parameter type to be specified for each method parameter. To fix this error, the parameter type should be added before the parameter name, such as string design. This will enable the code to compile and run without any errors. References:
