Explanation: Myexception is self defined exception.

7. What is the output of this program?

1.     class Myexception extends Exception {

2.  int detail;

3.         Myexception(int a) {

4.         detail = a;

5.  }

6.  public String toString() {

7.      return "detail";

8.  }

9.     }

10.     class Output {

11.         static void compute (int a) throws Myexception {

12.       throw new Myexception(a);  

13.  }

14.  public static void main(String args[]) {

15.             try {

16.                 compute(3);

17.             }

18.            catch(DevideByZeroException e) {

19.                System.out.print("Exception");

20.            } 

21.         }

22.     }

a) 3
b) Exception
c) Runtime Error
d) Compilation Error

Answer: c

Explanation: Mexception is self defined exception, we are generating Myexception but catching DevideByZeroException which causes error.

8. What is the output of this program?

1.     class exception_handling {

2.         public static void main(String args[]) {

3.             try {

4.                 throw new NullPointerException ("Hello");

5.                 System.out.print("A");

6.             }

7.             catch(ArithmeticException e) {

8.          System.out.print("B");         

9.             }

10.         }

11.     }

a) A
b) B
c) Compilation Error
d) Runtime Error

Answer: d

Explanation: try block is throwing NullPointerException but the catch block is used to counter Arithmetic Exception. Hence NullPointerException occurs since no catch is there which can handle it, runtime error occurs.

9. What is the output of this program?

1.     class Myexception extends Exception {

2.  int detail;

3.         Myexception(int a) {

4.         detail = a;

5.  }

6.  public String toString() {

7.      return "detail";

8.  }

9.     }

10.     class Output {

11.         static void compute (int a) throws Myexception {

12.       throw new Myexception(a);  

13.  }

14.  public static void main(String args[]) {

15.             try {

16.                 compute(3);

17.             }

18.            catch(Exception e) {

19.                System.out.print("Exception");

20.            } 

21.         }

22.     }

a) 3
b) Exception
c) Runtime Error
d) Compilation Error

Answer: b

Explanation: Myexception is self defined exception.

10. What is the output of this program?

1.     class exception_handling {

2.         public static void main(String args[]) {

3.             try {

4.                 int a = args.length;

6.                 System.out.print(a);

7.                 try {

8.                      if (a == 1)

9.                          a = a / a - a;
