Practice Questions

Q1. Which option correctly combines a blockchain property with an advantage of an Integrated Development Environment?

A A blockchain stores only source code files, and an IDE is used only for drawing flowcharts
B A blockchain links validated blocks cryptographically, and an IDE integrates editing, running, and debugging tools Correct
C A blockchain is a single-user spreadsheet, and an IDE removes the need to debug programs
D A blockchain requires a central database administrator, and an IDE is a replacement for all programming languages

Explanation

A blockchain is tested as a distributed ledger concept: transactions are grouped into blocks and linked in a tamper-evident way. An Integrated Development Environment is tested separately as a productivity tool because it combines editor support, build or run actions, and debugging assistance in one workspace.

Q2. In Java, a class declaration uses the keyword implements with an interface name. What is the main implication of this declaration?

A The class is allowed to skip every method mentioned in the interface.
B The class promises to provide the behavior specified by the interface contract. Correct
C The source file can be executed without compilation.
D The interface automatically becomes the only superclass of the class.

Explanation

A Java interface is a contract for behavior. When a class declares that it implements an interface, the compiler expects the class to supply the methods required by that interface unless the class itself is abstract.

Q3. In Java, which keyword is used in a class declaration to inherit from another class?

A extends Correct
B imports
C implements
D inherits

Explanation

Java uses the keyword extends when a class is declared as a subclass of another class. For example, a declaration such as class Child extends Parent establishes that Child inherits accessible members from Parent.

Q4. In a basic C program, which header file is normally included when the program uses printf() and scanf() for standard input and output?

A <stdio.h> Correct
B <math.h>
C <stdlib.h>
D <string.h>

Explanation

In C, printf() and scanf() are standard library functions associated with formatted output and input. Their declarations are supplied through <stdio.h>, so including this header allows the compiler to check calls to these functions properly.

Q5. In C programming, a variable declared as static inside a function is used to count how many times that function has been called. Which statement correctly describes such a variable?

A It becomes visible to every source file of the program.
B It retains its stored value between successive calls of the same function. Correct
C It is re-created and initialized every time the function is entered.
D It must be stored only in CPU registers.

Explanation

A static local variable in C differs from an ordinary local variable mainly in storage duration. Its name is usable only within the block where it is declared, but the object is not destroyed when the function call ends. Therefore it is suitable for preserving a counter across repeated calls of the function.
