Q:

In the following pieces of code, B and D will compile without any error. True or false ?

A: StringBuffer sb1 = "abcd";

B: Boolean b = new Boolean("abcd");

C: byte b = 255;

D: int x = 0x1234;

E: float fl = 1.2;

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) TRUE

Explanation:

The code segments B and D will compile without any error. A is not a valid way to construct a StringBuffer, you need to create a StringBuffer object using "new". B is a valid construction of a Boolean (any string other than "true" or "false" to the Boolean constructor will result in a Boolean with a value of "false"). C will fail to compile because the valid range for a byte is -128 to +127 (i.e., 8 bits, signed). D is correct, 0x1234 is the hexadecimal representation in java. E fails to compile because the compiler interprets 1.2 as a double being assigned to a float (down-casting), which is not valid. You either need an explicit cast, as in "(float)1.2" or "1.2f", to indicate a float.

Q:

Why are CPM, GERT, and PERT not considered sufficient to create a project schedule?

A) All three are tools and techniques of schedule development, not the actual schedule B) As mathemetical analysis tools, they simply provide the dates that are posible, and do not consider resource pool limitations
C) They are sufficient. Each calculates early and late start and finish dates for each activity D) They are Monte Carlo techniques used to provide what-if analysis for adverse external factors on a project
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) As mathemetical analysis tools, they simply provide the dates that are posible, and do not consider resource pool limitations

Explanation:

Answer A is tempting because it is true by definition, but Answer B is correct because it properly answers the question, in that these techniques do not take into account resource pool constraints. Answer C is incorrect because it provides possible early and late start and finish dates, but not the actual schedules. Answer D is incorrect because none of the the three are simulation techniques.

Q:

You create an ASP.NET application to provide corporate news and information to XYZ’s employees. The application is used by employees in New Zealand.


Default.aspx has a Web Form label control named currentDateLabel. The Page.Load event handler for Default.aspx included the following line of code:
currentDateLabel.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(“D”)


You need to ensure that the data is displayed correctly for employees in New Zealand. What should you do?

A) In the Web.config file for the application, set the culture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ. B) In the Web.config file for the application, set the uiCulture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ.
C) In Visual Studio .NET, set the responseEncoding attribute in the page directive for Default.aspx to UTF-8. D) In Visual Studio .NET, save the Default.aspx page for both versions of the application by selecting Advanced Save Options from the File menu and selecting UTF-8.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) In the Web.config file for the application, set the culture attribute of the globalization element to en-NZ.

Explanation:

The culture attribute of the globalization element specifies the default culture for processing incoming Web requests.

 

Incorrect Answers:

 

B: The uiculture attribute of the globalization specifies the default culture for processing locale dependent resource searches. It does not apply in this scenario.

 

C, D: The UTF8Encoding Class class encodes Unicode characters using UCS Transformation Format, 8-bit form (UTF-8). This encoding supports all Unicode character values and surrogates. However, it does not help in displaying data in New Zealand format.
