b)It can extend exactly one class and can implement multiple interfaces.
c)It can extend exactly one class or implement exactly one interface.
d)It can implement multiple interfaces regardless of whether it also extends a class.

Answer: C
Explanation: Option C is correct because the syntax of an anonymous inner class
allows for only one named type after the new, and that type must be either a single
interface (in which case the anonymous class implements that one interface) or a
single class (in which case the anonymous class extends that one class).
63 Which is true about a method-local inner class? U 1
a)It must be marked final.
b)It can be marked abstract.
c)It can be marked public.
d)It can be marked static.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:Option B is correct because a method-local inner class can be abstract,
although it means a subclass of the inner class must be created if the abstract class is
to be used (so an abstract method-local inner class is probably not useful).

64 Which statement is true about a static nested class? A 1

a)You must have a reference to an instance of the enclosing class in order to
instantiate it.
b)It does not have access to nonstatic members of the enclosing class.
c)It's variables and methods must be static.
d)It must extend the enclosing class.

Answer: b
Explanation:Option b) is correct because a static nested class is not tied to an instance
of the enclosing class, and thus can't access the nonstatic members of the class (just as
a static method can't access nonstatic members of a class).
65 Which constructs an anonymous inner class instance? U 1
a)Runnable r = new Runnable() { };
 b)Runnable r = new Runnable(public void run() { });
c)Runnable r = new Runnable { public void run(){}};
d)System.out.println(new Runnable() {public void run() { }});

Answer: d
Explanation:d is correct. It defines an anonymous inner class instance, which also
means it creates an instance of that new anonymous class at the same time. The
anonymous class is an implementer of the Runnable interface, so it must override
the run() method of Runnable.
