1. import java.net.*;
2. class networking {
3. public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
4. InetAddress obj1 = InetAddress.getByName("sanfoundary.com");

6. boolean x = obj1.equals(obj2);
7. System.out.print(x);
8. }
9. }
a) 0
b) 1
c) true
d) false
Answer: c
Output:
$ javac networking.java
$ java networking
true
4. InetAddress obj1 = InetAddress.getByName("cisco.com");

c) true
d) false
Answer: d
Explanation: InetAddress obj1 = InetAddress.getByName(“cisco.com”); creates object obj1 having DNS

and IP address of cisco.com, InetAddress obj2 = InetAddress.getByName(“sanfoundry.com”); creates
obj2 having DNS and IP address of sanfoundry.com , since both these address point to two different
locations false is returned by obj1.equals(obj2);.

b) B
c) AB
d) BA
Answer:a
Explanation: The inner try block does not have a catch which can tackle
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException hence finally is executed which prints ‘A’ the outer try block does have
catch for ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException exception but no such exception occurs in it hence its catch
is never executed and only ‘A’ is printed.
Output:
3. try {
4. int a = args.length;
5. int b = 10 / a;
6. System.out.print(a);
7. try {
8. if (a == 1)

a) TypeA
b) TypeB
d) Runtime Error
Note: Execution command line: $ java exception_handling one two
Answer: c
Explanation: try without catch or finally
Output:
