(If I missed the following during a search on this forum, my apologies in advance...)
On K&B CD Exam (Sun Certified...II), here's a question on arrays:

The answer I chose was "Runtime Exception", since a1[1][0] will give you a NullPointerException. The LearnKey answer, however, said that there was compilation error at line 6.
This one seemed easy, but I ran the code anyway to be sure (using Sun JDK 1.4.1), and got the NullPointerException, as expected.
I believe's there's an error in the answer key for this one... can anyone confirm (or point to a forum on this that I missed)?
Thanks

Yes. Exam II keeps insisting compilation error... and I keep insisting it's a runtime exception. Bert's master copy is correct, CD copy is not. Hmph.

Ack. That same question appears twice in Exam II. My answer of runtime exception was scored as incorrect both times.

Mine too.. But I manually added 1 question as correct one, instead of incorrect
