Based upon the code below, what is true about the Frame constructed:

5. p1.add(b);
6. add(p1);
7. }

a) The push button is located in the center of the Frame and will expand to all sides.

6. p1.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));
7. p1.add(a);
8. p1.add(b);
9. add(p1);
10. }

a) Two push buttons are added. Each is half the size of the entire Frame vertically and the entire width, with a above b.

b) Two push buttons are added. Each is half the width of the Frame and the entire length vertically, with a above b.

c) Two push buttons are added, each just larger than the size of the label and located in the center of the Frame.

1 a,b,c
2,3,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,11,12 ,13 ,15 ,16 ,19 , 20 --correct
8 b,c
9 a,d
10 a,b
14 c,d
17 b,e
18 a,c
21 a,c,d
rest after some time.........

i think the answer to question8 should be a,b and also answers for questions 26 to 30 are correct.iam not sure about the layout questions though.

Hey,
could you give me the url for the IBM mock test?
thanks
ravee.

PLEASE POST ONLY ONE QUESTION PER POST. Thanks

24 is A, not D!!! it is assumed that the add() is the same as this.add(), and the class is a subclass of a Frame, as the question says

i am fairly new to java.i think your answer for q.no 4 is wrong.it may be both
A&C

Vaasu, welcome to JavaRanch. We're pleased to have you with us, but please DontWakeTheZombies. This question was asked 8 years ago; it's fair to assume that nobody is still waiting for an answer.
