I have made a class and a method to fetch the data from Excel thru JDBC:ODBC and it is working fine. When I want to get data from another class I am getting an Exception like

Please tell me how to set precesion of a number(double). Say I have a number 9.123456 and I want to set it to 9.12. Is there any readymade method available or I have to write a new method for that.
Thanks.

Sure. I rerfered only 2 books. First book was "Java 2 The complete reference" by Naughton & Schildt and Another was "Programmer's guide for Java Certification" by Khalid Mughal. Read the Khalid Mughal book atleast 3 times. Its a really good book for exam purpose. After that take as many mock exams as you can. These exams really help you develope the concepts. I took more than 2000 Que from mock exams. Particularly JQ+ exam is really good.
Don't forget to visit the Javaranch discussion forum daily. it will help a lot.

Hi Dilshad
The answer to your question is "GridbagLayout"
The reason being - Assuming you are adding the text area at the top of the layout. So only Gridbag layout gives you the flexibility to adjust the vertical as well as horizontal space by its "weightx" and "weighty" constraints.
So the answer is definitely "GridbagLayout".

I thanks all the friends for helping me to pass the exam with 93% marks. My special thanks to Javaranchers, Khalid Mughal and JQ+ team.

I think Static variables are not serialised. Actually serialisation is done on the objects and static variable does't belong to Object, they belong to the class. So they are not serialised. Khalid Mughal book also says so( see page 588).

Hi Luk
By the "toString" method, two objects are created which are different , so the answer is FALSE.
If you replace '==' by 'equals' then answer is true, because String class overrides the equals methods and compare the contents of String objects.
Hope this clarifies.

Dear Suneel
Can you tell me why infinite loop is formed. I think ans should be 42. We are passing x = 4 in the method.

Hi friends
Is it correct that String objects created by using the string literals ( as shown below ) are not garbage collected.
String s = "XYZ";

Sahshank ir right. The output is "truenull".

As far as I know - true, false and null are not keywords, they are reserved words. For all practical purposes they are treated as keywords but actually they are reserved words.
Now the question comes - what is the difference?
Well can some one answer that.
