The API provide the answer to that kind of question, but b is the correct answer.
Please use the API as much as you can...

I selected the b option, But mock exam says Its wrong. Why???

[Valentin Crettaz]

From the API

public void drawRect(int x, int y, int width, int height)
Draws the outline of the specified rectangle.

There must something wrong with your mock test I guess... b is the correct answer.

The answer is b) and d)
drawPoligon will also draw rectangle if you'll give an array of ccordanates of rectangle as an argument.
I answered this question I got right.

Thanks Jamal. I guessed so

Does drawPolygon() still count as a single call though? You have to do a lot of prep-work first, by creating an array, and populating with data, THEN calling drawPolygon() and passing the data. With drawRect() you don't need any other prepatory work, you can make a single call with the data you need in that call.
Or am I splitting hairs here? (being too picky??)
