Java OCA OCP Practice Question 3208

Question

Consider this program:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;

// Use SimpleDateFormat for creating custom date and time formats as a "pattern string"
public class Main {
     public static void main(String []args) {
         String pattern = "EEEE";
         SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern, Locale.US);
         Date today = new Date();
         System.out.println(formatter.format(today));
      }/*from  w  ww .j a  v a  2s  . c  o  m*/
}

Which of the following is the most likely output (i.e., the output that would match with the string pattern EEEE given in this code segment)?

  • A) F
  • B) Friday
  • C) Sept
  • D) September


B)

Note

E is the day name in the week; the pattern EEEE prints the name of the day in its full format.

Fri is a short form which would be printed by the pattern E, but EEEE will print the day of the week in full form, i.e., Friday.

Since the locale is us Locale.

US, it will print in English.

Sept or September is impossible since E refers to the name in the week, not in a month.
