  (Covered under Language Fundamentals - Array Initialization)
  
  
• Declare classes, inner classes, methods, instance variables, static variables, and automatic (method local) variables making appropriate use of all permitted modifiers (such as public, final, static, abstract, and so forth). State the significance of each of these modifiers both singly and in combination, and state the effect of package relationships on declared items qualified by these modifiers.
  
  
• For a given class, determine if a default constructor will be created, and if so, state the prototype of that constructor.
  (Covered under Language Fundamentals - Constructors)
  
  
• State the legal return types for any method given the declarations of all related methods in this or parent class.
