Explain what a NullPointerException is and how it can arise.

Answer:  A NullPointerException is an exception that indicates that an operation was attempted on some object that is equal to null.  For instance, ChessPiece c; declares c to refer to a ChessPiece, but c has not yet been instantiated, so any message passed to c at this point will cause a NullPointerException.
