Q2992. How many heaps will be there with 3 threads ?

Core Java

Ans. All threads share a common heap.

Each thread has a private stack, which it can quickly add and remove items from. This makes stack based memory fast, but if you use too much stack memory, as occurs in infinite recursion, you will get a stack overflow.

Q2996. Explain CloneNotSupportedException ?

Core Java

Ans. If we do not mention, Cloneable Interface to the Class which we want to Clone then we get this exception, only if we try to clone an object

Like:
public class TestClone{
@Override
   protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
      return super.clone();
   }
}

In Main, You try to do:
TestClone clone = new TestClone();

      TestClone clone2 = (TestClone) clone.clone();

You will get CloneNotSupportedException.

Just add -> public class TestClone implements Cloneable {

and things are fixed.

Q3002. Difference between equals and compareTo in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality. x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal.

The compareTo() method is used for comparing two objects in Java. It is usually defined for the classes whose objects needs to be ordered through Comparable interface or need to be part of an ordered collection like TreeSet or TreeMap.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve equals compareTo equals vs compareTo}

Q3003. Difference between equals and hashcode in java ?

Core Java

Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality. x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal with the equality defined by the definition of equals method.

Hashcode is used for bucketing in Hash implementations like HashMap, HashTable, HashSet etc. The value received from hashcode() is used as bucket number for storing elements. This bucket number is the address of the element inside the set/map. when you do contains() then it will take the hashcode of the element, then look for the bucket where hashcode points to and if more than 1 element is found in the same bucket (multiple objects can have the same hashcode) then it uses the equals() method to evaluate if object are equal, and then decide if contain() is true or false, or decide if element could be added in the set or not.

Q3004. Difference between equals and equalsignorecase in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. "equals" method is the method of object class that needs to be overridden to check object equality. This is not specific to any class like String.

equalsignorecase is the method of String class that provides a definition that ignores the case of characters during comparison.

The only difference between them in String class is that the equals() methods considers the case while equalsIgnoreCase() methods ignores the case during comparison.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve equals equalsignorecase equals vs equalsignorecase}

Q3005. Why is String a class in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. 1. Creating a class helps in specifying operations on the Strings like length , sub string , concatenation etc.

2. It acts as a Wrapper class for "Array of Characters" and hence facilitates it's usage in collections, assignment to null.

3. Immutability of String objects facilitates in reuse , security and caching.

Q3010. What is the difference between Encapsulation and encryption ?

Networking

Ans. Encapsulation is the process of wrapping the data with another layer to be transported across the network with the source and destination details on just like the analogy of wrapping letter in envelope with the source and destination details on the envelope. Encryption on the other hand is the process of hashing text or transforming the data in a form that is not readable except you have access to the key use to decrypt it.

Q3015. difference between ArrayList and array ?

Core Java

Ans. ArrayList is a variable length collection class whereas arrays are fixed length primitive structure.

We can use generics with arraylist but not with arrays.

We can store primitive data types within arrays but can't with ArrayList. In ArrayList that needs to be converted to Wrapper objects.
