Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. If arrays cannot be resized , Why is this code valid

String[] strArray = new String[2];
strArray = new String[5];

Ans. We are not resizing the first array here but assigning the reference strArray to a new Array with size 5.

So after line 2, We have 2 arrays in memory, one with size 2 and other with size 5 with strArray referring to second array with size 5.
