Q1861. Why the following code produced this output ?

int x = 5;
int y = x;
y = 10;

System.out.println(x); // prints 5 and not 10

Core Java

Ans. Because when we say y = x, the value of x is copied to another memory location and then y points to that new memory location.

Unlike object references that once assigned point to same object in memory, value is copied in case of variable assignment.

Q1867. How can we convert String into Char array and vice versa ?

Core Java

Ans. There is a method toCharArray() within String class that can be used to convert string to char array.

string.toCharArray();

String class has an argument constructor that takes a char array and create a string

new String(charArray);

Q1868. How can we convert a character or a character array into a String ?

Core Java

Ans. String has an argument constructor that take char array as argument and creates a string.

There is no constructor available with String that takes in a character and creates a String. We can use StringBuilder which has a char argument constructor.

Q1869. Explain Generics in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. Generics are a facility of generic programming that were added to the Java programming language in 2004 within J2SE5.0. They allow "a type or method to operate on objects of various types while providing compile-time type safety.

Q1870. What is ORM or Object Relationship Mapping ?

Database

Ans. ORM is the mapping technique, which maps object with relational data model. As we know that in java we need objects we can not user data in relational(in table form). So ORM is set of guideline which allows us to map relational data model in object form.

Q1880. Why shouldn't we use string concatenation extensively or in a loop ?

Core Java

Ans. Because String being an immutable object creates a new object upon each concatenation cycle. If there is any such need , we should use String Builder whose objects are mutable.
