Q751. Why doesn't this code give compile time error when we are clearly trying to add an integer element to an array of Strings

Object[] strArray = new String[2];
strArray[0] = 5;

Core Java

Ans. Because the reference is of Object Array and the resolution of what it holds is identified at the runtime.

String[] strArray = new String[2];
strArray[0] = 5;

would have given the compile time array as the reference is of String array.

Q754. If arrays cannot be resized , Why is this code valid

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

Core Java

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.

Q765. What is meant by "unreachable code" ? Can you write a code segment explaining this ?

Core Java

Ans. Unreachable code is a code segment that can never be executed in any case. For example -

int x = 5;
return;
System.out.println(x);

In this code , 2nd line will return the control out of the method and hence 3rd line will never get executed and hence is unreachable code. This will be caught at compile time only.

Q776. How is it possible to use concat on string objects in Java, based on the fact that string is immutable?

Core Java

Ans. It's possible because internally java first reserves the memory for the new concatenated string and then copy that over. So after concatenation, there are 2 strings in memory, the original one and the concatenated one and then the reference is moved to the concatenated string.
