 Q653. What are the benefits of creating immutable objects ?Core Java
Ans. 1. Security and Safety - They can be shared across multiple threads as they are thread safe. Moreover, it protects then from bad state due to interception by the other code segment. One such problem due to mutability and access by alternate code segment could be the change of hash code and then the impact on its search with hash collections.

2. Reuse - In some cases they can be reused as only one copy would exist and hence it can be relied upon. For example - String Pool

 Q658. What will be the output of following code ?

Base Interface

public interface BaseInterface {
   int i = 4;
}

Derived Interfaces

public interface DerivedInterface1 extends BaseInterface{
   int i = 5;
}

public interface DerivedInterface2 extends BaseInterface{
   int i=6;
}

Implementing Class

public class Class implements DerivedInterface1,DerivedInterface2 {
   public static void main(String[] args){
      System.out.println(BaseInterface.i);
   }
}

What will be the output upon executing main and Why ?		Core Java
Ans. It will print 4 because member elements of an interface are implicitly static and hence the concept of overriding doesn't work.
