Ans. Polymorphism means the condition of occurring in several different forms. Polymorphism in Java is achieved in two manners 1. Static polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at compile time and is achieved through function overloading whereas 2. Dynamic polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at runtime and is achieved through method overriding. | ||||

Ans. For objects or references, == operator check if the reference on left and right points to the same object. For primitive types or variables, == operator check if the variable on left and right holds the same value. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  ==  object equality  operator Basic | ||||
| ||||
Ans. = is the assignment operator that assigns the result of the expression on the right to the variable on the left, whereas == is the operator to check object equality to see if the reference on left and right are pointing to the same object. For primitive types, its used to check if both variables holds the same value. | ||||

Ans. GET is supposed to get information from the server. Client sends the minimal information so that Server can respond with the response body on basis of request. For example - You want to get complete employment record for employee id 123 POST is supposed to send the information for submission.

For example - Sending the complete information of an employee ( id, name , dept etc ) to the server for persisting it. | ||||

Ans. When a DML is executed, the changes only stays in session and still not pushed to DB Tables, Commit is used to push those changes to the Tables. In case we realize that we don't want to commit those changes and would like to ignore them, we can use rollback. For example - You may like that for a banking transaction you would like to update the account balance only if the debit or credit record was correctly inserted, so you may like to encapsulate both DML's - insert for transaction and update for balance in a single transaction and would only commit if both succeeds else rollback. | ||||

| ||||
Ans. Declaration is intimation to the compiler about the nature of Data a reference is going to hold. For example - List myList; Instantiation is reservation of memory. For example myList = new ArrayList(); Initialization or construction is setting the default values for member elements. For example myList = new ArrayList(mySet); ** Example 2nd is both for instantiation as well as initialization. The only difference is that 2nd will initialized the member elements to their default values whereas 3rd will initialized it with the elements from set. | ||||
