Like Discuss Correct / Improve  immutability  immutable  immutability classes   immutable  immutability collections Asked in 3 Companies | ||||
| ||||
Ans. There is no concept of de referencing with primitive types and hence they are implicitly immutable. Having wrapper classes as mutable offers disadvantages compared to primitive types. Wrapper classes being immutable offer similar advantage as primitive types.It actually overshadows the disadvantage wrapper class could have if they are immutable. | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  immutable  immutability classes  wrapper classes | ||||
| ||||
Ans. No, As collection classes involve use of Generics, they cannot accept primitive types. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  collection classes  collections | ||||
| ||||
Ans. With Collection classes , we cannot use primitive types. Moreover for any class using generic types, we cannot use primitive types. They add more functionality by means of additional methods. As their reference can be null , they offer consistent check for uninitialized state. They facilitate caching and reuse by means of constant Pools. | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  Threads  Thread class  runnable interface | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Abstract Classes provide default implementations of methods that are inherited by the classes that extend them, which was not the case for Interfaces. This changed in Java 8, where default implementations are provided for methods. | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  inner classes  nested classes  sub class Basic | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Yes that can be done public class OuterClass { public class InnerClass extends OuterClass { } } | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  inner classes  nested classes  sub class Basic | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Inner Class is a class that is nested within another class whereas sub class is a class that extends or inherit another class. Inner class can only be accessed using reference of outer class ( Class name , if inner class is static or object reference, if inner class is non static ) whereas Sub class is accessed directly. In terms of memory, inner class is stored just like another class having it's own body whereas sub class carries the body of parent class as well as it's own fields in memory. | ||||

| ||||
Ans. OOPs or Object Oriented Programming is a Programming model which is organized around Objects instead of processes. Instead of a process calling series of processes, this model stresses on communication between objects. Objects that all self sustained, provide security by encapsulating it's members and providing abstracted interfaces over the functions it performs. OOP's facilitate the following features 1. Inheritance for Code Reuse 2. Abstraction for modularity, maintenance and agility 3. Encapsulation for security and protection 4. Polymorphism for flexibility and interfacing | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  oops  oops features Asked in 260 Companies basic   frequent | ||||
| ||||
Ans. By encapsulating it within another class and declaring it private. In such a case, it will only be accessible through parent class or parent class object. | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  private class   private inner class  class hiding  encapsulation  object oriented programming (oops)  oops concepts  inner classes   nested classes | ||||
| ||||
Ans. We can declare an inner class as private and hence would be restricting it's access from outside. We cannot make outer class as private. | ||||

Ans. Boxing conversion converts expressions of primitive type to corresponding expressions of reference type. For example boolean to Boolean long to Long double to Double | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  data type  boxing  wrapper classes | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Though var args are used rarely but they are pretty useful if a method is expected to receive variable number of arguments. For example - it's pretty useful for the main method as the caller has the flexibility to provide arguments in infinite ways.It provides a convenience and flexibility to the caller. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. First expects the argument as a string array whereas second expects variable number of string arguments or a string array. So we can call both by providing string array as an argument but second can be called with 0 to n string arguments which cannot be done for first. for example - We can call second method with any of following method(); method("Hello"); method("Hello","World"); method(new String[4]); | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. It won't work as java won't find the method definition for method with 2 arguments. We can either declare the method as private static void method(String arg,String arg2) or private static void method(String... arg) | ||||

Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Yes, it will give compilation error and java will complain about duplicate method. Java treat var args internally as arrays and hence would result in same byte code for both method's syntax. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. It will compile fine and the method call will bind to method with specific argument and not with var arg i.e private static void method(String arg) It will print "Hello" upon execution | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. This will compile fine as we can provide 0 arguments for a var arg but will print nothing upon execution. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. No, It will compile and execute perfectly fine. As we are using method with var args , we can call it with 0 to n arguments. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  method declarations  functions | ||||
| ||||
Ans. No. Because java internally treats var args as arrays and hence both method declarations will generate the same byte code and hence would result in ambiguity while determining call binding. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  functions   method declaration  scjp  ocjp | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Because var args are not only allowed with the last argument in the method declaration. | ||||

Ans. 1st is a valid and standard declaration. 2nd results in compilation error as only 2 dots are there. 3rd results in compilation error as three dots are not consecutive and broken. 4 through 6 may not be standard and ideal way of declarations but they are valid and will compile and work fine. 7 is valid declaration. 8 and 9 will result in compilation error as var args can only be provided to last argument. | ||||
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question : | ||||
Like Discuss Correct / Improve  var args  methods  functions   method declaration  scjp  ocjp | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Var args is the feature of Java that allows a method to have variable number of arguments. Var args are used when we are not sure about the number of arguments a method may need. Internally java treats them as array. Declarations of methods with var args void method(int... x){}; void method(int x, int... y){}; | ||||
