Frequently asked.
  Q301. What is an Iterator?Core Java

 Q303. Does java allow overriding static methods ?Core Java
Ans. No. Static methods belong to the class and not the objects. They belong to the class and hence doesn't fit properly for the polymorphic behavior.

 Q305. Why java doesn't support multiple Inheritence ?Core Java
Ans. class A {
void test() {
System.out.println("test() method");
}
}

class B {
void test() {
System.out.println("test() method");
}
}

Suppose if Java allows multiple inheritance like this,

class C extends A, B {
}

A and B test() methods are inheriting to C class.

So which test() method C class will take? As A & B class test() methods are different , So here we would Facing Ambiguity.

 Q308. How does a try statement determine which catch clause should be used to handle an exception?Core Java
Ans. When an exception is thrown within the body of a try statement, the catch clauses of the try statement are examined in the order in which they appear. The first catch clause that is capable of handling the exception is executed. The remaining catch clauses are ignored.

 Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :   

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     java   exceptions   exception handling   try   catch      basic        frequent


  Q309. Explain static blocks in Java ?Core Java
Ans. A static initialization block is a normal block of code enclosed in braces, { }, and preceded by the static keyword. Here is an example:

static {
// whatever code is needed for initialization goes here
}

A class can have any number of static initialization blocks, and they can appear anywhere in the class body. The runtime system guarantees that static initialization blocks are called in the order that they appear in the source code.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     java   oops   static   static block     Asked in 16 Companies      basic        frequent


 Q310. Explain use of nested or inner classes ?Core Java
Ans. Sometime we just need classes or class objects just to be used as part of a particular class or objects. Making them non nested won't make any difference as far as functionality is concerner but making them Nested provide a level of convenience and protection fro, being used anywhere else. Moreover it helps reducing the Code.

 Q319. What is Scanner class used for ? when was it introduced in Java ?Core Java
Ans. Scanner class introduced in Java 1.5 for reading Data Stream from the imput device. Previously we used to write code to read a input using DataInputStream.

 Q321. What is unicode ?Core Java
Ans. A way of encoding characters as binary numbers. The Unicode character set includes
characters used in many languages, not just English. Unicode is the character set that is
used internally by Java.

 Q322. What is ThreadFactory ?Core Java
Ans. ThreadFactory is an interface that is meant for creating threads instead of explicitly creating threads by calling new Thread(). Its an object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to new Thread, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.

 Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :   

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     java   threads   multi threading   thread factory   thread creation   advanced      expert


 Q323. What is the benefit of inner / nested classes ?Core Java
Ans. You can put related classes together as a single logical group.

Nested classes can access all class members of the enclosing class, which might be useful in certain cases.

Nested classes are sometimes useful for specific purposes. For example, anonymous inner classes are useful for writing simpler event-handling code with AWT/Swing.

 Q324. Explain Inner Classes ?Core Java
Ans. The accessibility (public, protected, etc.) of the inner class is defined by the outer class.

Just like top-level classes, an inner class can extend a class or can implement interfaces.

Similarly, an inner class can be extended by other classes, and an inner interface can be implemented or extended by other classes or interfaces.

An inner class can be declared final or abstract.Inner classes can have inner classes, but you will have a hard time reading or understanding such complex nesting of classes.

 Q325. Explain Method Local Inner Classes ?Core Java
Ans. You can create a non-static local class inside a body of code. Interfaces cannot have local classes, and you cannot create local interfaces.

Local classes are accessible only from the body of the code in which the class is defined. The local classes are completely inaccessible outside the body of the code in which the class is defined.

You can extend a class or implement interfaces while defining a local class.

A local class can access all the variables available in the body of the code in which it is defined. You can pass only final variables to a local inner class.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     java   oops   inner classes   local classes   classes   method local inner classes     Asked in 1 Companies


 Q326. Explain about anonymous inner classes ?Core Java
Ans. Anonymous classes are defined in the new expression itself, so you cannot create multiple objects of an anonymous class.

You cannot explicitly extend a class or explicitly implement interfaces when defining an anonymous class.

An anonymous inner class is always created as part of a statement; don't forget to close the statement after the class definition with a curly brace. This is a rare case in Java, a curly brace followed by a semicolon.

Anonymous inner classes have no name, and their type must be either a subclass of the named type or an implementer of the named interface

 Q327. What is a cloneable interface and what all methods does it contain?Core Java
Ans. Cloneable is a declaration that the class implementing it allows cloning or bitwise copy of it's object state. It is not having any method because it is a MARKER interface.

 Q329. Why is Java considered Portable Language ?Core Java
Ans. Java is a portable-language because without any modification we can use Java byte-code in any platform(which supports Java). So this byte-code is portable and we can use in any other major platforms.

 Q330. Does every class needs to have one non parameterized constructor ?Core Java
Ans. No. Every Class only needs to have one constructor - With parameters or without parameters. Compiler provides a default non parameterized constructor if no constructors is defined.
