mySet.add(111);
for(Integer d: mySet){
System.out.println(d);
}
}
}
Core Java
Ans. 1

 Q406. In majority of the situations it won't make much sense whether you append this with the instance method call.Can you tell a situation wherein this keyword would make sense in a instance method ? Core Java
Ans. Within instance method of the parent class that has other multiple methods that have been overridden by the derived classes.

In such case a simple method call from the common method will always be made to the method definition in the parent class. But If we use this.methodCall , this will be polymorphic and will be made to the respective derived object overriding method.

 Q407. Why is null == null returns true ?Core Java
Ans. Any reference in java that doesn't point to any object , gets assigned null i.e is a reference to null. Two object references in java are treated equal if they point to the same memory. That's Why null == null results true.

 Q412. What is classpath in a project?Core Java
Ans. ClassPath is the path where Java looks for class files to resolve the dependencies. For example - If you are using a class "xyz" in your code and have specified the respective import, Where should Java look for the definition of xyz. Java determines using the class path settings.

 Q413. Why is a constant defined as a static final in Java?Core Java
Ans. Final makes sure that the value doesn't change after initialization and static makes sure that there is only one copy that can be shared across objects.

Making it non static will unnecessarily create a different copy per object wherein the same value will kept for all copies ( as its final and cannot be changed ).

 Q415. Will this code compile ?

public class BuggyBread1{
abstract public void test();
}
Core Java
Ans. No. It will give the compilation error saying "The abstract method test in type BuggyBread1 can only be defined by an abstract class".

We need to declare the class abstract for it to have any abstract method.

Rarely asked as it was introduced with Java 8.
 Q419. Difference between DoubleSummaryStatistics , IntSummaryStatistics and LongSummaryStatistics ?Core Java
Ans. They all does the same task i.e to compute statistical information on the stream of data. They differ by the way they store the statistical information as they expect a different data type of the values being used.

IntSummaryStatistics and LongSummaryStatistics expect non floating point values and hence stores the statistical information like min,max and sum as non floating values ( int or long ) whereas DoubleSummaryStatistics stores these information as floating value.

 Q422. What are the advantages and disadvantages of CopyOnWriteArrayList ?Core Java

 Q430. In which cases isn't instanceof operator a bad practice?Core Java
Ans. To avoid ClassCastException.

Though the following code will compile fine but will result in ClassCastException during runtime.

Fruit fruit = new Apple();
Banana banana = Banana(fruit); // ClassCastException


This code will not give compile time error as Banana and Fruit are related as Banana either extends or implement Fruit, So downcasting is acceptable. With this code we assume that the Fruit handler will have the Apple object at that point, violating which the code will throw the exception.

This exception can be avoided by following code.

Fruit fruit = new Apple();
if(fruit instanceOf Banana){
Banana banana = Banana(fruit); // ClassCastException
}
