 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
}

 Q431. Difference between Scanner and BufferedReader ? Which one is faster and Why ?Core Java
Ans. Scanner is used for parsing tokens from the contents of the stream while BufferedReader just reads the stream.

BufferedReader read files efficiently by using a buffer to avoid physical disk operations.

Buffer size of Scanner is usually smaller than the Buffered Writer.

BufferedReader is faster that Scanner as it just reads the Stream and doesn't Parse the tokens to read the stream into primitive data types.

  Sample Code for Scanner

 Q438. How many elements will be there in TreeSet after the last line and Why ?

TreeSet set = new TreeSet();
set .add(new String("abc"));
set .add(new String("abc"));
Core Java
Ans. One.

As we haven't specified the type of TreeSet, it being evaluated with the first element insertion. Once it's identified that it's of type String and as no comparator has been defined, the comparison is done using the String compareTo method. String compareTo method compares the elements by the content / value.
