   // Default constructor
   public Demo(int a, String b)
   {
      this.a = a;
      this.b = b;
   }

}

class Test
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Demo object = new Demo(1, "geeksforgeeks");
      String filename = "file.ser";

      // Serialization
      try
      {
         //Saving of object in a file
         FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(filename);
         ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(file);

         // Method for serialization of object
         out.writeObject(object);

         out.close();
         file.close();

         System.out.println("Object has been serialized");

      }

      catch(IOException ex)
      {
         System.out.println("IOException is caught");
      }

      Demo object1 = null;

      // Deserialization
      try
      {
         // Reading the object from a file
         FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(filename);
         ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(file);

         // Method for deserialization of object
         object1 = (Demo)in.readObject();

         in.close();
         file.close();

         System.out.println("Object has been deserialized ");
         System.out.println("a = " object1.a);
         System.out.println("b = " object1.b);
      }

      catch(IOException ex)
      {

Q932. What are the drawbacks of creating immutable objects ? Why don't we create all object immutable if mutability possesses so much threat ?

Core Java

Ans. Immutable objects relieves us from the problems of inconsistencies and security and helps with better read performance but at the same time are write performance and storage overheads. In case any modification is required , a new object is created and thus creating multiple copies of it.

This is the reason we use StringBuffer / StringBuilder when we have to append some text multiple times and then create a String out of it.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve immutable immutability objects immutability}

Q933. Does immutability facilitates better performance ?

Core Java

Ans. Yes , but only the read performance in case we don't need to modify it much. In case we need to modify it a lot , it creates write performance overheads as we would need to create many news objects instead of just changing one.

Q935. Write a program to rotate array elements clockwise.

Core Java

Ans. class Rotate{

{
for (int i = 0; i < d; i )
leftRotatebyOne(arr, n);
}

void leftRotatebyOne(int arr[], int n)
{
int i, temp;
temp = arr[0];
for (i = 0; i < n - 1; i )
arr[i] = arr[i 1];
arr[i] = temp;
}

void printArray(int arr[], int n)
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i )
System.out.print(arr[i] " ");
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Rotate rotate = new Rotate();
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
rotate.leftRotate(arr, 2, 7);
