 Q1081. What does String intern() method do?Core Java
Ans. intern() method keeps the string in an internal cache that is usually not garbage collected.

Moreover provide reference for scp object for corresponding string object present in heap memory.

 Q1082. Will the following program display ""Buggy Bread"" ?

class Test{
   static void display(){
      System.out.println(""Buggy Bread"");
   }
}

class Demo{
   public static void main(String... args){
      Test t = null;
      t.display();
   }
}		Core Java
Ans.  Yes. static method is not accessed by the instance of class. Either you call it by the class name or the reference.

 Q1083. How substring() method of String class create memory leaks?Core Java
Ans. substring method would build a new String object keeping a reference to the whole char array, to avoid copying it. Hence you can inadvertently keep a reference to a very big character array with just a one character string.

  Q1084. Write a program to reverse a string iteratively and recursively ?Core Java
Ans. Using String method -

new StringBuffer(str).reverse().toString();

Iterative -

public static String getReverseString(String str){
StringBuffer strBuffer = new StringBuffer(str.length);
for(int counter=str.length -1 ; counter>=0;counter--){
strBuffer.append(str.charAt(counter));
}
return strBuffer;
}

Recursive -

public static String getReverseString(String str){
if(str.length <= 1){
return str;
}
return (getReverseString(str.subString(1)) + str.charAt(0);
}

 Q1085. If you have access to a function that returns a random integer from one to five, write another function which returns a random integer from one to seven.Core Java
Ans. We can do that by pulling binary representation using 3 bits ( random(2) ).

getRandom7() {
   String binaryStr = String.valuesOf(random(2))+String.valuesOf(random(2))+String.valuesOf(random(2));
   binaryInt = Integer.valueOf(binaryStr);
   int sumValue=0;
   int multiple = 1;
   while(binaryInt > 0){
      binaryDigit = binaryInt%10;
      binaryInt = binaryInt /10;
      sumValue = sumValue + (binaryDigit * multiple);
      multiple = multiple * 2;
   }
}

 Q1086. Write a method to convert binary to a number ?Core Java
Ans.
convert(int binaryInt) {
   int sumValue=0;
   int multiple = 1;
   while(binaryInt > 0){
      binaryDigit = binaryInt%10;
      binaryInt = binaryInt /10;
      sumValue = sumValue + (binaryDigit * multiple);
      multiple = multiple * 2;
   }
   return sumValue;

Ans. public static void main(String ar[])
{
int n=5;
if((n/2)*2==n)
{
System.out.println("Even Number ");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Odd Number ");

Frequently asked.
 Q1089. If you are given a choice to use either ArrayList and LinkedList, Which one would you use and Why ?Core Java
Ans. ArrayList are implemented in memory as arrays and hence allows fast retrieval through indices but are costly if new elements are to be inserted in between other elements. LinkedList allows for constant-time insertions or removals using iterators, but only sequential access of elements

1. Retrieval - If Elements are to be retrieved sequentially only, Linked List is preferred.

2. Insertion - If new Elements are to be inserted in between other elements , Linked List is preferred.

3. Search - Binary Search and other optimized way of searching is not possible on Linked List.

4. Sorting - Initial sorting could be pain but lateral addition of elements in a sorted list is good with linked list.

5. Adding Elements - If sufficiently large elements needs to be added very frequently ,Linked List is preferable as elements don't need consecutive memory location.

 Q1091. What will be the output of following Code ?

class BuggyBread {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String s2 = "I am unique!";
      String s5 = "I am unique!";

      System.out.println(s2 == s5);
   }
}		Core Java
Ans. true, due to String Pool, both will point to a same String object.

 Q1092. What will be the output of following code ?
class BuggyBread2 {       
   private static int counter = 0;     
   void BuggyBread2() {        
      counter = 5;    
   }     
   
   BuggyBread2(int x){
      counter = x;    
   }        

   public static void main(String[] args) {        
      BuggyBread2 bg = new BuggyBread2();        
      System.out.println(counter);    
   } 
}		Core Java
Ans.  Compile time error as it won't find the constructor matching BuggyBread2(). 
Compiler won't provide default no argument constructor as programmer has already defined one constructor. 
Compiler will treat user defined BuggyBread2() as a method, as return type ( void ) has been specified for that.
