objectOutputStream.writeObject(buggybread1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Core Java
Ans. Though we are trying to serialize BuggyBread1 object but we haven't declared the class to implement Serializable.

This will throw java.io.NotSerializableException upon execution.

 Q70. What is CopyOnWriteArrayList ?
Ans. Its a type of ArrayList in which all Write operations , i.e add and set are performed by creating a new copy. This array never changes during the lifetime of the iterator, so it never throws ConcurrentModificationException

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     java   collections   list   arraylist   copyonwritearraylist   ConcurrentModificationException     Asked in 1 Companies


 Q71. What are the advantages and disadvantages of CopyOnWriteArrayList ?Core Java
Ans. This collections class has been implemented in such a manner that it can never throw ConcurrentModificationException. As it performs update and write operations by creating a new copy of ArrayList, It's slower compared to ArrayList.

 Q75. 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
}
