 Q1201. How can be restrict creation of more than n objects in Java ?Core Java
Ans. We can follow the same design which we follow in singleton Classes. We can have a static counter that will keep the count of number of objects already created, We can keep the constructor private and being called through the static method. We can keep incrementing the counter before calling the constructor and put a check to call only if it's lesser than n.

 Q1216. Is there a way to know size of an object in Java ?Core Java
Ans. No, Java doesn't have a sizeOf operator. In C / C++ , its required to determine how much memory allocation is required which is not the case with Java. Java handles memory allocation and deallocation intrinsically.

 Q1217. Can we declare static variables as transient ?Core Java
Ans. It's weird that compiler doesn't complain if we declare transient with static variable because it makes no sense. At least a warning message saying "transient is useless in this situation" would have helped with code cleaning.

Static variables are never serialized and transient is an indication that the specified variable shouldn't be serialized so its kind of double enforcement not to serialize.

It could be that as it makes no different to the variable behavior and hence using both keywords with a variable are permitted.

 Q1218. Which elements of a class are ignored during serialization ?Core Java
Ans. 1. Objects are serialized and not classes and hence Static variables are ignored.

2. Transient is an explicit declaration to ignore the variable during serialization and hence transient instance variables are ignored too.

3. Base class instance variables if the base class hasn't been declared serializable.

 Q1220. Is it a good practice to use Asterick(*) in import statement to load multiple packages with single import statement ?Core Java
Ans. No, we should be lean in loading only packages which are required. Loading packages which are not being used result in memory overheads.

 Q1221. Does importing a package imports all its sub packages too ?Core Java

 Q1222. Can we have multiple main methods in a single class ?Core Java
Ans. We can overload the main method by specifying different argument types. For example -

2 main methods with different arguments is perfectly legal

public static void main();
public static void main(String[] args);

The following are not legal as compiler will complain of duplicate methods

public static void main(String[] args);
public static void main(String[] args);

Even The following are not legal as we cannot overload on return types

public static String main(String[] args);
public static void main(String[] args);

 Q1223. Can an application have multiple main methods within different classes ? If yes, How will the app decide which one to be executed ?Core Java
Ans. Yes we can have a main method with string[] argument in every class of an application. When we execute an app we specify the starting point i.e the class that will get the control first and hence main method of that class gets executed.
