Ans. Latency is the delay incurred while communicating a message i.e the time took the message in transit over network.
processing time is the delay it took for the server to process the request.
Response time is the sum total of latency and processing time.
For example -
Let's say it takes 1 ms for the request to reach from client to server and similar 1 ms for the response to come back to client. Moreover it takes approx 10 ms for the application to process the request. So The response time would be outward latency + processing time + inward latency = 12 ms

Ans. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or EC2 provides scalable computing capacity in the AWS cloud. It can be used to create Virtual Environments , storage and configure. EC2 enables to upgrade or downgrade infrastructure according to the rules defined ( with fluctuation in latency, traffic etc )

Ans. Population of Manhattan is roughly 2 millions. Nearly same number of people come to Manhattan daily for work. So if whole of Manhattan comprise of only residential and commercial buildings, that makes up 1/3rd residential and 2/3rd commercial. I have lived in a house in a high rise building in downtown and the average size of the house is 1 bedroom with 2 windows and on average 2 people live in a house. So that makes up roughly 1.33 million windows in Residential buildings. At commercial buildings, windows per capita is much lower as more people share the space and roughly it comes down to 1 window for 10 people. So that makes up .266 millions windows in commercial establishments.
So in total there are roughly 1.6 million windows in Manhattan.

Ans. There is no specific order in which database fires the triggers if they are for the same operation. If we need to have a specific order for their execution, we should have them all in a stored procedure and the procedure should get executed upon the event.

Ans. Though var args are used rarely but they are pretty useful if a method is expected to receive variable number of arguments. For example - it's pretty useful for the main method as the caller has the flexibility to provide arguments in infinite ways.It provides a convenience and flexibility to the caller.

Ans. Yes, it will give compilation error and java will complain about duplicate method. Java treat var args internally as arrays and hence would result in same byte code for both method's syntax.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
but we shouldn't ideally do that as errors are mostly JVM based and not application based and there is rarely we can do something about it. Very likely catching and not re throwing would lead to muting their response or trace.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Optional is to be used for arguments / atrributes which are indeed optional i.e the request should continue even if they aren't provided. It should not be used for mandatory attributes or arguments as we would like application to shout out ( with error message / exception trace ) to signify a problem.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. No. Because java internally treats var args as arrays and hence both method declarations will generate the same byte code and hence would result in ambiguity while determining call binding.
Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :
Ans. Var args is the feature of Java that allows a method to have variable number of arguments. Var args are used when we are not sure about the number of arguments a method may need. Internally java treats them as array.
