Q1016. Why is it important to close files and streams ?

Core Java

Ans. Optimizing Resource utilization. When you open a file using any programming language , that is actually a request to operating system to access the file. When such a request is made , resources are allocated by the OS. When you gracefully close those files, those resources are set free.

In Java if you don’t close the streams and files, Garbage collection identifies the open files which have lost the reference and hence will close them.

Q1037. Why Java doesn't provide a default constructor if we define an argument constructor ?

Core Java

Ans. Java provides a default constructor ( no argument ) if no constructor is provided by the programmer. Java makes a check during pre compilation if there is any constructor provided by the programmer. If any constructor is provided, Java understands that programmer has provided all the mechanism for initialization and construction of the object and may not even intend to create objects by calling a no argument constructor. For example - One may like to have objects created with self defined state otherwise restrict its creation.

We make the constructor private if we want to make a class singleton as we would like to restrict creation of new objects using new operator and default constructor. Similar could be the situation wherein we would like to construct objects in a particular manner only.

Q1038. What are Util Classes ? What are its advantages ?

Core Java

Ans. Classes having only static methods in java is called util classes. As they don't have specific object state, they are basically intend to have shared code and state through static elements and methods. They save resources by sharing code.
