Q1196. What will the following code print ?

int x[] = new int[5];
x[0] = 1;
x[1] = 2;

for(int count=0;count<x.length;count++){
System.out.println(x[count]);
}

Core Java

Ans. 1
2
0
0
0

As arrays are not dynamically expanded , we have declared the array for size 10. As we have only initialized only 2 values , it will print rest as their default values.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve arrays}

Q1197. What will the following code print

int x[] = new int[5];
x[0] = 1;
x[1] = 2;

for(int count=0;count<=x.length;count++){
System.out.println(x[count]);
}

Core Java

Ans. 1
2
0
0
0
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException: 5

As array index starts with 0 and ends with the index of (size - 1), the index 5 is inaccessible for the array and hence will throw the exception.

Q1203. Do we have a method to reverse a string in String class ?

Core Java

Ans. No but we have it in StringBuilder.

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve String StringBuilder Reverse a string}

Q1204. How can we convert char into a String ?

Core Java

Ans. We can use StringBuilder. StringBuilder accepts char as the argument for it's constructor.

new StringBuilder('').toString();

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve convert char to String char String}

Q1205. How can we check if a particular character is upper case in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. 1. We can compare the ascii value of the character. Ascii for Capital case character is from 65 to 90.

2. We can compare to see if lowerCase of the character is not equal to character itself.

For example -

if character is 'a' the following code

new StringBuilder(char).toString().toLowerCase().equals(new StringBuilder(char)

will return true and hence char is lower case

if character is 'A' the following code

new StringBuilder(char).toString().toLowerCase().equals(new StringBuilder(char)

will return false and hence char is upper case

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve check upper case character character}

Q1206. How different is it when final applied to variables and object references ?

Core Java

Ans. final when assigned to object references doesn't make them immutable. It means that the references cannot be de-referenced.

final when applied to variables means that the value cannot be changed.

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve final keyword final variable}

Q1207. Why the following code produced this output ?

int x = 5;
int y = x;
y = 10;

System.out.println(x); // prints 5 and not 10

Core Java

Ans. Because when we say y = x, the value of x is copied to another memory location and then y points to that new memory location.

Unlike object references that once assigned point to same object in memory, value is copied in case of variable assignment.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve variable assignment}

Q1208. In which memory segment - heap or stack, the following stored by JVM

1. static members
2. objects
3. object references
4. local or method variables

Core Java

Ans. static members are stored in method area of heap

objects are stored on heap

object references are stored on stack

local or method variables are stored on stack

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve jvm memory management stack heap}

Q1209. How can we convert String into Char array and vice versa ?

Core Java

Ans. There is a method toCharArray() within String class that can be used to convert string to char array.

string.toCharArray();

String class has an argument constructor that takes a char array and create a string

new String(charArray);

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve string char array}

Q1210. How can we convert a character or a character array into a String ?

Core Java

Ans. String has an argument constructor that take char array as argument and creates a string.

There is no constructor available with String that takes in a character and creates a String. We can use StringBuilder which has a char argument constructor.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve character char char array String char to String char array to String}

Q1211. Explain Generics in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. Generics are a facility of generic programming that were added to the Java programming language in 2004 within J2SE5.0. They allow "a type or method to operate on objects of various types while providing compile-time type safety.

Ans. Because of following features

Object Oriented and hence helps build maintainable and easily enhanceable code.
Platform Independence and hence can be executed anywhere
Fast due to JIT compiler

Q1217. Why Java is considered more purer object oriented language than C++ ?

Core Java

Ans. Because of

lack of use of pointers,
Lack of structural programming and
Lack of Multiple Inheritance

Q1218. Does Wrapper classes produces immutable objects ?

Core Java

Ans. Yes

Help us improve. Please let us know the company, where you were asked this question :

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve wrapper classes immutable immutability}

Q1219. Why shouldn't we use string concatenation extensively or in a loop ?

Core Java

Ans. Because String being an immutable object creates a new object upon each concatenation cycle. If there is any such need , we should use String Builder whose objects are mutable.
