Q1211. Explain Generics in 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.

Q1216. Why is Java such an important Programming language ?

Core Java

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

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

_{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.

Q1220. What do we mean by a Data Type ?

Core Java

Ans. if you have similar type of data or objects or entities, then we can give them a type with unique name. And this name will be our Data type.

Q1221. In the following code, which text will get printed immediately after Hello

for(int countx=0;countx<10;count++){
System.out.println("World");
for(int countx=0;countx<10;count++){
System.out.println("Friend");
for(int countx=0;countx<10;count++){
System.out.println("Hello");

Q1222. Which of the two - iteration or recursion - is slower ?

Core Java

Ans. Any function call is slower than the code in the same method as Java has to maintain stack of meta and function call information. So recursion is slower.

Q1231. What are the advantage of Abstract classes over interfaces with respect to Java 7 ? and What changed in Java 8 to help facilitate that in Java 8 ?

Core Java

Ans. Abstract Classes provide default implementations of methods that are inherited by the classes that extend them, which was not the case for Interfaces. This changed in Java 8, where default implementations are provided for methods.

   }

   static int getNextFibanocci(int a,int b){
      if(a+b >= 100){

Q1235. Can we use primitive types with Collection classes ?

Core Java

Ans. No, As collection classes involve use of Generics, they cannot accept primitive types.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve collection classes collections}

Q1236. Is immutability an advantage with Wrapper classes over primitive types ?

Core Java

Ans. There is no concept of de referencing with primitive types and hence they are implicitly immutable. Having wrapper classes as mutable offers disadvantages compared to primitive types. Wrapper classes being immutable offer similar advantage as primitive types.It actually overshadows the disadvantage wrapper class could have if they are immutable.
