Q462. How ConcurrentHashMap provides better performance compared to HashTable ?

Core Java

Ans. ConcurrentHashMap uses multiple buckets to store Data and hence avoid read locks which facilitates better performance.

Q463. What is the use of Object class ?

Core Java

Ans. 1. Default definition for some of the methods , like equals, hashcode etc that gets carried to all objects even if you don't define anything. But that default definition is kind of like assigning 0 to integer, it just provide a safe state , nothing much for comparison.

2. Places where you have no idea about what object you may receive and just want to perform out of 8 basic methods of object class, something like printing their string representation ( defined by their toString method ), or equality ( using their equals method )

Q465. What are the benefits of immutability or Immutable classes ?

Core Java

Ans. Immutable objects are thread-safe so you will not have any synchronization issues.Immutable objects are good for Map keys and Set elements, since these typically do not change once created.Immutability makes it easier to write, use and reason about the code (class invariant is established once and then unchanged)Immutability makes it easier to parallelize your program as there are no conflicts among objects.The internal state of your program will be consistent even if you have exceptions.References to immutable objects can be cached as they are not going to change.

Q470. Do we have Integer constant pool of primitive int or Integer objects ?

Core Java

Ans. It's of Integer objects and not primitive int.

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve integer constant pool}

Q471. 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.

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

Q472. What is the difference between uninitialized values for primitive types and Wrapper classes ?

Core Java

Ans. When we create reference for primitive type, it's memory is allocated. So even if we don't assign any value to it, the default value is initialized.

int x; // default value 0 initialized

But for object references, it's different as references hold nothing till an object is assigned.

Object obj; // contains null

So all primitive types when declared , contains their respective default values on the basis of their type whereas all wrapper class References contains null irrespective of their types.

Q473. 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}

Q474. What are the benefits of using Wrapper classes over primitive types ?

Core Java

Ans. With Collection classes , we cannot use primitive types. Moreover for any class using generic types, we cannot use primitive types.

They add more functionality by means of additional methods.

As their reference can be null , they offer consistent check for uninitialized state.

They facilitate caching and reuse by means of constant Pools.

Q475. Write a Program to print fibonacci series using recursion.

Core Java

Ans. public class FibonacciUsingRecursion {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
      getNextFibanocci(1,1);
   }

   static int getNextFibanocci(int a,int b){
      if(a+b >= 100){
         return 0;
      } else {
         System.out.println(a+b);
         getNextFibanocci(b,a+b);

Q478. 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.
