 Q901. Explain System.out.println ?Core Java
Ans. System is a class within java.lang package that contains several useful class fields and methods. It cannot be instantiated and hence can use only statically.even in this case this has been used statically i.e with class name itself and without creating an instance.

out is the static reference of Printstream declared as following in the System Class -

public final static PrintStream out = null;

println is the method of PrintStream class.

 Q902. Which is better in terms of performance - Iterator or Spliterator ?Core Java
Ans. Spliterator has better performance potential than iterators but only if the potential is used. Spliterator can iterate streams in parallel as well as in sequence whereas iterator can only iterate in sequence.

 Q903. How Spliterator in Java 8 different than iterator ?Core Java
Ans. Though there are many differences the way internally they both iterates the collections and streams respectively, but the main difference in performance that is achieved by spliterator as it can iterate Streams in Parallel whereas iterator only iterates collections sequentially.

  Q924. What is Polymorphism in Java ?Core Java
Ans. Polymorphism means the condition of occurring in several different forms.

Polymorphism in Java is achieved in two manners

1. Static polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at compile time and is achieved through function overloading whereas

2. Dynamic polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at runtime and is achieved through method overriding.

  Sample Code for overloading

 Q925. What is the use of synchronized keyword ?Core Java
Ans. Synchronize is used to achieve mutual exclusion i.e at one time, the segment of the code, method that has been declared synchronized should be executed by single thread only and hence the lock needs to be retrieved before executing the segment and then released.

 Q926. When does the finally block gets executed ?Core Java
Ans. A finally block of code always executes, whether or not an exception has occurred.The only time finally won't be called is if you call System.exit() or if the JVM crashes first.

 Q927. What is the difference between Collections.emptyList() and creating new instance of List using new ?Core Java
Ans. But Collections.emptyList() returns an Immutable list whereas new arraylist() creates a mutable list.

Advantage of getting an empty list using Collections.emptyList is that it returns a singleton list which can be shared among many references and hence made immutable. This is good fit for situations where we would like to initialize a list to basic minimum empty to avoid null pointer exception.

 Q929. Can we have an inner class within Interface ?Core Java
Ans. Yes, we can define an inner class within interface.Inside the interface, the inner class is implicitly public static.

So the following is legit in Java

public interface BuggyBreadInterface {
   void doSomething();

   public class BuggyBreadClass implements BuggyBreadInterface{
      void doSomething(){
         System.out.println("Do something");
      }
   }
}
