 Q75. What are the features of encapsulation ?Core Java
Ans. Combine the data of our application and its manipulation at one place.

Encapsulation Allow the state of an object to be accessed and modified through behaviors.

Reduce the coupling of modules and increase the cohesion inside them.

 Q76. Difference between new operator and Class.forName().newInstance() ?
Ans. new operator is used to statically create an instance of object. newInstance() is used to create an object dynamically ( like if the class name needs to be picked from configuration file ). If you know what class needs to be initialized , new is the optimized way of instantiating Class.

 Q77. What are the considerations to be made in case of loops in Java ?Core Java
Ans. 1. It shouldn't result in infinite loop. Please make sure that you have a condition that will terminate the loop and that condition should be reached.

2. Make sure to use the break statement if you aspire to only look for something. Not using break will unnecessarily execute it till the end of for loop in some cases.

3. Similarly use continue to execute the loop with next iteration and bypass the rest of the code block if required.

4. Try to avoid multiple nesting of for loops. If it''s required, Make sure to use break and continue properly so as to avoid some unnecessary processing.

5. Make sure to use try catch within the loop and not outside the for loop if you expect it to continue if one of the iteration fails.

 Q78. How is Abstraction implemented in Java ?Core Java
Ans. Abstraction is provided in Java by following ways -

Coding to the ( Interfaces / Abstract Classes ) or contracts

By Encapsulating details within classes and exposing the minimal Door ( few public methods )

 Q81. If everything is an object , Cant we declare every object as

Object obj = new String();
Core Java
Ans. Yes, we can do that. Compiler wont complain. But using object reference we can only access methods which have been defined for object class i.e clone(), equals(), hashCode(), toString() etc.

We cannot access methods defined in String class or in any class in hierarchy between String and Object.

For example - we cannot do obj.append("abc") as it will now give compile time error.

 Q82. What is the difference between for and foreach loop in java ? Which one should be used in which cases ?

Core Java
Ans. 1. for loop in java is used with a counter as following

for(int counter=0;counter < 50;counter++){
System.out.println(list.get(counter));
}

for iterating and printing the contents of a collection

whereas foreach loop can be specified directly without the use of counter

for(String str:list){
System.out.println(list.get(counter));
}

2. for Each loop syntax is more clean if we have to iterate over the elements of a collection and we need not keep track of the record count

3. For is preferred when we need loops without the usage of collections or Array of objects and entirely primitives are being used

4. for loop is preferred if we need to keep track of record count and have to perform some action of the basis of that. For example - If we have to print something after every 5 records, With for each loop in such case, we will have to keep a separate counter.

 Q83. How does java identifies which method to be called in method overriding or runtime polymorphism, when both methods share the same name and signature ? Core Java
Ans. Java identifies the method to be called at runtime by the object that is being referenced.

 Q84. What is abstraction ?Design

 Q86. Does use of Final class enforces composition over Inheritance in Java ? Core Java
Ans. Yes, to a certain extent. But the objective for Final class could be beyond just enforcing composition as certain classes might have been created without inheritance or composition in mind.

 Q87. What could be the reasons for restricting inheritance using final class ?Core Java
Ans. 1. Enforcing composition over inheritance
2. Restricting overriding of certain methods
3. Final methods are faster than regular instance methods
4. Enforcing Immutability

 Q88. What is cyclic instantiation ? Have you ever faced any problem due to this ?OOP
Ans. Cyclic instantiation in OOPs may happen if Class A loading results in Class B Loading , and then Class B Loading results in Class C loading and then Class C has a static reference to Class A and hence results in cyclic instantiation or loading.

 Q89. Why cannot we initialize a final field within the constructor if the initialization is within try block ?Core Java
Ans. What if the initialization throws an exception. In that case , it will let it move forward without initializing the final field. So it's a way to enforce that either the field is initialized or it fails completely.
