Core Java - Interview Questions and Answers for 'Immutability objects' - 8 question(s) found - Order By Newest

 Q1. Does Declaring an object "final" makes it immutable ?Core Java
Ans. Only declaring variables as final makes them immutable. Making objects final means that the object handler cannot be used to target some other object but the object is still mutable.

 Q2. What are stateless objects ? How are they different from immutable objects ? Which of these two is thread safe ?Object Oriented Programming
Ans. Stateless objects are the objects without instance fields (instance variables). The class may have compile time constants i.e static final fields.Immutable objects are the objects which have state but the state cannot be changed after initialization. Both are Thread safe.

 Q3. What are advantages of stateless and / or immutable objects ?Object Oriented Programming
Ans. They can be shared across multiple threads as they are thread safe.

 Q4. What are the benefits of creating immutable objects ?Core Java
Ans. 1. Security and Safety - They can be shared across multiple threads as they are thread safe. Moreover, it protects then from bad state due to interception by the other code segment. One such problem due to mutability and access by alternate code segment could be the change of hash code and then the impact on its search with hash collections.

2. Reuse - In some cases they can be reused as only one copy would exist and hence it can be relied upon. For example - String Pool

 Q6. What are the drawbacks of creating immutable objects ? Why don't we create all object immutable if mutability possesses so much threat ? Core Java
Ans. Immutable objects relieves us from the problems of inconsistencies and security and helps with better read performance but at the same time are write performance and storage overheads. In case any modification is required , a new object is created and thus creating multiple copies of it.

This is the reason we use StringBuffer / StringBuilder when we have to append some text multiple times and then create a String out of it.

 Q7. Does immutability facilitates better performance ?Core Java
Ans. Yes , but only the read performance in case we don't need to modify it much. In case we need to modify it a lot , it creates write performance overheads as we would need to create many news objects instead of just changing one.
