Q241. When we say final x = 10, is the reference final or the value ?

Ans. final keyword have meaning only to referenced and not the value. It means that the specified reference cannot be dereferenced. It doesn't control the value assigned to the memory that's being referenced. This is the reason that final object references doesn't mean that the object is immutable but means that the reference cannot be changed to point to new object.

In case of primitive types too, when we assign a reference to another, values are passed and not the object reference, and hence a new placeholder is created in memory with the same value. That is why final to that context means that you cannot change the assigned memory and there is no way we can have that memory place have another value.

Q242. What is the difference between Singleton and Prototype Bean scope in Spring ?

Spring

Ans. Prototype scope - A new object is created each time it is injected/looked up. It will use new SomeClass() each time.

Singleton scope - It is the default scope. The same object is returned each time it is injected/looked up. Here it will instantiate one instance of SomeClass and then return it each time.

Q243. 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.

Q244. 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 )
