 Q3. What will be the output of following code ?

Base Interface

public interface BaseInterface {
   int i = 4;

Derived Interfaces

public interface DerivedInterface1 extends BaseInterface{
   int i = 5;
}

public interface DerivedInterface2 extends BaseInterface{
   int i=6;
}

Implementing Class

public class Class implements DerivedInterface1,DerivedInterface2 {
   public static void main(String[] args){
      System.out.println(BaseInterface.i);
   }
}

What will be the output upon executing main and Why ?		Core Java
Ans. It will print 4 because member elements of an interface are implicitly static and hence the concept of overriding doesn't work.

  Q7. Difference between == and .equals() ?Core Java
Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality, whereas "==" operator evaluate to see if the object handlers on the left and right are pointing to the same object in memory.

x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal. x==y means that the references x and y have same object.

Sample code:

String x = new String("str");
String y = new String("str");

System.out.println(x == y); // prints false
System.out.println(x.equals(y)); // prints true

  Sample Code for equals

  Q8. Describe, in general, how java's garbage collector works ?Core Java
Ans. The Java runtime environment deletes objects when it determines that they are no longer being used. This process is known as garbage collection. The Java runtime environment supports a garbage collector that periodically frees the memory used by objects that are no longer needed. The Java garbage collector is a mark-sweep garbage collector that scans Java dynamic memory areas for objects, marking those that are referenced. After all possible paths to objects are investigated, those objects that are not marked (i.e. are not referenced) are known to be garbage and are collected.

  Q10. What is the difference between final, finally and finalize() ?Core Java
Ans. final - constant variable, objects cannot be de-referenced, restricting method overriding, restricting class sub classing.

finally - handles exception. The finally block is optional and provides a mechanism to clean up regardless of what happens within the try block. Use the finally block to close files or to release other system resources like database connections, statements etc.

finalize() - method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state.
