What is garbage collection?

What is the process that is

responsible for doing that in java? - Reclaiming the unused
memory by the invalid objects. Garbage collector is
responsible for this process
What kind of thread is the Garbage collector thread? - It is a
daemon thread.
What is a daemon thread? - These are the threads hich can
run ithout user intervention. The !"# can e$it hen there
are daemon thread by killing them abruptly.
%o ill you invoke any e$ternal process in !ava? -
Runtime.getRuntime&'.e$ec&(.'
What is the finali)e method do? - *efore the invalid objects
get garbage collected+ the !"# give the user a chance to
clean up some resources before it got garbage collected.
What is mutable object and immutable object? - If a object
value is changeable then e can call it as #utable object.
&,$.+ -tring*uffer+ (' If you are not alloed to change the
value of an object+ it is immutable object. &,$.+ -tring+
Integer+ .loat+ ('
What is the basic difference beteen string and stringbuffer
object? - -tring is an immutable object. -tring*uffer is a
mutable object.
What is the purpose of "oid class? - The "oid class is an
uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to the
/lass object representing the primitive !ava type void.
What is reflection? - Reflection allos programmatic access
to information about the fields+ methods and constructors of
loaded classes+ and the use reflected fields+ methods+ and
constructors to operate on their underlying counterparts on
objects+ ithin security restrictions.
What is the base class for ,rror and ,$ception? - Throable
What is the byte range? -012 to 013
What is the implementation of destroy method in java.. is it
native or java code? - This method is not implemented.
What is a package? - To group set of classes into a single unit
is knon as packaging. 4ackages provides ide namespace
ability.
What are the approaches that you ill follo for making a
program very efficient? - *y avoiding too much of static
methods avoiding the e$cessive and unnecessary use of
synchroni)ed methods -election of related classes based on
the application &meaning synchroni)ed classes for multiuser
and non-synchroni)ed classes for single user' 5sage of
appropriate design patterns 5sing cache methodologies for
remote invocations 6voiding creation of variables ithin a
loop and lot more.
What is a 7atabase#eta7ata? - /omprehensive information
about the database as a hole.
What is 8ocale? - 6 8ocale object represents a specific
geographical+ political+ or cultural region
%o ill you load a specific locale? - 5sing
Resource*undle.get*undle&('9
What is !IT and its use? - Really+ just a very fast compiler(
In this incarnation+ pretty much a one-pass compiler : no
offline computations. -o you can;t look at the hole method+
rank the e$pressions according to hich ones are re-used the
most+ and then generate code. In theory terms+ it;s an on-line
problem.
Is !"# a compiler or an interpreter? - Interpreter
When you think about optimi)ation+ hat is the best ay to
findout the time<memory consuming process? - 5sing
profiler
What is the purpose of assert keyord used in !7=0.>.$? - In
order to validate certain e$pressions. It effectively replaces
the if block and automatically thros the 6ssertion,rror on
failure. This keyord should be used for the critical
arguments. #eaning+ ithout that the method does nothing.
%o ill you get the platform dependent values like line
separator+ path separator+ etc.+ ? - 5sing
-ytem.get4roperty&(' &line.separator+ path.separator+ ('
What is skeleton and stub? hat is the purpose of those? -
-tub is a client side representation of the server+ hich takes
care of communicating ith the remote server. -keleton is
the server side representation. *ut that is no more in use( it
is deprecated long before in !7=.
What is the final keyord denotes? - final keyord denotes
that it is the final implementation for that method or variable
or class. ?ou can;t override that method<variable<class any
more.
What is the significance of 8istIterator? - ?ou can iterate
back and forth.
What is the major difference beteen 8inked8ist and
6rray8ist? - 8inked8ist are meant for se@uential accessing.
6rray8ist are meant for random accessing.
What is nested class? - If all the methods of a inner class is
static then it is a nested class.
What is inner class? - If the methods of the inner class can
only be accessed via the instance of the inner class+ then it is
called inner class.
What is composition? - %olding the reference of the other
class ithin some other class is knon as composition.
What is aggregation? - It is a special type of composition. If
you e$pose all the methods of a composite class and route the
method call to the composite method through its reference+
then it is called aggregation.
What are the methods in Abject? - clone+ e@uals+ ait+
finali)e+ get/lass+ hash/ode+ notify+ notify6ll+ to-tring
/an you instantiate the #ath class? - ?ou can;t instantiate the
math class. 6ll the methods in this class are static. 6nd the
constructor is not public.
What is singleton? - It is one of the design pattern. This falls
in the creational pattern of the design pattern. There ill be
only one instance for that entire !"#. ?ou can achieve this
by having the private constructor in the class. .or eg.+ public
class -ingleton B private static final -ingleton s C ne
-ingleton&'9 private -ingleton&' B D public static -ingleton
getInstance&' B return s9 D << all non static methods ( D
What is 7river#anager? - The basic service to manage set of
!7*/ drivers.
What is /lass.forEame&' does and ho it is useful? - It loads
the class into the /lass8oader. It returns the /lass. 5sing that
you can get the instance & Fclass-instanceG.neInstance&' '.
In@ adds a @uestionH ,$pain the reason for each keyord of
public static void main&-tring argsIJ'
