Q : What is the difference between Java platform and other platforms?
A : The Java platform differs from most other platforms in that it's a software-only platform that runs on top of other hardware-based platforms.
The Java platform has two components:
1. The Java Virtual Machine (Java VM)
2. The Java Application Programming Interface (Java API)
Q : What is Java Virtual Machine?
A : The Java Virtual Machine is a software that can be ported onto the various hardware-based platforms.
Q : What is the package? Define with an example?
A : A package is a grouping of related types providing access protection and name space management. Note that types refers to classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types. Enumerations and annotation types are special kinds of classes and interfaces, respectively, so types are often referred to in this lesson simply as classes and interfaces.
Package is a directory of related classes and interfaces.
Eg: java.lang.*
Here java is a directory,lang stands for language & it is a sub directory, * indicates collection of related classes & interfaces
Q : What is the difference between the interface and abstract class?
A : An abstract class may contain code in method bodies, which is not allowed in an interface. With abstract classes, you have to inherit your class from it and Java does not allow multiple inheritance. On the other hand, you can implement multiple interfaces in your class.
Q : What is the thread?
A : A thread is an independent path of execution in a system.
Q :What is the multi-threading?
A: Multi-threading means various threads that runs in a system.
Q : What is the synchronization ? why is it important in Java Programming?
A : With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control the access of multiple threads to shared resources. Without synchronization, it is an possible for one thread to modify a shared object while another thread is in the process of using or updating that object’s value. This often causes dirty data and leads to significant errors.
Q : What is the purpose of Runtime class in Java Programming?
A :The purpose of Runtime class is to provide access to the Java runtime system in Java Programming.
Q :Describe difference between a static and a non-static inner class in Java Programming?
A non-static inner class may have object instances that are associated with instances of the class’s outer class. A static inner class does not have any other object instances.
Q : Name the primitive Java types?
A : The primitive types are,
byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, and boolean.
Q : What is the casting in Java Programming?
A : There are two types of casting, casting between primitive numeric types and casting between object references.
Casting between numeric types is used to convert larger values, such as double values, to smaller values, such as byte values. Casting between object references is used to refer the object by a compatible class, interface, or array type reference.
Q : What are the Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism?
A : Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code and data it manipulates and keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse.
Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of another object. Polymorphism is the feature that allows one interface to be used for general class actions.
Q : What is the difference between constructor and method?
A : Constructor will be automatically invoked when an object is created where as the method has to be called explicitly.
Q: What is a UNICODE?-
A : A Unicode is used for internal representation of characters and strings and it uses 16 bits to represent each other.
Q : What is a abstract class?
A :A abstract class is a class designed with implementation gaps for subclasses to fill in and is deliberately incomplete.
Q : What is daemon thread ? which the method is used to create the daemon thread?-
A: Daemon thread is a low priority thread which runs intermittently in the back ground doing the garbage collection operation for the java runtime system.
SetDaemon method is used to create a daemon thread.
Q: What are the wrapper classes?
A : The Wrapper classes are classes that allow primitive types to be accessed as objects.
Q : What is the difference between applet and a servlet?
A : Servlets are to servers what applets are to browsers.
Applets must have graphical user interfaces whereas servlets have no graphical user interfaces.
Q :What are the cookies ?
A : Cookies are a mechanism that a servlet uses to have a client hold a small amount of state-information associated with the user.
Q :What is Java Bean?
A : Java Bean is a software component that has been designed to be reusable in a variety of different environments.
