Q2. Explain Public Static Void Main (String Args ) in Java.: JDK JRE JVM

The document compares JDK, JRE, and JVM. JDK is the Java Development Kit and contains tools needed to compile, document, and package Java programs. It includes the JRE. JRE is the Java Runtime Environment that executes Java bytecode. JVM is the Java Virtual Machine, which is an abstract machine that provides a runtime environment for executing Java bytecode.

Q2. Explain public static void main(String args[]) in Java.

main() in Java is the entry point for any Java program. It is always written
as public static void main(String[] args).

 public: Public is an access modifier, which is used to specify who can access this
method. Public means that this Method will be accessible by any Class.
 static: It is a keyword in java which identifies it is class-based. main() is made static
in Java so that it can be accessed without creating the instance of a Class. In case,
main is not made static then the compiler will throw an error as main() is called by
the JVM before any objects are made and only static methods can be directly
invoked via the class. 
 void: It is the return type of the method. Void defines the method which will not return
any value.
 main: It is the name of the method which is searched by JVM as a starting point for
an application with a particular signature only. It is the method where the main
execution occurs.
 String args[]: It is the parameter passed to the main method.

Q3. Why Java is platform independent?

Java is called platform independent because of its byte codes which can run on any
system irrespective of its underlying operating system.

Q4. Why Java is not 100% Object-oriented?

Java is not 100% Object-oriented because it makes use of eight primitive data types
such as boolean, byte, char, int, float, double, long, short which are not objects.

Q5. What are wrapper classes in Java?


Wrapper classes convert the Java primitives into the reference types (objects). Every
primitive data type has a class dedicated to it. These are known as wrapper classes
because they “wrap” the primitive data type into an object of that class. Refer to the
below image which displays different primitive type, wrapper class and constructor
argument.

Q6. What are constructors in Java?

In Java, constructor refers to a block of code which is used to initialize an object. It


must have the same name as that of the class. Also, it has no return type and it is
automatically called when an object is created.

There are two types of constructors:

1. Default Constructor: In Java, a default constructor is the one which does not take
any inputs. In other words, default constructors are the no argument constructors
which will be created by default in case you no other constructor is defined by the
user. Its main purpose is to initialize the instance variables with the default values.
Also, it is majorly used for object creation. 
2. Parameterized Constructor: The parameterized constructor in Java, is the
constructor which is capable of initializing the instance variables with the provided
values. In other words, the constructors which take the arguments are called
parameterized constructors.

Q7. What is singleton class in Java and how can we make a class
singleton?

Singleton class is a class whose only one instance can be created at any given time,
in one JVM. A class can be made singleton by making its constructor private.

Q8. What is the difference between Array list and vector in Java?

ArrayList Vector

Array List is not synchronized.  Vector is synchronized.

Array List is fast as it’s non-synchronized. Vector is slow as it is thread safe.

If an element is inserted into the Array List, it


Vector defaults to doubling size of its array.
increases its Array size by 50%.

Array List does not define the increment size. Vector defines the increment size.

Array List can only use Iterator for traversing Vector can use both Enumeration and Iterator for
an Array List. traversing.
