Core Java Interview Questions with Answers -2

16. How does Java handle integer overflows and underflows?

It uses those low order bytes of the result that can fit into the size of the type allowed by the operation. 

 17. What is the Vector class?

The Vector class provides the capability to implement a growable array of objects 

18. What modifiers may be used with an inner class that is a member of an outer class?

A (non-local) inner class may be declared as public, protected, private, static, final, or abstract. 

19. What is an Iterator interface?

The Iterator interface is used to step through the elements of a Collection. 

20. What is the difference between the >> and >>> operators?

The >> operator carries the sign bit when shifting right. The >>> zero-fills bits that have been shifted out. 

21. Which method of the Component class is used to set the position and size of a component?

setBounds() 

22. How many bits are used to represent Unicode, ASCII, UTF-16, and UTF-8 characters?

Unicode requires 16 bits and ASCII require 7 bits. Although the ASCII character set uses only 7 bits, it is usually represented as 8 bits. UTF-8 represents characters using 8, 16, and 18 bit patterns. UTF-16 uses 16-bit and larger bit patterns. 

23What is the difference between yielding and sleeping?

When a task invokes its yield() method, it returns to the ready state. When a task invokes its sleep() method, it returns to the waiting state. 

24. Which java.util classes and interfaces support event handling?

The EventObject class and the EventListener interface support event processing. 

25. Is sizeof a keyword?

The sizeof operator is not a keyword. 

26. What are wrapped classes?

Wrapped classes are classes that allow primitive types to be accessed as objects. 

27. Does garbage collection guarantee that a program will not run out of memory?

Garbage collection does not guarantee that a program will not run out of memory. It is possible for programs to use up memory resources faster than they are garbage collected. It is also possible for programs to create objects that are not subject to garbage collection 

28. What restrictions are placed on the location of a package statement within a source code file?

A package statement must appear as the first line in a source code file (excluding blank lines and comments). 

29. Can an object’s finalize() method be invoked while it is reachable?

An object’s finalize() method cannot be invoked by the garbage collector while the object is still reachable. However, an object’s finalize() method may be invoked by other objects. 

30. What is the immediate superclass of the Applet class?
