  • Ans. 

    Singleton is a design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a single object.

    • Commonly used in scenarios where a single instance needs to coordinate actions across the system.

    • Example: Database connection manager, logger, configuration manager.

    • Use enum to create immutable objects

    • Use String class to create immutable strings

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Where have you used immutable in java
  • Q9. What is dependency injection
  • Ans. 

    Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows objects to receive dependencies rather than creating them internally.

    • It helps to decouple the code and makes it more testable and maintainable.

    • It allows for easier swapping of dependencies without changing the code.

    • There are three types of dependency injection: constructor injection, setter injection, and interface injection.

    • Example: Instead of creating a database co...

  • Q10. What is CORS
  • Ans. 

    CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. It is a security feature implemented in web browsers to restrict access to resources from different origins.

  • Ans. 

    CORS can be overcome by configuring the server to allow cross-origin requests.
