Order of catch blocks in a try block in Java

• Specific catch blocks should come before general catch blocks

• If general catch block comes before specific catch block, it will result in a compile-time error

• If multiple catch blocks are present, only the first matching catch block will be executed

The task is to distribute candies to students based on their performance while minimizing the total candies distributed.

• Create an array to store the minimum candies required for each student.

• Iterate through the students' ratings array to determine the minimum candies needed based on the given criteria.

• Consider the ratings of adjacent students to decide the number of candies to distribute.

• Calculate the total candies required by summing up the values in the array.

Code for connecting a Java application to a database

• Import the JDBC driver for the specific database

• Create a connection object using the DriverManager class

• Create a statement object to execute SQL queries

• Execute the query and retrieve the results

• Close the connection and release resources

Private keyword restricts access to member functions within the class while final keyword prevents overriding of functions.

• Private keyword is used to hide the implementation details of a class from the user.

• Final keyword is used to prevent the user from overriding a function in a subclass.

• Using private and final keywords together can ensure that the implementation details of a class are not modified by the user.

Garbage collection is an automatic memory management process that frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use.

• Garbage collection is used in programming languages like Java, C#, and Python.

• It helps prevent memory leaks and reduces the risk of crashes due to memory exhaustion.

• Garbage collection works by identifying objects that are no longer in use and freeing up the memory they occupy.

• There are different algorithms for garbage collection, such as mark-and-swe...read more

finally is a keyword used in try-catch block, finalize is a method in Object class, and final is a keyword used for declaring constants.

• finally is used to execute a block of code after try-catch block

• finalize is called by garbage collector before destroying an object

• final is used to declare a constant variable or to make a class uninheritable

Abstract class is a class with some implementation while Interface is a contract with no implementation.

• Abstract class can have constructors while Interface cannot

• Abstract class can have non-abstract methods while Interface cannot

• A class can implement multiple interfaces but can only inherit from one abstract class

• Abstract class is used when there is a need for common functionality among related classes while Interface is used when there is a need for unrelated classes to imp...read more

Different methods to identify an object using eggplant

DDL is used to define the structure of database objects, while DML is used to manipulate data within those objects.

• DDL includes commands like CREATE, ALTER, DROP to define database objects like tables, indexes, etc.

• DML includes commands like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE to manipulate data within tables.

• Example of DDL: CREATE TABLE employees (id INT, name VARCHAR(50));

• Example of DML: INSERT INTO employees VALUES (1, 'John Doe');

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight data interchange format.

• JSON is used to transmit data between a server and a web application, as an alternative to XML.

• It is easy to read and write for humans and easy to parse and generate for machines.

• JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C family of languages.

• Example: {"name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}

Eggplant can read/write data using its built-in scripting language SenseTalk.

• Use the 'put' command to write data to a file or variable.

• Use the 'read' command to read data from a file or variable.

• Eggplant also supports reading/writing data to databases and spreadsheets.

• Example: put "Hello World" into myVariable; read myVariable

• Example: put "123" into file "myFile.txt"; read file "myFile.txt"

Inheritance types in Java

• Java supports single and multiple inheritance through classes and interfaces respectively

• Single inheritance is when a class extends only one parent class

• Multiple inheritance is when a class implements multiple interfaces

• Java also supports hierarchical inheritance where multiple classes extend a single parent class

• Java does not support multiple inheritance through classes to avoid the diamond problem

Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a new class is created by inheriting properties of an existing class.

• Inheritance allows code reuse and promotes code organization.

• The existing class is called the parent or superclass, and the new class is called the child or subclass.

• The child class inherits all the properties and methods of the parent class and can also add its own unique properties and methods.

• Inheritance can be single, multiple, or multilevel...read more

An interface defines a set of methods that a class must implement.

• An interface is declared using the 'interface' keyword.

• All methods in an interface are public and abstract by default.

• A class can implement multiple interfaces.

• Interfaces can also extend other interfaces.

• Example: public interface MyInterface { void myMethod(); }
