(4 Questions)

  • Q1. Why is Java a platform independent language?
  • Ans. 

    Java is platform independent due to its bytecode and JVM implementation.

    • Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

    • JVM acts as an interpreter, translating bytecode into machine code specific to the underlying platform

    • This allows Java programs to be written once and run anywhere, without the need for recompilation

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What are Static Binding and Dynamic Binding?
  • Ans. 

    Static binding is resolved at compile time, while dynamic binding is resolved at runtime.

    • Static binding is also known as early binding, where the method call is resolved at compile time based on the type of the object.

    • Dynamic binding is also known as late binding, where the method call is resolved at runtime based on the actual type of the object.

    • Example of static binding: method overloading.

    • Example of dynamic binding:

  • Q3. Explain Virtual Machine (JVM) architecture.
  • Ans. 

    JVM is a virtual machine that enables a computer to run Java programs.

    • JVM is platform-independent and converts Java bytecode into machine code.

    • It consists of class loader, runtime data areas, execution engine, and native method interface.

    • JVM manages memory, garbage collection, and exception handling.

    • Examples of JVM implementations include Oracle HotSpot, OpenJ9, and GraalVM.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is the lambda expression in JAVA?
  • Ans. 

    Lambda expression in JAVA is a concise way to represent a method implementation using a functional interface.

    • Lambda expressions are used to provide a more concise way to implement functional interfaces in JAVA.

    • They are similar to anonymous classes but with less boilerplate code.

    • Lambda expressions can be used to pass behavior as an argument to a method.

    • Syntax: (parameters) -> expression or (parameters) -> { statements;
