(3 Questions)

  • Q1. String a = "Something" String b = new String("Something") How many object created?
  • Ans. 

    Two objects created - one in the string pool and one in the heap.

    • String 'a' is created in the string pool, while String 'b' is created in the heap.

    • String pool is a special area in the heap memory where strings are stored to increase reusability and save memory.

    • Using 'new' keyword always creates a new object in the heap, even if the content is the same as an existing string in the pool.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Predict Output based on whether static variables can be accessed from non-static method
  • Ans. 

    Static variables can be accessed from non-static methods using an object reference or by making the variable non-static.
