Q4. WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPOSITION AND AGGREGATION ?
Ans. 
Composition is a strong relationship where the child object cannot exist independently of the parent object, while aggregation is a weak relationship where the child object can exist independently.
• Composition is a 'has-a' relationship, where the child object is a part of the parent object.

• Aggregation is a 'has-a' relationship, where the child object is not a part of the parent object.

• In composition, the child object is...read more

Q5. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPARABLE AND COMPARATOR.
Ans. 
Comparable is an interface used for natural ordering of objects, while Comparator is an interface used for custom ordering of objects.
• Comparable interface is implemented by the class whose objects are to be compared, while Comparator interface is implemented by a separate class.

• Comparable interface has a single method compareTo() for comparing objects, while Comparator interface has a single method compare() for custom...read more

Q6. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HASHMAP AND CONCURRENTHASH MAP
Ans. 
HashMap is not thread-safe while ConcurrentHashMap is thread-safe.
• HashMap is not thread-safe and can lead to ConcurrentModificationException if modified during iteration.

• ConcurrentHashMap allows concurrent read and write operations without the need for external synchronization.

• ConcurrentHashMap achieves thread-safety by dividing the map into segments, allowing multiple threads to operate on different segments concurren...read more

Q7. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLLECTION AND STREAM
Ans. 
Collections store data while streams process data in a functional way.
• Collections are used to store and manage groups of objects, while streams are used to process collections of objects.

• Collections are mutable, meaning you can add, remove, or modify elements, while streams are immutable and do not change the original data.

• Streams use functional programming concepts like map, filter, and reduce to process data efficien...read more
