Can constructors be marked final, abstract or static in Java?
Except public, protected and, private constructor does not allow any other modifier. When you use a final keyword with a method or constructor it cannot be overridden. But, a constructor in Java cannot be overridden therefore, there is no need of using the final keyword with the constructor. Since you cannot override a constructor you cannot provide body to it if it is made abstract. Therefore, you cannot use abstract keyword with the constructor. If you want to invoke a member of a class before instantiating the class you need to use static before it. But, contractors are called ...
Read MoreWhat does abstract modifier in Java do?
An abstract keyword is used to declare methods abstract methods and abstract classes. Once a method is declared abstract we should not specify body for those. Example public abstract class Sample{ public abstract demo(){ } } Error Sample.java:2: error: invalid method declaration; return type required public abstract demo(){ ^ 1 error And once a class is declared abstract it cannot be instantiated. Example public abstract class Sample{ public abstract void demo(); public static void main(String args[]){ new Sample(); } } Error C:\Sample>javac Sample.java Sample.java:4: error: Sample is abstract; cannot be instantiated new Sample(); ^ 1 error
Read MoreCan a constructor be overridden in java?
If super class and sub class have same methods including name, return type and parameters, and if you try to call it using the object of the sub class Then the method in the sub class is invoked. Constructor looks like method but it is not. It does not have a return type and its name is same as the class name. But, a constructor cannot be overridden. If you try to write a super class’s constructor in the sub class compiler treats it as a method and expects a return type and generates a compile time error. Example ...
Read MoreCan access modifiers be used for local variables in Java?
Yes, a local variable can be public, private, protected or default.
Read MoreHow many ways a String object can be created in java?
You can create a String by − Step 1 − Assigning a string value wrapped in " " to a String type variable. String message = "Hello Welcome to Tutorialspoint"; Step 2 − Creating an object of the String class using the new keyword by passing the string value as a parameter of its constructor. String message = new String ("Hello Welcome to Tutorialspoint"); Step 3 − Passing a character array to the String constructor. char arr[] = {'H','e','l','l','o'}; String message = new String(arr);
Read MoreWhat is the difference between a String object and a String literal in Java?
When the String literal used to create String, JVM initially checks weather String with the same value in the String constant pool, if available it creates another reference to it else it creates a new object and stores it in the String constant pool.In case of an object, each time you instantiate the class a new object is created given value irrespective of the contents of the String constant pool.
Read MoreCan interfaces have constructors in Java?
No, interfaces can’t have constructors for the following reasons − All the members of an interface are abstract, and since a constructor cannot be abstract. Still, if you try to write a constructor within an interface it will generate a compile time error. Example public interface InterfaceTest { InterfaceTest(){ } public abstract void display(); public abstract void show(); } Error C:\Sample>javac InterfaceTest.java InterfaceTest.java:2: error: expected public InterfaceTest(){ ^ 1 error
Read MoreCan constructors be inherited in Java?
No, constructors cannot be inherited in Java. In inheritance sub class inherits the members of a super class except constructors. In other words, constructors cannot be inherited in Java therefore, there is no need to write final before constructors. Example public interface InterfaceTest { public InterfaceTest(){ } public abstract void display(); public abstract void show(); } Still, if you try to write constructors in an interface it will generate a compile time error. Error C:\Sample>javac InterfaceTest.java InterfaceTest.java:2: error: expected InterfaceTest(){ ^ 1 error C:\Sample>
Read MoreWhat is the difference between a String object and a StringBuffer object in java?
String class is immutable once you create an object of string you can modify its data.The StringBuffer class is immutable, once you create a StringBuffer object you can change/modify the contents of it.This class provides various methods to manipulate its data such as append(), delete(), insert() etc.
Read MoreHow many public classes of the same name it can have in Java?
A Java file contains only one public class with a particular name. If you create another class with same name it will be a duplicate class. Still if you try to create such class then the compiler will generate a compile time error. Example public class Example { } public class Example{ public void sample(){ System.out.println("sample method of the Example class"); } public void demo(){ System.out.println("demo method of the Example class"); } ...
