A native method is the one whose method implementation is done in other languages like c++ and Java. These programs are linked to Java using JNI or JNA interfaces. The difference between normal method and native method is That the native method declaration contains native keyword and, the implementation of the method will be other programming language. Example Tester.java public class Tester { public native int getValue(int i); public static void main(String[] args) { System.loadLibrary("Tester"); System.out.println(new Tester().getValue(2)); ...

An abstract method is the one which has no definition and declared abstract. In short, an abstract method contains only method signature without body. To use this method, you need to inherit this method by extending the class and provide the method definition. Example public abstract class Employee{ private String name; private String address; private int number; public abstract double computePay(); }

The Callable interface is found in the package java.util.concurrent. The Callable object can return the computed result done by a thread in contrast to a runnable interface which can only run the thread. The Callable object returns a Future object which provides methods to monitor the progress of a task being executed by a thread. The future object can be used to check the status of a Callable and then retrieve the result from the Callable once the thread is done. It also provides timeout functionality.

Unlike many other programming languages including C and C++, when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather into platform-independent byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and interpreted by the Virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run on. Thus when you write a piece of Java code in a particular platform and generated an executable code .class file. You can execute/run this .class file on any system the only condition is that the target system should have JVM (JRE) installed in it. In short, Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral ...
