The exception handling feature is present almost any object oriented languages nowadays. In C++ and Java also we can get this kind of feature. There are some similarities between exception handling in C++ and exception handling in Java, like in both languages we have to use the try-catch block. Though there are some difficulties also. These are like below −In C++, we can throw any type of data as exception. Any type of data means primitive datatypes and pointers also. In Java we can only throw the throwable objects. Subclasses of any throwable class will also be throwable.Example#include using ...

In Java, it is possible to define a class inside another class, such classes are called Nested classes. We can use the access modifiers like private, public, protected or default for inner classes and default or public access modifiers for outer class.There are two types of nested classes are defined in Java.Static Nested ClassNon-Static Nested ClassStatic Nested ClassWe Can define an inner class as static, so such type of classes is called a static nested class.The nested class is defined with the static keyword, so this type of nested classes doesn’t share any relationship with the instance of an outer class.A static ...

Immutable objects are those objects whose states cannot be changed once initialized. Sometimes it is necessary to make an immutable class as per the requirement. For example, All primitive wrapper classes (Integer, Byte, Long, Float, Double, Character, Boolean and Short) are immutable in Java. String class is also an immutable class.To create a custom immutable class we have to do the following stepsDeclare the class as final so it can’t be extended.Make all fields private so that direct access is not allowed.Do not provide setter methods (methods that modify fields) for variables, so that it can not be set.Make all mutable ...

No, we cannot write any statements in between try, catch and finally blocks and these blocks form one unit.  The functionality of try keyword is to identify an exception object and catch that exception object and transfer the control along with the identified exception object to the catch block by suspending the execution of the try block. The functionality of the catch block is to receive the exception class object that has been sent by the try and catch that exception class object and assigns that exception class object to the reference of the corresponding exception class defined in the catch block. The finally blocks are ...

Static blockThe static blocks are executed at the time of class loading.The static blocks are executed before running the main () method.The static blocks don't have any name in its prototype.If we want any logic that needs to be executed at the time of class loading that logic needs to placed inside the static block so that it will be executed at the time of class loading.Syntaxstatic {    //some statements }Examplepublic class StaticBlockTest {    static {       System.out.println("Static Block!");    }    public static void main(String args[]) {       System.out.println("Welcome to Tutorials Point!");    } }OutputStatic Block!

An anonymous inner class is an inner class which is declared without any class name at all. In other words, a nameless inner class is called an anonymous inner class. Since it does not have a name, it cannot have a constructor because we know that a constructor name is the same as the class name.We can define an anonymous inner class and create its object using the new operator at the same time in one step.Syntaxnew(argument-list){    // Anonymous class body }Types of Anonymous Inner Class in JavaAnonymous inner class that extends a classAnonymous inner class that implements an interfaceAnonymous inner ...

When can we use intern() method of String class in Java?

Updated on 11-Mar-2026 549 Views

The intern() method of String class can be used to deal with the string duplication problems in Java. Using intern() we can save a lot of memory consumed by duplicate string instances. A string is duplicate if it contains the same content as another string but it can be occupied different memory locations.We know that JVM maintains a separate heap memory for string literals for the performance. Once we declare a string literal it will go to this pool and if another variable is assigned with the same literal value, it will be picked from the pool instead of creating a new ...

What is an OutOfMemoryError and steps to find the root cause of OOM in Java?

The OutOfMemoryError is thrown by JVM, when JVM does not have enough available memory, to allocate. OutOfMemoryError falls into the Error category in Exception class hierarchy.To generate OutOfMemoryErrorWe will allocate a large chunk of memory, which will exhaust heap memory storage.We will keep on allocating the memory and point will reach, when JVM will not have enough memory to allocate, then OutOfMemoryError will be thrown.Once we will catch the OutOfMemory error, we can log the error.Examplepublic class OutOfMemoryErrorDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       int dummyArraySize = 15;       System.out.println("Max JVM memory: " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());   ...

Can we define a static constructor in Java?

No, we cannot define a static constructor in Java, If we are trying to define a constructor with the static keyword a compile-time error will occur.In general, static means class level. A constructor will be used to assign initial values for the instance variables. Both static and constructor are different and opposite to each other. We need to assign initial values for an instance variable we can use a constructor. We need to assign static variables we can use Static Blocks.Examplepublic class StaticConstructorTest {    int x = 10;    // Declaratiopn of Static Constructor    static StaticConstructorTest() {   ...

No, we cannot declare a top-level class as private or protected. It can be either public or default (no modifier). If it does not have a modifier, it is supposed to have a default access.Syntax// A top level class    public class TopLevelClassTest {       // Class body }If a top-level class is declared as private the compiler will complain that the modifier private is not allowed here. This means that a top-level class cannot be a private, the same can be applied to protected access specifier also.Protected means that the member can be accessed by any class in the same ...
