In which case would you choose a static inner class?
In which case would you choose a static inner class? Interesting one, static inner classes can access the outer class's protected and private fields. This is both a positive and a negitive point for us since we can, in essence, violate the encapsulation of the outer class by mucking up the outer cla...

How to check two arrays to see if contents have the same types and contain the same elements?
How to check two arrays to see if contents have the same types and contain the same elements? One of options is to use the equals() method of Arrays class. Arrays.equals(a, b); If the array types are different, a compile-time error will happen.

What is shallow copy or shallow clone in array cloning?
What is shallow copy or shallow clone in array cloning? Cloning an array invloves creating a new array of the same size and type and copying all the old elements into the new array. But such copy is called shallow copy or shallow clone because any changes to the object would be reflected in both arr...

Why Java does not support multiple inheritance ?
Why Java does not support multiple inheritance ? This is a classic question. Yes or No depends on how you look at Java. If you focus on the syntax of "extends" and compare with C++, you may answer 'No' and give explanation to support you. Or you may answer 'Yes'. Recommend you to say 'Yes'. Java DOE...

Can a private method of a superclass be declared within a subclass?
Can a private method of a superclass be declared within a subclass? Sure. A private field or method or inner class belongs to its declared class and hides from its subclasses. There is no way for private stuff to have a runtime overloading or overriding (polymorphism) features.

Is there any other way that you can achieve inheritance in Java?
Is there any other way that you can achieve inheritance in Java? There are a couple of ways. As you know, the straight way is to "extends" and/or "implements". The other way is to get an instance of the class to achieve the inheritance. That means to make the supposed-super-class be a field member. ...

What are the drawbacks of inheritance?
What are the drawbacks of inheritance? Since inheritance inherits everything from the super class and interface, it may make the subclass too clustering and sometimes error-prone when dynamic overriding or dynamic overloading in some situation. In addition, the inheritance may make peers hardly unde...

Why is multiple inheritance not possible in Java?
Why is multiple inheritance not possible in Java? It depends on how you understand "inheritance". Java can only "extends" one super class, but can "implements" many interfaces; that doesn't mean the multiple inheritance is not possible. You may use interfaces to make inheritance work for you.

Can one create a method which gets a String and modifies it?
Can one create a method which gets a String and modifies it? No. In Java, Strings are constant or immutable; their values cannot be changed after they are created, but they can be shared. Once you change a string, you actually create a new object. For example: String s = "abc"; //create a new String...

What is the difference between shallow copy and deep copy?
What is the difference between shallow copy and deep copy? Shallow copy shares the same reference with the original object like cloning, whereas the deep copy get a duplicate instance of the original object. If the shallow copy has been changed, the original object will be reflected and vice versa.

Can you declare a class as private?
Can you declare a class as private? Yes, we can declare a private class as an inner class. For example, class MyPrivate { private static class MyKey { String key = "12345"; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(new MyKey().key);//prints 12345 } }
