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... 2012-09-05, 2577👍, 0💬

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... 2012-09-07, 2575👍, 0💬

What are use cases?
What are use cases? A use case describes a situation that a program might encounter and what behavior the program should exhibit in that circumstance. It is part of the analysis of a program.

What is polymorphism?
What is polymorphism? Polymorphism means "having many forms". It allows methods (may be variables) to be written that needn't be concerned about the specifics of the objects they will be applied to.
