It’s compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format, which makes the compiled code to be executable on many processors, with the presence of Java runtime system.

5. What is a singleton class? Give a practical example of its usage.

A singleton class in java can have only one instance and hence all its methods and variables belong to just one instance. Singleton class concept is useful for the situations when there is a need to limit the number of objects for a class.

Compact Strings -  Java 9 Feature

Motivation The current implementation of the String class stores characters in a char array, using two bytes (sixteen bits) for each character. Data gathered from many different applications indicates that strings are a major component of heap usage and, moreover, that most String objects contain only Latin-1 characters. Such characters require only one byte of storage, hence half of the space in the internal char arrays of such String objects is going unused Description We propose to change the internal representation of the String class from a UTF-16 char array to a byte array plus an encoding-flag field. The new String class will store characters encoded either as ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character), or as UTF-16 (two bytes per character), based upon the contents of the string. The encoding flag will indicate which encoding is used. String-related classes such as AbstractStringBuilder, StringBuilder, and StringBuffer will be updated to use the same representation, as wi...

What is Applet ?

***What is an Applet? An Applet is a program that can be referenced by an HTML source code of a web page. It is dynamically downloaded from a web server to a browser and it is executed in the environment provided by the browser. Applet Viewer can also be used to execute  the applet. ***FirstApplet.java import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.Graphics; /*<applet code=“FirstApplet” width=200 height=200> </applet>*/ public class FirstApplet extends Applet { public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawString(“Hello World”,20,100); } } *** In the above example, The first two line is importing the java.applet and java.awt.Graphics package. The third line is the comment entry which is used only for applet viewer to execute the applet using the HTML source code. The next line declares the FirstApplet class which extends Applet class. Note that each applet created by user must extend the Applet class. There is a paint() method defined...
