Ans. Static variables are shared by all objects of the class and hence each instance may update it with its local value.
117. Can we override main method ?
Ans. No
118. Difference between server side and client side validation ?
Ans. Client side validation is done using scripting technologies like javascript before the form is submitted to server whereas server side validation is done after the form is submitted to server.

short - java.lang.Short
void - java.lang.Void
121. Explain System.out.println ?
Ans. System is the class having static variable out that defaults to system console and println is the overloaded method.
122. Explain public static void main() ?
Ans. public means it has public access, static means that the method can be invoked without instantiating the object, void means it returns nothing.
123. What is Java Byte Code ?
Ans. Java bytecode is the form of instructions that the Java virtual machine executes.
124. What is the relation between class file and byte code ?
Ans. Class files holds the instructions in byte code.
125. How can we make the object immutable ?
Ans. By making it a final class and making all members as private with those being initialized through constructor.
126. What is the purpose of making an object immutable ?
Ans. Since they cannot change state, they cannot be corrupted by thread interference or observed in an inconsistent state.
127. Explain the scenerios to choose between String , StringBuilder and StringBuffer ?
Ans.
If the Object value will not change in a scenario use String Class because a String object is immutable.
If the Object value can change and will only be modified from a single thread, use a StringBuilder because StringBuilder is unsynchronized(means faster).
If the Object value may change, and can be modified by multiple threads, use a StringBuffer because StringBuffer is thread safe(synchronized).
128. Explain java.lang.OutOfMemoryError ?
Ans. This Error is thrown when the Java Virtual Machine cannot allocate an object because it is out of memory, and no more memory could be made available by the garbage collector.
Thanks again for the article post.Really thank you! Fantastic.
