Pass By Reference means the passing the address itself rather than passing the value. Passby Value means passing a copy of the value to be passed.

Local class is class defined inside method

EX;

class A { // top level class

  public static void main(string[] args) {

   class B { // local class

   }

}

We need to first login to the data base as: SQLPLUS followed by user_name/password. Then we need to execute the following query:

CREATE USER user_name IDENTIFIED BY abcd; in this query a user_name suggest the user that is created which has a password abcd which is required for login in database.

The wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() methods are used to provide an efficient way for threads to wait for a shared resource. When a thread executes an object's wait() method, it enters the waiting state. It only enters the ready state after another thread invokes the object's notify() or notifyAll() methods..

To create directory on the HD we use mkDir() method:

boolean mkDir();

This method returns true if the directory is created on HD

This method returns false if the directory is already existing on HD

The android system will keep all the process that are hosting the services together at one place till the time the service is not started or connected to the client. The priority of the process is divided when running low on memory or when the process has to be killed. The process lifecycle is as follows:
- The service is running currently then the methods onCreate(), onStartCommand(), and onDestroy()methods, will run in the foreground to execute the process without being killed.
- The service is already started then the process can be considered as less important then the processes that are currently visible and used. This is done as there are only few processes that are visible to the users on the screen.
- The clients are bounded to the services they are providing requires more priority in the execution list.
- The service that is started uses startForeground(int, Notification)API to allow all the services to run in the foreground state. The system considers only the services where the user is still active as the services not to be killed.

Use Interfaces when…

- You see that something in your design will change frequently.

- If various implementations only share method signatures then it is better to use Interfaces.

- You need some classes to use some methods which you don't want to be included in the class, then you go for the interface, which makes it easy to just implement and make use of the methods defined in the interface.

Use Abstract Class when…

- If various implementations are of the same kind and use common behavior or status then abstract class is better to use.

- When you want to provide a generalized form of abstraction and leave the implementation task with the inheriting subclass.

- Abstract classes are an excellent way to create planned inheritance hierarchies. They're also a good choice for nonleaf classes in class hierarchies.
