If we print any object by using println() or print() methods.

The println() or print() methods internally calls tostring() method and prints the return value of toString() method.

A Manifest file is a simple text file that tells the browser what to cache and what not to cache. 

There are three sections of a Manifest file:

i.) CACHE MANIFEST - Files listed here are cached after they are downloaded for the first time. 

ii.) NETWORK - Files listed here require a connection to the server, and are never cached

iii.) FALLBACK - Files listed here specify fallback pages if a page is inaccessible

sap memory is a global memory whereas abap memory is local memory.

For example, we have four programs in abap memory and assigned some varibles to a particular program in abap memory then those varibles can't be used by anyother program in abap memory i.e., the variables are only for that program and also local to that memory,whereas sap memory can access all the abap memory or else it can perform any kind of modifications.

Dynamic binding is orthogonal to dynamic linking. Binding refers to the linking of a procedure call to the code to be executed in response to the call. Dynamic binding It is associated with polymorphism and inheritance, it(also known as late binding) means that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time of the call at run-time.

- Virtual domain is the domain of the client on which they can run their applications without having to install the server or hardware. 

- The software need not to be installed physically on the server as it can be done using the local repositories and maintaining the domain locally. 

- Using the virtual domain the server storage space is utilized efficiently and the data can be made more secure before publishing it online. 

- Virtual domains are used to represent the personal Internet web address domain name and can be made with your personal one. 

- Virtual domain provides more security in terms of using your own personalized domain and allows the access to the resources that are on web.

Automated testing cannot replace manual testing because of following reason:

- Automated testing cannot replace the analytical skills required to conduct testing. It can only enhance or supplement manual testing,

- Through manual testing, information can be gathered about the application, and real-time decisions can be made about how to enhance a test that would be too difficult to program into an automated script.

- We need a manual tester to analyze and maintain the automated scripts after they can run.

- Because of the block nature, multiple statements are processed at once thereby improving performance. 

- PL/SQL handles exceptions on catching which, action can be taken. 

- PL/SQL is highly portable as it works with all procedural languages and is highly secured because of privileges.
