Technology Questions

- The Set interface provides methods for accessing the elements of a finite mathematical set

- Sets do not allow duplicate elements

- Contains no methods other than those inherited from Collection

- It adds the restriction that duplicate elements are prohibited

- Two Set objects are equal if they contain the same elements

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

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.

Various elements of OOP are:

• Object

• Class

• Method

• Encapsulation

• Information Hiding

• Inheritance

• Polymorphism

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.

We can use the following method call:

boolean createNewFile();

This method creates a new file on the HD. 

If a file is already existing with the name given in the constructor then this method does not creates file on HD.

If file is successfully created then this method returns true.

If file is already existing on the HD then this method returns false.

This method may throw IOException whenever IO error is generated while creating file on HD.

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.

JDBC technology is an API (included in both J2SE and J2EE releases) that provides cross-DBMS connectivity to a wide range of SQL databases and access to other tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets or flat files. With a JDBC technology-enabled driver, you can connect all corporate data even in a heterogeneous environment.
