Q:

What are pass by reference and pass by value ?

Answer

When an object is passed by value, this means that a copy of the object is passed. Thus, even if changes are made to that object, it doesn’t affect the original value. 


When an object is passed by reference, this means that the actual object is not passed, rather a reference of the object is passed. Thus, any changes made by the external method, are also reflected in all places.

When ever two or more threads are sharing same data for updating then unpredicted result will be there in the data.


For Example take a thread is depositing amount in Account Object and another thread is withdrawing amount from the same Account Object.


when ever both threads are executed simultaneously then unexpected result is stored in the balance of the  Account Object.

Q:

What is difference between methods and blocks?

Answer

Method contains name, parameters, return type and executable body. But block does not contains name, parameters, return type.It contains only executable body.


Methods are executed by method call statements. Blocks are executed automatically with class loading and with object creation.
