For inserting, deleting, and locating elements in a Map, the HashMap offers the best alternative. If, however, you need to traverse the keys in a sorted order, then TreeMap is your better alternative. Depending upon the size of your collection, it may be faster to add elements to a HashMap, then convert the map to a TreeMap for sorted key traversal.

Wrapped classes are classes that allow primitive types to be accessed as objects.

Constructor is not a special method.

Constructor is block of code that is executed automatically whenever object of the class is created.

By using overloading we can add new functionality to the sub class.

The garbage collector assumes that all objects in the managed heap are garbage. It starts walking the roots and builds a graph of all objects reachable from the roots recursively. It stops when it attempts to add an object to the graph that it previously added. The graph contains the set of all objects that are reachable from the application's roots. Any object/s that is not in the graph is not accessible by the application, and is considered garbage. Collection only occurs when the heap is full. In such a case, each and every garbage object calls the Finalize method and reclaims the unused memory

In the case of, "Price rises and demand is inelastic", the total revenue increases.

A Bank Reconciliation Statement is a statement prepared periodically by a customer to explain the divergence (difference) between the bank balance as per cash book and the bank balance as per Pass Book. It clearly shows the two differing balances and the outstanding items which causes the balances to disagree.

The objective of preparing such a statement is to know the causes of differences between the two balances and pass necessary correcting or adjusting entries in the books of the firm. But it is to be noted that some differences are automatically adjusted. For example - A cheque that has been sent for collection, but not yet collected, causes a difference between the balance as shown by the pass book and the balance as shown by the cash book, but no adjusting entry is required in the cash book for such a difference because, the bank will credit the firm’s account as soon as the cheque is collected.
