An interface without having any methods and by implementing that interface if our objects will get same ability such type interfaces are called marker interface (or) ability interface (or) tag interface

Multiple inheritance is not supported directly but it is achieved through the concept of Interface

Dealing with primitives as objects is easier at times. Most of the objects collection store objects and not primitive types. Many utility methods are provided by wrapper classes. To get these advantages we need to use wrapper classes. As they are objects, they can be stored in any of the collection and pass this collection as parameters to the methods.

Features of the Java wrapper Classes:

- Wrapper classes convert numeric strings into numeric values.

- The way to store primitive data in an object.

- The valueOf() method is available in all wrapper classes except Character

- All wrapper classes have typeValue() method. This method returns the value of the object as its primitive type.

Error-first callbacks are used to pass errors and data as well. You have to pass the error as the first parameter, and it has to be checked to see if something went wrong. Additional arguments are used to pass data.

fs.readFile(filePath, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
// handle the error, the return is important here
// so execution stops here
return console.log(err)
}
// use the data object
console.log(data)
})

HashCode method return int value. So the Hash value is the int value returned by the hash function .

If you want to do equality check or want to use your object as key in HashMap, we must override hashcode and equals() method.

Immutable classes are Java classes whose objects can not be modified once created. Any modification in Immutable object result in new object. For example is String is immutable in Java. Mostly Immutable are also final in Java, in order to prevent sub class from overriding methods in Java which can compromise Immutability. You can achieve same functionality by making member as non final but private and not modifying them except in constructor.
