Q) Explain about “abstract” modifier?




A)
->”abstraction” is a keyword in java.
->”abstraction” modifier is applicable only to methods and classes. So it can’t be applied to variables.
->in java a method with “body” i.e. definition is known as “concrete method”.

Ex:
void x()
{
  int a=10;
}  // concrete method

void x()
{
}  // null body method and concrete

void y()
{
} //concrete method with null body

->A method that has only declaration but not any definition is declared “abstraction”.
i.e. body less/definition less method is nothing but an abstraction method.
Ex: abstract void mave();
->if a method is abstract , its class also should declared as abstract.
Note : An abstract class have zero or more abstract methods.

Ex:
alass A
{
   abstract void x();
}  // error. Class must be declare abstract.

->abstract methods enforce the sub classes to implement them i.e. override them.
->if a class is inheriting from an abstract class then it is the responsibility of the subclass to override (implement) all the abstract methods of the super class. Otherwise the sub class also becomes abstract.

Additional information:
- The method which only prototype/declaration but not contain body called abstract method/non concrete method.
- A method contain body is called concrete method. the method with doesn’t contain body called non-concrete method.
- The abstraction method in java is equal to pure virtual method in c++.

Ex:
abstract class B
{

} // ok. Abstract class need not have abstract methods.

- if the class is abstract its instantiation is prevented.
- the abstract class is a non-concrete class.
- in the above example if the abstract keyword is removed then that becomes a concrete class.
i.e.

class B
{

} //ok. It is concrete class but null instantiation.

Q) What is JDBC driver? What is its role in java database connection?

A) ->A translation software written in java according o JDBC specification is nothing but “JDBC driver”. -> JDBC driver implements JDBC API. Use single API. JDBC driver role: They are 4 roles   1)       Establishing connection between JDBC client and database server. 2)       Receiving JDBC method calls made by JDBC client while performing database (CRUD) operations. 3)       Translating java method calls into DBMS understandable calls and forwarding them to database server. 4)       Receiving the results from database server. Translating them into java format and handling over the same to the JDBC client.

Q) Explain about nested classes?

A) ->defining a class with in another class is known as nesting of the class. Ex: class A {        class B        {                      } //nested class, and inner class.because it is not static class. } //enclosing class or outer class. ->static class is declared in inside an another class then it does not become an inner class. Note: non-static nested class is known as “inner class”. In the above example class B is nested but not an inner class. Ex: class D {        static c        {                      } //nested class, but not an inner class , because of static class. } //outer class. ->we have three different kinds of inner classes. 1) Member inner class 2) Meth...
