Q) Explain about some methods?

A)
getClass() :
                       
Method returns java.long.class type. It represents the runtime context of the class from which the object is created.

clone() :
                       
Method is used to create an exact copy of that object.

hashCode() :
                        Method returns an integer. That represents the hash code of object. JVM produces hash code based on the object address.
toString() :
                       
Method is meant for textual representation.
equals() :
                        Method is used to compare two objects.
finalize() :
                        Method is almost not implementing in a class. Hypothetically it can be used to release the recourses allocated to the object. If needed we can make the object reachable by assigning the object address to the reference variable in the finalize() methods.
finalize() is called before garbage collection.

wait() :
                        Method suspense a thread acting upon a synchronize object.
notify() :
                       
Transits a thread from blocked state to active state which is suspended by calling wait(). This method is also can be called only on the synchronized object.

notifyAll() :
                       
It wakes up all the suspended threads which are blocked through wait() method. This method is also can be called only on the synchronized object.

Note:
the above 3 methods are mostly used in interThread communication.

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) What is ODBC?

A) ->open database connectivity is a technology from MS that enables any language program (other than java) to communication with database Management System. ->in java program ODBC is directly not allowed for the fallowing reasons 1) OS dependency 2) Procedural oriented approach 3) Security thread

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...
