Q4. When and where to use which collection?
The key interfaces used by the collection framework are List, Set and Map. The List and Set extends the
Collection interface. Should not confuse the Collection interface with the Collections class which is a utility class.
A Set is a collection with unique elements and prevents duplication within the collection. HashSet and TreeSet
are implementations of a Set interface. A List is a collection with an ordered sequence of elements and may
contain duplicates. ArrayList, LinkedList and Vector are implementations of a List interface.
The Collection API also supports maps, but within a hierarchy distinct from the Collection interface. A Map is an
object that maps keys to values, where the list of keys is itself a collection object. A map can contain duplicate
values, but the keys in a map must be distinct. HashMap, TreeMap and Hashtable are implementations of a Map
interface.
How to implement collection ordering? SortedSet and SortedMap interfaces maintain sorted order. The
classes, which implement the Comparable interface, impose natural order. For classes that don’t implement
comparable interface, or when one needs even more control over ordering based on multiple attributes, a
Comparator interface should be used.
Design pattern: What is an Iterator? An Iterator is a use once object to access the objects stored in a collection.
Iterator design pattern (aka Cursor) is used, which is a behavioural design pattern that provides a way to access
elements of a collection sequentially without exposing its internal representation.

Q5. How garbage collection works.


Each time an object is created in Java, it goes into the area of memory known as heap. The Java heap is called
the garbage collectable heap. The garbage collection cannot be forced. The garbage collector runs in low
memory situations. When it runs, it releases the memory allocated by an unreachable object. The garbage
collector runs on a low priority daemon (background) thread. You can nicely ask the garbage collector to collect
garbage by calling System.gc() but you can’t force it.
What is an unreachable object? An object’s life has no meaning unless something has reference to it. If you
can’t reach it then you can’t ask it to do anything. Then the object becomes unreachable and the garbage collector
will figure it out. Java automatically collects all the unreachable objects periodically and releases the memory
consumed by those unreachable objects to be used by the future reachable objects.

We can use the following options with the Java command to enable tracing for garbage collection events.
-verbose:gc reports on each garbage collection event.
Explain types of references in Java? java.lang.ref package can be used to declare soft, weak and phantom
references.
ô Garbage Collector won’t remove a strong reference.
ô A soft reference will only get removed if memory is low. So it is useful for implementing caches while
avoiding memory leaks.
ô A weak reference will get removed on the next garbage collection cycle. Can be used for implementing
canonical maps. The java.util.WeakHashMap implements a HashMap with keys held by weak references.
ô A phantom reference will be finalized but the memory will not be reclaimed. Can be useful when you want to
be notified that an object is about to be collected.

Q6. Difference in Jdk and jre
