Questions and Answers

How can you swap two integers in Java without using a third variable?

You can use arithmetic operations like a = a + b; b = a - b; a = a - b; to swap them.

What is the command to check if a number is a palindrome in Java?

You can reverse the number and check if it equals the original number.

How would you find prime numbers from an array of integers in Java?

You can iterate through the array and check if each number is divisible only by 1 and itself.

What methods would you implement in a Stack class to facilitate push and pop operations?

<p>You would implement <code>push(int value)</code> to add a value and <code>pop()</code> to remove and return the top value.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of encapsulation in Java.

<p>Encapsulation in Java is the bundling of data and methods that operate on that data within a single unit, usually a class, and restricting access to some of the object's components.</p> Signup and view all the answers
