Q1. Define Threads & what are the various methods to implement Threads.

So, a thread in Java is basically like a smaller unit of a process. You can think of it as a lightweight
process that allows a program to do multiple things at the same time. For instance, you can have one
thread handling user input while another processes data in the background.

To implement threads, there are two main ways. First, you can extend the Thread class. Here, you
just create a new class that extends Thread and override its run() method. Then, you start the thread
by calling start(). The second way, which is often more flexible, is to implement the Runnable
interface. You create a class that implements Runnable, and then you pass an instance of that class to
a Thread object. This is handy when your class is already extending another class because Java
doesn’t allow multiple inheritance.

Q2. Explain Exception handling & what are various ways to handle this exception.

Exception handling in Java is like a safety net for your program. It helps you manage errors or
unexpected events in a way that doesn’t crash the entire program. So, when something goes wrong,
instead of the program just stopping, you can catch the error and deal with it.

To handle exceptions, you generally use try-catch blocks. You put the code that might throw an
exception in the try block, and then you catch the exception in the catch block, where you can decide
how to handle it. You can also use a finally block, which runs code no matter what, whether an
exception was thrown or not—great for things like closing files. Another way is using the throws
keyword in a method signature to indicate that the method might throw an exception, leaving it to
the caller to handle it. And you can also throw exceptions manually using the throw keyword.

Q3. List various features of Java.

Java has several key features that make it a powerful language. First, it’s platform-independent,
meaning you can write your code once and run it anywhere, thanks to the JVM. It’s also object-
oriented, so everything is treated as an object, which helps in organizing and managing code better.

Java is known for being simple and familiar, with a syntax similar to C++, but without the complex
features, making it easier to learn. It’s secure, with features like bytecode verification and a security
manager that make it a safe choice for developing applications. Java is also robust, focusing on early
error checking and strong memory management. Plus, it’s multithreaded, allowing multiple threads
to run concurrently. Lastly, Java is dynamic and adaptable, with support for dynamic loading of
classes.

Q4. Explain the importance of bytecode in Java.

Bytecode is really crucial in Java because it’s what makes Java platform-independent. So, when you
compile your Java program, it doesn’t turn into machine code directly. Instead, it gets compiled into
bytecode, which is an intermediate form. This bytecode isn’t specific to any one operating system.
Then, when you run your program, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on your platform interprets or
compiles this bytecode into the machine code that your specific system understands. This process is
what allows Java programs to run on any device or operating system that has a JVM installed, making
it incredibly versatile.
Q5. Explain the life cycle of servlets.

The life cycle of a servlet is like the different stages a servlet goes through from creation to
destruction. It starts when the servlet class is loaded into memory by the servlet container, usually
when it’s first requested or when the server starts up. The container then creates an instance of the
servlet.

Next, the container calls the init() method, which runs only once. This is where the servlet performs
any necessary startup tasks, like setting up resources. After that, every time the servlet is requested,
the service() method is called. This method handles the request and decides which HTTP method,
like doGet() or doPost(), to call based on the type of request.

Finally, when the servlet is no longer needed, the container calls the destroy() method. This is the
last step where the servlet can clean up any resources it’s using before it’s removed from memory.
Understanding this life cycle is important because it helps you manage resources and ensure your
servlet performs well.
