A: Java SE (Standard Edition), Java EE (Enterprise Edition), and Java ME (Micro Edition).

Flashcard 3

Q: Name some key core APIs in Java SE.


A: java.lang, java.util, java.io, java.nio, java.math, java.time, java.sql, java.awt, javax.swing,
java.beans, java.security, java.lang.reflect, java.concurrent, java.stream.

Flashcard 4

Q: How does Java handle strings for memory efficiency?


A: Java uses the String Pool, which stores string literals to reduce memory usage by reusing
common strings.

Flashcard 5

Q: What is the difference between String and StringBuilder?


A: String is immutable, meaning it cannot be changed once created, while StringBuilder is
mutable, allowing modifications.

Flashcard 6

Q: List some important methods in the String class.


A: length(), charAt(), indexOf(), substring(), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase(), equals(),
contains(), replace(), and trim().
Flashcard 7

Q: What are the primary operations of StringBuilder?


A: append() and insert(), used to add or insert characters into the string builder.

Flashcard 8

Q: Give an example of using method chaining in Java.


A: String result = "example".toUpperCase().trim().substring(0, 3);

Flashcard 9

Q: What does replace() do in the String class?


A: Replaces each occurrence of a specified substring with another substring.

Flashcard 10

Q: Name an expert-level StringBuilder challenge.


A: Implement a Caesar Cipher encoder and decoder using StringBuilder.
