Limit the number of objects being created in JAVA

Q   :- Limit the number of objects being created in JAVA.

Sol :- The example below limits creation of objects of MyClass class to a maximum of 5 by declaring the constructor private and calling it via getMyClass() method.If an attempt to create more than 5 objects is done, the getMyClass() method will return a null,thus,the object so created will not be referenced and ultimately cleared by the garbage collector.
 
import java.io.*;
class MyClass
{
public static int count=0;
int a;
private MyClass()
{
count++;
a=count;
System.out.println("object created  = "+a);
if(count>4)
System.out.println("Object Creation Limit Exceeded");
}
public static MyClass getMyClass()
{
if(MyClass.count==5)
return null;
else
return new MyClass();
}
}

class LimitObjectInstance
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int i=-1,ch;
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); 
MyClass obj[]=new MyClass[10];
while(true)
{
System.out.println("\nDo you want to create new Object (1 for Yes ) ??   ");
try
{
ch=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()) ;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
ch=2;
}
if(ch==1)
{
i++;
                   obj[i]= MyClass.getMyClass();
}
else
{
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
}

CIVIL SERVICES' (I.A.S.) EXAMINATION

The Union Public Service Commission (U.P.S.C.)  conducts Civil Services' Examination once a year in two stages.

Predict the output or error(s) for the following:

1 . void main(){ int const * p=5; printf("%d",++(*p)); } Answer: Compiler error: Cannot modify a constant value. Explanation: p is a pointer to a "constant integer". But we tried tochange the value of the "constant integer". 2. main() {  char s[ ]="man"; int i;  for(i=0;s[ i ];i++) printf("\n%c%c%c%c",s[i],*(s+i),*(i+s),i[s]); } Answer: mmmm aaaa nnnn Explanation: s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea. Generally array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i]. 3 . main(){  float me = 1.1;  double you = 1.1;  if(me==you) printf("I love U"); else printf("I hate U"); } Answer: I hate U Explanation : For floating point numbers (float, double, long double) ...

How do I "get" a null pointer in my programs?

Answer : According to the language definition, a constant 0 in a pointer context is converted into a null pointer at compile time. That is, in an initialization, assignment, or comparison when one side is a variable or expression of pointer type, the compiler can tell that a constant 0 on the other side requests a null pointer, and generate the correctly-typed null pointer value. Therefore, the following fragments are perfectly legal: char *p = 0; if(p != 0) However, an argument being passed to a function is not necessarily recognizable as a pointer context, and the compiler may not be able to tell that an unadorned 0 "means" a null pointer. For instance, the Unix system call "execl" takes a variable-length, null-pointer-terminated list of character pointer arguments. To generate a null pointer in a function call context, an explicit cast is typically required: execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "ls", (char *)0); If the (c...
