When does the JVM exit?


After the main method returns.
After all the non demons threads created by the application complete.
After all the demon threads created by the application complete
When a thread executes System.exit();
When an uncaught exception is thrown in a non demon thread.
When an uncaught exception is thrown in a demon thread.
---------------------------------------------------


class which has all its constructors declared as private
1.Cannot be instantiated by any other Outer class.
2.Cannot be extended.

i understand why it can't be instantiated by the other class or other outer class...

but why it can't extend any body please......

Hi,
Answering your first question....
you are right. abs() method returns the same value when the argument given is Integer.MIN_VALUE.

Answering your third question
The class with all constructors declared private cannot be extended.
The Reason is the derived class constructor has to call the super class constructor.As the superclass constructor has private access ,it is not possible and it results in compiler error.

Hi
Integer.MIN_VALUE returns -2147483648. MAX_VALUE of integer is 2147483647. Math.abs() method returns positive no. for example if abs(-10) return 10. so in this case abs(-2147483648) possible to return 2147483648. Here 2147483648 is oveflow value for integer. so it returns -2147483648.

can I any thing misundersatnd here?
