Some basic but important queries:: please Help

[Somesh Rathi]

Hello Friends,
I have some basic queries as follows.

1.Why is the syntax of main()is always public static void main(). Please explain importance of each keyword separately.

2.In Java ,there are no pointers. So what is alternative to pointers ?
How can we implement linked list ? Please explain with example.

3. What is different between Error & Exception ? When each of them should be used ?

4. Thread can be created by
a) extending Thread class or
b) by implementing runnable interface

Which is the best way to create thread ? Why ?


Many thanks in advance. I am looking forward for your much needed help.
Please reply ASAP.

Regards,
Somesh.

This forum is not meant for homework or interview questions. Or can you perhaps give us the reference to the SCJP mock exam where you found the questions.

Basically we have no forum where the work is done for you. You may attempt the questions yourself and ask whether your interpretation of the questions or your answers are on the right track. We prefer to help those who are willing to show some effort to solve their own problems.

Moving to Java In General (Beginner).

Somesh, please do some studying yourself. That way you will really learn what it all means - you won't really learn it when somebody just tells you the anwer to your homework questions. Study and learn it yourself.

You can find the answer to all of your questions in The Java Tutorial. For example:

This explains what public means: Controlling Access to Members of a Class

This explains what static means: Understanding Instance and Class Members

This explains what void means: Returning a Value from a Method
