Autoboxing is the process of converting a primitive type data into its corresponding wrapper class object instance.

Example:

Integer number = new Integer (100); // number is now refers to the object 100

Unboxing is the process of converting a wrapper instance into a primitive type.

Example: 

Integer number = new Integer (100); 

int num = number;// without type casting number would be changed into int type

Top level class is also called outer class. It is not defined inside any class.

Ex:

class A {  //top level class

}

An app will be in InActive state if it is running in the foreground but is currently not receiving events. An app stays in InActive state only briefly as it transitions to a different state.

Wrapped classes are classes that allow primitive types to be accessed as objects.

Fractional reserve banking is the practice whereby a bank accepts deposits, makes loans or investments, but is required to hold reserves equal to only a fraction of its deposit liabilities. Fractional reserve banking is a banking system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash on hand and are available for withdrawal. This is done to expand the economy by freeing up capital that can be loaned out to other parties.

To use an iterator to traverse through the contents of a collection, follow these steps:

- Obtain an iterator to the start of the collection by calling the collections iterator() method.

- Set up a loop that makes a call to hasNext(). Have the loop iterate as long as hasNext() returns true.

- Within the loop, obtain each element by calling next().

Dynamic binding is orthogonal to dynamic linking. Binding refers to the linking of a procedure call to the code to be executed in response to the call. Dynamic binding It is associated with polymorphism and inheritance, it(also known as late binding) means that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time of the call at run-time.
