A class that is declared WITHOUT any ACCESS modifiers is said to have PACKAGE or friendly access. This means that the class can only be accessed by other classes and INTERFACES that are defined WITHIN the same package.

Java uses layout managers to lay out components in a CONSISTENT manner across all windowing PLATFORMS. SINCE Java's layout managers aren't tied to absolute sizing and positioning, they are able to accommodate platform-specific differences among windowing systems.

The elements of a GridBagLayout are organized ACCORDING to a grid. However, the elements are of different SIZES and may occupy more than one ROW or COLUMN of the grid. In addition, the rows and columns may have different sizes.

No, it doesn't. It is possible for programs to use up memory resources FASTER than they are garbage COLLECTED. It is also possible for programs to CREATE OBJECTS that are not SUBJECT to garbage collection.

No, it doesn't. It is possible for programs to use up memory resources faster than they are garbage collected. It is also possible for programs to create objects that are not subject to garbage collection.

If an EXPRESSION involving the Boolean & operator is EVALUATED, both operands are evaluated. Then the & operator is applied to the OPERAND. When an expression involving the && operator is evaluated, the first operand is evaluated. If the first operand returns a value of true then the second operand is evaluated. The && operator is then applied to the first and second operands. If the first operand EVALUATES to false, the evaluation of the second operand is skipped.

Operator & has no CHANCE to skip both sides evaluation and && operator does.

Heavy WEIGHT components like ABSTRACT Window Toolkit (AWT), depend on the local windowing toolkit. For example, java.awt.Button is a heavy weight component, when it is running on the Java platform for Unix platform, it maps to a real Motif button. In this relationship, the Motif button is called the PEER to the java.awt.Button. If you create two Buttons, two peers and hence two Motif Buttons are also CREATED. The Java platform communicates with the Motif Buttons using the Java Native Interface.

For each and every component added to the application, there is an additional overhead TIED to the local windowing system, which is why these components are called heavyweight.
