What is the Halting Problem, and who proved that it is undecidable?
The Halting Problem is the question of whether an arbitrary computer program will eventually halt or run indefinitely. Alan Turing proved in 1936 that this problem is undecidable
What is the difference between deep copy and shallow copy in Java, and how can you create a deep copy of an object?
A shallow copy creates a new object but copies references instead of duplicating the actual objects, meaning changes to mutable fields affect both copies. A deep copy creates a completely independent copy, duplicating all referenced objects. Creating a deep copy requires copying all of the individual data values. Methods may vary
