Need help with the basics..from a newbie

[R69D]

Hi,
I'm real new to Java and need some help...was going through some old tutorials and need help with these questions:
1)What is “composition of methods?” How do u define the composition of methods?

2)What is the difference between the output from
String s;
System.out.println(“s = “+s);
and
String s = new String();
System.out.println(“s = “+s);

The value in string in the first code will retain its original value while the 2nd would get its string s value from the "new string" variable. Is this right?

3)What is the difference between equality of objects and equality of the references that refer to them?

4)What are the two parts required of every recursive method?
The counter(is this correct?)...and??

5)What does int[8] represent?
int refers to the data type of 8,being an integer and 8 being the value passed down(parameter). Is this correct?

6)What’s wrong with this:
char[] name=”Boris Yeltsin”;
Boris Yeltsin should be declared as a string type..without the " ". Is this right? Should the [] be there? There are no arguments being passed down.

Would appreciate your time.
Thanks

Post also what you think are the solutions to these questions.

You can also read here for some ideas. We can only give you solutions when you have tried on your own and are convinced you cannot get them correct.

Hi there,
I have written the solutions there...or what I think. I need someone to correct me as I myself am not sure if I am correct or not and need some guidance.
However..I really don't have a clue abt a couple questions....

Ok. Where did you get number 1? It doesn't sound right

Composition specifies a “has-a” relationship between classes(not methods) where one class has a data member that is an instance of the other class, such as “a car has a tire”. When creating a program, you need to choose whether to relate classes through inheritance or composition.

Here is an article about it.
