In Java, when you use the + operator with both numbers and strings, it performs left-to-right addition. So, the numbers are added first, and then the result is concatenated with the strings. The correct output is "1020Hello3040."

In the context of Lambda expressions, "effectively final" refers to variables that are not supposed to change after they are initially assigned a value. Lambda expressions can capture and use local variables from their surrounding scope, but these variables must be effectively final, meaning they are not modified after being captured by the lambda. This is to ensure the consistency of captured variables in the lambda's behavior.

In Java, you can use the isBound() method to check whether a socket is bound or not. This method returns true if the socket is bound, otherwise false.

In JavaFX, to handle an event, you typically override the handle() method. This method is part of the EventHandler interface, and you provide your custom event-handling logic within it. The other options, such as start(), are methods used for different purposes in JavaFX applications.

You would choose an abstract class over an interface when you want to provide a common base class with some shared functionality and allow derived classes to implement additional methods. Abstract classes can have both abstract and concrete methods, making them suitable for situations where you need to provide a common structure along with partial implementation.

The main disadvantage of Bubble Sort is its worst-case time complexity of O(n^2), which makes it inefficient for sorting large datasets. It is a comparison-based sorting algorithm, and its performance degrades significantly as the dataset size increases. Its stability and in-place sorting characteristics are not the primary factors affecting its performance.

To access or modify private fields in a class, you should use "mutator" methods, also known as setter methods. These methods are designed to set or modify the private field values, maintaining control over access.

Method overriding is a form of polymorphism that occurs at runtime, making it dynamic polymorphism. It allows the actual method to be determined at runtime based on the object's type, which is why it's also known as runtime polymorphism.

In Java, synchronized blocks allow you to lock specific portions of a method rather than locking the entire method. By using synchronized blocks, you can choose what specific data or code you want to protect from concurrent access by specifying the object that should serve as the lock, commonly referred to as "the method's ________."

In JDBC, the method executeUpdate() is used to execute SQL statements that perform Data Definition Language (DDL) operations, such as creating, altering, or dropping database objects. It returns an integer representing the number of rows affected by the statement. executeQuery() is used for retrieving data, not DDL statements.
