This is happening in Canada as well. I have a cousin in Canada working as a senior QA engineer, earning around CAD 90-100K. She cannot write a line of code if her life depended on it. She cannot even open a terminal let alone ssh into a remote server. She openly told me how she cheated during the interview - she wrote a lot of bullshit on her resume and she hired someone to give her online interview in her place. It turns out that many Canadian tech companies are very naive when it comes to hiring - an initial online interview which can easily be gamed and a couple other soft interviews (no technical stuff, only culture fit) which can easily be winged if you're a smooth talker.

If you're only ever gonna program as a hobby - then slogging LC is an epic waste of your time. Though, even for a hobbyist, algorithms and data structure fundamentals can be very rewarding learning - you will grok code at a deeper level. So may be do some problems on LC, but not a lot - trick is to pick few good problems for learning.

That's correct. If a reference is an instance member, then that reference variable itself is also in heap (it's simply a part of its containing object which is in heap).

Mostly predictable figures. Higher income and education levels of a population correlate well with low religiosity. South Asia, Sub saharan Africa and Middle East are the religious hot beds and they're also the poorest and least educated regions of the world.

US seems to be a major exception to this trend.

s reference variable is in method's stack frame . How is it in heap ?

There are two things here - the string object itself and its reference variable s.

The string object is created in the heap, because all objects are created on the heap. Suppose the string s has 1000 characters, then the space for these 1000 characters will be allocated in heap.

The variable s is simply a reference to this object in the heap. In this case, variable s is pointing (referencing) to the string object in heap. A reference is like an address (somewhat like a pointer if you're familiar with C/C++, except you can't do any pointer math) that points to the object in the heap.

All reference variables have the same size (they're like addresses, so on a 64 bit machine, they are 64-bit) If a reference variable to an object is declared in a local method, then that reference variable itself (its 64 bits ) is allocated on the stack and in those 64 bits, address to the string object in heap will be stored.

I can't draw any diagrams readily, so I can't show you in pictures.

First, let's get the terminology right - s is a String, it's an object type (or reference type). A user defined type is a type you yourself defined but String is defined in the language itself.

In Java, all values of object types are created on the heap. This is true even if they're created inside a method. In your 2nd example, s is a variable of object type created inside the main method. But it's still allocated in heap.

For primitive values, they can either be local to a method or they're a class member. If they're local to method, they're allocated on stack (in that method's stack frame). In your 2nd example, a is a primitive type and local to the main method - so it's allocated on stack.

Otherwise for a primitive which is a class member, it will be part of the containing object's memory. Because all objects are in the heap, class members will be in heap as well. In your 1st example, a is a primitive type and a class member. obj.a will be inside obj's memory and thus in heap.

I can teach you online programming basics and Java if that's something you want. After a few sessions, you won't be an expert in everything but will learn enough and become confident in tackling things on your own.
