Introduction To JavaScript

JavaScript Language has following characteristics:
  • Lightweight: Small memory footprint, easy to implement
  • Interpreted: No compilation, Instructions executed only
  • Object Oriented: Modeled around objects
  • First-class functions: Functions used as variables and parameters
  • Scripting language: Writing instructions for runtime environment
JavaScript is used for 
  • Client side web development
    • Frameworks: JQuery, AngularJs, React, EServer-side
  • Server-side web development
    • Frameworks: NodeJS, Express
Variable declaration and definition
  • Declaration: Give a name to a variable
  • Definition: Assign a value to the variable
Equal operations 
  • =: assigning value to a variable (a=30)
  • ==: check the values (doesn't consider types)
  • ===: check the values and types
Functions: 
  • no overloading
  • functions are objects
  • functional expression : assign function to variable
  • anonymous function: function with no name
Array methods
  • push(value): value is appended to the last position of an array
  • pop(): last element is removed
  • shift():first element is removed
  • unshift(value): values is appended as first element

Other Points 

  • Native JavaScript: Doesn't use any framework 
  • Doesn't associate type with variables
  • If you declare a variable and not define yet: it has undefined value
  • type of null in Javascript: object
  • For all non-zero values variable return as true.
  • JavaScript is not a class-based language: can add properties to object dynamically
  • Arrays behave like an object
  • Arguments: keyword that gets function arguments as list

Java- Interview

Here are some popular tips in Java General Question JVM - Java Virtual Machine. Used to execute byte code. Platform dependent (but byte code is platform independent) JRE- Java Run time Environment. It provides run time environment and it's the implementation of JVM. It contains libraries and files that need to execute JVM.   JDK- Java Development Kit. It contains JRE and development tools. Why java doesn't support pointers: It's insecure and complex to understand We can save java file with another name if class is not defined as public Java use camalCase notation for objects naming (ex: firstName) OOP Concepts Related  Aggregation: weak relationship (bike has an indicator) Composition:  strong relationship (bike has an engine) GUI Java GUI - Install Window builder to create GUI using Eclipse IDE Code Related No issues when you write static public void instead of public static void We can execute program without main method : using static bloc...

Core Java Concepts

Java Applications  There are mainly four types of Java applications. Standalone Web  Enterprise  Mobile Java Features  There are several features in Java, but in here listed some important ones Platform independent Object oriented Multi threaded Distributed Robust (automatic garbage collection, exception handling, type checking) Java Security  Java has 3 built-in security components; Classloader: Separate class files packages from imported packages. BytecodeVerifier: check the illegal access to objects Security Manager: check what resources can access the object. C++ vs Java Methods Static - No need to create an object to invoke the static method. Constructor - use to initialize objects Constructor name must same as the class name Constructor has no return type There are two types of constructors Default - no parameter Parameterized If there is no constructor defined in the class, compiler aut...

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

Object Object is an entity that has state and behavior Class Collection of objects is known as class. There are four main types of OOP concepts Inheritance Object acquire all the properties and behavior of parent object Improve code re-usability Polymorphism One task is performed by different ways Use method overload and override Abstraction Hiding internal details and showing functionality Use abstract class and interfaces Encapsulation Binding code and data into a single unit
