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 block 
  • this : refer the current object
  • Super class of every class : object class
  • Can't use both super() and this() in constructor at once
  • Can overload main method
  • Can declare main method as final
  • final class
    • can't inherit

Variables Related 

  • Local variables are not initialized to any default value
  • Static variables: 
    • used to refer the common property of all objects
  • final variables:
    • can't change the value

Method Related 

  • Constructor: It is a method that used to create objects
  • Return value of constructor : current instance
  • Constructor can't inherit and can't define as final
  • Static methods :
    • can invoke without initializing objects
    • can't override (Because they are part of the class, not the object)
  • final methods:
    • can't override
  • main method is static: because it's invoked before  initializing objects
  • If static keyword is removed from main method: program compiles but gives run time error

Sorting Algorithms

Bubble Sort Named as sinking sort. Compare each pair of the adjacent items and swap them if they are in the wrong order. Worst case and average case time complexity both O(n^2)  and best case time complexity is O(n).

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...
