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

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

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).

Java-8

Java 8 New Features There are several new features added in Java 8 version. Some of the important new features are: Define methods inside the interface For each method Lambda Expression Stream API DateTime API 1) Define methods (default, static) inside the Interface After you published your interface, you can't change it by adding some abstract methods. But if you want to add methods you can define those methods inside the interface. Therefore Java 8 support default and static methods inside the interface. In Java 7 version interface only have abstract methods (no method implementation) and an abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods. In Java 8 version you can add method implementation in the interface, but you have to declare that method as default method. ex: default void show(){............} To avoid diamond problem you have to override the method in implementation class if two interfaces have same default method ...
