    Java interview questions and answers

        How would you implement Multiple Inheritance in java?

    -          One way you can implement multiple interfaces.

                   The second one is, one interface extends multiple interfaces and class implements the first interface. 


        In your program, you have a static block, non-static block, constructor and main(). What will be the sequence of execution?

    -          The sequence of execution is as follows.

    1.       Static Block : will be executed at the time of class loading into memory.

    2.    Non-Static Block : Will be executed at the time of instantiation. But make a note it depends if you are instantiating the class before printing any statement in main. If you instantiate the class after printing the statement.

    3.       Constructor : Will be executed at the time of object initializing.

    4.       Main  : Will execute last if you haven’t instantiated the class.

    5.       We can see more scenarios.

    Scenarios 1:

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class BlockExecutionSequenceDemo { 

          static {

                System.out.println("Static Block Excecution");

          }    

          {

                System.out.println("Non Static Block Excecution");

          }           

          public BlockExecutionSequenceDemo() {

                System.out.println("Constructor Excecution");

          }     

          public static void main(String[] args) {       

                System.out.println("Main Method Execution");         

          }

    }

    Output:

    Static Block Excecution

    Main Method Execution 

    Scenarios 2: 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class BlockExecutionSequenceDemo { 

          static {

                System.out.println("Static Block Excecution");

          }    

          {

                System.out.println("Non Static Block Excecution");

          }           

          public BlockExecutionSequenceDemo() {

                System.out.println("Constructor Excecution");

          }     

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                BlockExecutionSequenceDemo demo = new BlockExecutionSequenceDemo();

                System.out.println("Main Method Execution");

          }

    }

    Output :

    Static Block Excecution

    Non Static Block Excecution

    Constructor Excecution

    Main Method Execution 

    Scenarios 3:

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class BlockExecutionSequenceDemo { 

          static {

                System.out.println("Static Block Excecution");

          }    

          {

                System.out.println("Non Static Block Excecution");

          }           

          public BlockExecutionSequenceDemo() {

                System.out.println("Constructor Excecution");

          }     

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                System.out.println("Main Method Execution");

                BlockExecutionSequenceDemo demo = new BlockExecutionSequenceDemo();

          }

    } 

    Output:

    Static Block Excecution

    Main Method Execution

    Non Static Block Excecution

    Constructor Excecution


        What is the purpose to make a constructor private?

    -      Private constructor ensures that only one object can be created at a time.

    -          Cannot instantiate the class from outside the class.

    -          Generally for singleton design pattern uses a private constructor.

        What is instanceOf in java? Where it can be used?

    -          instanceOf is an operator in java.

    -          instanceOf can be used to check the type of object.

    -          syntax for instanceOf operator is, (JavaInterview instanceOf String);

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    import java.util.ArrayList;

    import java.util.List; 

    public class InstanceOfDemo { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {           

                List list = new ArrayList();

                list.add(new String("Java"));

                list.add(new Integer(100));

                list.add(new ITEmployee());    

                for(Object obj : list) {

                      if(obj instanceof String) {

                            System.out.println((String)obj);

                      }else if(obj instanceof Integer) {

                            System.out.println((Integer)obj);

                      }else if(obj instanceof ITEmployee) {

                            System.out.println((ITEmployee)obj);

                      }                                              

                }                      

          }

    } 

    class ITEmployee{     

    }


        What is the difference between equals() and ==?

    -          Equals() is the method and can be used for content comparison.

                   == is an operator and can be used for reference comparison.


        What is Comparable and Comparator? What is the difference between Comparable and Comparator?

    -          Comparable and Comparator are interfaces that can be used for sorting purposes.

    -          Comparable interface can be used for natural sorting order.

    -          Comparator interface can be used to customize sorting orders.

    -          Comparable has compareTo() method.

    -          Comparator has compare() method.


        What is the difference between checked exceptions and unchecked exceptions?

     

    Checked Exception

    Unchecked Exception

    1.

    Checked Exceptions can occur at Compile time.

    Unchecked Exceptions can occur at run time.

    2.

    If you don’t handle checked exceptions then your code will not compile. You will get a compile-time error.

    If you don’t handle unchecked exceptions you will get an exception at run time but your program will be compiled.

    3.

    Checked Exceptions extends Throwable and Error but except RuntimeException.

    Unchecked Exceptions extends RuntimeException.

    4.

    Examples :

    IOException, SQLException, FileNotFoundEx ception

    Examples:

    NullPointerException, ArithmeticException,

    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException


        Can you explain why NullPointerException occurred and how to handle it?

    -   Calling a method on null reference or trying to access a field of a null reference will trigger a NullPointerException.

    -    You can fix it either by making sure you are invoking the method non-null object.

    -   Make sure before invoking the method or modifying the field object is non-null.

    -     You can put a null check before invoking or performing any operation.

    -     You may use a try-catch block to handle NullPointerException.

    -     Please refer to the below scenario.

    a.       Trying to find the length of an array when it is null.

    b.      Calling the instance method on the null object.

    c.       Trying to modify the field of the null object.

    d.      Trying to count a length of String object when it is null.

    Demo 1: Put null check before invoking or performing any operation. 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class NullPointerExceptionDemo { 

          String str;     

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                new NullPointerExceptionDemo().calculateLength();

          }     

          public void calculateLength() {

                if(str != null) {

                      System.out.println(str.length());

                }else {

                      System.out.println(" Variable is "+ str);

                }          

          }    

    }

    Output: Variable is null 

    Demo 2: Put code inside try catch block. 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class NullPointerExceptionDemo { 

          String str;     

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                new NullPointerExceptionDemo().calculateLength();

          }     

          public void calculateLength() {

                try {

                      str.length();

                }catch(NullPointerException e) {

                      System.out.println("Null Pointer Exception Handled");

                }                      

          }    

    }

    Output: Null Pointer Exception Handled


        What is a Thread and what is the process?

    -    Thread: Thread is a single independent path of execution of the program.

    -   Process: Process is a program in execution.


        What are the advantages and disadvantages of Serialization?

    -          Advantages of Serialization.

    1.  Convert the object onto the byte stream and transfer it through the network.

    2.   A converted byte stream can save into a file or database.

    3.   Third-party services do not require implementing serialization.

    4. Serialization allows java to perform Encryption, decryption, Authentication etc.

    -          Disadvantages of Serialization.

    1.  Serialization is default serialization so unnecessary we have to implement full serialization.

    2.     Serialization is inefficient when it comes to memory utilization.

              3.   Sometimes the byte stream does not convert into objects completely which leads to error.

    Thank you techies for visiting this blog. I hope you enjoyed this blog and got more technical knowledge. I have tried to cover all types of questions and provided examples tested on eclipse as much as I can. Guys, please don’t just mug up the questions and answers. Try to clear your concepts with examples. Try to write a code on eclipse once you read the concepts. It will help you to memorize the concepts for a very long time. Simultaneously you will be prepared for interview programs as well. It will help you to survive in the IT sector for a long time. It may be easy to crack an interview but it's really tough to survive in the IT industry with inadequate knowledge and skills. 

    I have collected all the questions from actual interviews attended by my friends, colleagues, college mate and classmate. I have covered frequently asked questions as well as challenging questions. I have included many programs to understand the concept thoroughly. I will try to explain the concept with the help of a real-time program in eclipse. 

    You can share more questions which are not covered in this blog or post. Always welcome your suggestions and queries. I will definitely try to resolve it. 

    Please comment your queries and new set of questions under the comment sections. I will create a new post for those questions. 

    My total experience is 10. Initially I had worked on some support projects and then I moved to java projects. I had worked with many multi-national companies like R-Systems, Tata Consultancy Services, Cybage Softwares.  Fortunately, TCS and Cybage has given me an opportunity to take interviews for experienced candidates. I have conducted more than 1000 interviews by now.

    Mock sessions will be conducted for minimal charges. I will guide you personally on how to crack interviews. All sessions will be online sessions only. My interview book will be provided free of cost if you enroll for personal training. Once you have done practice then I assured you will definitely crack almost all java interviews. 

    I have published my book named with "All MNC Java Interview" which is available on amazon. You can go through it or you can directly contact to me if you are interested to read the book. I will give you special discount. I have covered near about 550 questions and answers with program tested on eclipse and necessary diagram. 

    I have covered interview questions asked in all reputed MNC like TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, City Bank, Barclays, Amdocs, Mindtree etc. My purpose behind this book is, help you to get a job in your dream company. I can understand this is a struggling period for job seekers and freshers. Everybody must have gone from this phase. so never give up. Keep upgrading yourself. I am sure you will get a job in your dream company. All the best!!! 

    Please reach out to me for personal training for interview preparation.
