        Which is the top most Parent class in Java? What the methods of Object Class?

    -          Java.lang.Object is the parent class of java hierarchy.

    -          Following are the defined methods in Object class.

    1.       public final Class getClass() : returns the Class class object.

    2.       public String toString(): Convert object to String.

    3.   public boolean equals(): Comparing this object to another object.

    4.       public int hashCode(): return the hash code of  object.

    5.       protected Object clone(): return the duplicate object.

    6.       public final void wait(): put the thread into waiting area.

    7.       public final void notify(): notify the waiting or sleeping thread.

                     8.       public final void notifyAll(): notify all the waiting and sleeping thread. 


        What is the role of break and continue keywords in java?

    -          break: break keyword can be used to jump out of the loop.

    -          continue: continue keyword can be used to break one iteration for a specific condition and continue with the next iteration.

    -          We will look at examples for a break and continue. 

    Break Example: 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class BreakStatementExample { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {           

                for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {

                      System.out.println("Value of "+ i);

                      if(i == 5) {

                            System.out.println("Before Break");

                            break;                       

                      }

                }

                System.out.println("outside loop");

          }

    } 

    OUTPUT :

    Value of 0

    Value of 1

    Value of 2

    Value of 3

    Value of 4

    Value of 5

    Before Break

    outside loop 

    Continue Example:                            

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class ContinueStatementExample { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {           

                for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {

                      System.out.println("Value of "+ i);

                      if(i == 5) {

                            System.out.println("Before continue = "+ (i + i));

                            continue;                    

                      }

                }

                System.out.println("outside loop");

          }

    }

    OUTPUT:

    Value of 0

    Value of 1

    Value of 2

    Value of 3

    Value of 4

    Value of 5

    Before continue = 10

    Value of 6

    Value of 7

    Value of 8

    Value of 9

    outside loop

        Is null keyword in java?

    -          No. null is not a keyword in java. Null is like literals like true and false in java.


        What is Actual Parameter and what is Formal Parameter?

    -          Actual Parameters: If we pass the parameters while calling a function are called Actual Parameter.

    -          Formal Parameter: If we are catching parameters in function are called formal parameters.

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class ActualAndFormalParameters { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {       

                int a = 10;

                int b = 20;      

                addition(a,b); // a and b are Actual Parameter

          }     

          public static void addition(int num1, int num2) {

                // num1 and num2 are formal parameters

          }

    }


        What is the difference between Local variable and Instance variable?

     

    Local Variable

    Instance Variable

    1.

    Local variable declares inside the method, block and constructor.

    Instance variable declared outside the method, block and constructor but inside the class.

    2.

    We have to manually initialize the local variable before use.

    When instance variable gets created default value assigned to that variable.

    3.

    Scope of local variable up to method execution.

    Instance variable scope is wider than the local variable.

     

        What is the difference between Instance variable and Class Variable?

     

    Instance Variable

    Class Variable

    1.

    The instance variable belongs to the object.

    The Class variable belongs to the class.

    2.

    Every object has its copy of the instance variable.

    The class variable is a common variable among all objects.

    3.

    Instance variable declared with data type only.

    A class variable is declared with data type and static keyword.

    4.

    Instance variable access with reference variable.

    Class variable access with the class name.


        What are the uses of this keyword? Where it is applicable and what are the rules to use this keywords?

    -          this keyword is used to refer to the current object.

    -          this keyword can be used to the invoked current class constructor.

    -          this keyword can be used to the invoked current method.

    -          this can be used to return the current class object.

    -          this can be used to pass as an argument in method as well as constructor.

     

        What are the uses of the super keyword? Where it is applicable and what are the rules to use this keywords?

    -          The super keyword can be used to refer parent class instance variable.

    -          Super keyword can be used to invoke the parent class method.

    -          Super keyword can be used to invoke parent class constructor.

     

        What are the access modifiers and their scope?

    -          There are four access modifiers which are as follows.

    1.       Default

    2.       Private

    3.       Protected

    4.       Public

    -          Scope:

    Access Modifier

    Within Class

    Within Package

    Subclass in another package

    Outside package

    Default

    Y

        Can we use static members inside the non-static area?

    -          Yes. We can use static members inside the non-static area.

    -          We can observe this in the following demo.

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class Parent {

          static int a = 10;     

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                new Parent().check();

          }     

          public void check(){

                System.out.println("Parent Class check() method = "+ a);         

          }    

    }

    Output : Parent Class check() method = 10

    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!!!
