    Interview questions on inner classes in java for experienced

            What is method local inner class?

    -          We can declare classes inside a method such types of inner classes are called method local inner class.

    -          Method local inner class can be accessible only inside a method where it is declared.

    -          Please refer to the below example. 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class MethodLocalInnerClassDemo {           

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                MethodLocalInnerClassDemo demo = new MethodLocalInnerClassDemo();

                demo.invokeMethodInnerClass();           

          }     

          public void invokeMethodInnerClass() {

                class Inner{

                      public void sum(int num1, int num2) {

                            System.out.println("Addition is "+ (num1+num2));

                      }

                }          

                Inner inner = new Inner();

                inner.sum(100, 200);

          }    

    }

     

            What is static nested class?

    -          We can declare an inner class with a static modifier such types of inner classes are called a static nested class.

    -          In the case of regular inner class without the existing outer class object there is no chance of existing inner class object i.e. inner class object is strongly associated with an outer class object.

    -          In the case of static nested classes without the existing outer class object there may be a chance of existing inner class object. Hence, Static nested class object is not strongly associated with an outer class object.

    -          Please refer to the below example.

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class StaticNestedClassDemo { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {

                Nested n = new Nested();

                n.m1();

          }     

          static class Nested{

                public void m1() {

                      System.out.println("Nested Class.");

                }

          }    

    }

            Can we declare constructor inside inner class?

    -          Yes, we can declare a constructor inside the inner class.

    -          Please refer to the below example. 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class Outer { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {           

          }     

          class Inner{

                int a;

                int b;           

                public Inner(int a, int b) {

                      this.a = a;

                      this.b = b;

                }          

          }

    }

     

            Can we declare constructor inside anonymous inner class?

    -          No, we cannot declare a constructor inside an anonymous inner class.

    -          Anonymous inner class doesn’t have any name and the constructor name should be the same as the class name. If the class name does not exist then how can we create a constructor?

     

            What is the difference between Regular Inner Class and Anonymous Inner Class?

     

    Regular Inner Class

    Anonymous Inner Class

    1.

    Regular inner class can implement any number of interfaces at a time.

    Anonymous inner class can implement only one interface at a time.

    2.

    Regular inner class can extend only one class and implements multiple interfaces.

    Anonymous inner class either can extend a class or implement only one interface.

    3.

    Regular inner class can have multiple constructors.

    Anonymous inner class cannot have any constructor.

    4.

    If the requirement is not temporary use then go for regular inner class.

    If the requirement is temporary use then go for anonymous inner class.

     

            What is the difference between Regular Inner Class and Static Inner Class?

     

    Regular Inner Class

    Static Inner Class

    1.

    Outer and Inner regular classes are strongly associated with each other.

    Outer and nested static classes are not strongly associated with each other.

    2.

    Static members are not allowed. i.e. static methods and static fields. Still, if you want to declare a static field inside the inner class then you must declare with the final keyword as well and assign some value to it.

    e.g. static final int  c = 10;

    Static members are allowed.

    3.

    We cannot declare main() inside the inner class so we can’t run directly through the command prompt.

    We can declare the main method inside the inner class so we can call or run directly through the command prompt.

    7.       

            Can we access non-static class members inside static inner class?

    -          No, non-static class members are not allowed inside static nested or inner class.

    -          Even it is applicable to the outer class as well. Inside the static area, only static members are allowed.

     

            How will you instantiate the Inner class?

    -          There are three ways to instantiate an inner class.

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class Outer { 

          static int i = 0;     

          class Inner{

                public void m1() {

                  System.out.println("Inner class m1() called. Counter = "+ ++i);

                }

          }

    } 

    package simplifiedjava.crackedInterview; 

    public class InstantiatingInnerClassDemo { 

          public static void main(String[] args) {           

                // First way to create inner class instance.         

                Outer o = new Outer();

                Outer.Inner i = o.new Inner();

                i.m1();           

                // Second way to create inner class instance.

                Outer.Inner i2 = new Outer().new Inner();

                i2.m1();           

                // Third way to create inner class instance.

                new Outer().new Inner().m1();

          }

    } 

    Output:

    Inner class m1() called. Counter = 1

    Inner class m1() called. Counter = 2

    Inner class m1() called. Counter = 3

    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!!!
