JAVA INTERVIEW QUESTION AND
ANSWER
Q1. What is the difference between an Abstract class and Interface?
A1. Abstract classes may have some executable methods and methods left
unimplemented. Interfaces contain no implementation code.
2. An class can implement any number of interfaces, but subclass at most
one abstract class.
3. An abstract class can have nonabstract methods. All methods of an
interface are
abstract.
4. An abstract class can have instance variables. An interface cannot.
5. An abstract class can define constructor. An interface cannot.
6. An abstract class can have any visibility: public, protected, private or none
(package). An interface's visibility must be public or none (package).
7. An abstract class inherits from Object and includes methods such as
clone() and
equals().

Q2.WHAT ARE CHECKED AND UNCH
ECKED EXCEPTIONS?
• Java defines two kinds of exceptions :
• Checked exceptions : Exceptions that inherit from
the Exception class are
checked exceptions. Client code has to handle the checked exceptions
thrown by
the API, either in a catch clause or by forwarding it outward with the throws
clause.
Examples - SQLException, IOxception.
• Unchecked exceptions : RuntimeException also extends from Exception.
However,
all of the exceptions that inherit from RuntimeException get special treatment.
There is no requirement for the client code to deal with them, and hence they
are
called unchecked exceptions. Example Unchecked exceptions are
NullPointerException, OutOfMemoryError, DivideByZeroException typica
lly,
programming errors.

Q4.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWE
EN C++ & JAVA?
Well as Bjarne Stroustrup says "..despite the syntactic
similarities, C++ and Java are very different languages. In
many ways, Java seems closer to Smalltalk than to C++..".
Here are few I discovered:
• Java is multithreaded
• Java has no pointers
• Java has automatic memory management (garbage
collection)
• Java is platform independent (Stroustrup may differ by
saying "Java is a platform"
• Java has built-in support for comment documentation
• Java has no operator overloading
• Java doesn’t provide multiple inheritance
• There are no destructors in Java

QUESTION AND ANSWER
 Q5.Why java is not a 100% oops?
Many people say this because Java uses primitive
types such as int, char, double. But then all the rest
are objects. Confusing question.
Q6.What is a resource bundle?
In its simplest form, a resource bundle is
represented by a text file containing keys and a text
value for each key.

Q.7.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETW
EEN PREEMPTIVE SCHEDULING AND T
IME SLICING?
 Under preemptive scheduling, the highest priority
task executes until it enters the waiting or dead
states or a higher priority task comes into
existence. Under time slicing, a task executes for a
predefined slice of time and then reenters the pool
of ready tasks. The scheduler then determines
which task should execute next, based on priority
and other factors.

Q.8.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN T
HE BOOLEAN & OPERATOR AND THE && O
PERATOR?
• If an expression involving the Boolean & operator is
evaluated, both operands are
evaluated. Then the & operator is applied to the
operand. When an expression involving the &&
operator is evaluated, the first operand is
evaluated. If the first operand returns a value of true
then the second operand is evaluated. The &&
operator is then applied to the first and second
operands. If the first operand evaluates to false, the
evaluation of the second operand is skipped.

Q.9WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE WA
IT(), NOTIFY(), AND NOTIFYALL() METH
ODS?
• The wait(),notify(), and notifyAll() methods are used
to provide an efficient way for threadsto wait for a s
hared resource. When a thread executes an object'
s wait() method, it entersthe waiting state. It only en
ters the ready state after another thread invokes the
object'snotify() or notifyAll() methods.

Q10.HOW ARE OBSERVER AND OBSER
VABLE USED?
• Objects that subclass the Observable class
maintain a list of observers. When an Observable
object is updated it invokes the update() method of
each of its observers to notify the observers that it
has changed state. The Observer interface is
implemented by objects that observe Observable
objects.
