Ans. 

Abstraction is a fundamental concept in software development that simplifies complex systems by hiding unnecessary details.

  • It allows developers to focus on high-level functionalities without worrying about implementation specifics.

  • Example: In a car, the driver uses the steering wheel and pedals without needing to understand the engine mechanics.

  • In programming, an abstract class can define methods that must be impl...

Q. Explain the concept of string pool.
Ans. 

String pool is a mechanism in programming languages where strings are stored in a shared memory area to optimize memory usage.

  • String literals are stored in a pool to avoid duplicate storage.

  • Strings are immutable in the pool, meaning they cannot be changed.

  • When a new string is created, the JVM checks if it already exists in the pool before creating a new instance.

A Software Development Analyst was asked
Q. What is the relationship between the hashCode() and equals() methods?
Ans. 

Hashcode() and equals() are methods used in Java to compare objects.

  • Hashcode() returns an integer value that represents the object's memory address.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interview was average. After the F2F interview I waited for about 15 days i didn't get any response , i followed up with the spoc hr but she didn't reply to my mails, whatsapp messages. I checked my status on accenture website almost every single day.
After about 25 days without any discussion with me about the compensation the hr released my offerletter. Frankly speaking I was disappointed by the overall recruitment process.
When I called the hr for discussing salary revision she said and i quote " You should be thankful that we are giving you x% hike and you should not complaint. But if you have issues you can reject the offer as we have many candidates who are ready to join at lower salary than yours, have a nice day" and she cut the call.
I couldn't believe that an hr of such a big organization would boast about how many people are willing to join them and they don't care if you accept or reject their offer.
To be honest I never had such an experience with any hr in my carrier.
I contemplated for few days then i politely declined the offer.
Accenture might be very good organization for many but I think it wasn't for me :)
My advice to all the potential candidates would be to pay close attention to your virtue and values and if it aligns with the organisations values then do join the company else keep looking because it won't be the only company you would interview for.
Don't hesitate to put your self first.
All the best.
