Q. What is the difference between static and dynamic binding in Java?
Ans. 

Static binding occurs at compile time, while dynamic binding happens at runtime in Java.

  • Static binding is resolved during compile time, e.g., method overloading.

  • Dynamic binding is resolved during runtime, e.g., method overriding.

  • Static binding is faster as it doesn't involve runtime overhead.

  • Dynamic binding allows for polymorphism, enabling flexible code behavior.

Q. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in Java?
Ans. 

Abstract classes and interfaces are key concepts in Java for defining abstract types and enforcing contracts for classes.

  • An abstract class can have both abstract methods (without implementation) and concrete methods (with implementation).

  • An interface can only have abstract methods (prior to Java 8) and default methods (from Java 8 onwards).

  • A class can extend only one abstract class but can implement multiple inter...

Q. Write Selenium code to generate a StaleElementReferenceException.
Ans. 

A Stale Element Reference Exception occurs when a web element is no longer attached to the DOM in Selenium.

  • Element Re-fetching: If you store a reference to a web element and the DOM changes, re-fetch the element before interacting with it.

  • Example: After clicking a button that causes a page refresh, the previously stored element reference will be stale.

  • Wait for Element: Use WebDriverWait to ensure the element is pr...

Q. Write a Selenium script to fetch data from a table using its index.
Ans. 

Selenium can fetch data from a table using index by locating elements and iterating through rows and cells.

  • Locate the table using XPath or CSS selectors, e.g., driver.findElement(By.xpath('//table')).

  • Use findElements to get all rows: List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElements(By.xpath('//table/tbody/tr')).

Q. What is the difference between the PUT and PATCH methods?
Ans. 

PUT replaces a resource, while PATCH updates a resource partially.

  • PUT is idempotent; multiple identical requests have the same effect as a single request.

  • PATCH is not necessarily idempotent; repeated requests may yield different results.

  • Example of PUT: Updating a user's profile by sending the entire profile data.

  • Example of PATCH: Updating just the user's email address without affecting other fields.
