Q. Implement the Factory Design Pattern.
Ans. 

The Factory Design Pattern provides an interface for creating objects, allowing subclasses to alter the type of objects created.

  • Interface: It defines an interface for creating an object, but lets subclasses decide which class to instantiate, enhancing flexibility...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 2mo ago
Q. Implement an Immutable Class
Ans. 

An immutable class ensures that its instances cannot be modified after creation, promoting thread safety and predictable behavior.

  • Final Fields: Use final fields to ensure that the state of the object cannot be changed after construction. Example: 'private final String name;'.

  • No Setters: Avoid providing setter methods to prevent modification of fields after object creation.

  • Constructor Initialization: Initialize all...

A Senior Software Engineer was asked 3mo ago
Q. What is the Factory Design Pattern?
Ans. 

The Factory Design Pattern creates objects without specifying the exact class, promoting loose coupling and flexibility.

  • Encapsulates object creation, allowing for easier maintenance and scalability.

Q. What is constructor overloading?
Ans. 

Constructor overloading allows a class to have multiple constructors with different parameters for flexibility in object creation.

  • Constructor overloading enables creating objects with different initial values.

  • Example: A class 'Point' can have constructors like 'Point()' for default, 'Point(int x, int y)' for specific coordinates.

  • It enhances code readability and usability by allowing varied initialization.
