  • Q2. What is meant by an interface in Object-Oriented Programming?
  • Ans. 

    An interface in OOP defines a contract for classes to implement, specifying methods that must be included.

    • An interface contains method signatures but no implementation details.

    • Classes can implement multiple interfaces in Java.

    • Interfaces allow for polymorphism and loose coupling in software design.

  • Ans. 

    Abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods, while interface can only have abstract methods.

    • Abstract class can have constructor, fields, and methods, while interface cannot have any of these.

    • A class can implement multiple interfaces but can only inherit from one abstract class.

    • Abstract classes are used to provide a common base for related classes, while interfaces define a contract for classes to imp...

    • It includes commonly used dependencies like spring-boot-starter-web, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa, etc.

    • The spring-boot-starter-parent also manages the versions of all dependencies to ensure compatibility.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What does the @SpringBootApplication annotation do internally?
  • Ans. 

    The @SpringBootApplication annotation is used to mark the main class of a Spring Boot application.

    • It is a combination of @Configuration, @EnableAutoConfiguration, and @ComponentScan annotations.

    • It tells Spring Boot to start adding beans based on classpath settings, other beans, and various property settings.

    • It also implicitly provides a base package for component scanning.

    • Example: @SpringBootApplication

  • Q6. Can we override or replace the embedded Tomcat server in Spring Boot?
  • Ans. 

    Yes, we can override or replace the embedded Tomcat server in Spring Boot.

    • Spring Boot allows for customization of embedded servers through configuration properties.

    • You can replace Tomcat with other embedded servers like Jetty or Undertow.

    • Clustered Index determines the physical order of data rows in a table.

    • Non-Clustered Index creates a separate structure that points back to the original table.

    • Clustered Index is faster for retrieval of data, while Non-Clustered Index is faster for retrieval of specific rows.

    • DELETE can be rolled back, while TRUNCATE cannot be rolled back.

    • DELETE triggers ON DELETE triggers, while TRUNCATE does not trigger any triggers.
