Q1. What are Java 8 streams?
Ans. 
A stream is an abstraction to express data processing queries in a declarative way. 

A Stream, which represents a sequence of data objects & series of operations on that data is a data pipeline that is not related to Java I/O Streams does not hold any data permanently.
The key interface is "java.util.stream.Stream". It accepts Functional Interfaces so that lambdas can be passed. Streams support a fluent interfac

Q3. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in OOP?
Ans. 
Answer :
The differences between Abstract Class and Interface are as follows:

Abstract Class:

1) Abstract classes have a default constructor and it is called whenever the concrete subclass is instantiated.
2) It contains Abstract methods as well as Non-Abstract methods.
3) The class which extends the Abstract class shouldn’t require the implementation of all the methods, only Abstract
methods need to be implemented in the co...read more

Q4. What do you mean by data encapsulation?
Ans. 
1) Data Encapsulation is an Object-Oriented Programming concept of hiding the data attributes and their behaviors in a single unit.

2) It helps developers to follow modularity while developing software by ensuring that each object is independent of other objects by having its own methods, attributes, and functionalities.

3) It is used for the security of the private properties of an object and hence serves the purpose of

Q5. Can static methods be overridden?
Ans. 
1) No. Declaration of static methods having the same signature can be done in the subclass but run time polymorphism can not take place in such cases.

2) Overriding or dynamic polymorphism occurs during the runtime, but the static methods are loaded and looked up at the compile time statically. Hence, these methods cant be overridden.

Q6. What is the difference between CHAR and VARCHAR2 data types in SQL?
Ans. 
Both of these data types are used for characters, but varchar2 is used for character strings of variable length, whereas char is used for character strings of fixed length. For example, if we specify the type as char(5) then we will not be allowed to store a string of any other length in this variable, but if we specify the type of this variable as varchar2(5) then we will be allowed to store strings of variable length...read more

Q7. What is a view in SQL?
Ans. 
Views in SQL are a kind of virtual table. A view also has rows and columns as they are on a real table in the database. We can create a view by selecting fields from one or more tables present in the database. A View can either have all the rows of a table or specific rows based on certain conditions. 

The CREATE VIEW statement of SQL is used for creating views.

In this round, the interviewer asked me questions around BDD Frameworks, Cucumber and C#. At the end, I was also asked some basic questions revolving around SQL.

Q1. Can you explain briefly how Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) works?
Ans. 
There are majorly three steps in the working of BDD. They are as follows :-

1) Behaviour Description : We list down the features of our application first in the feature file.

2) Making the Step Definition file : The mapping between each step of the scenario defined in the feature file and a
code of the function to be executed is stored in the steps definition file.

3) Testing and running : We run the test cases to check if...read more

Q2. What are annotations in Cucumber?
Ans. 
An annotation is a type of text that has been pre-defined and has a specified meaning. It tells the compiler/interpreter

Example : Given I have an account on Interviewbit.

2) When : It establishes the starting point for any test scenario.

Q3. How can you run a selected test from a group of tests in Cucumber?
Ans. 
1) We may execute a single test from a set of tests in the Cucumber framework using the tags idea.

2) This is found in the TestRunner file's @CucumberOptions section. With the use of the @t keyword, we may tag a scenario in the feature file. 

3) A scenario can have one or more tags within the feature file. We can separate test scenarios with the assistance of tagging. 

4) We must pass the value within the tags a...read more

Q4. What is the difference between an Array and an ArrayList in C#?
Ans. 
An array is a collection of similar variables clubbed together under one common name. While ArrayList is a collection of objects that can be indexed individually. With ArrayList you can access a number of features like dynamic memory allocation, adding, searching, and sorting items in the ArrayList. 

1) When declaring an array the size of the items is fixed therefore, the memory allocation is fixed. But with ArrayL...read more
