The 4 pillars of OOP are Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.
Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only necessary information.
Encapsulation: Binding data and functions together to prevent external interference.
Inheritance: Creating new classes from existing ones, inheriting properties and methods.
Polymorphism: Using a single interface to represent multiple types of objects.
Java does not support multiple inheritance, but it can be achieved using interfaces.
Java supports multiple interface inheritance.
A class can implement multiple interfaces.
Interfaces can have default methods with implementation.
Example: class A implements Interface1, Interface2 {}

Answering questions related to prime numbers, reversing strings, and palindrome numbers.
A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.
To reverse a string, you can use a loop to iterate through the string and append each character to a new string in reverse order.
Palindrome numbers are numbers that read the same backward as forward, such as 121, 1331, 1441, etc.
Exception handling in Java involves using try-catch-finally blocks to handle and manage exceptions.
Java provides a mechanism to handle runtime errors called exceptions.
The try block is used to enclose the code that might throw an exception.
The catch block is used to catch and handle the exception.
The finally block is used to execute code regardless of whether an exception occurred or not.
