Round 3 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. How do you avoid method overriding?
  • Ans. 

    To avoid method overriding, make the method final or private.

    • Declare the method as final to prevent it from being overridden in subclasses.

    • Declare the method as private to hide it from subclasses.

    • Use the @Override annotation to ensure that a method is actually overriding a superclass method.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is the 'finalize' keyword for?
  • Ans. 

    The 'finalize' keyword is used in Java to perform cleanup operations before an object is garbage collected.

    • The 'finalize' method is called by the garbage collector before reclaiming an object's memory.

    • It can be used to release resources like closing files or sockets.

    • It is not recommended to rely on 'finalize' for resource cleanup as it is not guaranteed to be called.
