Q1. Explain the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList in Java. When would you choose one over the other?
Ans. 
ArrayList is a resizable array, while LinkedList is a doubly linked list. Choose based on performance needs.
• ArrayList: Faster for random access (O(1)). Example: list.get(5);

• LinkedList: Faster for insertions/deletions (O(1)) at both ends. Example: list.addFirst('A');

• ArrayList: Uses less memory overhead compared to LinkedList.

• LinkedList: Better for frequent insertions/deletions in the middle of the list.

• ArrayList: Requir...read more

Q3. What is the difference between == and .equals() in Java? When should each be used, and what issues can arise from improper usage?
Ans. 
== checks reference equality, while .equals() checks value equality in Java. Use .equals() for content comparison.
• == compares object references (memory addresses). Example: String a = new String('test'); String b = new String('test'); a == b returns false.

• .equals() compares actual content of objects. Example: a.equals(b) returns true.

• Use == for primitive types (int, char, etc.) and .equals() for objects.

• Improper use of...read more

Q4. How does the Java garbage collector work? Can you describe the different types of garbage collection algorithms available in Java?
Ans. 
Java's garbage collector automatically manages memory by reclaiming unused objects, improving performance and preventing memory leaks.
• Garbage Collection (GC) is the process of automatically identifying and disposing of objects that are no longer needed.

• Java uses several GC algorithms, including Serial, Parallel, CMS (Concurrent Mark-Sweep), and G1 (Garbage-First).

• The Serial GC is a simple, single-threaded collector sui...read more

Q5. What are the main features of Java 8? Can you explain how lambdas and the Stream API have changed the way Java applications are written?
Ans. 
Java 8 introduced lambdas, Stream API, and other features that enhance functional programming and improve code readability.
• Lambdas: Enable concise representation of functional interfaces. Example: (x, y) -> x + y.

• Stream API: Allows processing sequences of elements (collections) in a functional style. Example: list.stream().filter(x -> x > 10).collect(Collectors.toList()).

• Default Methods: Interfaces can have me...read more

Q6. Describe the differences between checked and unchecked exceptions in Java. Provide examples and explain how to handle them properly.
Ans. 
Checked exceptions must be declared or handled; unchecked exceptions do not require explicit handling.
• Checked exceptions are subclasses of Exception but not of RuntimeException.

• Example of checked exception: IOException, which must be caught or declared.

• Unchecked exceptions are subclasses of RuntimeException.

• Example of unchecked exception: NullPointerException, which does not need to be declared.

• Checked exceptions are t...read more

Q7. What is the Java Memory Model, and how does it affect multithreading and synchronization? How does volatile help ensure memory visibility?
Ans. 
The Java Memory Model defines how threads interact through memory, ensuring visibility and ordering of shared variables.
• The Java Memory Model (JMM) specifies how threads interact with memory, ensuring consistency and visibility of shared variables.

• It defines rules for visibility, atomicity, and ordering of operations in a multithreaded environment.

• Without proper synchronization, threads may see stale or inconsistent da...read more

Q8. Can you explain the difference between method overloading and method overriding in Java? Provide examples where each should be used.
Ans. 
Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters; overriding allows subclass methods to replace superclass methods.
• Method Overloading: Same method name, different parameter types or counts.

• Example of Overloading: 'int add(int a, int b)' and 'double add(double a, double b)'.

• Use Overloading for convenience and readability when performing similar operations.

• Method Overriding: Same met...read more

Q9. What are functional interfaces in Java? How do they work with lambda expressions? Provide an example of a custom functional interface.
Ans. 
Functional interfaces in Java are interfaces with a single abstract method, enabling lambda expressions for concise code.
• A functional interface has exactly one abstract method.

• They can have multiple default or static methods.

• Common examples include Runnable, Callable, and Comparator.

• Lambda expressions provide a clear and concise way to implement functional interfaces.

• Example of a custom functional interface: @Functiona...read more

Q10. What is a Java Stream, and how does it differ from an Iterator? Explain how Streams can be used to process collections efficiently.
Ans. 
Java Streams provide a functional approach to processing sequences of elements, unlike Iterators which are imperative.
• Streams are part of the Java 8+ API, enabling functional-style operations on collections.

• Unlike Iterators, Streams do not store data; they process data on-the-fly.

• Streams support operations like map, filter, and reduce, allowing for concise and readable code.

• Example: List<String> names = Arrays.as...read more

Q11. Explain the concept of immutability in Java. How does the String class achieve immutability, and what are the advantages of immutable objects?
Ans. 
Immutability in Java means objects cannot be modified after creation, enhancing security and performance.
• 1. Immutability: Once created, an object's state cannot be changed.

• 2. String Class: Strings in Java are immutable; any modification creates a new String object.

• 3. Example: String s1 = "Hello"; s1 = s1 + " World!"; // s1 now points to a new String object.

• 4. Advantages: Thread-safe, easier to cache, and can be used as...read more

Q12. What is the difference between final, finally, and finalize in Java? Provide examples to illustrate their usage.
Ans. 
final, finally, and finalize serve different purposes in Java: variable declaration, exception handling, and garbage collection respectively.
• final: Used to declare constants. Example: final int MAX_VALUE = 100;

• finally: Block that executes after try-catch, regardless of exceptions. Example: try { ... } catch { ... } finally { ... }

• finalize: Method called by the garbage collector before an object is removed. Example: pro

Q14. What are Java annotations, and how are they used in frameworks like Spring? Explain the difference between built-in and custom annotations.
Ans. 
Java annotations provide metadata for classes, methods, and fields, enhancing functionality in frameworks like Spring.
• Annotations are metadata that provide information about the program but are not part of the program itself.

• In Spring, annotations like @Component, @Service, and @Controller are used for defining beans and their roles.

• Built-in annotations include @Override, @Deprecated, and @SuppressWarnings, which serve...read more

Q15. How do Java Streams handle parallel processing? What are the potential pitfalls of using parallel streams, and how can they be mitigated?
Ans. 
Java Streams enable parallel processing for efficient data handling but come with potential pitfalls that need careful management.
• Java Streams can be processed in parallel using the 'parallelStream()' method, which divides the workload across multiple threads.

• Parallel streams utilize the Fork/Join framework, allowing tasks to be split and executed concurrently, improving performance for large datasets.

• Potential pitfall...read more
