    HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and uses hashing to efficiently retrieve values.

    • HashMap internally uses an array of linked lists to store key-value pairs.

    • When a key-value pair is added, the key is hashed to determine the index in the array where it will be stored.

    • If multiple keys hash to the same index, a collision occurs and the key-value pairs are stored in a linked list at that index.

    Threads are lightweight processes within a single process, sharing memory space. Processes are independent instances of a program.

    • Threads share memory space, making communication between threads faster and more efficient.

    • Processes have their own memory space, making them more isolated and secure.

    • Threads are faster to create and terminate compared to processes.

    • Processes are more stable and reliable, as a crash in one pr...

  • Q4. What do you understand by autowiring in Spring Boot, and can you name the different modes of it?
  • Ans. 

    Autowiring in Spring Boot is a feature that allows Spring to automatically inject dependencies into a Spring bean.

    • Autowiring eliminates the need for explicit bean wiring in the Spring configuration file.

    • There are different modes of autowiring in Spring Boot: 'byName', 'byType', 'constructor', 'autodetect', and 'no'.

    • For example, in 'byName' mode, Spring looks for a bean with the same name as the property that needs to b

  • 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 is often placed on the main class that contains the main method to bootstrap the Spring Boot application.

This round focused more on Multithreading concepts from Java and also some core concepts from OOPS.

  • Q1. What is a thread in Java?
  • Ans. 

    A thread in Java is a lightweight sub-process that allows concurrent execution within a single process.

    • Threads allow multiple tasks to be executed concurrently in a Java program.

    • Each thread has its own stack and program counter, but share the same memory space.

    • Threads can be created by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface.

    • Example: Thread t1 = new Thread(new MyRunnable()); t1.start();

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What are the start() and run() methods of the Thread class in Java?
  • Ans. 

    The start() method is used to start a new thread, while the run() method contains the code that will be executed by the thread.

    • start() method is used to start a new thread and calls the run() method internally

    • run() method contains the code that will be executed by the thread

    • It is recommended to override the run() method with the desired functionality

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is the difference between the Thread class and the Runnable interface when creating a thread in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Thread class is a class in Java that extends the Thread class, while Runnable interface is an interface that implements the run() method.

    • Thread class extends the Thread class, while Runnable interface implements the run() method.

    • A class can only extend one class, so using Runnable interface allows for more flexibility in the class hierarchy.

    • Using Runnable interface separates the task from the thread, promoting better d...

  • Q4. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in OOP?
  • 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 implementation.

    • A class can only extend one abstract class, but can implement multiple interfaces.

    • Abstract classes are used to define common behavior among subclasses, while interfaces are used to define a contract for cla...

  • Q5. What is the garbage collector in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Garbage collector in Java is a built-in mechanism that automatically manages memory by reclaiming unused objects.

    • Garbage collector runs in the background to identify and delete objects that are no longer needed.

    • It helps prevent memory leaks and optimize memory usage.

    • Examples of garbage collectors in Java include Serial, Parallel, CMS, and G1.
