  • Q4. What is observer pattern
  • Ans. 

    Observer pattern is a design pattern in which an object maintains a list of its dependents and notifies them automatically of any state changes.

    • Also known as publish-subscribe pattern

    • Used in event-driven systems

    • Allows loose coupling between objects

    • Example: A weather station broadcasts weather updates to multiple displays

    • Example: A stock market ticker notifies multiple investors of stock price changes

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is singleton
  • Ans. 

    Singleton is a design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a single object.

    • Singleton ensures that only one instance of a class exists in the entire application.

    • It provides a global point of access to the instance.

    • Commonly used in scenarios where a single instance needs to coordinate actions across the system.

    • Example: Database connection manager, logger, configuration manager.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. What is immutable in java
  • Ans. 

    Immutable in Java refers to objects whose state cannot be changed after creation.

    • String, Integer, and other wrapper classes are immutable in Java.

    • Immutable objects are thread-safe and can be shared without synchronization.

    • To create an immutable class, make all fields final and private, and don't provide setters.

    • Examples of immutable classes in Java include LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. How do you create immutable in java
  • Ans. 

    Creating immutable in Java

    • Use final keyword to make variables immutable

    • Use private constructor to prevent object modification

    • Use defensive copying to prevent modification of mutable objects

    • Use enum to create immutable objects

    • Use String class to create immutable strings

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Where have you used immutable in java
  • Q9. What is dependency injection
  • Ans. 

    Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows objects to receive dependencies rather than creating them internally.

    • It helps to decouple the code and makes it more testable and maintainable.

    • It allows for easier swapping of dependencies without changing the code.

    • There are three types of dependency injection: constructor injection, setter injection, and interface injection.

    • Example: Instead of creating a database co...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q10. What is CORS
  • Ans. 

    CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. It is a security feature implemented in web browsers to restrict access to resources from different origins.

    • CORS allows web servers to specify which origins are allowed to access its resources

    • It is implemented using HTTP headers

    • CORS prevents malicious websites from accessing sensitive data from other websites

    • Examples of resources that may be restricted by CORS include cook

  • Answered by AI
  • Q11. How do you overcome CORS
  • Ans. 

    CORS can be overcome by configuring the server to allow cross-origin requests.

    • Configure the server to include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

    • Use JSONP (JSON with Padding) to bypass CORS restrictions

    • Use a proxy server to make the request on behalf of the client

    • Use a browser extension to disable CORS restrictions during development

    • Use a server-side proxy to forward requests to the target server
