Synechron Java Developer Interview Questions and Answers

Updated 12 Dec 2024

9 Interview questions

A Java Developer was asked 6mo ago
Q. What is the difference between a class and an object in Java?
Ans. 

A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects, while an object is an instance of a class.

  • A class defines the properties and behaviors of objects, while an object is a specific instance of a class.

  • Classes can be used to create multiple objects with similar characteristics.

  • Objects have state (attributes) and behavior (methods) defined by the class.

  • Example: Class 'Car' defines properties like 'color' and 'm...

A Java Developer was asked 10mo ago
Q. Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.
Ans. 

Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of the pointers between nodes.

  • Iterative Approach: Use three pointers (prev, current, next) to reverse links.

  • Example: For list 1 -> 2 -> 3, after reversal it becomes 3 -> 2 -> 1.

  • Recursive Approach: Reverse the rest of the list and adjust pointers.

  • Example: Base case when current is null, then set head to prev.

A Java Developer was asked
Q. Write code for a producer-consumer problem in Java.
Ans. 

Producer-consumer problem is a classic synchronization problem in multithreading.

  • Use wait() and notify() methods for synchronization

  • Create a shared buffer to store data between producer and consumer

  • Ensure proper handling of synchronization to avoid race conditions

A Java Developer was asked
Q. What is a singleton?
Ans. 

Singleton is a design pattern in Java where a class is restricted to have only one instance.

  • Singleton pattern ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.

  • It is commonly used in scenarios where a single instance of a class is required to control actions throughout a system.

  • Example: Database connection classes, Logger classes, Configuration classes.

A Java Developer was asked
Q. How do you remove duplicates from an ArrayList?
Ans. 

To remove duplicates from an ArrayList of strings, use a HashSet to store unique elements.

  • Create a HashSet and add all elements from the ArrayList to it.

  • Create a new ArrayList and add all elements from the HashSet to it.

  • The new ArrayList will contain only unique elements.

A Java Developer was asked
Q. How do you find the sum of all odd numbers in a list using streams?
Ans. 

Using Java stream, find the sum of all odd numbers in a list.

  • Use the filter() method to filter out the odd numbers from the list.

  • Use the mapToInt() method to convert the filtered numbers to IntStream.

  • Use the sum() method to calculate the sum of the odd numbers.

A Java Developer was asked
Q. What are checked and unchecked exceptions?
Ans. 

Checked exceptions are exceptions that must be declared in a method's signature or handled using try-catch blocks.

  • Checked exceptions are checked at compile-time.

  • They are typically used for exceptional conditions that can be reasonably recovered from.

  • Examples of checked exceptions in Java include IOException, SQLException, and ClassNotFoundException.

A Java Developer was asked
Q. How do HashSet and HashMap work internally?
Ans. 

HashSet and HashMap are data structures in Java that store elements using hashing techniques.

  • HashSet internally uses a HashMap to store its elements.

  • HashSet uses the elements as keys and stores them in the HashMap with a dummy value.

  • HashMap uses a hash function to convert the key into an index of an array where the value is stored.

  • HashMap uses separate chaining or open addressing to handle collisions.

  • Both HashSet ...

A Java Developer was asked
Q. How many types of lock are there in java and how to achieve multithreading.
Ans. 

There are two types of locks in Java - synchronized and ReentrantLock. Multithreading can be achieved by using these locks.

  • Two types of locks in Java are synchronized and ReentrantLock

  • Synchronized keyword can be used to achieve synchronization in Java

  • ReentrantLock provides more flexibility and control over locking mechanisms

  • Example: synchronized block - synchronized(obj) { // code }

  • Example: ReentrantLock - Reentra...

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

  • Ans. 

    Bubble Sort algorithm is used to sort an array of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order.

    • Implement the Bubble Sort algorithm to sort the array in place.

    • Compare adjacent elements and swap them if they are in the wrong order.

    • Repeat this process until the array is sorted.

    • Time complexity of Bubble Sort is O(n^2) in the worst case.

    • Example: For input [6, 2, 8, 4, 10], the output should be [2, 4, 6, 8, 10].
