The interviewer was really cool. He realized that I mostly work on java applications so he chose to ask me stuff related to that. He didn't want me to know the answer well but just wanted me to approach to it, maybe think more. He went through my resume back and forth and asked mostly about all my projects and their logic and how could I take them to the next level.
Tips: Be confident. Its okay not to know any answer, just try giving it a shot in the approach.

  • Q1. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in Java?
  • Ans.

    • Interface can only have abstract methods and constants.

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

    • Example: Abstract class - Animal with abstract method 'eat', Interface - Flyable with m

    Garbage collection in Java is the process of automatically managing memory by deallocating objects that are no longer needed.

    • Garbage collection helps in preventing memory leaks by reclaiming memory used by objects that are no longer referenced.

    • Java uses a garbage collector to automatically manage memory, unlike languages like C++ where memory management is manual.

Just try making a smart guess when you have a doubt by elimination or something.

You could try giving a shot in a similar situation :P

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had 6 rounds of technical interview . Each round of 1 hr or more. In all the rounds I was asked to write proper programs (Sometimes on HackerRank, sometimes on an IDE, sometimes just on a text editor.) . Questions were designed to test problem solving abilities and proper use to dataStructures and coding basics. Lot of emphasis on writing efficient program with least time complexity possible.

During preparations, its important to understand basics of different dataStructures and how to efficiently use it in your programs . For practicing interview problems, I referred leetcode and geeksforgeeks . Solving different kind of problems from these websites really helped me. Dynamic Programming is also an important area from where lot of problems are asked in interview.
