- Q9. OOPs concepts
- Q10. Explain inheritance
- Ans.
Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a new class is created by inheriting properties of an existing class.
Inheritance allows code reuse and promotes code organization.
The existing class is called the parent or superclass, and the new class is called the child or subclass.
The child class inherits all the properties and methods of the parent class and can also add its own unique properties and ...
- Q11. Difference between finally , finalize and final
- Ans.
finally is a keyword used in try-catch block, finalize is a method in Object class, and final is a keyword used for declaring constants.
finally is used to execute a block of code after try-catch block
finalize is called by garbage collector before destroying an object
final is used to declare a constant variable or to make a class uninheritable
- Q12. Private vs final keyword in considerance with member functions in an application offered to the user
- Ans.
Private keyword restricts access to member functions within the class while final keyword prevents overriding of functions.
Private keyword is used to hide the implementation details of a class from the user.
Final keyword is used to prevent the user from overriding a function in a subclass.
Using private and final keywords together can ensure that the implementation details of a class are not modified by the user.
- Q13. Write an interface
- Ans.
An interface defines a set of methods that a class must implement.
An interface is declared using the 'interface' keyword.
All methods in an interface are public and abstract by default.
A class can implement multiple interfaces.
Interfaces can also extend other interfaces.
Example: public interface MyInterface { void myMethod(); }
- Q14. Difference between Abstract class and Interface
- Ans.
Abstract class is a class with some implementation while Interface is a contract with no implementation.
Abstract class can have constructors while Interface cannot
Abstract class can have non-abstract methods while Interface cannot
A class can implement multiple interfaces but can only inherit from one abstract class
Abstract class is used when there is a need for common functionality among related classes while Interface...
- Q15. Inheritance types in Java
- Ans.
Inheritance types in Java
Java supports single and multiple inheritance through classes and interfaces respectively
Single inheritance is when a class extends only one parent class
Multiple inheritance is when a class implements multiple interfaces
Java also supports hierarchical inheritance where multiple classes extend a single parent class
Java does not support multiple inheritance through classes to avoid the diamond pr
- Q16. Order of multiple catch blocks in a single try block in java. Will it compile if the general catch was before the specific one?
- Ans.
Order of catch blocks in a try block in Java
Specific catch blocks should come before general catch blocks
If general catch block comes before specific catch block, it will result in a compile-time error
If multiple catch blocks are present, only the first matching catch block will be executed
- Q17. What do you know about Garbage collection
- Ans.
Garbage collection is an automatic memory management process that frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer in use.
Garbage collection is used in programming languages like Java, C#, and Python.
It helps prevent memory leaks and reduces the risk of crashes due to memory exhaustion.
Garbage collection works by identifying objects that are no longer in use and freeing up the memory they occupy.
There are differe...

JSON is used to transmit data between a server and a web application, as an alternative to XML.
It is easy to read and write for humans and easy to parse and generate for machines.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C family of languages.
Example: {"name"
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The test had 50 questions which were to be answered in 50 minutes. The test is not very difficult if you got basic skills in aptitude, but the most important thing is managing time. The level of difficulty was moderate.
Tips: Do not waste time on verbal questions which have a direct answer ( synonyms and antonyms) which you are not very sure of.
Just try making a smart guess when you have a doubt by elimination or something.
Duration: 50 minutes
Total Questions: 50
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I wouldn't say it went great but it was fine. I did not think I would clear it as for most of the questions the interviewer seemed disappointed and wanted more out of me.
Tips: Keep smiling.
Only put things which you are thorough about, in your resume.
The interviewer too doesn't know everything, so just be confident in whatever you say-the interviewer might get convinced.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 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.
Skills: Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Basics, Basics Of Machine Learning, Ability To Analyse, Ability To Think Of Creative Solutions, Ability To Think Beyond Boundaries, Ability To Convince, Database Management, Java Programming
College Name: Amrita School Of Engineering, Coimbatore
Funny Moments: I had mentioned Japanese as languages known in my resume. During the HR interview , I was asked to tell "How are you ?" in Japanese. I knew that the interviewer didn't know any of that language but I was a little scared to just tell anything.
You could try giving a shot in a similar situation :P

- Q1. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in Java?
- Ans.
Abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods, while interface can only have abstract methods.
Abstract class can have constructors, member variables, and methods with implementation.
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
- Q2. What is the difference between 'final', 'finally', and 'finalize' in Java?
- Ans.
final is a keyword used to declare constants, finally is a block used in exception handling, and finalize is a method used for cleanup.
final is a keyword used to declare constants in Java, meaning the value cannot be changed once assigned. Example: final int x = 10;
finally is a block used in exception handling to ensure a piece of code is always executed, whether an exception is thrown or not. Example: try { // code } ...
- Q3. What is the difference between the private and final access modifiers in Java?
- Ans.
Private restricts access to the class itself, while final prevents inheritance and method overriding.
Private access modifier restricts access to the class itself, while final access modifier prevents inheritance and method overriding.
Private members are only accessible within the same class, while final classes cannot be extended and final methods cannot be overridden.
Example: private int num; - num can only be accesse...
- Q4. What are the steps for establishing a JDBC connection?
- Ans.
Establishing a JDBC connection involves loading the driver, creating a connection, creating a statement, executing queries, and handling exceptions.
Load the JDBC driver using Class.forName() method
Create a connection using DriverManager.getConnection() method
Create a statement using connection.createStatement() method
Execute queries using statement.executeQuery() method
Handle exceptions using try-catch blocks
- Q5. What is JSON?
- Ans.
JSON is a lightweight data interchange format used to store and transmit data between a server and a web application.
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation.
It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.
JSON is language-independent and can be used with any programming language.
Example: {"name": "John", "age": 30}
Example: [{"name": "Alice", "age": 25}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 35}
- Q6. What do you know about garbage collection in Java?
- Ans.
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.
Garbage collection in Java can be triggered by calling S...
