Ans. "equals" is the method of object class which is supposed to be overridden to check object equality, whereas "==" operator evaluate to see if the object handlers on the left and right are pointing to the same object in memory. x.equals(y) means the references x and y are holding objects that are equal. x==y means that the references x and y have same object. Sample code: String x = new String("str"); String y = new String("str"); System.out.println(x == y); // prints false System.out.println(x.equals(y)); // prints true | ||||

Advanced level question. Frequently asked in High end product companies. Frequently asked in Google , Cognizant and Deloitte ( Based on 2 feedback ) | ||||
| ||||
Ans. 1. String Pool - When a string is created and if it exists in the pool, the reference of the existing string will be returned instead of creating a new object. If string is not immutable, changing the string with one reference will lead to the wrong value for the other references. Example - String str1 = "String1"; String str2 = "String1"; // It doesn't create a new String and rather reuses the string literal from pool // Now both str1 and str2 pointing to same string object in pool, changing str1 will change it for str2 too 2. To Cache its Hashcode - If string is not immutable, One can change its hashcode and hence it's not fit to be cached. 3. Security - String is widely used as parameter for many java classes, e.g. network connection, opening files, etc. Making it mutable might possess threats due to interception by the other code segment. | ||||

| ||||
Ans. If the Object value will not change, use String Class because a String object is immutable. If the Object value can change and will only be modified from a single thread, use StringBuilder because StringBuilder is unsynchronized(means faster). If the Object value may change, and can be modified by multiple threads, use a StringBuffer because StringBuffer is thread safe(synchronized). | ||||

Ans. OOPs or Object Oriented Programming is a Programming model which is organized around Objects instead of processes. Instead of a process calling series of processes, this model stresses on communication between objects. Objects that all self sustained, provide security by encapsulating it's members and providing abstracted interfaces over the functions it performs. OOP's facilitate the following features 1. Inheritance for Code Reuse 2. Abstraction for modularity, maintenance and agility 3. Encapsulation for security and protection 4. Polymorphism for flexibility and interfacing | ||||

Very frequently asked. Favorite question in Walk in Drive of many Indian service companies. Frequently asked in HCL Technologies, TCS and Accenture. | ||||
| ||||
Ans. final - constant variable, objects cannot be de-referenced, restricting method overriding, restricting class sub classing. finally - handles exception. The finally block is optional and provides a mechanism to clean up regardless of what happens within the try block. Use the finally block to close files or to release other system resources like database connections, statements etc. finalize() - method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. | ||||

Very frequently asked to Fresh graduates. | ||||
| ||||
Ans. 1.Abstraction solves the problem at design level while encapsulation solves the problem at implementation level 2.Abstraction is used for hiding the unwanted data and giving relevant data. while Encapsulation means hiding the code and data into a single unit to protect the data from outside world. 3. Abstraction lets you focus on what the object does instead of how it does it while Encapsulation means hiding the internal details or mechanics of how an object does something. 4.For example: Outer Look of a Television, like it has a display screen and channel buttons to change channel it explains Abstraction but Inner Implementation detail of a Television how CRT and Display Screen are connect with each other using different circuits , it explains Encapsulation. | ||||

Very frequently asked. Favorite question in Walk in Drive of many Indian service companies. | ||||

Ans. Underlying data structure for ArrayList is Array whereas LinkedList is the linked list and hence have following differences - 1. ArrayList needs continuous memory locations and hence need to be moved to a bigger space if new elements are to be added to a filled array which is not required for LinkedList. 2. Removal and Insertion at specific place in ArrayList requires moving all elements and hence leads to O(n) insertions and removal whereas its constant O(1) for LinkedList. 3. Random access using index in ArrayList is faster than LinkedList which requires traversing the complete list through references. 4. Though Linear Search takes Similar Time for both, Binary Search using LinkedList requires creating new Model called Binary Search Tree which is slower but offers constant time insertion and deletion. 5. For a set of integers you want to sort using quicksort, it's probably faster to use an array; for a set of large structures you want to sort using selection sort, a linked list will be faster. | ||||

Basic and Very Frequently asked. | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Polymorphism means the condition of occurring in several different forms. Polymorphism in Java is achieved in two manners 1. Static polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at compile time and is achieved through function overloading whereas 2. Dynamic polymorphism is the polymorphic resolution identified at runtime and is achieved through method overriding. | ||||

Very Frequently asked. Have been asked in HCL Technologies very frequently ( based on 3 feedback ). Among first few questions in many interviews. | ||||
| ||||
Ans. Abstract classes can have both abstract methods ( method declarations ) as well as concrete methods ( inherited to the derived classes ) whereas Interfaces can only have abstract methods ( method declarations ). A class can extend single abstract class whereas it can implement multiple interfaces. | ||||

Ans. Car Engine is an example of encapsulation and abstraction. You ignite the car using an interface called starter and least bothered about how the tire actually moves (This is abstraction). The engine encapsulates the complete process to itself only and doesn't allow you to start the other components like the radiator etc ( this is excapsulation ) | ||||

Almost sure to be asked in every company using any Dependency Injection framework ( Spring, Guice etc ) | ||||
| ||||
Ans. It is a Design Pattern that facilitates loose coupling by sending the dependency information ( object references of dependent object ) while building the state of the object. Objects are designed in a manner where they receive instances of the objects from other pieces of code, instead of constructing them internally and hence provide better flexibility. | ||||

Ans. Base Class is a relative term used to signify the Parent class in Parent - Child or Base - derived relationship. Derived Class is a relative term used to signify the Child class in Parent - Child or Base - derived relationship. Abstract Class is a class that is not allowed to be instantiated and hence can serve only a base class for it's usage. Concrete Class is the class which is supposed to be instantiated and hence provide definition for all implementing interface methods and extending abstract methods. | ||||
