Q1531. What is the difference between the 2 methods in Java ?

Class BuggyBread {

BuggyBread(){
}
void BuggyBread(){
}
}

Core Java

Ans. BuggyBread method without any return type is the constructor which get's called upon object creation whereas BuggyBread method with return type of void is just another method that needs to be called explicitly for it's invocation.

Q1532. Is this constructor overloading ?

What is the difference between the 2 methods in Java ?

Class BuggyBread {

BuggyBread(){
}
void BuggyBread(int x){
}
}

Core Java

Ans. No, first method is a constructor whereas the second method is just a normal method. There is no way a constructor can be called explicitly and hence all explicit calls to BuggyBread() would result in compilation error.

Q1533. Can we call a constructor explicitly , just like a method ?

Q1534. What is the difference between reference and object ?

Core Java

Ans. Object is an entity in Java , i.e which has a state ( instance variables ) and methods attached to it ( static or non static , through class definition ). References are the identifiers that are used to point to objects.

For example -

Employee emp = new Employee();
emp = new Employee();

In this code, emp is the reference that gets assigned to the new object created by the new operator. In the second line , we have assigned the same reference to another object. So with these 2 lines of code, we have 2 objects in memory with reference emp now pointing to second object.

Q1535. Make the following class immutable

public class Employee {

   private long employeeId;

   private String employeeName;

   public long getEmployeeId() {
      return employeeId;
   }

public void setEmployeeId(long employeeId) {
      this.employeeId = employeeId;
   }

   public String getEmployeeName() {
      return employeeName;
   }

public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
      this.employeeName = employeeName;
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. public class Employee {

   private long employeeId;

   private String employeeName;

   public Employee(long employeeId,String employeeName){
      this.employeeId = employeeId;
      this.employeeName = employeeName;
   }

   public long getEmployeeId() {
      return employeeId;
   }

   public long getEmployeeName() {
      return employeeName;
   }
}

Q1541. Which of the following is valid greater than and equal to operator in Java ?

>=

Ans. >=

=> will result in error.

=> somewhat looks like lambda operator "->"

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve operators >= operator greater than and equal to operator comparison operators}

Q1542. If given a choice , which one would you prefer to send params to the Get service , path params or query param ?

Web Service

Ans. If the number of params is quite large , I would prefer to either split it with majority of it in query params or all in query params.

If the params are all mandatory , I would keep it as path params. If it's optional , I would keep it as query param so as to keep consistent base url.

If we don't require the param name , then they can be kept as path params as query params necessitates the usage of param name.

Q1543. Is it necessary to specify "employeeId" with @PathParam("employeeId") in this case,

@Path("/{employeeId}")
public String employeeInfo(@PathParam("employeeId") Long employeeId){
}

Rest

Ans. No, it's optional as the name of path param required is same as method param name in this case.

Even the declaration as following should work -

@Path("/{employeeId}")
public String employeeInfo(@PathParam Long employeeId){
}

Q1544. What happens when you assign a pre initialized reference some other object ?

Core Java

Ans. Now the reference points to a new object in memory. If that was the only reference for the previous object , it will be marked for garbage collection.

Foe example -

Object obj = new Object();
obj = new Object();

object created in first line will be eligible for garbage collection after line 2 as it looses all it's handlers.

Q1548. What are var args ?

or

What is the use of var args ?

Core Java

Ans. Var args is the feature of Java that allows a method to have variable number of arguments. Var args are used when we are not sure about the number of arguments a method may need. Internally java treats them as array.

Declarations of methods with var args

void method(int... x){};
void method(int x, int... y){};

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve var args methods functions method declaration Asked in 2 Companies}

Q1549. Why following method declarations are not valid ?

void method(int... x, int y){};
void method(int... x,int... y){};

Core Java

Ans. Because var args are not only allowed with the last argument in the method declaration.

Q1550. Which method will get called if we call it as method(1)

void method(int x ){};
void method(int... x){};

Core Java

Ans. Though the call an be bind to either of these but in this case, 1st method will get priority and hence will be called.

Q1551. Can we catch errors in Java ?

Core Java

Ans. Yes we can

try {
// code
} catch (Error ex) {
// handling code
}

but we shouldn't ideally do that as errors are mostly JVM based and not application based and there is rarely we can do something about it. Very likely catching and not re throwing would lead to muting their response or trace.

Q1552. Do you see any problem with this code

public class BuggyBread {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      method("Hello","World");
   }

   private static void method(String... args){
      for(String arg:args){
         System.out.println(arg);
      }
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. No, It will compile and execute perfectly fine. As we are using method with var args , we can call it with 0 to n arguments.

Q1553. Do you see any problem with this code

public class BuggyBread {

   private static void method(String... args){
      for(String arg:args){
         System.out.println(arg);
      }
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. This will compile fine as we can provide 0 arguments for a var arg but will print nothing upon execution.

Q1554. Do you see any problem with this code

public class BuggyBread {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

   }

      for(String arg:args){
         System.out.println(arg);
      }
   }

   private static void method(String arg){
      System.out.println(arg);
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. It will compile fine and the method call will bind to method with specific argument and not with var arg

i.e private static void method(String arg)

It will print "Hello" upon execution

Q1555. Do you see any problem with this code

public class BuggyBread {

      }
   }

   private static void method(String[] arg){
      System.out.println(arg);
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. Yes, it will give compilation error and java will complain about duplicate method. Java treat var args internally as arrays and hence would result in same byte code for both method's syntax.

Q1556. Will this code work

public class BuggyBread {

   }

   private static void method(String[] arg){
      System.out.println(arg);
   }
}

What all possible changes we can make to method signature to make it work ?

Core Java

Ans. It won't work as java won't find the method definition for method with 2 arguments.

We can either declare the method as

private static void method(String arg,String arg2)

or

private static void method(String... arg)

Q1557. What is the order in which triggers gets fired ?

Database

Ans. There is no specific order in which database fires the triggers if they are for the same operation. If we need to have a specific order for their execution, we should have them all in a stored procedure and the procedure should get executed upon the event.
