Core java - Interview Questions and Answers for 'Amdocs' - 17 question(s) found - Order By Newest

Very frequently asked. Among first few questions in almost all interviews. Among Top 5 frequently asked questions. Frequently asked in Indian service companies (HCL,TCS,Infosys,Capgemini etc based on multiple feedback ) and Epam Systems
  Q1. Difference between == and .equals() ?Core Java
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

  Sample Code for equals

or

Explain OOPs features

or

Tell me something about OOPs		Core Java
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 to fresh graduates and less experienced. Favorite question in Walk in drives. Frequently asked in Indian Services companies.
  Q3. Difference between Overloading and Overriding ?Core Java
Ans. Overloading - Similar Signature but different definition , like function overloading.

Overriding - Overriding the Definition of base class in the derived class.

 Q4. How to find whether a given integer is odd or even without use of modulus operator in java?Core Java
Ans. public static void main(String ar[])
{
int n=5;
if((n/2)*2==n)
{
System.out.println("Even Number ");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Odd Number ");
}
}

Frequently asked to fresh graduates and less experienced.
  Q5. Difference between Composition and Inheritance ?Core Java
Ans. Inheritance means a object inheriting reusable properties of the base class. Compositions means that an abject holds other objects.

In Inheritance there is only one object in memory ( derived object ) whereas in Composition , parent object holds references of all composed objects.

From Design perspective - Inheritance is "is a" relationship among objects whereas Composition is "has a" relationship among objects.

 Q6. what is fail fast and Fail Safe in collections?Core Java
Ans. Iterators in java are used to iterate over the Collection objects.

Fail-Fast iterators immediately throw ConcurrentModificationException if there is any addition, removal or updation of any element.

Fail-Safe iterators don't throw any exception if a collection is structurally modified while iterating over it. This is because, they operate on the clone of the collection and not on the original collection.

  Q7. What are Marker Interfaces ? Name few Java marker interfaces ?Core Java
Ans. An interface without any method declaration is called as marker interface. there are 3 in-built interfaces in JVM i.e. serializable, clonable, remote

  Q8. Why java doesn't support multiple Inheritance ?

or

Explain Java Diamond Problem.		Core Java
Ans. class A {
void test() {
System.out.println("test() method");
}
}

class B {
void test() {
System.out.println("test() method");
}
}

Suppose if Java allows multiple inheritance like this,

class C extends A, B {
}

A and B test() methods are inheriting to C class.

So which test() method C class will take? As A & B class test() methods are different , So here we would Facing Ambiguity.

  Q11. How is multiple inheritance implemented in Java ?Core Java
Ans. There was no multiple inheritance in java before version 8 as implementing multiple interfaces cannot be termed as inheritance.

With Java 8 , came the concept of default methods wherein the class implementing the interface carries the default implementation from the interface and hence facilitating multiple inheritance.

  Q12. What is an exception and exception handling in Java ?Core Java
Ans. An Exception in java is the occurrence during computation that is anomalous and is not expected.

Exception handling is the mechanism which is used to handle such situations.

 Q15. What is the difference between map and filter methods in streams ?Core Java
Ans. By using map , you can transform the object values. The map operation allows us to apply a function, that takes input parameter of one type, and returns something else.

Filter is used for filtering the data, it always returns the boolean value. If it returns true, then item is added to list else its filtered out (ignored)

 Q16. Write a program to rotate a matrix.Core Java
Ans. public class Matrix {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int[][] matrix = {
            {1, 2, 3},
            {4, 5, 6},
            {7, 8, 9}
      };
      Matrix.rotateMatrix(matrix);
      for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i ){
         for (int j = 0; j < matrix.length; j ){
            System.out.print(matrix[i][j] " ");
         }
         System.out.println();
      }
   }

   public static void rotateMatrix(int[][] matrix){
      int row = matrix.length;
      //first find the transpose of the matrix.
      for (int i = 0; i < row; i ){
         for (int j = i; j < row; j ){
            int temp = matrix[i][j];
            matrix[i][j] = matrix[j][i];
            matrix[j][i] = temp;
         }
      }
      //reverse each row
      for (int i = 0; i< row; i ){
         for(int j = 0; j< row/2; j ){
            int temp = matrix[i][j];
            matrix[i][j] = matrix[i][row - 1 - j];
            matrix[i][row - 1 - j] = temp;
         }
      }

   }
