Very frequently asked in HCL Tech ( Based of 4 inputs )

Q1. Write a Program to reverse a string iteratively and recursively

Ans. Using String method -

new StringBuffer(str).reverse().toString();

Iterative -

Strategy - Loop through each character of a String from last to first and append the character to StringBuilder / StringBuffer

public static String getReverseString(String str){
StringBuffer strBuffer = new StringBuffer(str.length);
for(int counter=str.length -1 ; counter>=0;counter--){
strBuffer.append(str.charAt(counter));
}
return strBuffer;
}

Recursive -

Strategy - Call the method with substring starting from 2nd character recursively till we have just 1 character.

public static String getReverseString(String str){
if(str.length <= 1){
return str;
}
return (getReverseString(str.subString(1)) + str.charAt(0);
}

Q4. What will be the output of following Code ?

class BuggyBread {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String s2 = "I am unique!";
      String s5 = "I am unique!";

      System.out.println(s2 == s5);
   }
}

Core Java

Ans. true, due to String Pool, both will point to a same String object.

Q6. Different between POST and PUT in Rest

Rest

Ans. PUT requests are only meant to place the object as it is on server. For example - You want a file to be uploaded and then placed in a particular folder or you want an Employee object to be persisted in the table.

POST requests are also meant to transfer information from client to server but that information once received at the server is evaluated , modified or refactored before persisting.

Q7. Should a DB Insert Request be a POST or PUT request in Rest

Rest

Ans. It depends on whether the request object is persisted as it is

or

its first dismantled, modified or refactored and then inserted into DB.

In first case, it should be a PUT request whereas in second case it should be a POST Request.

Q10. 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.

Q11. 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){
}
