Almost sure to be asked in every company using any Dependency Injection framework ( Spring, Guice etc )
  Q2. What is Dependency Injection or IOC ( Inversion of Control ) ?Design
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.

 Q15. What's wrong with this code ?

public static void main(String[] args) {
String regex = "(\\w+)*";
String s = "Java is a programming language.";

Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(s);
while (matcher.next()) {
System.out.println("The e-mail id is: " + matcher.group());
}
}		Core Java
Ans. matcher.find() should have been used instead of matcher.next() within while.

 Q18. When singleton can break and how to resolve itDesign
Ans. Deserialization. In serialization, we can save the object of a byte stream into a file or send over a network. Suppose if you serialize the Singleton class, and then again de-serialize that object, it will create a new instance, hence deserialization will break the Singleton pattern.

To overcome this issue, we need to override readResolve() method in the Singleton class and return the same Singleton instance.

 Q19. If you are given choice to either load object eagerly or lazily , which one would you use in case of singleton pattern ?Design
Ans. I would choose Eager as the cost for 1 additional object is too minute for any such consideration.

Eager Loading results in Faster access ( Object available at load time) at the cost of additional space.

Lazy loading results in space saving ( Object available at first use ) at the cost of access speed.

 Q20. Shall we use abstract classes or Interfaces in Policy / Strategy Design Pattern ?
Ans. Strategy deals only with decision making at runtime so Interfaces should be used.

 Q28. What are design situations to use Singleton and Prototype Design Pattern ?Design
Ans. Both are creational design patterns.

Singleton is used when we would like to reuse an object if object is not supposed to hold request or thread specific information. Inversely Prototype is used in situations where we would like to reuse the object information but the request / thread may require it own data to be persisted.

In short, Singleton is used in situations where we can live with single object being shared across multiple requests or threads whereas Prototype is used when we need duplicate copies of objects.

 Q29. Does it make sense to clone an object which is supposed to be immutable ?Design
Ans. It make sense only if we intend to modify either of the object and would like to preserve original state in other. Otherwise we can reuse the original object by making it singleton.

   private String element1; 



   private String element2; 



   private BuggyBread(String element1, String element2){ 

      this.element1 = element1;
