 Q1. What are the benefits of Java over other Programming Languages ?Core Java
Ans. 1. JVM that makes it platform independent and facilitates portability.
2. Garbage Collector that protects from Memory Leaks.
3. Only usage of references and not pointer arithmetic and hence protects the application from memory issues like dangling pointers, memory leaks etc.
4. Support for OOPs that makes application development and maintenance easy.
5. Facilitates library development through use of interface / abstract classes.
6. Facilitates creation of scalable applications.
7. Huge repository of libraries and pool of people with java skill.

 Q2. difference between ArrayList and array ?Core Java
Ans. ArrayList is a variable length collection class whereas arrays are fixed length primitive structure.

We can use generics with arraylist but not with arrays.

We can store primitive data types within arrays but can't with ArrayList. In ArrayList that needs to be converted to Wrapper objects.

  Q4. Difference between Arrays and ArrayList ?Core Java
Ans. Both Arrays and ArrayLists are used to store elements. Elements can be either primitives or objects in case of Arrays, but only objects can be stored in Arraylist. Array is a fixed length data structure while arraylist is variable length collection class. Once created, you cannot change the size of the arrays, but arraylists can dynamically resize itself when needed.Another notable difference between Arrays and Arrayslist is that arary is part of core java programming and array list is part of collection classes

 Q5. How does multi threading improve performance ?Core Java
Ans. Every process in it's timeline require different resources. Utilization of resources can be optimized when they are shared among different processes or threads. When one thread is sleeping waiting for a peripheral to complete (e.g. a disk write, or a key press from the keyboard), other threads can continue using processor time and hence would lead to better usage of resources.

 Q6. Between Encrypted Password authentication and IP Authentication , which one would you prefer and why ?Authentication
Ans. IP authentication is very restrictive, if IP changes for some reason then getting the new IP white listed on the server firewall could run your day pretty long. I would prefer encrypted password authentication cause it is not affected by IP changes and not limited to a white listed IP, I could use any different machine and get through authentication without any hassle.

 Q15. Suppose we make an api call using multithreading, How would you design to make sure that we have received response for all threads before exiting the main thread ?Design

Frequently asked in Genpact.
 Q26. What is object cloning ?Core Java
Ans. Its is the process of creating exact copy of an object being cloned. In Object class one native method called clone() is there which is meant for Shallow Cloning of Object. Shallow cloning means bitwise copy of an object.In case of primitive data type it will create an exact copy of primitive values as well as variables but if the object contains any reference of an object then it will not copy the referenced object rather it will create the copy of reference variable and assigned it to the old object.

  Q27. Explain OOps concepts.Core Java
Ans. There are four main OOP concepts in Java. These are:

Abstraction. Abstraction means using simple things to represent complexity. We all know how to turn the TV on, but we don?t need to know how it works in order to enjoy it. In Java, abstraction means simple things like objects, classes, and variables represent more complex underlying code and data. This is important because it lets avoid repeating the same work multiple times.

Encapsulation. This is the practice of keeping fields within a class private, then providing access to them via public methods. It?s a protective barrier that keeps the data and code safe within the class itself. This way, we can re-use objects like code components or variables without allowing open access to the data system-wide.

Inheritance. This is a special feature of Object Oriented Programming in Java. It lets programmers create new classes that share some of the attributes of existing classes. This lets us build on previous work without reinventing the wheel.

Polymorphism. This Java OOP concept lets programmers use the same word to mean different things in different contexts. One form of polymorphism in Java is method overloading. That?s when different meanings are implied by the code itself. The other form is method overriding. That?s when the different meanings are implied by the values of the supplied variables. See more on this below.

 Q29. What is ORM or Object Relationship Mapping ?Database
Ans. ORM is the mapping technique, which maps object with relational data model. As we know that in java we need objects we can not user data in relational(in table form). So ORM is set of guideline which allows us to map relational data model in object form.

 Q30. What is the difference between Graph's Breadth first and Depth First algorithm ?Algorithm
Ans. In Breadth first algorithm, all the adjacent nodes of the starting node is visited first and then the same rule is followed while moving inwards whereas

In Depth first algorithm, all the nodes of a single traversal path are visited first till a cycle or an end is found.

For example , given the following entries of adjacent nodes

1,2
1,3
1,6
2,4
2,5
3,6

The Breadth first path would be

1,2,3,6,4,5

and Depth first path would be

1,2,4,5,3,6
