Java SE : Top Java Interview Questions And Answers 2015
2. What is synchronization?
- With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control the access of multiple threads to shared resources.
- Without synchronization, it is possible for one thread to modify a shared object while another thread is in the process of using or updating that object’s value. This often leads to significant errors.
3. What’s new with the stop(), suspend() and resume() methods in JDK 1.2?
- The stop(), suspend() and resume() methods have been deprecated in JDK 1.2.
4. Is null a keyword?
- "null" is not a keyword. .null is a literal.
5. What state does a thread enter when it terminates its processing?
- When a thread terminates its processing, it enters the dead state.
6. What is the Collections API?
- The Collections API is a set of classes and interfaces that support operations on collections of objects.
7. What is the List interface?
- The List interface provides support for ordered collections of objects which allows duplicate elements also.
8. What is the Vector class?
- The Vector class provides the capability to implement a growable array of objects
9.Can we instantiate Abstract class?
- We can not create object for abstract class directly. but indirectly through sub class object we can achieve it.
10.What is the first keyword used in a java program?
- Its "package" keyword.
11.When a class should be defined as final?
- If we do not want allow subclasses.
- If we do not want to extend the functionality.
12.Can we declare abstract method as static?
- No, we are not allowed to declare abstract method as static.
- It leads to compilation error: illegal combination of modifiers abstract and static.
13.Can we apply abstract keyword to interface?
- Yes, it is optional.
- abstract interface A{}
14.Can we write empty interface?
- Yes it is possible it is marker interface.
- interface A{}
15.Can we declare interface as final?
- No, it leads to compile time error. Because it should allow sub class.
16.How to solve ClassCastException?
- To solve ClassCastException we should use instanceof operator.
- obj instanceof class_name
17. Is “xyz” a primitive value?
- No, it is not primitive it is string literal.
18.When is an object subject to garbage collection?
- An object is subject to garbage collection when it becomes unreachable to the program in which it is used.
19.What method must be implemented by all threads?
- The run() method, whether they are a subclass of Thread or implement the Runnable interface.
20.What happens if an exception is not caught?
- An uncaught exception results in the uncaughtException() method of the thread’s ThreadGroup being invoked, which eventually results in the termination of the program in which it is thrown.
21.How are this() and super() used with constructors?
- this() is used to invoke a constructor of the same class. super() is used to invoke a superclass constructor.
22.Under what conditions is an object’s finalize() method invoked by the garbage collector?
- The garbage collector invokes an object’s finalize() method when it detects that the object has become unreachable.
23.What restrictions are placed on method overloading?
- Methods should have same name and defer in parameters.
24.When does the compiler supply a default constructor for a class?
- The compiler supplies a default constructor for a class if no other constructors are provided.
25.What modifiers can be used with a local inner class?
- A local inner class may be final or abstract.
