Core Java Interview Preparation Guide

(3 Years Experience)
1. Data Types & Variables
Data types define the type of data a variable can hold. Java has primitive and non-primitive
types.
Primitive: int, float, double, char, boolean
Example:
int a = 10;

Why: Helps JVM allocate memory efficiently.

Interview Q: What is the difference between int and Integer?


Answer: int is primitive, Integer is wrapper class.

2. Arrays
Array is a collection of similar elements stored in contiguous memory.
Example:
int[] arr = {1,2,3};

Execution: arr[0]=1, arr[1]=2

Interview Q: Difference between array and ArrayList?


Answer: Array is fixed size, ArrayList is dynamic.

3. Strings
String is immutable in Java.
Example:
String s = "hello";

Why immutable: Security, performance.

Interview Q: String vs StringBuilder?


Answer: String is immutable, StringBuilder is mutable.
4. OOP Concepts
Encapsulation: Binding data and methods
Inheritance: Acquiring properties
Polymorphism: Many forms
Abstraction: Hiding details

Interview Q: What is polymorphism?


Answer: Method overloading and overriding.

5. Exception Handling
Used to handle runtime errors.
Example:
try { int a = 10/0; } catch(Exception e) {}

Interview Q: Checked vs Unchecked?


Answer: Checked at compile time vs runtime.

6. Collections
List, Set, Map
ArrayList vs LinkedList
HashMap internal working uses hashing.

Interview Q: HashMap internal working?


Answer: Uses hashcode and bucket.

7. Multithreading
Allows concurrent execution.
Example:
Thread t = new Thread();

Interview Q: Difference between process and thread?


Answer: Process is independent, thread is lightweight.
