JAVA OOP VIVA ANSWERS

1. Control Structures

Control structures are statements that control the flow of execution of a program.

Types: Selection (if, if-else, switch), Iteration (for, while, do-while), Jump (break, continue)

Switch:

- break terminates case

- without break → fall-through

- String allowed (Java 7), float/double not allowed

Loops:

- for → known iterations

- while → condition-based

- do-while → executes at least once

2. Class, Object, Constructor

Class = blueprint, Object = instance

Method = function inside class

this keyword → refers to current object

Encapsulation → wrapping data + methods

Constructor:

- Special method to initialize object

- Types: Default, Parameterized

- No return type

- Can be overloaded

3. Overloading, Packages, Static

Overloading → same method name, different parameters

Packages → collection of classes

Static → belongs to class, main is static so JVM can call it

4. Strings, Arrays, Vector

String → immutable

StringBuffer → mutable, thread-safe

StringBuilder → faster

Array → fixed size


ArrayList → dynamic

Vector → synchronized

5. Inheritance & Polymorphism

Inheritance → acquiring properties

Types: Single, Multilevel, Hierarchical

No multiple inheritance → avoids ambiguity

Polymorphism:

- Compile-time → overloading

- Runtime → overriding

6. Interface

Interface → collection of abstract methods

Supports multiple inheritance

No constructor

7. Multithreading

Thread → small unit of process

start() creates thread, run() executes

Synchronization avoids race condition

8. Exception Handling

Exception → runtime error

try, catch, finally, throw, throws

finally always executes

9. GUI (AWT, Swing)

AWT → basic GUI

Swing → advanced GUI

Event → user action, handled by listener

MOST IMPORTANT:

Overloading vs Overriding

Interface vs Abstract

String vs StringBuffer

Static keyword

Polymorphism → one entity many forms
