Java Interview – Part 1: Model Answers (English)

Core Java – Basics

• String is immutable, while StringBuilder and StringBuffer are mutable. StringBuilder is faster but not
thread-safe, and StringBuffer is thread-safe but slower.
• Immutability means the value cannot be changed after creation. Any modification creates a new
object.
• The final keyword prevents inheritance, method overriding, or variable reassignment.

OOP Concepts

• The four principles are encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction.


• Encapsulation hides internal details and exposes only what is necessary.
• Polymorphism allows the same interface to have different implementations.

Interface vs Abstract Class

• Interfaces define contracts, abstract classes provide shared behavior.


• Use interfaces for loose coupling and multiple implementations.
• Since Java 8, interfaces can have default method implementations.

Collections

• List allows duplicates, Set does not, and Map stores key-value pairs.
• HashMap uses hashCode and equals for fast data access.
• equals and hashCode ensure correct behavior in hash-based collections.

Exceptions

• Checked exceptions must be handled; unchecked exceptions occur at runtime.


• Custom exceptions represent business rules.
• Catching generic Exception hides real issues.

Java 8 – Streams & Optional

• Streams process collections in a functional and readable way.


• map transforms values, flatMap flattens nested structures.
• Optional represents the presence or absence of a value.

JVM

• Heap stores objects; Stack stores method calls and local variables.
• Garbage Collection automatically frees unused memory.
• OutOfMemoryError occurs when the JVM cannot allocate memory.
Concurrency

• A process contains threads; threads share memory.


• synchronized prevents concurrent access to shared resources.
• ExecutorService manages thread pools.

Spring Boot

• Dependency Injection allows Spring to manage dependencies.


• Component, Service, and Repository have semantic differences.
• Beans follow a lifecycle managed by Spring.

REST APIs

• Common HTTP methods are GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
• PUT replaces a resource; PATCH updates part of it.
• Errors are handled using proper status codes and exception handlers.

JPA / Hibernate

• Entities map database tables; DTOs transfer data.


• Lazy loading loads data only when needed.
• The N+1 problem causes multiple unnecessary queries.

Transactions

• @Transactional ensures atomic execution.


• On failure, the transaction is rolled back.
• Commit saves changes; rollback discards them.

Security

• Authentication verifies identity; authorization verifies permissions.


• JWT is used for stateless authentication.
• Spring Security uses filters to intercept requests.

Testing

• Unit tests validate isolated code behavior.


• Mockito is used to mock dependencies.
• Focus tests on business logic.

CI/CD

• CI/CD automates integration and deployment.


• Code reviews improve quality and collaboration.
• Common tools include Git, GitLab CI, and Sonar.
