🟦 Easy Java Basic Questions & Answers
1️⃣What is Java?
Java is a programming language used to build
applications.
It is platform-independent, meaning it runs on any OS.
2️⃣What is JDK?
JDK = Java Development Kit
It contains tools to write, compile, and run Java
programs.
3️⃣What is JRE?
JRE = Java Runtime Environment
It helps run Java programs. It does not contain
development tools.
4️⃣What is JVM?
JVM = Java Virtual Machine
It runs Java bytecode.
It makes Java platform-independent.
5️⃣What is a Class?
A class is a template or blueprint for objects.
6️⃣What is an Object?
Object is something that has state (data) and behaviour
(methods).
7️⃣What is OOP?
OOP = Object-Oriented Programming
Main concepts: Encapsulation, Inheritance,
Polymorphism, Abstraction
8️⃣What is Inheritance?
One class inherits properties from another class. (“child
→ parent”)
9️⃣What is Polymorphism?
Same method behaves differently in different situations.
Examples: method overloading, method overriding
🔟 What is Encapsulation?
Hiding data using private variables and public methods
(getters/setters).
1️⃣1️⃣What is Abstraction?
Showing only important details and hiding the rest.
1️⃣2️⃣What is a Constructor?
A special method that runs when an object is created.
🟩 Easy IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) Q&A
1️⃣What is an IDE?
IDE = A software that helps you write, run, and debug
code easily.
2️⃣Popular Java IDEs?
Eclipse
IntelliJ IDEA
NetBeans
3️⃣Why do we use an IDE?
Highlights errors
Auto-completion
Easy debugging
Fast development
4️⃣Difference between Eclipse and IntelliJ?
Eclipse = Free, lightweight
IntelliJ = Smart features, faster suggestions, better
debugging
5️⃣How to run a Java program in IDE?
Create a project
Create a class
Write code
Click Run button
6️⃣What is a Workspace?
A workspace is a folder where the IDE stores all your
projects.
7️⃣What is Auto-complete?
IDE feature that suggests code as you type (e.g., method
names).
8️⃣What is Debugging?
Process of finding and fixing errors using breakpoints.
9️⃣What is a Build Path?
It tells the IDE which libraries your project needs.
🔟 What are Plugins?
Extra tools you can add to IDE to improve features.
