JAVA INTERVIEW – 1 PAGE QUICK NOTES

Java Platform Independent: Java compiles into bytecode which runs on JVM on any OS.

OOP Concepts:
• Inheritance – One class acquires another class properties
• Encapsulation – Binding data & methods together
• Abstraction – Hiding implementation details
• Polymorphism – One method, many forms (Overloading & Overriding)

Static Methods:
• Can be overloaded
• Cannot be overridden (compile-time binding)

Access Modifiers: Default, Private, Protected, Public

Constructors:
• Default – No arguments
• Parameterized – With arguments

Singleton Class: Only one object created using private constructor

== vs equals():
• == compares reference
• equals() compares values

Interface vs Abstract Class:


• Interface supports multiple inheritance
• Abstract class supports partial implementation

String vs StringBuffer vs StringBuilder:


• String – Immutable, slow
• StringBuffer – Mutable, thread-safe
• StringBuilder – Mutable, fastest

Variables:
• Local – Inside method/block
• Instance – Inside class, outside method

final / finally / finalize:


• final – restriction
• finally – always executes
• finalize – before garbage collection

HashMap vs Hashtable:
• HashMap – Not synchronized, faster
• Hashtable – Synchronized, slower

Threads:
• Extend Thread class
• Implement Runnable interface

SQL:
• DDL, DML, DCL, TCL
• GETDATE() – current date
• WHERE filters rows, HAVING filters groups
Spring vs Spring Boot:
• Spring – Manual configuration
• Spring Boot – Auto configuration, production ready
