Take a look below to refresh your skills and knowledge on a Java Developer job opening:

Q- What’s the difference between an interface and an abstract class?

A- An abstract class may contain code in method bodies, which is not allowed in an interface. With abstract classes, you have to inherit your class from it and Java does not allow multiple inheritance. On the other hand, you can implement multiple interfaces in your class.

Q- Explain the usage of the keyword transient?

A- This keyword indicates that the value of this member variable does not have to be serialized with the object. When the class will be de-serialized, this variable will be initialized with a default value of its data type (i.e. zero for integers).

Q- How do you know if an explicit object casting is needed?

A- If you assign a superclass object to a variable of a subclass’s data type, you need to do explicit casting.

Q- How could Java classes direct program messages to the system console, but error messages, say to a file?

A- The class System has a variable out that represents the standard output, and the variable err that represents the standard error device. By default, they both point at the system console.

Q. Why would you use a synchronized block vs. synchronized method?

A- Synchronized blocks place locks for shorter periods than synchronized methods.

Q- How can you force garbage collection?

A- You can’t force GC, but could request it by calling System.gc(). JVM does not guarantee that GC will be started immediately.

 

Study these questions and answers. Don’t be afraid to throw in your own creative and unique answers to showcase your awesome personality as well. By being prepared for brush up questions in an interview, you’ll be able to whip up the best answer without stumbling around your memory for a quick answer.

Remember, preparation is key to success!
