☕️ Java Interview Questions with Answers (Part 1)
1️⃣ What is Java?
👉 Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language designed to be portable across different platforms.
Key features:
🔹 Object-Oriented
🔹 Platform Independent
🔹 Secure
🔹 Robust
🔹 Multithreaded
🔹 Automatic Memory Management
📌 Write Once, Run Anywhere is commonly associated with Java's platform independence.
2️⃣ What is JVM?
👉 JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. It executes Java bytecode and provides the runtime environment required to run Java applications.
📌 Basic flow:

Java Source Code
      ↓
   Compiler
      ↓
  Bytecode
      ↓
     JVM
      ↓
    Output

💡 JVM implementations are platform-specific, which allows the same Java bytecode to run on different operating systems.
3️⃣ What is the Difference Between JDK, JRE, and JVM?
👉 These three components have different roles:
🔹 JVM → Executes Java bytecode
🔹 JRE → JVM + libraries required to run Java applications
🔹 JDK → JRE/runtime components + development tools such as the Java compiler
📌 JDK → Development
📌 JRE → Running applications
📌 JVM → Executing bytecode
4️⃣ What is a Class in Java?
👉 A class is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines data and behavior through fields, methods, constructors, and other members.
Example:

class Student {
    String name;
    int age;

    void display() {
        System.out.println(name + " " + age);
    }
}

💡 Objects are created from classes.
5️⃣ What is an Object in Java?
👉 An object is an instance of a class. It contains state represented by fields and behavior provided by methods.
Example:

class Student {
    String name;

    void display() {
        System.out.println(name);
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Student s = new Student();

        s.name = "Rahul";
        s.display();
    }
}

📌 Class → Blueprint
📌 Object → Instance of the class

☕️ Java Interview Questions with Answers (Part 2)
6️⃣ What is Inheritance in Java?
👉 Inheritance allows a class to acquire fields and methods from another class. It helps create reusable and hierarchical code.
Example:

class Animal {
    void eat() {
        System.out.println("Eating");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    void bark() {
        System.out.println("Barking");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Dog d = new Dog();

        d.eat();
        d.bark();
    }
}

📌 Dog inherits the eat() method from Animal.
7️⃣ What is Polymorphism in Java?
👉 Polymorphism means one interface or method name can represent different behaviors.
Two common forms are:
🔹 Compile-time Polymorphism → Method Overloading
🔹 Runtime Polymorphism → Method Overriding
Example of Overloading:

class Calculator {
    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    int add(int a, int b, int c) {
        return a + b + c;
    }
}

💡 The same method name add() works with different parameter lists.
8️⃣ What is Encapsulation in Java?
👉 Encapsulation means bundling data and methods together while controlling direct access to the data.
Example:

class Student {
    private int age;

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }
}

📌 private prevents direct access from outside the class.
💡 Encapsulation helps protect object state and provides controlled access.
9️⃣ What is Abstraction in Java?
👉 Abstraction means hiding implementation details and exposing only the essential functionality.
Java supports abstraction using:
🔹 Abstract Classes
🔹 Interfaces
Example:

abstract class Animal {
    abstract void sound();

    void sleep() {
        System.out.println("Sleeping");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Bark");
    }
}

💡 The user of Animal does not need to know how sound() is implemented internally.
🔟 What is a Constructor in Java?
👉 A constructor is a special member used to initialize an object when it is created.
Example:

class Student {
    String name;

    Student(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    void display() {
        System.out.println(name);
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Student s = new Student("Rahul");
        s.display();
    }
}

📌 Constructor name must match the class name.
💡 Constructors do not have a return type, including void.

🔥 Part 3 will cover 5 important questions on Method Overloading, Method Overriding, this, super & static.
#Java #JavaInterview #JavaProgramming #OOP #CodingInterview #Programming #SoftwareEngineer #InterviewQuestions #Developer #TechInterview

☕️ Java Interview Questions with Answers (Part 3)
1️⃣1️⃣ What is Method Overloading in Java?
👉 Method Overloading means having multiple methods with the same name but different parameter lists in the same class.

class Calculator {
    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    double add(double a, double b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

💡 Overloading is resolved at compile time.
1️⃣2️⃣ What is Method Overriding in Java?
👉 Method Overriding occurs when a subclass provides its own implementation of an inherited method.

class Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Animal sound");
    }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    @Override
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Bark");
    }
}

💡 Overriding is associated with runtime polymorphism.
1️⃣3️⃣ What is the this Keyword in Java?
👉 this refers to the current object.
It is commonly used to:
🔹 Access current object's fields
🔹 Call current class methods
🔹 Invoke another constructor
Example:

class Student {
    String name;

    Student(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

1️⃣4️⃣ What is the super Keyword in Java?
👉 super refers to the immediate parent class.
It can be used to:
🔹 Access parent fields
🔹 Call parent methods
🔹 Call the parent constructor
Example:

class Animal {
    String name = "Animal";
}

class Dog extends Animal {
    String name = "Dog";

    void display() {
        System.out.println(super.name);
    }
}

📌 Output:

Animal

1️⃣5️⃣ What is the static Keyword in Java?
👉 static indicates that a member belongs to the class rather than a particular object.
Example:

class Counter {
    static int count = 0;

    Counter() {
        count++;
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Counter();
        new Counter();

        System.out.println(Counter.count);
    }
}

📌 Output:

2

💡 A static field is shared among instances of the class.
