 JAVA THEORY QUESTIONS
COMPILED BY MISBAWU #5
1. What do you know about Java?
Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun
Microsystems and released in 1995. Java runs on a variety of platforms, such
as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX.
2. What are the supported platforms by Java Programming Language? Java
runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various
versions of UNIX/Linux like HP-Unix, Sun Solaris, Redhat Linux, Ubuntu,
CentOS, etc.
3. List any five features of Java?
• • Some features include Object Oriented
• • Platform Independent
• • Robust
• • Interpreted
• • Multi-threaded

4. Why is Java Architectural Neutral?

It’s compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file format, which makes
the compiled code to be executable on many processors, with the presence of
Java runtime system.
5. What is a singleton class? Give a practical example of its usage.
A singleton class in java can have only one instance and hence all its methods
and variables belong to just one instance. Singleton class concept is useful
for the situations when there is a need to limit the number of objects for a
class.
The best example of singleton usage scenario is when there is a limit of
having only one connection to a database due to some driver limitations or
because of any licensing issues.
6. What are the access modifiers in Java?
There are 3 access modifiers. Public, protected and private, and the default
one if no identifier is specified is called friendly, but programmer cannot
specify the friendly identifier explicitly.
7. What is are packages?
A package is a collection of related classes and interfaces providing access
protection and namespace management.
8. What is meant by Inheritance and what are its advantages?
Inheritance is the process of inheriting all the features from a class. The
advantages of inheritance are reusability of code and accessibility of variables
and methods of the super class by subclasses.
9. What is the difference between superclass and subclass?
A super class is a class that is inherited whereas sub class is a class that
does the inheriting.
10.What is an abstract class?
An abstract class is a class designed with implementation gaps for
subclasses to fill in and is deliberately incomplete.
11.What are the states associated in the thread?
Thread contains ready, running, waiting and dead states.
12.What is synchronization?
Synchronization is the mechanism that ensures that only one thread is
accessed the resources at a time.
13.What is deadlock?
When two threads are waiting each other and can’t precede the program is
said to be deadlock.
14.What is an applet?
Applet is a dynamic and interactive program that runs inside a web page
displayed by a java capable browser
15.What is the lifecycle of an applet?
init() method – Can be called when an applet is first loaded
start() method – Can be called each time an applet is
started. paint() method – Can be called when the applet is
minimized or maximized.

stop() method – Can be used when the browser moves off the applet’s page.
destroy() method – Can be called when the browser is finished with the applet.
16.How do you set security in applets?
using setSecurityManager() method
17.What is a layout manager and what are different types of layout
managers available in java AWT?
A layout manager is an object that is used to organize components in a
container. The different layouts are available are FlowLayout, BorderLayout,
CardLayout,
GridLayout and GridBagLayout
18.What is JDBC?
JDBC is a set of Java API for executing SQL statements. This API consists of
a set of classes and interfaces to enable programs to write pure Java
Database applications.
19.What are drivers available?
a) JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver b) Native API Partly-Java driver
c) JDBC-Net Pure Java driver d) Native-Protocol Pure Java driver
20.What is stored procedure?
Stored procedure is a group of SQL statements that forms a logical unit and
performs a particular task. Stored Procedures are used to encapsulate a set
of operations or queries to execute on database. Stored procedures can be
compiled and executed with different parameters and results and may have
any combination of input/output parameters.
21.What is the Java API?
The Java API is a large collection of ready-made software components that
provide many useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface (GUI)
widgets.
22.Why there are no global variables in Java?
Global variables are globally accessible. Java does not support globally
accessible variables due to following reasons:
1)The global variables breaks the referential transparency
2)Global variables creates collisions in namespace.
23.What are Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism?
Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code and data it
manipulates and keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse.
Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of
another object. Polymorphism is the feature that allows one interface to be
used for general class actions.
24.What is the use of bin and lib in JDK?
Bin contains all tools such as javac, applet viewer, awt tool, etc., whereas lib
contains API and all packages.
25.What is method overloading and method overriding?
Method overloading: When a method in a class having the same method name
with different arguments is said to be method overloading. Method overriding :
When a method in a class having the same method name with same
arguments is said to be method overriding.
26.What is the difference between this() and super()? this() can be used to
invoke a constructor of the same class whereas super() can be used to
invoke a super class constructor.
27.What is Domain Naming Service(DNS)? It is very difficult to remember a
set of numbers(IP address) to connect to the Internet. The Domain
Naming Service(DNS) is used to overcome this problem. It maps one
particular IP address to a string of characters. For example, www. mascom.
com implies com is the domain name reserved for US commercial sites,
moscom is the name of the company and www is the name of the specific
computer, which is mascom’s server.
28.What is URL?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and it points to resource files on the
Internet. URL has four components: http://www. address. com:80/index.html,
where http – protocol name, address – IP address or host name, 80 – port
number and index.html – file path.
29.What is RMI and steps involved in developing an RMI object?
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) allows java object that executes on one
machine and to invoke the method of a Java object to execute on another
machine. The steps involved in developing an RMI object are: a) Define the
interfaces b) Implementing these interfaces c) Compile the interfaces and
their implementations with the java compiler d) Compile the server
implementation with RMI compiler e) Run the RMI registry f) Run the
application.
30.What is RMI architecture?
RMI architecture consists of four layers and each layer performs specific
functions: a) Application layer – contains the actual object definition. b) Proxy
layer – consists of stub and skeleton. c) Remote Reference layer – gets the
stream of bytes from the transport layer and sends it to the proxy layer. d)
Transportation layer – responsible for handling the actual machine-to-
machine communication.
31.What is a Java Bean?
A Java Bean is a software component that has been designed to be reusable
in a variety of different environments.
32. What are checked exceptions?
Checked exception are those which the Java compiler forces you to catch. e.g.
IOException are checked Exceptions.
33. What are runtime exceptions?
Runtime exceptions are those exceptions that are thrown at runtime because
of either wrong input data or because of wrong business logic etc. These are
not checked by the compiler at compile time.
34. What is the difference between error and an exception?
An error is an irrecoverable condition occurring at runtime. Such as
OutOfMemory error. These JVM errors and you can not repair them at runtime.
While exceptions are conditions that occur because of bad input etc. e.g.
FileNotFoundException will be thrown if the specified file does not exist. Or a
NullPointerException will take place if you try using a null reference. In most
of the cases it is possible to recover from an exception (probably by giving
user a feedback for entering proper values etc.).
35. What is the purpose of finalization?
The purpose of finalization is to give an unreachable object the opportunity to
perform any cleanup processing before the object is garbage collected. For
example, closing a opened file, closing a opened database Connection.

36. What is the difference between yielding and sleeping?

When a task invokes its yield() method, it returns to the ready state. When a
task invokes its sleep() method, it returns to the waiting state.
37. What is the difference between preemptive scheduling and time slicing?
Under preemptive scheduling, the highest priority task executes until it
enters the waiting or dead states or a higher priority task comes into
existence. Under time slicing, a task executes for a predefined slice of time
and then reenters the pool of ready tasks. The scheduler then determines
which task should execute next, based on priority and other factors.
38. What is mutable object and immutable object?
If a object value is changeable then we can call it as Mutable object. (Ex.,
StringBuffer, …) If you are not allowed to change the value of an object, it is
immutable object. (Ex., String, Integer, Float, …)
39. What is the purpose of Void class?
The Void class is an uninstantiable placeholder class to hold a reference to
the Class object representing the primitive Java type void.
40. What is JIT and its use?
Really, just a very fast compiler… In this incarnation, pretty much a one-pass
compiler — no offline computations. So you can’t look at the whole method,
rank the expressions according to which ones are re-used the most, and then
generate code. In theory terms, it’s an on-line problem.
41. What is nested class?
If all the methods of a inner class is static then it is a nested class.
42. What is HashMap and Map?
Map is Interface and Hashmap is class that implements that.
43. What are different types of access modifiers? public: Any thing declared
as public can be accessed from anywhere. private: Any thing declared as
 private can’t be seen outside of its class. protected: Any thing declared as
protected can be accessed by classes in the same package and
subclasses in the other packages. default modifier : Can be accessed only
to classes in the same package.

44. What is the difference between Reader/Writer and InputStream/Output

Stream?
The Reader/Writer class is character-oriented and the
InputStream/OutputStream class is byte-oriented. 45. What is servlet?
Servlets are modules that extend request/response-oriented servers, such as
javaenabled web servers. For example, a servlet might be responsible for
taking data in an
HTML order-entry form and applying the business logic used to update a
company’s order database.
46. What is Constructor?
A constructor is a special method whose task is to initialize the object of its
class. It is special because its name is the same as the class name. They
do not have return types, not even void and therefore they cannot return
values.
They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base class
constructor.
Constructor is invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created.
47.What is an Iterator ?
The Iterator interface is used to step through the elements of a Collection.
Iterators let you process each element of a Collection.
Iterators are a generic way to go through all the elements of a Collection no
matter how it is organized.
Iterator is an Interface implemented a different way for every Collection.
48.What is the List interface?
The List interface provides support for ordered collections of objects.
Lists may contain duplicate elements.
49.What is memory leak?
A memory leak is where an unreferenced object that will never be used again
still hangs around in memory and doesn’t get garbage collected.
50.What is the difference between the prefix and postfix forms of the ++
operator?

The prefix form performs the increment operation and returns the value of the
increment operation. The postfix form returns the current value all of the
expression and then performs the increment operation on that value.
51.What is the difference between a constructor and a method?
A constructor is a member function of a class that is used to create objects of
that class. It has the same name as the class itself, has no return type, and is
invoked using the new operator. A method is an ordinary member function of
a class. It has its own name, a return type (which may be void), and is invoked
using the dot operator.
52.What will happen to the Exception object after exception handling?
Exception object will be garbage collected.
53.Difference between static and dynamic class loading.
Static class loading: The process of loading a class using new operator is
called static class loading. Dynamic class loading: The process of loading a
class at runtime is called dynamic class loading.
Dynamic class loading can be done by using
Class.forName(….).newInstance(). 54. Explain the Common use of EJB
The EJBs can be used to incorporate business logic in a web-centric
application. The EJBs can be used to integrate business processes in
Business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce applications.In Enterprise
Application Integration applications, EJBs can be used to house processing
and mapping between different applications.
55. What is JSP?
JSP is a technology that returns dynamic content to the Web client using
HTML, XML and JAVA elements. JSP page looks like a HTML page but is a
servlet. It contains Presentation logic and business logic of a web application.
56. What is the purpose of apache tomcat?
Apache server is a standalone server that is used to test servlets and create
JSP pages. It is free and open source that is integrated in the Apache web
server. It is fast, reliable server to configure the applications but it is hard to
install. It is a servlet container that includes tools to configure and manage the
server to run the applications. It can also be configured by editing XML
configuration files.

57. Where pragma is used?

Pragma is used inside the servlets in the header with a certain value. The
value is of no-cache that tells that a servlets is acting as a proxy and it has to
forward request. Pragma directives allow the compiler to use machine and
operating system features while keeping the overall functionality with the Java
language. These are different for different compilers.
58. Briefly explain daemon thread.
Daemon thread is a low priority thread which runs in the background performs
garbage collection operation for the java runtime system.
59. What is a native method?
A native method is a method that is implemented in a language other than
Java.
60. Explain different way of using thread?
A Java thread could be implemented by using Runnable interface or by
extending the Thread class. The Runnable is more advantageous, when you
are going for multiple inheritance.
61.What are the two major components of JDBC?
One implementation interface for database manufacturers, the other
implementation interface for application and applet writers.
62.What kind of thread is the Garbage collector thread?
It is a daemon thread.
63.What are the different ways to handle exceptions?
There are two ways to handle exceptions,
1. By wrapping the desired code in a try block followed by a catch block to
catch the exceptions. and
2. List the desired exceptions in the throws clause of the method and let
the caller of the method handle those exceptions.
64. How many objects are created in the following piece of
code? MyClass c1, c2, c3; c1 = new MyClass (); c3 = new
MyClass ();

Answer: Only 2 objects are created, c1 and c3. The reference c2 is only
declared and not initialized.
65.What is UNICODE?
Unicode is used for internal representation of characters and strings and it
uses 16 bits to represent each other.
66.Can a constructor have different name than a Class name in Java?
Constructor in Java must have same name as the class name and if the
name is different, it doesn’t act as a constructor and compiler thinks of it
as a normal method.
67.What will be the output of Round(3.7) and Ceil(3.7)?
Round(3.7) returns 4 and Ceil(3.7) returns 4.
68: Can we use goto in Java to go to a particular line?
In Java, there is not goto keyword and java doesn’t support this feature of
going to a particular labeled line.
69.Can a dead thread be started again?
In java, a thread which is in dead state can’t be started again. There is no way
to restart a dead thread.
70.Is the following class declaration correct?
public abstract final class testClass {
// Class methods and variables
}
The above class declaration is incorrect as an abstract class can’t be declared
as Final.
71.Is JDK required on each machine to run a Java program?
JDK is development Kit of Java and is required for development only and to
run a
Java program on a machine, JDK isn’t required. Only JRE is required.
72. Which object oriented Concept is achieved by using overloading
and overriding? Polymorphism
73.Is it possible to define a method in Java class but provide it’s
implementation in the code of another language like C?
Yes, we can do this by use of native methods. In case of native method based
development, we define public static methods in our Java class without its
implementation and then implementation is done in another language like C
separately.
74.How destructors are defined in Java?
In Java, there are no destructors defined in the class as there is no need to
do so. Java has its own garbage collection mechanism which does the job
automatically by destroying the objects when no longer referenced. 75. Can
a variable be local and static at the same time?
No a variable can’t be static as well as local at the same time. Defining a local
variable as static gives compilation error.
76.Can we have static methods in an Interface?
Static methods can’t be overridden in any class while any methods in an
interface are by default abstract and are supposed to be implemented in the
classes being implementing the interface. So it makes no sense to have static
methods in an interface in Java.
77.In a class implementing an interface, can we change the value of any
variable defined in the interface?
No, we can’t change the value of any variable of an interface in the
implementing class as all variables defined in the interface are by default
public, static and Final and final variables are like constants which can’t be
changed later.
78.Is it correct to say that due to garbage collection feature in Java, a java
program never goes out of memory?
Even though automatic garbage collection is provided by Java, it doesn’t
ensure that a Java program will not go out of memory as there is a possibility
that creation of Java objects is being done at a faster pace compared to
garbage collection resulting in filling of all the available memory resources.
So, garbage collection helps in reducing the chances of a program going out
of memory but it doesn’t ensure that.
79.Can we have any other return type than void for main method? No, Java
class main method can have only void return type for the program to get
successfully executed.
Nonetheless , if you absolutely must return a value to at the completion of
main method , you can use System.exit(int status)
80. I want to re-reach and use an object once it has been garbage collected.
How
it’s possible?
Once an object has been destroyed by garbage collector, it no longer exists on
the heap and it can’t be accessed again. There is no way to reference it again.
81.In Java thread programming, which method is a must implementation for
all threads?
Run() is a method of Runnable interface that must be implemented by all
threads.
82.I want to control database connections in my program and want that only
one thread should be able to make database connection at a time. How
can I implement this logic?
This can be implemented by use of the concept of synchronization. Database
related code can be placed in a method which has synchronized keyword so
that only one thread can access it at a time.
83.Can an Interface extend another Interface?
Yes an Interface can inherit another Interface, for that matter an Interface can
extend more than one Interface.
84.I want my class to be developed in such a way that no other class (even
derived class) can create its objects. How can I do so? If we declare the
constructor of a class as private, it will not be accessible by any other
class and hence, no other class will be able to instantiate it and formation
of its object will be limited to itself only.
85.How objects are stored in Java?
In java, each object when created gets a memory space from a heap. When an
object is destroyed by a garbage collector, the space allocated to it from the
heap is re-allocated to the heap and becomes available for any new objects.
86.How can we find the actual size of an object on the heap?
In java, there is no way to find out the exact size of an object on the heap.
87.Which of the following classes will have more memory allocated?
Class A: Three methods, four variables, no object
Class B: Five methods, three variables, no object
Memory isn’t allocated before creation of objects. Since for both classes,
there are no objects created so no memory is allocated on heap for any class.
88. What happens if an exception is not handled in a program?
If an exception is not handled in a program using try catch blocks, program
gets aborted and no statement executes after the statement which caused
exception throwing.
89.I have multiple constructors defined in a class. Is it possible to call a
constructor from another constructor’s body?
If a class has multiple constructors, it’s possible to call one constructor from
the body of another one using this().
90.What’s meant by anonymous class?
An anonymous class is a class defined without any name in a single line of
code using new keyword.
For example, in below code we have defined an anonymous class in one line
of code: public java.util.Enumeration testMethod() { return new
java.util.Enumeration()
{
@Override public boolean
hasMoreElements()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
@Override public Object
nextElement()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}

91. Is there a way to increase the size of an array after its declaration?
Arrays are static and once we have specified its size, we can’t change it. If we
want to use such collections where we may require a change of size ( no of
items), we should prefer vector over array.
92. If an application has multiple classes in it, is it okay to have a main
method in more than one class?
If there is main method in more than one classes in a java application, it won’t
cause any issue as entry point for any application will be a specific class and
code will start from the main method of that particular class only.
93. I want to persist data of objects for later use. What’s the best approach
to do so? The best way to persist data for future use is to use the concept
of serialization.
94. What is a Local class in Java?
In Java, if we define a new class inside a particular block, it’s called a local
class.
Such a class has local scope and isn’t usable outside the block where its
defined.
95. String and StringBuffer both represent String objects. Can we compare
String and StringBuffer in Java?
Although String and StringBuffer both represent String objects, we can’t
compare them with each other and if we try to compare them, we get an
error. 96. Which API is provided by Java for operations on set of objects?
Java provides a Collection API which provides many useful methods which
can be applied on a set of objects. Some of the important classes provided by
Collection API include ArrayList, HashMap, TreeSet and TreeMap.
97.Can we cast any other type to Boolean Type with type casting?
No, we can neither cast any other primitive type to Boolean data type nor can
cast Boolean data type to any other primitive data type.
98.What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements?
Synchronized methods are methods that are used to control access to an
object. A synchronized statement can only be executed after a thread has
acquired the lock for the object or class referenced in the synchronized
statement.
99.How does a try statement determine which catch clause should be used
to handle an exception?

When an exception is thrown within the body of a try statement, the catch
clauses of the try statement are examined in the order in which they appear.
The first catch clause that is capable of handling the exception is executed.
The remaining catch clauses are ignored.
100. What will be the default values of all the elements of an array defined
as an instance variable?
If the array is an array of primitive types, then all the elements of the array will
be initialized to the default value corresponding to that primitive type.
