Mainly used for C++ is mainly used Java is mainly used for application programming. It
for system is widely used in window, web-based, enterprise and
programming. mobile applications.
Design Goal C++ was designed Java was designed and created as an interpreter for
for systems and printing systems but later extended as a support

Inheritance Tree C++ creates a new Java uses a single inheritance tree always because
inheritance tree all classes are the child of Object class in java. The
always. object class is the root of the inheritance tree in
java.
o Simple: Java is easy to learn. The syntax of Java is based on C++ which makes
easier to write the program in it.
o Multithreaded: We can write Java programs that deal with many tasks at
once by defining multiple threads. The main advantage of multi-threading is
that it doesn't occupy memory for each thread. It shares a common memory
area. Threads are important for multi-media, Web applications, etc.
JVM is an acronym for Java Virtual Machine; it is an abstract machine which provides
the runtime environment in which Java bytecode can be executed. It is a specification
which specifies the working of Java Virtual Machine. Its implementation has been
provided by Oracle and other companies. Its implementation is known as JRE.
JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (so JVM is platform
dependent). It is a runtime instance which is created when we run the Java class.
There are three notions of the JVM: specification, implementation, and instance.
JRE
JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. It is the implementation of JVM. The Java
Runtime Environment is a set of software tools which are used for developing Java
applications. It is used to provide the runtime environment. It is the implementation
of JVM. It physically exists. It contains a set of libraries + other files that JVM uses at
runtime.

10) What gives Java its 'write once and run anywhere' nature?
The bytecode. Java compiler converts the Java programs into the class file (Byte
Code) which is the intermediate language between source code and machine code.
This bytecode is not platform specific and can be executed on any computer.
1. //save by .java only
2. class A {
3. public static void main(String args[]) {
4. System.out.println("Hello java");
5. }
6. }
7. //compile by javac .java
8. //run by java A
run it by java A
15) What if I write static public void instead of public static void?
The program compiles and runs correctly because the order of specifiers doesn't
matter in Java.
16) What is the default value of the local variables?
The local variables are not initialized to any default value, neither primitives nor
object references.
For example, In the class simulating the collection of the students in a college, the
name of the college is the common attribute to all the students. Therefore, the
college name will be defined as static.
1. class Test {
2. public static void main (String args[]) {
3. System.out.println(10 + 20 + "Javatpoint");
4. System.out.println("Javatpoint" + 10 + 20);
5. }
6. }
30Javatpoint
Javatpoint1020
Explanation
In the first case, 10 and 20 are treated as numbers and added to be 30. Now, their
sum 30 is treated as the string and concatenated with the string Javatpoint.
Therefore, the output will be 30Javatpoint.
1. class Test {
2. public static void main (String args[]) {
3. System.out.println(10 * 20 + "Javatpoint");
4. System.out.println("Javatpoint" + 10 * 20);
5. }
6. }
The output of the above code will be
200Javatpoint
Javatpoint200
Explanation
In the first case, The numbers 10 and 20 will be multiplied first and then the result
200 is treated as the string and concatenated with the string Javatpoint to produce
the output 200Javatpoint.
In the second case, The numbers 10 and 20 will be multiplied first to be 200 because
the precedence of the multiplication is higher than addition. The result 200 will be
treated as the string and concatenated with the string Javatpointto produce the
output as Javatpoint200.
1. class Test {
2. public static void main (String args[]) {
3. for (int i = 0; 0; i++) {
4. System.out.println("Hello Javatpoint");
5. }
6. }
7. }
The above code will give the compile-time error because the for loop demands a
boolean value in the second part and we are providing an integer value, i.e., 0.

2. int id;
3. String name;
4.
5. void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}

8. Student3 s1=new Student3();
9. Student3 s2=new Student3();
10. s1.display();
11. s2.display();
12. }
13. }
Test it Now
Output:
0 null
0 null
Explanation: In the above class, you are not creating any constructor, so compiler
provides you a default constructor. Here 0 and null values are provided by default
constructor.
More Details.
1. class Test {
2. int i;
3. public Test(int k) {
4. I = k;
5. }
6. public Test(int k, int m) {
7. System.out.println("Hi I am assigning the value max(k, m) to i");
8. If (k > m) {
9. I = k;
10. } else {
11. I = m;
12. }
13. }
14. }
15. public class Main {
16. public static void main (String args[]) {
17. Test test1 = new Test(10);
18. Test test2 = new Test(12, 15);
19. System.out.println(test1.i);
20. System.out.println(test2.i);
21. }
22. }
23.
In the above program, The constructor Test is overloaded with another constructor.
In the first call to the constructor, The constructor with one argument is called, and i
will be initialized with the value 10. However, In the second call to the constructor,
The constructor with the 2 arguments is called, and i will be initialized with the value
15.
There are many ways to copy the values of one object into another in java. They are:
o By constructor
o By assigning the values of one object into another
o By clone() method of Object class
In this example, we are going to copy the values of one object into another using
java constructor.
1. //Java program to initialize the values from one object to another
2. class Student6 {
3. int id;
4. String name;
5. //constructor to initialize integer and string
6. Student6(int i,String n) {
7. id = i;
8. name = n;
9. }
10. //constructor to initialize another object
11. Student6(Student6 s) {
12. id = s.id;
13. name =s.name;
14. }
15. void display(){System.out.println(id+" "+name);}
16.
17. public static void main(String args[]) {
18. Student6 s1 = new Student6(111,"Karan");
19. Student6 s2 = new Student6(s1);
20. s1.display();
21. s2.display();
22. }
23. }
Test it Now
Output:
111 Karan
111 Karan
A constructor is used to initialize the state of an A method is used to expose the behavior of an
object. object.
A constructor must not have a return type. A method must have a return type.
The Java compiler provides a default constructor if The method is not provided by the compiler in any
you don't have any constructor in a class. case.
The constructor name must be same as the class The method name may or may not be same as
name. class name.
a = 10 b = 15
Here, the data type of the variables a and b, i.e., byte gets promoted to int, and the
first parameterized constructor with the two integer parameters is called.
1. class Test {
2. int i;
3. }
4. public class Main {
5. public static void main (String args[]) {
6. Test test = new Test();
7. System.out.println(test.i);
8. }
9. }
1. class Test {
2. int test_a, test_b;
3. Test(int a, int b) {
4. test_a = a;
5. test_b = b;
6. }
7. public static void main (String args[]) {
8. Test test = new Test();
9. System.out.println(test.test_a+" "+test.test_b);
10. }
11. }
There is a compiler error in the program because there is a call to the default
constructor in the main method which is not present in the class. However, there is
only one parameterized constructor in the class Test. Therefore, no default
constructor is invoked by the constructor implicitly.

9. rollno = r;
10. name = n;
11. }
12. void display (){System.out.println(rollno+" "+name+" "+college);}

41) What are the restrictions that are applied to the Java static
methods?
Two main restrictions are applied to the static methods.
o The static method can not use non-static data member or call the non-static
method directly.
o this and super cannot be used in static context as they are non-static.
1. class A2 {
2.
3. static {
4. System.out.println("static block is invoked");
5. }
6.
7. public static void main(String args[]){
8. System.out.println("Hello main");

4)For example: public static int cube(int n){ return For example: public void msg(){...}.
n*n*n;}
48) Can we make constructors static?
As we know that the static context (method, block, or variable) belongs to the class,
not the object. Since Constructors are invoked only when the object is created, there
is no sense to make the constructors static. However, if you try to do so, the compiler
will show the compiler error.

Output
o this is a final variable. Therefore, this cannot be assigned to any new value
whereas the current class object might not be final and can be changed.
o this can be used in the synchronized block.
o Single-level inheritance
o Multi-level inheritance
o Multiple Inheritance
o Hierarchical Inheritance
o Hybrid Inheritance
More Details.
o Inheritance provides code reusability. The derived class does not need to
redefine the method of base class unless it needs to provide the specific
implementation of the method.
o Runtime polymorphism cannot be achieved without using inheritance.
o We can simulate the inheritance of classes with the real-time objects which
makes OOPs more realistic.
o Inheritance provides data hiding. The base class can hide some data from the
derived class by making it private.
o Method overriding cannot be achieved without inheritance. By method
overriding, we can give a specific implementation of some basic method
contained by the base class.
Since the compile-time errors are better than runtime errors, Java renders compile-
time error if you inherit 2 classes. So whether you have the same method or different,
there will be a compile time error.

68) What are the differences between this and super keyword?
There are the following differences between this and super keyword.
o The super keyword always points to the parent class contexts whereas this
keyword always points to the current class context.
o The super keyword is primarily used for initializing the base class variables
within the derived class constructor whereas this keyword primarily used to
differentiate between local and instance variables when passed in the class
constructor.
o The super and this must be the first statement inside constructor otherwise
the compiler will throw an error.

Explanation
There are two methods defined with the same name, i.e., sum. The first method
accepts the integer and long type whereas the second method accepts long and the
integer type. The parameter passed that are a = 20, b = 20. We can not tell that
which method will be called as there is no clear differentiation mentioned between
integer literal and long literal. This is the case of ambiguity. Therefore, the compiler
will throw an error.
o The method must have the same name as in the parent class.
o The method must have the same signature as in the parent class.

Output
Explanation
The method of Base class, i.e., baseMethod() is overridden in Derived class. In Test
class, the reference variable b (of type Base class) refers to the instance of the
Derived class. Here, Runtime polymorphism is achieved between class Base and
Derived. At compile time, the presence of method baseMethod checked in Base class,
If it presence then the program compiled otherwise the compiler error will be shown.
In this case, baseMethod is present in Base class; therefore, it is compiled
successfully. However, at runtime, It checks whether the baseMethod has been
overridden by Derived class, if so then the Derived class method is called otherwise
Base class method is called. In this case, the Derived class overrides the baseMethod;
therefore, the Derived class method is called.

8. }
9. }
o By providing only the setter or getter method, you can make the class read-only or
write-only. In other words, you can skip the getter or setter methods.
o It provides you the control over the data. Suppose you want to set the value of id
which should be greater than 100 only, you can write the logic inside the setter
method. You can write the logic not to store the negative numbers in the setter
methods.
o It is a way to achieve data hiding in Java because other class will not be able to access
the data through the private data members.
o The encapsulate class is easy to test. So, it is better for unit testing.
o The standard IDE's are providing the facility to generate the getters and setters. So, it
is easy and fast to create an encapsulated class in Java.

o By using the fully qualified name: To access a class in a different package, either we
must use the fully qualified name of that class, or we must import the package
containing that class.
o By using the relative path, We can use the path of the class that is related to the
package that contains our class. It can be the same or subpackage.

Explanation
In Java, the throwable objects can only be thrown. If we try to throw an integer
object, The compiler will show an error since we can not throw basic data type from a
block of code.

Output
Explanation
The object of Calculation is thrown from the try block which is caught in the catch
block. The add() of Calculation class is called with the integer values 10 and 20 by
using the object of this class. Therefore there sum 30 is printed. The object of the
Main class can only be thrown in the case when the type of the object is throwable.
To do so, we need to extend the throwable class.

Exception is caught
Explanation
In the main method, a() of Main is called which prints a message and call b(). The
method b() prints some message and then call c(). The method c() throws an
exception which is handled by the catch block of method b. However, It propagates
this exception by using throw Exception() to be handled by the method a(). As we
know, finally block is always executed therefore the finally block in the method b() is
executed first and prints a message. At last, the exception is handled by the catch
block of the method a().

More details.
1. String s="welcome";
Each time you create a string literal, the JVM checks the "string constant pool" first. If
the string already exists in the pool, a reference to the pooled instance is returned. If
the string doesn't exist in the pool, a new string instance is created and placed in the
pool. String objects are stored in a special memory area known as the string
constant pool For example:
1. String s1="Welcome";
2. String s2="Welcome";//It doesn't create a new instance
2) By new keyword
1. String s=new String("Welcome");//creates two objects and one reference varia
ble
In such case, JVM will create a new string object in normal (non-pool) heap memory,
and the literal "Welcome" will be placed in the constant string pool. The variable s
will refer to the object in a heap (non-pool).
1. String s1="Welcome";
2. String s2="Welcome";
3. String s3="Welcome";
Only one object will be created using the above code because strings in Java are
immutable.

Output
a equals b
Explanation
The operator == also check whether the references of the two string objects are
equal or not. Although both of the strings contain the same content, their references
are not equal because both are created by different ways(Constructor and String
literal) therefore, a == b is unequal. On the other hand, the equal() method always
check for the content. Since their content is equal hence, a equals b is printed.

8. System.out.println(s1 ==s2);
9. }
10. }
Output
true
Explanation
The intern method returns the String object reference from the string pool. In this
case, s1 is created by using string literal whereas, s2 is created by using the String
pool. However, s2 is changed to the reference of s1, and the operator == returns
true.

165) How the metacharacters are different from the ordinary
characters?
Metacharacters have the special meaning to the regular expression engine. The
metacharacters are ^, $, ., *, +, etc. The regular expression engine does not consider
them as the regular characters. To enable the regular expression engine treating the
metacharacters as ordinary characters, we need to escape the metacharacters with
the backslash.

8. System.out.println(Pattern.matches("..s", "mas")); //line 8

Output
true
false
false
false
true
Explanation
line 4 prints true since the second character of string is s, line 5 prints false since the
second character is not s, line 6 prints false since there are more than 3 characters in
the string, line 7 prints false since there are more than 2 characters in the string, and
it contains more than 2 characters as well, line 8 prints true since the third character
of the string is s.
o Nested classes represent a special type of relationship that is it can access all the
members (data members and methods) of the outer class including private.
o Nested classes are used to develop a more readable and maintainable code because
it logically groups classes and interfaces in one place only.
o Code Optimization: It requires less code to write.

There are two types of nested classes, static nested class, and non-static nested class.
The non-static nested class can also be called as inner-class
More details.
o Inner classes increase the total number of classes used by the developer and
therefore increases the workload of JVM since it has to perform some routine
operations for those extra classes which result in slower performance.
o IDEs provide less support to the inner classes as compare to the top level classes and
therefore it annoys the developers while working with inner classes.
171) What are the types of inner classes (non-static nested
class) used in Java?
There are mainly three types of inner classes used in Java.

192) What are the super most classes for all the streams?
All the stream classes can be divided into two types of classes that are ByteStream
classes and CharacterStream Classes. The ByteStream classes are further divided into
InputStream classes and OutputStream classes. CharacterStream classes are also
divided into Reader classes and Writer classes. The SuperMost classes for all the
InputStream classes is java.io.InputStream and for all the output stream classes is
java.io.OutPutStream. Similarly, for all the reader classes, the super-most class is
java.io.Reader, and for all the writer classes, it is java.io.Writer.
1. import java.io.FileOutputStream;

Java FileInputStream class obtains input bytes from a file. It is used for reading
byte-oriented data (streams of raw bytes) such as image data, audio, video, etc. You
can also read character-stream data. However, for reading streams of characters, it is
recommended to use FileReader class. Consider the following example for reading
bytes from a file.
1. import java.io.FileInputStream;
2. public class DataStreamExample {
3. public static void main(String args[]){
4. try{
5. FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream("D:\\testout.txt");

o D:\\IO\\-: It indicates that the permission is associated with all subdirectories and files
recursively.
o D:\\IO\\*: It indicates that the permission is associated with all directory and files
within this directory excluding subdirectories.

198) In Java, How many ways you can take input from the
console?
In Java, there are three ways by using which, we can take input from the console.
o Using BufferedReader class: we can take input from the console by wrapping
System.in into an InputStreamReader and passing it into the BufferedReader. It
provides an efficient reading as the input gets buffered. Consider the following
example.
1. import java.io.BufferedReader;
2. import java.io.IOException;
3. import java.io.InputStreamReader;
4. public class Person
5. {
6. public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
7. {
8. System.out.println("Enter the name of the person");
9. BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamRe
ader(System.in));
10. String name = reader.readLine();
11. System.out.println(name);
12. }
13. }
o Using Scanner class: The Java Scanner class breaks the input into tokens using a
delimiter that is whitespace by default. It provides many methods to read and parse
various primitive values. Java Scanner class is widely used to parse text for string and
primitive types using a regular expression. Java Scanner class extends Object class
and implements Iterator and Closeable interfaces. Consider the following example.
1. import java.util.*;
2. public class ScannerClassExample2 {
3. public static void main(String args[]){
4. String str = "Hello/This is JavaTpoint/My name is Abhishek.";
5. //Create scanner with the specified String Object
6. Scanner scanner = new Scanner(str);
7. System.out.println("Boolean Result: "+scanner.hasNextBoolean());
8. //Change the delimiter of this scanner
9. scanner.useDelimiter("/");
10. //Printing the tokenized Strings
11. System.out.println("---Tokenizes String---");
12. while(scanner.hasNext()){
13. System.out.println(scanner.next());
14. }
15. //Display the new delimiter
16. System.out.println("Delimiter used: " +scanner.delimiter());
17. scanner.close();
18. }
19. }
20.
o Using Console class: The Java Console class is used to get input from the console. It
provides methods to read texts and passwords. If you read the password using the
Console class, it will not be displayed to the user. The java.io.Console class is attached
to the system console internally. The Console class is introduced since 1.5. Consider
the following example.
1. import java.io.Console;
2. class ReadStringTest{
3. public static void main(String args[]){
4. Console c=System.console();
5. System.out.println("Enter your name: ");
6. String n=c.readLine();
7. System.out.println("Welcome "+n);
8. }
9. }

201) How can you avoid serialization in child class if the base
class is implementing the Serializable interface?
It is very tricky to prevent serialization of child class if the base class is intended to
implement the Serializable interface. However, we cannot do it directly, but the
serialization can be avoided by implementing the writeObject() or readObject()
methods in the subclass and throw NotSerializableException from these methods.
Consider the following example.
1. import java.io.FileInputStream;
2. import java.io.FileOutputStream;
3. import java.io.IOException;
4. import java.io.NotSerializableException;
5. import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
6. import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
7. import java.io.Serializable;
8. class Person implements Serializable
9. {
10. String name = " ";
11. public Person(String name)
12. {
13. this.name = name;
14. }
15. }
16. class Employee extends Person
17. {
18. float salary;
19. public Employee(String name, float salary)
20. {
21. super(name);
22. this.salary = salary;
23. }
24. private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException
25. {
26. throw new NotSerializableException();
27. }
28. private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException
29. {
30. throw new NotSerializableException();
31. }
32.
33. }
34. public class Test
35. {
36. public static void main(String[] args)
37. throws Exception
38. {
39. Employee emp = new Employee("Sharma", 10000);
40.
41. System.out.println("name = " + emp.name);
42. System.out.println("salary = " + emp.salary);
43.
44. FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("abc.ser");
45. ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
46.
47. oos.writeObject(emp);
48.
49. oos.close();
50. fos.close();
51.
52. System.out.println("Object has been serialized");
53.
54. FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("ab.txt");
55. ObjectInputStream o = new ObjectInputStream(f);
56.
57. Employee emp1 = (Employee)o.readObject();
58.
59. o.close();
60. f.close();
61.
62. System.out.println("Object has been deserialized");
63.
64. System.out.println("name = " + emp1.name);
65. System.out.println("salary = " + emp1.salary);
66. }
67. }
1. import java.io.*;
2. class Depersist{
3. public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{

o The ServerSocket object is instantiated by the server which denotes the port number
to which, the connection will be made.
o After instantiating the ServerSocket object, the server invokes accept() method of
ServerSocket class which makes server wait until the client attempts to connect to the
server on the given port.
o Meanwhile, the server is waiting, a socket is created by the client by instantiating
Socket class. The socket class constructor accepts the server port number and server
name.
o The Socket class constructor attempts to connect with the server on the specified
name. If the connection is established, the client will have a socket object that can
communicate with the server.
o The accept() method invoked by the server returns a reference to the new socket on
the server that is connected with the server.

o forName() method of Class class: The forName() method is used to load the class
dynamically. It returns the instance of Class class. It should be used if you know the
fully qualified name of the class. This cannot be used for primitive types.
o getClass() method of Object class: It returns the instance of Class class. It should be
used if you know the type. Moreover, it can be used with primitives.
o the .class syntax: If a type is available, but there is no instance then it is possible to
obtain a Class by appending ".class" to the name of the type. It can be used for
primitive data type also.

9. }
10. else
11. {
12. System.out.println("bye");
13. }
14. }
15. }
Output
bye
Explanation
The Integer class caches integer values from -127 to 127. Therefore, the Integer
objects can only be created in the range -128 to 127. The operator == will not work
for the value greater than 127; thus bye is printed.
o You don't need to write lengthy and repetitive codes. Just use an abstract class with a
4- or 5-line long clone() method.
o It is the easiest and most efficient way of copying objects, especially if we are
applying it to an already developed or an old project. Just define a parent class,
implement Cloneable in it, provide the definition of the clone() method and the task
will be done.
o Clone() is the fastest way to copy the array.
Disadvantage of Object Cloning
o To use the Object.clone() method, we have to change many syntaxes to our code, like
implementing a Cloneable interface, defining the clone() method and handling
CloneNotSupportedException, and finally, calling Object.clone(), etc.
o We have to implement the Cloneable interface while it does not have any methods in
it. We have to use it to tell the JVM that we can perform a clone() on our object.
o Object.clone() is protected, so we have to provide our own clone() and indirectly call
Object.clone() from it.
o Object.clone() does not invoke any constructor, so we do not have any control over
object construction.
o If you want to write a clone method in a child class, then all of its superclasses should
define the clone() method in them or inherit it from another parent class. Otherwise,
the super.clone() chain will fail.
o Object.clone() supports only shallow copying, but we will need to override it if we
need deep cloning.
