----::Core Java Interview QuesƟons::----

===================================================================================
=================

1. what are staƟc blocks and staƟc iniƟalizers in Java?

==>When a block is decorated or associated with the word static, it is called a
static block.

2.How to call one constructor from the other constructor?

==>using this().

3.What is method overriding in java?

==>If subclass (child class) has the same method as declared in the parent class,
it is known as method overriding in Java.

4.What is super keyword in java?

==>The super keyword in Java is a reference variable which is used to refer
immediate parent class object.

5.How to call immediate parent class constructor from the sub class
constructor?
==>Use of super() to access superclass constructor

6.Difference between method overloading and method overriding in java?

==> Overriding Overloading
1)Implements “runtime polymorphism” Implements “compile time polymorphism”
2)The method call is determined at runtime The method call is determined at
compile time
based on the object type
3)Occurs between superclass and subclass Occurs between the methods in the
same class
4)Have the same signature Have the same name, but the parameters
are different
(name and method arguments)
5)On error, the effect will be visible On error, it can be caught at
compile time
at runtime

7.Difference between abstract class and interface?

==> Abstract class
Interface
1) Abstract class can have abstract and non-abstract methods. |
Interface can have only abstract methods. Since Java 8, it can have default and
static methods also.
2) Abstract class doesn't support multiple inheritance. |
Interface supports multiple inheritance.
3) Abstract class can have final, non-final, static and non-static variables. |
Interface has only static and final variables.
4) Abstract class can provide the implementation of interface. |
Interface can't provide the implementation of abstract class.
5) The abstract keyword is used to declare abstract class. |
The interface keyword is used to declare interface.
 6) An abstract class can extend another Java class and implement multiple Java
interfaces. | An interface can extend another Java interface only.
7) An abstract class can be extended using keyword "extends". | An
interface can be implemented using keyword "implements".
8) A Java abstract class can have class members like private, protected, etc. |
Members of a Java interface are public by default.
