Answer: The Java API (Application Programming Interface) is a
collection of pre-built classes and packages that provide commonly
used functionality.

5. What is the difference between == and .equals()?

Answer:
• == compares object references.
• .equals() compares object content.

6. Explain the static keyword in Java.

Answer:
static is used to create class members that belong to the class rather
than an instance.
It is shared among all instances of the class.

7. What is the purpose of the final keyword?

Answer:
final is used to declare a constant variable or a method that cannot be
overridden or a class that cannot be extended.

8. What is the difference between String and StringBuffer?

Answer:
String is immutable (unchangeable).
StringBuffer is mutable (changeable).

9. Explain the try, catch, and finally blocks.

Answer:
try block contains the code that may throw an exception.
catch block handles the exception.
All Notes Uploaded for Free on Telegram Group (@codersworld1)
finally block contains code that will be executed regardless of whether
an exception is thrown or not.

10. What is the purpose of the this keyword?

Answer: this refers to the current instance of the class and is used to
differentiate instance variables from local variables.

11-20: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts

11. What is encapsulation?

Answer: Encapsulation is the bundling of data and methods that
operate on the data into a single unit (class), restricting access to some
of the object's components.

12. Explain inheritance in Java.

Answer: Inheritance allows a class (subclass/derived class) to inherit
properties and behaviors from another class (superclass/base class).

13. What is polymorphism?

Answer: Polymorphism allows objects of different types to be treated
as objects of a common type. It can be achieved through method
overloading and overriding.

14. What is an abstract class?

Answer: An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and may
have abstract methods. It serves as a blueprint for other classes.

15. What is an interface?

All Notes Uploaded for Free on Telegram Group (@codersworld1)

Answer: An interface is a collection of abstract methods. A class
implements an interface, guaranteeing the implementation of its
methods.

16. Explain the concept of method overloading.-

Answer: Method overloading allows a class to have multiple methods
having the same name, but different parameters.

17. What is method overriding?

Answer: Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific
implementation for a method that is already defined in its superclass.

18. What is the super keyword used for?

Answer: The super keyword is used to refer to the immediate parent
class object and can be used to invoke the parent class methods or
access its fields.

19.What is a constructor?
Answer: A constructor is a special method used to initialize objects. It
has the same name as the class and is called when an object of the
class is created.

20. Explain the concept of method chaining.

Answer: Method chaining is a programming technique where multiple
methods are called on the same object in a single line, resulting in a
more concise and readable code.

21-30: Exception Handling

All Notes Uploaded for Free on Telegram Group (@codersworld1)

21. What is an exception in Java?
Answer: An exception is an event that occurs during the execution of a
program and disrupts the normal flow of instructions.

22. Explain the difference between checked and unchecked

exceptions.
Answer:
Checked exceptions are checked at compile-time and must be handled
using try-catch or declared in the method signature using throws.
Unchecked exceptions are not checked at compile-time and include
RuntimeException and its subclasses.

23. What is the purpose of the throw keyword?

Answer: The throw keyword is used to explicitly throw an exception
within a method.

24. Explain the throws clause.

Answer: The throws clause is used in method declarations to indicate
that the method may throw one or more exceptions. It is used to
delegate the responsibility of exception handling to the calling method.

25. What is the try-with-resources statement?

Answer: The try-with-resources statement is used to automatically
close resources (like files, sockets) when they are no longer needed,
and it was introduced in Java 7.

26. What is the finally block used for in exception handling?

Answer: The finally block contains code that will be executed regardless
of whether an exception is thrown or not. It is often used for cleanup
activities.

27. Explain the catch block without an exception type.
Answer: A catch block without an exception type catches all types of
exceptions. It is generally used as a final catch-all to handle any
unanticipated exceptions.

28. Can we have multiple catch blocks for a single try block?
Answer: Yes, a try block can be followed by multiple catch blocks, each
handling a different type of exception.

29. What is the RuntimeException class?

Answer: RuntimeException is a subclass of Exception and represents
exceptions that can be thrown during the normal operation of the Java
Virtual Machine.

30. How does the assert statement work?

Answer: The assert statement is used for debugging purposes and
checks a boolean expression. If it is false, an AssertionError is thrown.

41. What is multithreading?

Answer: Multithreading is the concurrent execution of two or more
threads to perform multiple tasks at the same time.

42. Explain the difference between process and thread.

Answer:
A process is an independent program with its own memory space.
A thread is the smallest unit of execution within a process, sharing the
same memory space.

resources by multiple threads, preventing concurrent access.

46. What is the wait() and notify() method used for?

Answer:
• wait() is used to make a thread wait until another thread signals
the change in condition.
• notify() is used to wake up one of the threads that are waiting
after a call to wait().

47. What is the purpose of the join() method in Java threads?

Answer: The join() method is used to wait for a thread to finish its
execution before moving on to the next task.

48. Explain the concept of thread safety.

Answer: Thread safety ensures that a piece of code or object can be
accessed by multiple threads without causing data corruption or
unexpected behavior.

49. What is a daemon thread?

Answer: A daemon thread runs in the background, providing services to
other threads. It does not prevent the program from terminating if it's
the only thread running.

50. Explain the sleep() method in Java threads.

Answer: The sleep() method is used to pause the execution of a thread
for a specified amount of time.
