Exception Handling is a mechanism to handle runtime errors.It is mainly used to handle checked exceptions.
74)What is difference between Checked Exception and Unchecked Exception?
1)Checked Exception:
|
The classes that extend Throwable class except RuntimeException and
Error are known as checked exceptions e.g.IOException,SQLException etc.
Checked exceptions are checked at compile-time.
|
2)Unchecked Exception:
|
The classes that extend RuntimeException are known as unchecked
exceptions e.g. ArithmeticException,NullPointerException etc. Unchecked
exceptions are not checked at compile-time.
|
75)What is the base class for Error and Exception?
76)Is it necessary that each try block must be followed by a catch block?
| It is not necessary that each try block must be followed
by a catch block. It should be followed by either a catch block OR a
finally block. And whatever exceptions are likely to be thrown should be
declared in the throws clause of the method. |
77)What is finally block?
- finally block is a block that is always executed.
|
78)Can finally block be used without catch?
- Yes, by try block. finally must be followed by either try or catch.
|
79)Is there any case when finally will not be executed?
- finally block will not be executed if program exits(either by
calling System.exit() or by causing a fatal error that causes the
process to abort).
|
80)What is difference between throw and throws?
| 1)throw is used to explicitly throw an exception. | throws is used to declare an exception. |
| 2)checked exceptions can not be propagated with throw only. | checked exception can be propagated with throws. |
| 3)throw is followed by an instance. | throws is followed by class. |
| 4)throw is used within the method. | throws is used with the method signature. |
| 5)You cannot throw multiple exception | You can declare multiple exception e.g.
public void method()throws IOException,SQLException. |
81)Can an exception be rethrown?
82)Can subclass overriding method declare an exception if parent class method doesn't throw an exception ?
| Yes but only unchecked exception not checked.
|
83)What is exception propagation ?
| Forwarding the exception object to the invoking method is known as exception propagation.

Core Java: String Handling Interview Questions
| There is given a list of string handling interview
questions with short and pointed answers. If you know any string
handling interview question, kindly post it in the comment section. |
84)What is the meaning of immutable in terms of String?
|
The simple meaning of immutable is unmodifiable or unchangeable. Once
string object has been created, its value can't be changed.
|
85)Why string objects are immutable in java?
|
Because java uses the concept of string literal. Suppose there are 5
reference variables,all referes to one object "sachin".If one reference
variable changes the value of the object, it will be affected to all the
reference variables. That is why string objects are immutable in java
|
86)How many ways we can create the string object?
|
There are two ways to create the string object, by string literal and by new keyword.
|
87)How many objects will be created in the following code?
- String s1="Welcome";
- String s2="Welcome";
- String s3="Welcome";
88)Why java uses the concept of string literal?
|
To make Java more memory efficient (because no new objects are created if it exists already in string constant pool).
|
89)How many objects will be created in the following code?
- String s=new String("Welcome");
|
Two objects, one in string constant pool and other in non-pool(heap).
|
90)What is the basic difference between string and stringbuffer object?
| String is an immutable object. StringBuffer is a mutable object. |
91)What is the difference between StringBuffer and StringBuilder ?
| StringBuffer is synchronized whereas StringBuilder is not synchronized. |
92)How can we create immutable class in java ?
We can create immutable class as the String class by defining final class and
|
93)What is the purpose of toString() method in java ?
The toString() method returns the string representation
of any object. If you print any object, java compiler internally invokes
the toString() method on the object. So overriding the toString()
method, returns the desired output, it can be the state of an object
etc. depends on your implementation.

Core Java : Nested classes and Interfaces Interview Questions
94)What is nested class?
| A class which is declared inside another class is known
as nested class. There are 4 types of nested class member inner class,
local inner class, annonymous inner class and static nested class.
|
95) Is there any difference between nested classes and inner classes?
| Yes ofcourse! inner classes are non-static nested classes i.e. inner classes are the part of nested classes.
|
96) Can we access the non-final local variable, inside the local inner class?
| No, local variable must be constant if you want to access it in local inner class.
|
97)What is nested interface ?
| Any interface i.e. declared inside the interface or class, is known as nested interface. It is static by default.
|
98)Can a class have an interface?
| Yes, it is known as nested interface.
|
99)Can an Interface have a class?
| Yes, they are static implicitely.

Core Java : Multithreading Interview Questions
| There is given a list of multithreading interview
questions and answers. If you know any multithreading interview
question, kindly post it in the comment section. |
100) What is multithreading?
| Multithreading is a process of executing multiple threads simultaneously.Its main advantage is:
|
- Threads share the same address space.
- Thread is lightweight.
- Cost of communication between process is low.
|
101) What is thread?
| A thread is a lightweight subprocess.It is a separate
path of execution.It is called separate path of execution because each
thread runs in a separate stack frame.
|
102)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. |
103) What does join() method?
The join() method waits for a thread to die. In other
words, it causes the currently running threads to stop executing until
the thread it joins with completes its task.
|
104) What is difference between wait() and sleep() method?
| 1) The wait() method is defined in Object class. | The sleep() method is defined in Thread class. |
| 2) wait() method releases the lock. | The sleep() method doesn't releases the lock. |
105) Is it possible to start a thread twice?
No, there is no possibility to start a thread twice. If we does, it throws an exception.
|
106) Can we call the run() method instead of start()?
yes, but it will not work as a thread rather it will work
as a normal object so there will not be context-switching between the
threads.
|
107) What about the daemon threads?
The daemon threads are basically the low priority threads
that provides the background support to the user threads. It provides
services to the user threads.
|
108)Can we make the user thread as daemon thread if thread is started?
No, if you do so, it will throw IllegalThreadStateException
|
109)What is shutdown hook?
The shutdown hook is basically a thread i.e. invoked
implicitely before JVM shuts down. So we can use it perform clean up
resource.
|
110)When should we interrupt a thread?
We should interrupt a thread if we want to break out the sleep or wait state of a thread.
|
Core Java : Synchronization Interview Questions
| The following interview questions are also the part of multithreading interview questions. |
111) What is synchronization?
| Synchronization is the capabilility of control the access of multiple threads to any shared resource.It is used:
|
- To prevent thread interference.
- To prevent consistency problem.
|
112) What is the purpose of Synchnorized block?
- Synchronized block is used to lock an object for any shared resource.
- Scope of synchronized block is smaller than the method.
|
113)Can Java object be locked down for exclusive use by a given thread?
| Yes. You can lock an object by putting it in a
"synchronized" block. The locked object is inaccessible to any thread
other than the one that explicitly claimed it. |
114) What is static synchronization?
|
If you make any static method as synchronized, the lock will be on the class not on object.
|
115)What is the difference between notify() and notifyAll()?
| notify() is used to unblock one waiting thread whereas notifyAll() method is used to unblock all the threads in waiting state. |
116)What is deadlock?
| Deadlock is a situation when two threads are waiting on
each other to release a resource. Each thread waiting for a resource
which is held by the other waiting thread.
