What are the fundamental principles of OOP? - 1. Inheritance
2. Abstraction
3. Polymorphism
4. Encapsulation
What is Inheritance in Java? - Inheritance is one of the key principles of OOP. Through Inheritance, one
class can inherit the properties of another class. The class from which properties are inherited is called a
"super" class and the class to which properties are inherited is called a sub class.
What is Constructor Overloading and its use? - A class can have any number of constructors. These
constructors will have different lists of arguments. It is called constructor overloading. Constructor
overloading provides different ways to instantiate a class.
What is polymorphism in Java? - Polymorphism refers to any entity whether it is a method, constructor
or an operator which takes many forms or can be used for multiple tasks.
What is method overloading in Java? - When a class has more than one method with the same name but
with different lists of arguments.
, What is method overriding? - When a super class method is modified in the sub class then it is called
method overriding.
Does Java support multiple inheritance? - Java supports multiple inheritance only through interfaces.
That means a class can implement more than one interface but can not extend more than one class.
What is the difference between a constructor and a method? - A constructor is a special member of a
class which is used to create the objects of the class. It is special because it will have the same name as
the class and will have no return type.
A method, however, is an ordinary member of a class which is used to implement some behavior of a
class. It will have its own name and return type.
Can we overload the main() method? - Yes, we can overload a main() method. A class can have any
number of main() methods, but, one of these must be in the form "public static void main(String[] args)"
in order to start the execution.
How are exceptions handled in Java? - Java has its own mechanism to handle the exceptions. In Java,
exceptions are handled using three blocks - Try, Catch, and Finally blocks.
Try - The code to be monitored for exceptions will be kept in this block.
Catch - If any exceptions occurred in try block, those exceptions must be caught in this block.
Finally - This block will always be executed.
What are PATH and CLASSPATH? - PATH and CLASSPATH are two environment variables which need to
be set in order to compile and run the Java programs.
