How HashMap internally works ?
class Test{
int x;
Test(int x){
this.x=x;
}
public int hashCode(){
System.out.println("hashCode() Called");
return x;
}
public boolean equals(Object o){
System.out.println("equals(-) Called");
return this.x==((Test)o).x;
}
public String toString(){
return "Test("+x+")";
}
}
class HSDemo{
public static void main(String... arg){
HashSet<Test> hs=new HashSet<>();
Test t1=new Test(5);
System.out.println("Here hashCode called to chk wether there is a bucket with hashCode 5 or not");
hs.add(t1);
//here equals method not called because first hashCode is called bucket found
//den in that bucket comparison starts first compare on the basis of refrence
//With the help of == operator so in bucket only one element is there and second
//element is discarded due to same refrence equals not called
System.out.println("\nTrying to add objects with same refrence but Set doesnt allow");
hs.add(t1);
System.out.println(hs);
System.out.println();
//but here firs hashCode called buck found
//den == operator called to chk refrence wise duplicacy
//nd unfortunately refrence is diff so now equals will called
//to chk data wise duplicacy and data is same so this is also discarded
Test t2=new Test(5);
System.out.println("\nTrying to add objects with different refrence and same data but Set doesnt allow");
hs.add(t2);
System.out.println(hs);
}
}

Mockito interview Questions

1.       Question 1. What Is Mockito? Answer : Mockito allows creation of mock object for the purpose of Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven development. Unlike creating actual object, Mockito allows creation of fake object (external dependencies) which allows it to give consistent results to a given invocation. 2.       Question 2. Why Do We Need Mockito? What Are The Advantages? Answer : Mockito differentiates itself from the other testing framework by removing the expectation beforehand. So, by doing this, it reduces the coupling. Most of the testing framework works on the "expect-run-verify". Mockito allows it to make it "run-verify" framework. Mockito also provides annotation which allows to reduce the boilerplate code. 3.       Question 3. Can You Explain A Mockito Framework? Answer : In Mockito, you always check a particular class. The dependency in that class is injected using m...

application.properties vs application.yml vs bootstarp.yml in spring boot

APPLICATION.PROPERTIES: In Spring Boot, configuration details are kept in the  application.properties  file .The application.properties is present under   the classpath(file location src/main/resources ).The basic configuration properties like DB details, server port etc. is present in the   application.properties  file as given below – spring.datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@manoj:1521:orcl spring.datasource.username=tog spring.datasource.password=sci YAML File: Spring Boot supports YAML based properties configurations to run the application. Instead of  application.properties we can                                                         use  application.yml f...
