Diff_Interface&Abstract-class

What is Interface:
===================
-> The interface in java is a mechanism to achieve abstraction.
-> There can be only abstract methods in the java interface not method body.
-> It is used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance in Java.
-> Java Interface also represents IS-A relationship.

Why use Java interface?:
======================
1. It is used to achieve abstraction.
2. By interface, we can support the functionality of multiple inheritance.
3. It can be used to achieve loose coupling.

Abstraction:   (Security Purpose)
===========
-> Highlighting set of services what we are offering and hiding implementation details is nothing but Abstraction. Example: ATM.
-> Hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as abstraction.
-> For example: phone call, we don't know the internal processing.
-> In java, we use abstract class and interface to achieve abstraction.


Interface
=================
1. If we don't know anything about implementation just we have requirement specification
     then we should go for Interface.
2. Every methods inside Interface is always public and abstract.
3. We can't declare Interface methods with the following modifiers: private, protected,
     static, final, synchronized, native and strictfp.
4. Every variable present inside Interface must be public, static, final whether we are declaring
    or not.
5. We can't declare Interface variables with the following modifiers private, protected, transient
    and volatile.
6. For Interface variables compulsory we should perform initialization at the time of declaration,
    otherwise we will get compile time error.
7. Inside Interface we can't declare static and instance blocks.
8. Inside Interface we can't take constructor.
==========================================================================================

Abstract Class
=============
1. If we are talking about implementation but not completely (partial implementation)
     then we should go for Abstract class.
2. Every method present inside Abstract Class need not be public & abstract, we can
     take concrete methods also.
3. There are no restrictions on abstract class method modifiers.
4. Every variable present inside Abstract Class need not be public static and final.
5. There are no restrictions on Abstract class variable modifiers.
6. For Abstract Class variables which is not required to perform initialization at the time of declaration.
7. Inside Abstract Class we can declare static and instance blocks.
8. Inside Abstract Class we can take constructor.

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...

JAVA Expert Interview Questions Answers 2017

Java Basics ::  Interview Questions and Answers Home  »  Interview Questions  »  Technical Interview  »  Java Basics  » Interview Questions 1.     What is the difference between a constructor and a method? A constructor is a member function of a class that is used to create objects of that class. It has the same name as the class itself, has no return type, and is invoked using the new operator. A method is an ordinary member function of a class. It has its own name, a return type (which may be void), and is invoked using the dot operator. 2.     What is the purpose of garbage collection in Java, and when is it used? The purpose of garbage collection is to identify and discard objects that are no longer needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused. A Java object is subject to garbage collection when it becomes unreachable to the program in which it is used. 3.  ...
