Java Interview Questions for 2 to 5 yrs - Java Developer

Hello All,
This blog lists the interview questions that you are likely to face in an Interview if you are Java developer between 2 to 5 years.
When you reach experience level of more than 2 years it is assumed by the interviewer that you have good hand on experience in Java stack.
Sometimes the interviews are for a specific project. Like a project may require candidate to have experience in Spring or Struts or Hibernate. Or sometimes the interview is not for a specific project and is for a open requirement.

Sometimes specific skills are looked for, like the candidate should have experience in SOAP and REST Web-services.

The interviewer is not expecting the candidate to know the designing or high level architecture of the project. What he is expecting is the candidate should be aware of the Project, the technologies used and should be aware of the role he played in the project. As this is not a fresher interview the questions would start with basics and then go in deep.

Below here are the list of questions.

Java Singleton Pattern

Singleton pattern is the most common types of patterns used in Java. It is also very common that interviewers ask questions to explain and implement singleton pattern

Lets first define Singleton
Singleton is a class whose only one object can be created.
There are couple of ways to implement Singleton class. Lets see the simplest one first.

Java Collection Interview Questions

Java Interview Questions.

Java Custom ArrayList

This blog explains how internally a ArrayList stores data. To simplify the actual ArrayList implementation I have created a custom ArrayList class with minimum methods to add and get the elements. The ArrayList here uses generics and can also be instantiated without the generic parameter as allowed for java.util.ArrayList class.

Java Collections : Internal Working

Java Collections:

Going for an Job Interview? be prepared with Java Collections framework. Java Collection framework is the most preferred topic by interviewers. It gives them the idea of how much effort the interviewee as taken to understand this framework and clear the interview.

And guess what, similar questions are now also asked in US for H1B visa holders, or MS post graduates looking for job.

This blog explains internal working of the Collection framework. For Interview Question on Collection refer Java Collection Interview Questions. 

For Java Interview questions for 2 to 5 years Senior Developer refer this blog.

Recently Blockchain has also made place in Java Interviews. Blockchain internally is also a Data Structure. To know more click here : Implementing Blockchain using Java

Custom implementation of Collections and Data Structure:

Internal Working of Arraylist
Internal Working of LinkedList
Internal Working of HashMap
Internal Working of TreeMap

Java Collection internally uses the primitive and core elements like Arrays and datastructures like  Linked List, Tree etc. So if you are asked a question to explain the internal working of any of the Collection classes, don't be surprised. Be it an interview for an Junior Java developer or even for an Architect, Java Collection is always something that you will have on you plate.

Java provides many collection classes that can be used to store data. Knowing which collection class to use for best performance and optimum result is the key.

First the basics.
Below two image shows the complete hierarchy of interfaces and classes present in the Collection framework.

The Collections come in basic four flavors:
Lists : List of things ( Classes that implement List Interface)
Sets : Unique things ( Classes that implement Set Interface)
Maps : Things with unique id ( Classes that implement Map Interface)
Queues : Things arranged in order ( Classes that implement Queue Interface)

The blue ones are the Interfaces and the red ones are the implementation classes

Below is Map. A map is a special type of collection.

          Below table shows the different concrete classes implementing these interfaces

Maps	Sets	Lists	Queues	Utilities
HashMap	HashSet	ArrayList	PriorityQueue	Collections
Hashtable	LinkedHashSet	Vector		Arrays
TreeMap	TreeSet	LinkedList
LinkedHashMap
