Inheritance interview questions and answers in java

Inheritance is one of the oops concept. If any interview you have attended on java developer there must and should be inheritance related questions you will face it. So, here are few of the inheritance questions and answers. If any one of you people are facing more than these interview questions, share with me through "contact me here" gadget or drop me an email to "subbareddynallamachu@gmail.com".

Q1: What is Inheritance in java?
A: Deriving new class from existing classes such that the new classes acquire all the features of existing classes is called inheritance.

Q2: Why super class members are available in sub class?
A: Because, Sub class object contains a copy of Super class object.

Q3: What is the advantages of inheritance?
A: Inheritance main use is, a programmer reuses the super class code without rewriting it, in creation of sub classes. So, developing classes becomes very easy. Hence, the programmers productivity is increased.

Q4: What is the use of super key word in java?
A: Mainly we will use the super keyword for accessing the super class member or method, when the both have the same name in super class and sub class.

For Ex: If i have declared a method as show() in super class and also i have declared same method name in sub class. In that scenario I need to execute the super class method into sub class, we will use super keyword.

                  super.show();

Q5: What all the types of inheritance in java?
A: Mainly we have two types of inheritances in java. That are,
                        1. Single Inheritance
                        2. Multiple Inheritance

         By the combination of these inheritances we have some other types of inheritances called,
                      1. Multi-level Inheritance
                      2. Hierarchical Inheritance
                      3. Hybrid Inheritance

Note: In Java Multiple Inheritance not supported between the classes in java. For avoiding these problem in java introduced new concept called Interfaces.

Q6: Why multiple inheritance is not available in java?
A: Multiple inheritance is not available in java because of the following reasons.
  1. It leads to confusion for a java program.
  2. The programmer can achieve multiple inheritance by using interfaces.
  3. The programmer can achieve multiple inheritance by repeatedly using single inheritance.

JVM, JRE and JDK in Java

JVM, JRE and JDK are the most basic common concepts to know in java. These are the basic features to understand how Java architecture works? JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine, which doesn't have any physical directories created in java installation. JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment, which creates the directory under Java installation path and also present in JDK. JDK stands for Java Development Kit, which creates the directory in Java installation path and also it has it's own JRE. Since we have already learn that Java is platform independent means if we have implemented any of the java class in one environment, it will be executed in any other environment and provides the same output. But, JVM, JRE and JDK all are platform dependent . So that, for windows, linux, unix, mac, solaris..etc has it's own JVM, JRE and JDK. One will be not compatible with other environments. While installing the Java, we might come to know a bit about JRE and JDK. But, JVM is the other...

Prime, Fibonacci and Factorial number with example in java

Prime number, Fibonacci series and Factorial number programs are most commonly asked questions in interview. Read this article to know what is and how to write programs for prime number, fibonacci series and factorial number. Prime Number: prime number is natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisor other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 is not a prime number, is called Composite number . For example, 7 is a prime number. Because it can divide with 1 and 7 only. Where as 8 is composite number. Since it has the divisor 2 and 4 in addition to the 1 and 8. The below example represents the finding the passing number is prime number or not. If the passing number is prime number it will print true otherwise it will print false. package com . javatbrains . practice ; public class PrimeNumber { public boolean isPrimeNumber ( int number ) { if ( number <= 1 ) return false ; // There's only one ...
