Tough core Java interview questions and answers
What is tough core
java interview question ? Why do people look for tough Java questions before
going for interview? well I don‘t thing I need to answer these tough questions
because its pretty natural to prepare for tough questions even if you are not
expecting tough questions from core Java. If you are prepare for tough and than you feel more
confident and answer other Java interview question with confidence. On the other
hand if you are not prepare for tough and tricky core Java questions than seeing
them on Java interview or written test may surprise you. But definition of is not universal, same Java question which is easy for
one programmer might be tough for other Java programmer. That‘s why it‘s best to
prepare your own list of tough interview questions before appearing on any Java
job interview. In this article I am going to share you with my <b>Top 10 tough</b>
core Java interview questions and answers, which may help you in Java
interview.
Here is my list of 10 tough or tricky Java interview questions. These
questions are mostly from Core Java and I have not included . As I said you may know answers of these tough Java question or
you may not even find it tough enough to challenge your Java knowledge but once
upon a time these were asked in various Java interview and many programmer
including my friends and colleagues finds them tough to
answer.
<b>Why wait and notify is declared in Object class</b>
instead of Thread ?
Another , how can you answer this question if you are not designed Java
programming language. anyway some common
sense and deep knowledge of Java programming helps to answer such tough core
java interview question. See this blog post to learn .
<b>Why multiple inheritance is not supported in Java</b>
?
I found this core Java question really tough to answer because
your answer may not satisfy Interviewer, in most cases Interviewer is looking
for specific points and if you can bring them, they would be happy. Key to
answer this kind of tough question in Java is to prepare topic well to
accommodate any follow-ups. See for answer of this tough Java
question.
<b>Why Java does not support operator overloading</b>
One more similar category of tough Java question. C++ supports
operator overloading than why not Java? this is the argument Interviewer will
give to you and some time even say that + operator is overloaded in Java for
String concatenation, Don‘t be fooled with such arguments. See for detailed answer of
this tricky Java question.
<b>Why String is immutable in Java?</b>
My
favorite Java interview question, this is tough, tricky but same time very
useful as well. Some interviewer also ask this question as Why String is final
in Java. look at this post for some points which make sense on
<b>Why char array is preferred</b>
to store password than String in Java?
Another which is based on String and believe me there are only few
Java programmer which can answer this question correctly. This is a real
tough core Java interview question and again solid knowledge of String is
required to answer this. see to find out
answer of this tough Java question.
<b>How to create thread-safe</b>
singleton in Java using double checked locking?
This Java question is
also asked as What is
singleton and how to do you write it. Well Singleton created with double
checked locking before Java 5 was broker and its possible to have multiple
instance of Singleton if multiple thread try to create instance of Singleton at
same time. from Java 5 its easy to . but if interviewer persist with double
checked locking then you have to write that code
for them. remember to use volatile variable. See for more details on this
topic.

<b>Write Java program to create deadlock in Java and fix it</b>
One of the classical but tough core Java interview question and
you are likely to fail if you have not involved in coding of multi-threaded
concurrent Java application. See for complete answer of this
tough core Java interview question
<b>What happens if your Serializable</b>
class contains a member which is not serializable? How do you fix
it?
Any attempt to Serialize that class will fail with NotSerializableException,
but this can be easily solved by making that variable for static in Java. See for more
details.
<b>Why wait and notify called from synchronized</b>
method in Java?
Another tough core Java question for wait and notify.
They are called from because wait and modify need monitor on Object
on which wait or notify get called. See for complete answer of this
tough and tricky Java multi-threading question.
<b>Can you override</b>
static method in Java? if I create same method in subclass is it compile time
error?
No you can not override but its not a compile time error to declare exactly same
method in sub class, That is called method hiding in Java. See for complete answer of this tough Java
interview question.
These were my list of <b>tough core Java interview</b>
question and answers. Some of the Java question doesn‘t look that tough for
experience programmer but they are really tricky to answer for
intermediate and beginners in Java. by the way if you have faced any tough Java
question in interview then please share with us.
