 OOPs Important Interview Questions
Q 1. What is object-oriented programming (OOPs)?
Ans: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a
programming paradigm that organizes code into
objects, which are instances of classes.

It focuses on encapsulating data and behavior

together, promoting modularity and reusability.
Q 2. What is encapsulation?
Ans: Encapsulation is the concept of bundling data
(attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on
that data into a single unit (class). It hides the
internal details of an object and provides controlled
access through methods.

Q 3. What is inheritance?
Ans: Inheritance is a mechanism where a new class
(subclass or derived class) inherits properties and
behaviors from an existing class (superclass or base
class).

It promotes code reuse and supports hierarchical

relationships.

06
Q 4. What is polymorphism?
Ans: Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to
be treated as instances of a common superclass.

It enables methods to be invoked on objects without

knowing their specific types, as long as they adhere
to the common interface.

Q 5. What is a constructor?
Ans: A constructor is a special method that is
automatically called when an object is created.

It initializes the object's attributes and prepares the

object for use. Constructors often have the same
name as the class.

07
Q 6. What is method overloading?
Ans: Method overloading is the ability to define multiple
methods in a class with the same name but different
parameter lists.

The methods are differentiated based on the number

or types of parameters they accept.

Q 7. What is method overriding?

Ans: Method overriding is the process by which a subclass
provides a specific implementation for a method that
is already defined in its superclass.

The overridden method in the subclass has the same

name, return type, and parameters.
Q 8. What is an abstract class?
Ans: An abstract class is a class that cannot be
instantiated on its own.

It may contain abstract methods (methods without a

body) that must be implemented by its concrete
subclasses. Abstract classes provide a common
interface.

08
Q 9. What is an interface?
Ans: An interface is a contract that defines a set of
methods that a class must implement.

It allows multiple classes to adhere to the same

interface, promoting a form of multiple inheritance.

Interfaces only declare method signatures, not

implementations.

Q 10. What is a static method?

Ans: A static method belongs to the class itself, not to
instances of the class.

It can be called using the class name and is often

used for utility functions or operations that don't
require instance-specific data.

09
Q 11. What is a final class?
Ans: A final class is a class that cannot be subclassed. It
prevents other classes from extending it and
inheriting its behavior.

Q 12. What is composition?

Ans: Composition is a design principle where a class
contains objects of other classes as part of its
attributes.

It allows creating complex structures by combining

simpler classes.

Q 13. What is a super keyword?

Ans: The super keyword is used to refer to the parent
class or superclass. It can be used to call methods
and constructors from the superclass.

10
Q 14. What is method hiding?
Ans: Method hiding is a concept in object-oriented
programming where a subclass defines a method
with the same name as a method in its superclass,
but the subclass method doesn't override the
superclass method.

Instead, it creates a new, independent method with

the same name. This can lead to confusion and
unexpected behavior, so it's generally recommended
to use method overriding instead.

Q 15. What is a constructor chaining?

Ans: Constructor chaining is the process of calling one
constructor from another within the same class or
between a superclass and a subclass.

It allows for code reuse and efficient initialization.

11
Q 16. What is the diamond problem in multiple
inheritance?
Ans: The diamond problem occurs in languages that
support multiple inheritance, where a class inherits
from two classes that have a common base class.

This can lead to ambiguity in method resolution.

Some languages provide mechanisms to handle this,
like virtual inheritance.

Q 17. What is a shallow copy and a deep copy?

Ans: A shallow copy copies the references of objects
contained within an object, while a deep copy
creates new instances of the objects contained.

A deep copy results in a completely independent

copy of the original object and its contained objects.

12
Q 18. What is a virtual method?
Ans: A virtual method is a method declared in a base class
that can be overridden by its subclasses. The actual
implementation invoked is determined by the
runtime type of the object, supporting
polymorphism.

Q 19. How does Java achieve multiple inheritance?

Ans: Java achieves multiple inheritance through
interfaces. A class can implement multiple
interfaces, allowing it to inherit multiple sets of
method declarations.

Q 20. What is the purpose of the final keyword in

Java?
Ans: The final keyword can be applied to classes,
methods, and variables. A final class cannot be
subclassed, a final method cannot be overridden,
and a final variable cannot be reassigned after its
initial assignment.

Q 21. What is the SOLID principle?
Ans: The SOLID principle is an acronym for a set of design
principles that promote maintainable and scalable
code:

Q 22. What is the difference between an abstract

class and an interface?
Ans: An abstract class can have both abstract and
concrete methods, while an interface only has
method signatures (no method implementations).

A class can implement multiple interfaces, but it can

inherit from only one abstract class.

14
Q 23. How is encapsulation related to data hiding?
Ans: Encapsulation involves bundling data and methods
together.

Data hiding is the practice of making the internal

data of an object inaccessible to the outside world,
except through well-defined methods. Encapsulation
helps achieve data hiding.

Q 24. What is the difference between composition

and inheritance?
Ans: Inheritance creates a relationship between a
subclass and a superclass, allowing the subclass to
inherit properties and methods.

Composition involves creating an object within

another object to achieve complex behavior without
the tight coupling of inheritance.

Q 25. What is the role of a destructor in C++?

Ans: In C++, a destructor is a special method with the
same name as the class, preceded by a tilde (~). It is
called when an object is about to be destroyed,
allowing for cleanup tasks such as releasing
resources or memory.
