30 oops Que

1. What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

Definition:
OOP is a programming paradigm that uses "objects" to design applications and programs. It utilizes
several principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction to create
modular and reusable code.

Real-Life Example:
Consider a smartphone. It has attributes like brand, model, and storage capacity, and behaviors like
making calls, sending messages, and taking photos.

Technical Example:
In Java, a class defines the blueprint for objects.

java

Copy code

class Smartphone {

String brand;

String model;

int storage;

void makeCall(String number) {

System.out.println("Calling " + number);

2. Why use OOP?

Definition:
OOP promotes code organization through modularity, reusability, and scalability, making it easier to
manage and maintain complex software systems.

Real-Life Example:
Building a car using interchangeable parts allows for easy assembly and maintenance. Similarly, OOP
allows developers to build applications using interchangeable and reusable components.

Technical Example:
By defining classes and creating objects, developers can reuse code across different parts of an
application, reducing redundancy.
3. What is a Class?

Definition:
A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines a set of attributes and methods that
the created objects will have.

Real-Life Example:
A blueprint of a house specifies the design, layout, and features, but it's not the actual house.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Car {

String color;

String model;

void drive() {

System.out.println("Driving the car");

4. What is an Object?

Definition:
An object is an instance of a class. It has a state and behavior as defined by its class.

Real-Life Example:
An actual house built from a blueprint is an object.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Car myCar = new Car();

myCar.color = "Red";

myCar.model = "Sedan";

myCar.drive();

}
}

5. What are the main features of OOP?

Definition:
The main features of OOP are:

 Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data within one unit.

 Inheritance: Mechanism where one class acquires properties of another.

 Polymorphism: Ability to take many forms; methods or objects can behave differently in
different contexts.

 Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only the necessary
features.

Real-Life Example:
A remote control encapsulates its internal circuitry (encapsulation), can be used with different
devices (polymorphism), inherits basic functionalities from a standard design (inheritance), and
exposes only the buttons to the user, hiding the complex electronics inside (abstraction).

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

// Encapsulation

class RemoteControl {

private boolean batteryStatus;

public void pressButton(String button) {

// Implementation

// Inheritance

class SmartRemote extends RemoteControl {

public void connectToWiFi() {

// Implementation

}
// Polymorphism

RemoteControl myRemote = new SmartRemote();

myRemote.pressButton("Power");

// Abstraction

abstract class Appliance {

abstract void turnOn();

abstract void turnOff();

6. What is Encapsulation?

Definition:
Encapsulation is the concept of wrapping data (variables) and methods (functions) that operate on
the data into a single unit, typically a class. It restricts direct access to some of the object's
components, which can prevent the accidental modification of data.

Real-Life Example:
A capsule in medicine encapsulates the drug inside, protecting it until it's consumed.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class BankAccount {

private double balance;

public void deposit(double amount) {

if (amount > 0) {

balance += amount;

public double getBalance() {

return balance;
 }

7. What is Inheritance?

Definition:
Inheritance is a mechanism where a new class, known as a subclass or child class, derives properties
and behavior from an existing class, known as a superclass or parent class.

Real-Life Example:
A child inherits traits from their parents, such as eye color or hair type.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Vehicle {

void start() {

System.out.println("Vehicle is starting");

class Car extends Vehicle {

void drive() {

System.out.println("Car is driving");

8. What is Polymorphism?

Definition:
Polymorphism allows methods or objects to take on multiple forms. In Java, it typically refers to the
ability of different classes to be treated as instances of the same class through inheritance.

Real-Life Example:
A person can be a teacher, parent, or artist depending on the context.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code
class Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Animal makes a sound");

class Dog extends Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Dog barks");

class Cat extends Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Cat meows");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal myDog = new Dog();

Animal myCat = new Cat();

myDog.makeSound(); // Outputs: Dog barks

myCat

technical examples in simple words.

9. What is Abstraction?

Definition:
Abstraction is the concept of hiding complex implementation details while exposing only the
necessary functionalities.

Real-Life Example:
When using an ATM, you interact with buttons to withdraw cash but don’t see the complex
mechanisms behind it.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

abstract class Vehicle {

abstract void start();

class Car extends Vehicle {

void start() {

System.out.println("Car starts with a key.");

class Bike extends Vehicle {

void start() {

System.out.println("Bike starts with a button.");

Here, start() is abstract in Vehicle but implemented differently in Car and Bike.

10. What is the difference between Abstraction and Encapsulation?

Feature Abstraction Encapsulation

Purpose Hides implementation details Hides data and restricts access

Feature Abstraction Encapsulation

Example ATM machine hiding internal processing Capsule covering the medicine

Java Example Abstract classes and interfaces Private variables with getters/setters

11. What is Method Overloading?

Definition:
Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters in the
same class.

Real-Life Example:
A printer can print documents, images, and PDFs using the same print button, but internally,
different actions are performed.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Printer {

void print(int pages) {

System.out.println("Printing " + pages + " pages.");

void print(String text) {

System.out.println("Printing text: " + text);

The method print() is overloaded.

12. What is Method Overriding?

Definition:
Method overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already
defined in its parent class.

Real-Life Example:
A child can have different behaviors from their parent while still being part of the family.

Technical Example:
java

Copy code

class Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Animal makes a sound");

class Dog extends Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Dog barks");

Here, makeSound() is overridden in Dog.

13. What is the difference between Overloading and Overriding?

Feature Method Overloading Method Overriding

Same method name, different Same method, same parameters, different

Definition
parameters class

Printing text vs. images with same

Example Dog barks differently from generic Animal
method

Java Example print(int), print(String) makeSound() in Animal vs. Dog

14. What is an Interface in Java?

Definition:
An interface is a collection of abstract methods that multiple classes can implement.

Real-Life Example:
A TV remote has buttons that work differently on different TVs but follow the same interface.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

interface Animal {
 void makeSound();

class Cat implements Animal {

public void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Meow");

15. What is the difference between an Interface and an Abstract Class?

Feature Interface Abstract Class

Methods Only abstract methods (until Java 8) Can have abstract and concrete methods

Inheritance Multiple inheritance Single inheritance

Example Remote control interface Generic Vehicle class

16. What is a Constructor in Java?

Definition:
A constructor initializes an object when it is created.

Real-Life Example:
When a newborn baby is born, they automatically get a name and birthdate.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Person {

String name;

Person(String newName) { // Constructor

name = newName;

17. What is the difference between ‘this’ and ‘super’?

Keyword Meaning

this Refers to the current class

super Refers to the parent class

Example:

java

Copy code

class Parent {

int num = 10;

class Child extends Parent {

int num = 20;

void show() {

System.out.println(this.num); // Refers to Child's num

System.out.println(super.num); // Refers to Parent's num

18. What is Static in Java?

Definition:
Static means a member belongs to the class, not to instances of the class.

Real-Life Example:
A school has a fixed name for all students.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class School {

static String schoolName = "ABC High School"; // Shared by all objects

int rollNumber;

}
19. What is the ‘final’ keyword in Java?

Feature Description

final variable Value cannot be changed

final method Cannot be overridden

final class Cannot be inherited

Example:

java

Copy code

final class A {} // Cannot extend this class

final int x = 10; // x cannot be changed

20. What is Composition in Java?

Definition:
Composition is when a class contains another class as an instance.

Real-Life Example:
A car has an engine; an engine cannot exist separately.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Engine {

void start() {

System.out.println("Engine is starting...");

class Car {

Engine engine = new Engine(); // Composition

21. What is Aggregation in Java?

Definition:
Aggregation is a "has-a" relationship where one class contains another but can exist independently.

Real-Life Example:
A library has books, but books can exist separately.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Book {

String title;

class Library {

List<Book> books; // Aggregation

22. What is an Association in Java?

Definition:
Association is a relationship between two objects.

Real-Life Example:
A teacher teaches students, but they can exist separately.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Teacher {

Student student;

23. What is Dependency in Java?

Definition:
Dependency is when a class relies on another class.

Real-Life Example:
A driver needs a car to drive.

Technical Example:
java

Copy code

class Driver {

void drive(Car car) {

car.start();

ChatGPT

Here are the answers to questions 24 to 30, along with their definitions, real-life examples, and
technical examples.

24. What is Object Cloning in Java?

Definition:
Object cloning is creating an exact copy of an object using the clone() method of the Cloneable
interface.

Real-Life Example:
Making a photocopy of a document creates an identical copy.

Technical Example:

java
Copy code

class Student implements Cloneable {

String name;

Student(String name) {

this.name = name;

protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {

return super.clone();

public static void main(String[] args) throws CloneNotSupportedException {

Student s1 = new Student("Alice");

Student s2 = (Student) s1.clone();

System.out.println(s2.name); // Output: Alice

This creates a copy of s1 into s2.

25. What is Garbage Collection in Java?

Definition:
Garbage collection is the automatic process of reclaiming unused memory occupied by unreferenced
objects.

Real-Life Example:
A robotic cleaner automatically cleans up waste in a room.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Demo {

protected void finalize() {

System.out.println("Object is garbage collected");

 }

public static void main(String[] args) {

Demo d = new Demo();

d = null; // Object is no longer referenced

System.gc(); // Suggest JVM to perform garbage collection

Here, the object d becomes eligible for garbage collection.

26. What is Multithreading in Java?

Definition:
Multithreading allows concurrent execution of two or more threads to improve performance.

Real-Life Example:
A restaurant where a chef, waiter, and cashier work simultaneously.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class MyThread extends Thread {

public void run() {

System.out.println("Thread is running");

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyThread t1 = new MyThread();

t1.start(); // Starts a new thread

This program creates a separate thread and executes run().

27. What is the difference between Shallow Copy and Deep Copy?
Feature Shallow Copy Deep Copy

Definition Copies references, not actual objects Copies actual objects

Changes in original Affects copied object Does not affect copied object

Example Copying a folder shortcut Copying a full folder

Technical Example:

 Shallow Copy:

java

Copy code

class Student {

String name;

Student(String name) {

this.name = name;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Student s1 = new Student("Alice");

Student s2 = s1; // Shallow Copy

s2.name = "Bob";

System.out.println(s1.name); // Output: Bob

Here, both s1 and s2 point to the same object, so changes in one affect the other.

 Deep Copy:

java

Copy code

class Student implements Cloneable {

String name;

Student(String name) {

this.name = name;
 }

protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {

return new Student(this.name); // Deep Copy

Each object has its own copy of data.

28. What is Reflection in Java?

Definition:
Reflection allows inspection and modification of a class at runtime, even without knowing its
structure beforehand.

Real-Life Example:
A mirror allows you to inspect yourself at any time.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

class Demo {

public void show() {

System.out.println("Hello Reflection");

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Class<?> obj = Class.forName("Demo");

Method method = obj.getMethod("show");

method.invoke(obj.getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance());

Here, the method show() is called dynamically using reflection.

29. What is the Singleton Pattern in Java?

Definition:
A singleton ensures only one instance of a class exists in memory.

Real-Life Example:
A government ID system ensures a person has only one unique ID.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Singleton {

private static Singleton instance;

private Singleton() {} // Private constructor prevents instantiation

public static Singleton getInstance() {

if (instance == null) {

instance = new Singleton();

return instance;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Singleton obj1 = Singleton.getInstance();

Singleton obj2 = Singleton.getInstance();

System.out.println(obj1 == obj2); // Output: true

Here, obj1 and obj2 refer to the same object.

30. What are Design Patterns in OOP?

Definition:
Design patterns are best practices or solutions for common software design problems.

Real-Life Example:
Using a recipe book to cook ensures consistent results.

Technical Example (Factory Pattern):

java

Copy code

abstract class Animal {

abstract void sound();

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("Bark");

class AnimalFactory {

public static Animal getAnimal(String type) {

if (type.equals("Dog")) return new Dog();

return null;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal myPet = AnimalFactory.getAnimal("Dog");

myPet.sound(); // Output: Bark

Here, the Factory Pattern creates objects without exposing the object creation logic.

Here are a few additional important concepts related to OOP in Java that might be useful for
interviews:

31. What is Polymorphism?

Definition:
Polymorphism allows a single interface to be used for different data types or behaviors.

Real-Life Example:
A person can be a student, employee, or player at different times.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Animal makes a sound");

}
class Dog extends Animal {

void makeSound() {

System.out.println("Dog barks");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal a = new Dog();

a.makeSound(); // Output: Dog barks

Here, makeSound() behaves differently based on the object type.

32. What is the Difference Between Static and Non-Static Methods?

Feature Static Method Non-Static Method

Belongs to Class Object

Called using Class name Object reference

Can access instance variables? ❌ No ✅ Yes

Example Math.sqrt() obj.display()

Example:

java

Copy code

class Demo {

static void staticMethod() {

System.out.println("Static method called");

void nonStaticMethod() {

System.out.println("Non-static method called");

 }

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Demo.staticMethod(); // No object needed

Demo obj = new Demo();

obj.nonStaticMethod(); // Requires object

33. What is an Inner Class in Java?

Definition:
An inner class is a class inside another class, useful for logically grouping classes.

Real-Life Example:
A house has rooms, but rooms cannot exist independently.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Outer {

class Inner {

void show() {

System.out.println("Inside Inner Class");

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Outer.Inner obj = new Outer().new Inner();

obj.show();

}
}

34. What is the Difference Between Interface and Abstract Class?

Feature Interface Abstract Class

Only abstract methods (until Java Can have both abstract & concrete
Methods
8) methods

Variables Only final and static Can have normal variables

Multiple Inheritance ✅ Yes ❌ No

Example Runnable Interface Animal Abstract Class

35. What is Covariant Return Type?

Definition:
In method overriding, the return type of the overridden method can be a subclass of the return type
in the parent class.

Real-Life Example:
A fruit tree returns different types of fruits (apple, mango, etc.), depending on the tree.

Technical Example:

java

Copy code

class Parent {

Parent get() {

return this;

class Child extends Parent {

@Override

Child get() { // Covariant return type (Parent -> Child)

return this;

}
36. What is the Difference Between Composition and Aggregation?

Feature Composition Aggregation

Relationship Strong (part-whole) Weak (association)

Existence Part cannot exist without whole Part can exist separately

Example Car has an Engine Library has Books

Example:

java

Copy code

class Engine {} // Composition Example

class Car {

Engine engine = new Engine(); // Strong Relationship

✅ Final Checklist: Everything You Must Know for a Java OOP Interview

You have covered almost everything you need, but here are a few extra important topics that can
strengthen your preparation:

🚀 Additional Must-Know Topics

1️⃣ SOLID Principles (Most Important for Interviews)

 S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have only one reason to change.

 O - Open/Closed Principle (OCP): Classes should be open for extension but closed for
modification.

 L - Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): A subclass should be replaceable without breaking the
parent class behavior.

 I - Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Don't force a class to implement unnecessary

methods.

 D - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High-level modules should not depend on low-
level modules.

Example of SRP (Bad vs. Good Code)

java

Copy code

// ❌ BAD: One class doing too much

class ReportGenerator {

void generatePDF() {}

void saveToDatabase() {} // Violates SRP

// ✅ GOOD: Separate responsibilities

class PDFGenerator {

void generatePDF() {}

class DatabaseSaver {

void saveToDatabase() {}

2️⃣ Design Patterns (Basic Understanding)

🔹 Creational Patterns: Singleton, Factory, Builder

🔹 Structural Patterns: Adapter, Decorator, Proxy
🔹 Behavioral Patterns: Observer, Strategy, Command

3️⃣ Commonly Asked Java Topics

✅ Memory Management in Java

✅ Garbage Collection & Finalization
✅ Threading & Multithreading Basics
✅ Difference Between ArrayList & LinkedList
✅ Java 8 Features (Streams, Lambda Expressions, Functional Interfaces, Default Methods in
Interfaces)

4️⃣ Common Java OOP Interview Questions

✔ What is the difference between == and .equals()?

✔ What is the difference between String, StringBuilder, and StringBuffer?
✔ What are access modifiers (public, private, protected, default)?
✔ What are Wrapper Classes in Java?
✔ What is an Object Class in Java?

⏳ Ideal Time to Prepare

 If you are a beginner: ⏳ 4-6 days (with practice)

 If you have prior Java experience: ⏳ 2-3 days

 If you need just a quick revision: ⏳ 1-2 days

💡 Pro Tip: Focus on hands-on coding while learning these concepts. Mock interviews & practice
questions will boost your confidence!
🔥 Final Action Plan

📌 Step 1: Revise all OOP topics & types (✅ Done)

📌 Step 2: Solve at least 20 Java OOP interview questions
📌 Step 3: Code and test real examples for each concept
📌 Step 4: Do one mock interview before your actual interview

Java Oop Interview

Java OOP Interview Preparation Guide

1️⃣ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Basics

Definition:

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects,"

which can contain data (fields) and code (methods).

Key Principles:

 Encapsulation: Data hiding using private variables and public methods.

 Abstraction: Hiding implementation details, exposing only necessary functionalities.

 Inheritance: Acquiring properties and behavior from a parent class.

 Polymorphism: The ability of different objects to respond uniquely to the same method.

2️⃣ Types of Classes in Java

1. Concrete Class (Regular class, can be instantiated)

✅ Example:

class Car {

void drive() {

System.out.println("Car is moving...");

}
2. Abstract Class (Cannot be instantiated, must be extended)

✅ Example:

abstract class Animal {

abstract void sound();

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() {

System.out.println("Bark");

3. Final Class (Cannot be inherited)

✅ Example:

final class MathUtils {}

4. Static Nested Class

✅ Example:

class Outer {

static class Inner {

void display() {

System.out.println("Static Inner Class");

5. Inner Class (Non-Static)

✅ Example:

class Outer {

class Inner {

void display() {

System.out.println("Non-Static Inner Class");

}
6. Anonymous Class

✅ Example:

abstract class Animal {

abstract void sound();

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Animal myPet = new Animal() {

void sound() {

System.out.println("Meow");

};

myPet.sound();

7. Singleton Class

✅ Example:

class Singleton {

private static Singleton instance;

private Singleton() {}

public static Singleton getInstance() {

if (instance == null) instance = new Singleton();

return instance;

3️⃣ Types of Objects in Java

1. Mutable Object (Values can change)

✅ Example:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Hello");

sb.append(" World");
System.out.println(sb); // Output: Hello World

2. Immutable Object (Values cannot change)

✅ Example:

String str = "Hello";

str = str + " World";

System.out.println(str); // Output: Hello World

3. Deep Copy Object (Creates a separate copy of data)

✅ Example:

class Student implements Cloneable {

String name;

Student(String name) {

this.name = name;

protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {

return new Student(this.name);

4. Shallow Copy Object (Copies reference, not actual object)

✅ Example:

class Student {

String name;

Student(String name) {

this.name = name;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Student s1 = new Student("Alice");

Student s2 = s1; // Shallow Copy

s2.name = "Bob";

System.out.println(s1.name); // Output: Bob

}

4️⃣ Types of Inheritance

1. Single Inheritance

✅ Example:

class Animal {

void eat() {

System.out.println("Eating...");

class Dog extends Animal {}

2. Multilevel Inheritance

✅ Example:

class A {

void methodA() { System.out.println("A"); }

class B extends A {

void methodB() { System.out.println("B"); }

class C extends B {

void methodC() { System.out.println("C"); }

3. Hierarchical Inheritance

✅ Example:

class Animal {

void sound() { System.out.println("Animal Sound"); }

class Dog extends Animal {

void bark() { System.out.println("Bark"); }

}
class Cat extends Animal {

void meow() { System.out.println("Meow"); }

5️⃣ Types of Polymorphism

1. Compile-Time (Method Overloading)

✅ Example:

class MathUtils {

int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

double add(double a, double b) { return a + b; }

2. Run-Time (Method Overriding)

✅ Example:

class Parent {

void show() { System.out.println("Parent"); }

class Child extends Parent {

void show() { System.out.println("Child"); }
