Important IPU 4th Sem Java Questions with Answers

Q: Differentiate between byte streams and character streams.

A: Byte streams (`InputStream`/`OutputStream`) handle raw binary data.

Character streams (`Reader`/`Writer`) handle characters using encoding like UTF-8.

Q: Explain the use of BufferedReader and BufferedWriter with examples.

A: `BufferedReader` and `BufferedWriter` provide efficient reading/writing using internal buffers.

Example: `BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));`

Q: What is object serialization in Java? How is it implemented?

A: Serialization is converting an object to a byte stream. Implement by `implements Serializable` and

use `ObjectOutputStream`/`ObjectInputStream`.

Q: Write a program to copy contents from one file to another using streams.

A: Use FileInputStream and FileOutputStream to read and write bytes in a loop.

Q: Discuss the role of RandomAccessFile in Java I/O.

A: `RandomAccessFile` allows non-sequential read/write by seeking positions in a file.

Q: Outline the steps to connect a Java application to a database using JDBC.

A: 1. Load driver

2. Create connection

3. Create statement

4. Execute query

5. Process result

6. Close connection.

Q: Differentiate between Statement and PreparedStatement.

A: `Statement` is used for static queries. `PreparedStatement` is used for dynamic queries and

provides better performance and security.


Q: Write a JDBC program to insert a record into a database table.

A: Use `PreparedStatement` with `executeUpdate()` to insert values safely into DB.

Q: Explain the process of handling SQL exceptions in JDBC.

A: Use try-catch block and `SQLException.getMessage()` or `printStackTrace()`.

Q: What are the advantages of using JDBC over ODBC?

A: JDBC is platform-independent, pure Java, and works better with Java apps. ODBC is native and

platform-dependent.

Q: Differentiate between TCP and UDP protocols.

A: TCP is reliable and connection-oriented. UDP is faster but connectionless and unreliable.

Q: Write a simple client-server program using sockets in Java.

A: Use `ServerSocket` on server side and `Socket` on client side. Use streams for communication.

Q: Explain the role of ServerSocket and Socket classes.

A: `ServerSocket` waits for client connections. `Socket` represents the client-server connection.

Q: Discuss how data is transmitted over a network using Java sockets.

A: Through InputStream and OutputStream attached to a Socket.

Q: What are the differences between extending the Thread class and implementing the

Runnable interface?

A: `Runnable` allows multiple inheritance. `Thread` class gives more control. Both can be used to

create threads.

Q: Explain thread synchronization and its importance.

A: Synchronization ensures only one thread accesses a critical section at a time to prevent data

inconsistency.

Q: Write a program demonstrating inter-thread communication.

A: Use `wait()`, `notify()`, and `synchronized` block to let threads communicate.

Q: Discuss the lifecycle of a thread in Java.


A: States: New -> Runnable -> Running -> Blocked/Waiting -> Terminated.

Q: Explain the architecture of Java RMI.

A: RMI uses stub, skeleton, registry, and remote interfaces for object-based communication over

network.

Q: List and describe the steps to create a simple RMI application.

A: 1. Define remote interface

2. Implement interface

3. Register remote object

4. Client looks up and invokes method.

Q: Differentiate between Remote and Serializable interfaces.

A: `Remote` allows an object to be accessed remotely. `Serializable` allows it to be sent over

network as a byte stream.

Q: What are the security considerations in RMI?

A: Set a proper `SecurityManager`, use policy files, and validate remote object inputs.

Q: What is JNI and why is it used?

A: JNI allows Java to call native code (e.g., C/C++). Used for performance and system-level

operations.

Q: Describe the steps to integrate native C code with Java using JNI.

A: 1. Declare native method

2. Generate header

3. Implement in C

4. Compile and load library.

Q: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using JNI.

A: Pros: Speed, native access. Cons: Platform dependency, complexity, harder debugging.

Q: Differentiate between ArrayList and LinkedList.


A: `ArrayList` is faster for indexing. `LinkedList` is better for frequent insertions/deletions.

Q: Explain the characteristics of HashMap and Hashtable.

A: `HashMap` is non-synchronized and faster. `Hashtable` is synchronized and thread-safe.

Q: Write a program to demonstrate the use of Iterator and ListIterator.

A: Create a List and use `Iterator` for forward-only and `ListIterator` for bi-directional traversal.

Q: What is the difference between Set and List interfaces?

A: `Set` does not allow duplicates. `List` allows duplicates and maintains insertion order.

Q: Discuss the thread-safety of various collection classes.

A: `Vector`, `Hashtable` are thread-safe. `ArrayList`, `HashMap` are not. Use

`Collections.synchronizedList()` if needed.
