Basic Java Questions and Answers

Q1: What is Java?

A1: Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to

have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

Q2: What is JVM?

A2: JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine, which is an abstract machine that enables your computer

to run a Java program. When you run a Java program, JVM is responsible for converting bytecode

into machine-specific code.

Q3: What is JRE?

A3: JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. It is a set of software tools used for developing Java

applications. It includes the JVM, core libraries, and other components to run applications written in

Java.

Q4: What is JDK?

A4: JDK stands for Java Development Kit. It is a full-featured software development kit for Java,

including JRE, an interpreter/loader (Java), a compiler (javac), an archiver (jar), a documentation

generator (Javadoc), and other tools needed for Java development.

Q5: What is a class in Java?

A5: A class in Java is a blueprint from which individual objects are created. It can contain fields,

methods, constructors, and blocks.

Q6: What is an object in Java?

A6: An object is a real-world entity that has state and behavior. In Java, an object is an instance of a

class.

Q7: What are the main features of Java?


A7: The main features of Java include Object-Oriented, Platform Independent, Simple, Secure,

Architecture-neutral, Portable, Robust, Multithreaded, High Performance, Distributed, and Dynamic.

Q8: What is inheritance in Java?

A8: Inheritance is a mechanism wherein a new class is derived from an existing class. The derived

class (child class) inherits the properties and behavior of the existing class (parent class).

Q9: What is polymorphism in Java?

A9: Polymorphism in Java is the ability of a method to do different things based on the object it is

acting upon. It can be achieved by method overloading and method overriding.

Q10: What is encapsulation in Java?

A10: Encapsulation is a principle of wrapping the data (variables) and the code acting on the data

(methods) together as a single unit. It helps to protect the data from outside interference and

misuse.
