Java Prep Sample

The document provides a brief overview of HashMap and encapsulation in Java. It explains that HashMap uses hashCode() for storing key-value pairs and handles collisions with linked lists or balanced trees. Additionally, it illustrates encapsulation with a BankAccount class example, highlighting the use of private fields and public methods for access.

JAVA PREPARATION - SAMPLE

Q1. How does HashMap work internally?


Answer: HashMap stores key-value pairs in buckets decided by hashCode(). Collisions are
handled by linked list (Java 7) or balanced tree (Java 8+).
Real-time Example: Like a dictionary: word (key) -> meaning (value).
import java.util.*;

public class HashMapDemo {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Map map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("Apple", 1);
map.put("Banana", 2);
System.out.println(map.get("Apple"));
}
}

Q2. Encapsulation with real-time explanation


Answer: Encapsulation hides internal fields using private and exposes access via getters/setters.
Real-time Example: ATM: you deposit/withdraw but can’t access bank core system directly.
class BankAccount {
private double balance;

public double getBalance() { return balance; }


public void deposit(double amt) { balance += amt; }
}
