Popular Topics to Consider for a Java Interview

There are a few topic areas to focus on when preparing for a Java interview and you should
brush up on the following areas:
Concepts from core Java:

 OOPS concepts (Data Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism)


 Basic Java constructs like loops and data types
 String handling
 Collection framework
 Multithreading
 Exception handling
 Generics
 Synchronisation
 Serialisation & De-serialisation
 Concurrent collection

Advanced Java:

 JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)


 Servlet
 JSP

Popular Frameworks:

 Spring (MVC, Core, JDBC, ORM, AOP)


 Hibernate ORM framework
 Struts
 JSF
 Web Services (SOAP & REST)

Other:

 Design patterns and design questions related to your projects.

With Java being around as long as it has, there are some reliable and credible books
available to help prepare for Java interviews. A recommended book is Java Programming
Interview Exposed by Noel Markham.
As a Java developer, it is worth reading this book to take you through some of the most
important topics for Java interview, even if you aren’t specifically interviewing.
Java Certified Associate Certification Important Topics:
Java Basics
 Create executable Java applications with a main method; run a Java program from
the command line; including console output.
 Compare and contrast the features and components of Java such as: platform
independence, object orientation, encapsulation, etc.
 Define the scope of variables
 Import other Java packages to make them accessible in your code
 Define the structure of a Java class

Working With Java Data Types


 Differentiate between object reference variables and primitive variables
 Know how to read or write to object fields
 Declare and initialize variables (including casting of primitive data types)
 Explain an Object's Lifecycle (creation, dereference by reassignment and garbage
collection)
 Develop code that uses wrapper classes such as Boolean, Double, and Integer.

Using Operators and Decision Constructs


 Test equality between Strings and other objects using == and equals ()
 Create if and if/else and ternary constructs
 Use a switch statement
 Use Java operators; including parentheses to override operator precedence

Creating and Using Arrays


 Declare, instantiate, initialize and use multi-dimensional array
 Declare, instantiate, initialize and use a one-dimensional array

Using Loop Construct


 Compare loop constructs
 Use break and continue
 Create and use for loops including the enhanced for loop
 Create and use do/while loops
 Create and use while loops

Working with Methods and Encapsulation


 Create and overload constructors; including impact on default constructors
 Determine the effect upon object references and primitive values when they are
passed into methods that change the values
 Create methods with arguments and return values; including overloaded methods
 Apply the static keyword to methods and fields
 Apply encapsulation principles to a class
 Apply access modifiers

Working with Inheritance


 Describe inheritance and its benefits
 Use super and this to access objects and constructors
 Determine when casting is necessary
 Develop code that demonstrates the use of polymorphism; including overriding and
object type versus reference type
 Use abstract classes and interfaces

Handling Exceptions
 Create a try-catch block and determine how exceptions alter normal program flow
 Recognize common exception classes (such as NullPointerException,
ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, ClassCastException)
 Describe the advantages of Exception handling
 Create and invoke a method that throws an exception
 Differentiate among checked exceptions, unchecked exceptions, and Errors

Working with Selected classes from the Java API


 Create and manipulate calendar data using classes from java.time.LocalDateTime,
java.time.LocalDate, java.time.LocalTime, java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter,
java.time.Period
 Manipulate data using the StringBuilder class and its methods
 Creating and manipulating Strings
 Declare and use an ArrayList of a given type
 Write a simple Lambda expression that consumes a Lambda Predicate expression
