Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
Let me start by clarifying that I have almost 6 years of development experience. At this juncture I was not expecting basic core java questions. I could not have been more wrong! The first question they asked was "What makes Java Object Oriented". They really grill you on each and every concept. Few questions that I remember:
1. Difference between Iterator and for loop
2. Order of execution of static class level blocks, class level block and constructor.
3. Which is better interface or 100% Abstract Class and why?
4. Return statement in try, catch and finally. Which one executes when an exception occurs and what happens to the exception?
5. Something about Abstract class constructor.
6. Something about Cloneable Interface.
The interviewer was nice, she dropped a few hints if I was not sure but she also tried to confuse! So beware ! Overall a pleasant experience
