Difference Between Stringbuffer and Stringbuilder: 4. What Is An Abstract Class?

An abstract class must be extended and cannot be instantiated directly. It serves as a template for subclasses by defining methods that subclasses must implement. Any class with an abstract method must also be declared abstract. The main difference between StringBuffer and StringBuilder is that StringBuffer is synchronized while StringBuilder is not. StringBuilder was introduced in Java 5 and is generally preferred over StringBuffer for performance reasons unless multithreading is involved. An interface can only contain constants and abstract method declarations while an abstract class can contain implemented methods in addition to abstract methods. Interfaces have all public members by default while abstract classes can have other access levels like protected.

4. What is an abstract class?

Abstract class must be extended/subclassed (to be useful). It serves as a template. A class that is
abstract may not be instantiated (ie. you may not call its constructor), abstract class may contain static
data.
Any class with an abstract method is automatically abstract itself, and must be declared as such. A class
may be declared abstract even if it has no abstract methods. This prevents it from being instantiated.
4. What is difference between StringBuffer and StringBuilder in Java ?

Classic Java questions which some people thing tricky and some consider very easy. StringBuilder in
Java is introduced in Java 5 and only difference between both of them is that Stringbuffer methods
are synchronized while StringBuilder is non synchronized. See StringBuilder vs StringBuffer for more
differences.

What is the difference between an Interface and an Abstract class?


An abstract class can have instance methods that implement a default behavior. An Interface can only
declare constants and instance methods, but cannot implement default behavior and all methods are
implicitly abstract.
An interface has all public members and no implementation. An abstract class is a class which may have
the usual flavors of class members (private, protected, etc.), but has some abstract methods.
19. Can you override private or static method in Java ?
Another popular Java tricky question, As I said method overriding is a good topic to ask trick questions in
Java. Anyway, you can not override private or static method in Java, if you create similar method with
same return type and same method arguments that's called method hiding.
20. What will happen if you call return statement or System.exit on try or catch block ? will finally
block execute?
This is a very popular tricky Java question and its tricky because many programmer think that finally
block always executed. This question challenge that concept by putting return statement in try or catch
block or calling System.exit from try or catch block. Answer of this tricky question in Java is
that finally block will execute even if you put return statement in try block or catch block but finally block
won't run if you call System.exit form try or catch.
25. Can you access non static variable in static context?
Another tricky Java question from Java fundamentals. No you can not access static variable in non static
context in Java. Read why you can not access non-static variable from static method to learn more about
this tricky Java questions.
