1. What is JVM, JDK, and JRE?

- JVM (Java Virtual Machine): It runs Java bytecode and makes Java platform-independent.

- JDK (Java Development Kit): A package that includes JRE + tools for Java development (compiler,

debugger, etc.).

- JRE (Java Runtime Environment): It provides environment to run Java programs. Includes JVM +

libraries.

2. Differentiate between HAS-A and IS-A relationship?

- IS-A: Represents inheritance. A child class IS-A parent class (e.g., Dog IS-A Animal).

- HAS-A: Represents composition. A class contains another class (e.g., Car HAS-A Engine).

3. How to avoid Diamond Problem in Java?

- Java uses interfaces to avoid diamond problem. Since Java doesn't support multiple inheritance

with classes, interfaces are used and ambiguity is resolved using default methods.

4. What is polymorphism?

- Polymorphism means one thing behaves in different ways. In Java, it can be compile-time (method

overloading) or run-time (method overriding).

5. What is method binding?

- Its the process of connecting a method call to its code.

- Static binding: Done at compile time (e.g., method overloading).

- Dynamic binding: Done at runtime (e.g., method overriding).

6. What is compile-time polymorphism?

- Also called method overloading. Same method name with different parameters.
7. What is run-time polymorphism?

- Also called method overriding. Method in subclass overrides parent class method at runtime.

8. What is method overloading?

- Same method name with different parameters in the same class.

9. What is method overriding?

- Redefining a method of the parent class in the child class.

10. Rules for method overloading:

- Methods must differ in number or type of parameters.

11. Rules for method overriding:

- Same method name, return type, and parameters.

- Child class access level must not be more restrictive.

- Only inherited methods can be overridden.

12. Difference between overloading and overriding:

- Overloading: Same class, different parameters, compile-time.

- Overriding: Subclass, same method signature, run-time.

13. What is an abstract class?

- A class that can't be instantiated and may contain abstract methods.

14. What is an abstract method?

- A method without a body that must be implemented by subclasses.


15. When should a class be abstract?

- When we want to define a common structure and enforce some methods to be implemented in

child classes.
