TEST PAPER- 5 (Technical Interview Questions)
26

1. What if the main method is declared as private?

The program compiles properly but at runtime it will give "Main method not
public." Message.
2. What is meant by pass by reference and pass by value in Java?
Pass by reference means, passing the address itself rather than passing the
value. Pass by value means passing a copy of the value.
3. What gives java its write once and run anywhere nature?
All Java programs are compiled into class files that contain bytecodes. These
byte codes can be run in any platform and hence java is said to be platform
independent.
4. What is final, finalize () and finally?
final - declare constant
finally - handles exception
finalize - helps in garbage collection
5. What is the Java API?
The Java API is a large collection of ready-made software components that
provide many useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface (GUI)
widgets.
6. Why there are no global variables in Java?
Global variables are globally accessible. Java does not support globally
accessible variables due to following reasons:
* The global variables break the referential transparency
* Global variables create collisions in namespace.
7. What are Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism
Polymorphism in simple terms means one name many forms. Polymorphism
enables one entity to be used as a general category for different types of
actions. The specific action is determined by the exact nature of the situation.
Polymorphism exists in three distinct forms in Java:
Method overloading
Method overriding through inheritance
Method overriding through the Java interface
27

8. What are different types of access modifiers?

Access specifiers are keywords that determine the type of access to the
member of a class. These keywords are for allowing privileges to parts of a
program such as functions and variables. These are:
Public: accessible to all classes
Protected: accessible to the classes within the same package and any
subclasses.
Private: accessible only to the class to which they belong
Default: accessible to the class to which they belong and to subclasses within
the same package
9. What is the difference between declaring a variable and defining a
variable?
In declaration we only mention the type of the variable and its name without
initializing it. Defining means declaration + initialization. E.g. String s; is just
a declaration while String s = new String ("bob"); Or String s = "bob"; are
both definitions.
10. What gives java its write once and run anywhere nature?
All Java programs are compiled into class files that contain bytecodes. This
byte codes can be run in any platform and hence java is said to be platform
independent.
11. Expain the reason for each keyword of public static void main (String
args[])?
public- main (..) is the first method called by java environment when a
program is executed so it has to accessible from java environment. Hence the
access specifier has to be public.
static: Java environment should be able to call this method without creating
an instance of the class , so this method must be declared as static.
Void: main does not return anything so the return type must be void
The argument String indicates the argument type which is given at the
command line and arg is an array for string given during command line.
12. What is the difference between a while statement and a do statement?
A while statement (pre test) checks at the beginning of a loop to see whether
the next loop iteration should occur. A do while statement (post test) checks at
the end of a loop to see whether the next iteration of a loop should occur. The
do statement will always execute the loop body at least once.
13. Explain the Inheritance principle.
28

Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the properties of

another object. Inheritance allows well-tested procedures to be reused and
enables changes to make once and have effect in all relevant places.
14. What is implicit casting?
Implicit casting is the process of simply assigning one entity to another
without any transformation guidance to the compiler. This type of casting is
not permitted in all kinds of transformations and may not work for all
scenarios.
15. Name primitive Java types
The 8 primitive types are byte, char, short, int, long, float, double and
Boolean.
16. What is the difference between the boolean & operator and the &&
operator?
If an expression involving the Boolean & operator is evaluated, both operands
are evaluated, whereas the && operator is a short cut operator. When an
expression involving the && operator is evaluated, the first operand is
evaluated. If the first operand returns a value of true then the second operand
is evaluated. If the first operand evaluates to false, the evaluation of the second
operand is skipped.
17. How does Java handle integer overflows and underflows?
It uses those low order bytes of the result that can fit into the size of the type
allowed by the operation.
18. What type of parameter passing does Java support?
In Java the arguments (primitives and objects) are always passed by value.
With objects, the object reference itself is passed by value and so both the
original reference and parameter copy both refer to the same object.

Test Paper-7 ((Data Structures)
34

1. What is data structure?

A data structure is a way of organizing data that considers not only the items stored,
but also their relationship to each other. Advance knowledge about the relationship
between data items allows designing of efficient algorithms for the manipulation of
data.
2. List out the areas in which data structures are applied extensively?
1. Compiler Design,
2. Operating System,
3. Database Management System,
4. Statistical analysis package,
5. Numerical Analysis,
6. Graphics,
7. Artificial Intelligence,
8. Simulation
3. What are the major data structures used in the following areas : RDBMS,
Network data model and Hierarchical data model.
1. RDBMS = Array (i.e. Array of structures)
2. Network data model = Graph
3. Hierarchical data model = Trees
4. If you are using C language to implement the heterogeneous linked list, what
pointer type will you use?
The heterogeneous linked list contains different data types in its nodes and we need a
link, pointer to connect them. It is not possible to use ordinary pointers for this. So we
go for void pointer. Void pointer is capable of storing pointer to any type as it is a
generic pointer type.
5. Minimum number of queues needed to implement the priority queue?
Two. One queue is used for actual storing of data and another for storing priorities.
6. What is the data structures used to perform recursion?
35

Stack. Because of its LIFO (Last In First Out) property it remembers its 'caller' so
knows whom to return when the function has to return. Recursion makes use of
system stack for storing the return addresses of the function calls.
Every recursive function has its equivalent iterative (non-recursive) function. Even
when such equivalent iterative procedures are written, explicit stack is to be used.
7. What are the notations used in Evaluation of Arithmetic Expressions using
prefix and postfix forms?
Polish and Reverse Polish notations.
8. Convert the expression ((A + B) * C - (D - E) ^ (F + G)) to equivalent Prefix
and Postfix notations.
1. Prefix Notation: - * +ABC ^ - DE + FG
2. Postfix Notation: AB + C * DE - FG + ^ 9. Sorting is not possible by using which of the following methods? (Insertion,
Selection, Exchange, Deletion)
Sorting is not possible in Deletion. Using insertion we can perform insertion sort,
using selection we can perform selection sort, using exchange we can perform the
bubble sort (and other similar sorting methods). But no sorting method can be done
just using deletion.
10. What are the methods available in storing sequential files?
1. Straight merging,
2. Natural merging,
3. Polyphase sort,
4. Distribution of Initial runs.
11. List out few of the Application of tree data-structure?
1. The manipulation of Arithmetic expression,
2. Symbol Table construction,
3. Syntax analysis.
12. List out few of the applications that make use of Multilinked Structures?
1. Sparse matrix,
2. Index generation.
36

13. In tree construction which is the suitable efficient data structure? (Array,
Linked list, Stack, Queue)
Linked list is the suitable efficient data structure.
14. What is the type of the algorithm used in solving the 8 Queens problem?
Backtracking.
15. In an AVL tree, at what condition the balancing is to be done?
If the 'pivotal value' (or the 'Height factor') is greater than 1 or less than -1.
16. What is the bucket size, when the overlapping and collision occur at same
time?
One. If there is only one entry possible in the bucket, when the collision occurs, there
is no way to accommodate the colliding value. This results in the overlapping of
values.
17. Classify the Hashing Functions based on the various methods by which the
key value is found.
1. Direct method,
2. Subtraction method,
3. Modulo-Division method,
4. Digit-Extraction method,
5. Mid-Square method,
6. Folding method,
7. Pseudo-random method.
18. What are the types of Collision Resolution Techniques and the methods used
in each of the type?
1. Open addressing (closed hashing), The methods used include: Overflow
block.
2. Closed addressing (open hashing), The methods used include: Linked list,
Binary tree.
19. In RDBMS, what is the efficient data structure used in the internal storage
representation?
37

B+ tree. Because in B+ tree, all the data is stored only in leaf nodes, that makes
searching easier. This corresponds to the records that shall be stored in leaf nodes.
20. What is a spanning Tree?
A spanning tree is a tree associated with a network. All the nodes of the graph appear
on the tree once. A minimum spanning tree is a spanning tree organized so that the
total edge weight between nodes is minimized.

TEST PAPER- 12 (NETWORKING)
1. Define Network?

62

A network is a set of devices connected by physical media links. A network is

recursively is a connection of two or more nodes by a physical link or two or more
networks connected by one or more nodes.
2. What is a Link?
At the lowest level, a network can consist of two or more computers directly
connected by some physical medium such as coaxial cable or optical fiber. Such a
physical medium is called as Link.
3. What is a node?
A network can consist of two or more computers directly connected by some physical
medium such as coaxial cable or optical fiber. Such a physical medium is called as
Links and the computer it connects is called as Nodes.
4. What is a gateway or Router?
A node that is connected to two or more networks is commonly called as router or
Gateway. It generally forwards message from one network to another.
5. What is point-point link?
If the physical links are limited to a pair of nodes it is said to be point-point link.
6. What is Multiple Access?
If the physical links are shared by more than two nodes, it is said to be Multiple
Access.
7. What are the advantages of Distributed Processing?
a. Security/Encapsulation
b. Distributed database
c. Faster Problem solving
d. Security through redundancy
e. Collaborative Processing
8. What are the criteria necessary for an effective and efficient network?
a. Performance
It can be measured in many ways, including transmit time and response time.
b. Reliability
It is measured by frequency of failure, the time it takes a link to recover from a
63

failure, and the network's robustness.

c. Security
Security issues include protecting data from unauthorized access and viruses.
9. Name the factors that affect the performance of the network?
a. Number of Users
b. Type of transmission medium
c. Hardware
d. Software
10. Name the factors that affect the reliability of the network?
a. Frequency of failure
b. Recovery time of a network after a failure
11. Name the factors that affect the security of the network?
a. Unauthorized Access
b. Viruses
12. What is Protocol?
A protocol is a set of rules that govern all aspects of information communication.
13. What are the key elements of protocols?
The key elements of protocols are
a. Syntax
It refers to the structure or format of the data, that is the order in which they are
presented.
b. Semantics
It refers to the meaning of each section of bits.
c. Timing
Timing refers to two characteristics: When data should be sent and how fast they
can be sent.
14. What are the key design issues of a computer Network?
a. Connectivity
b. Cost-effective Resource Sharing
c. Support for common Services
d. Performance
15. Define Bandwidth and Latency?
64

Network performance is measured in Bandwidth (throughput) and Latency (Delay).

Bandwidth of a network is given by the number of bits that can be transmitted over
the network in a certain period of time. Latency corresponds to how long it t5akes a
message to travel from one end off a network to the other. It is strictly measured in
terms of time.
16. Define Routing?
The process of determining systematically hoe to forward messages toward the
destination nodes based on its address is called routing.
17. What is a peer-peer process?
The processes on each machine that communicate at a given layer are called peer-peer
process.
18. When a switch is said to be congested?
It is possible that a switch receives packets faster than the shared link can
accommodate and stores in its memory, for an extended period of time, then the
switch will eventually run out of buffer space, and some packets will have to be
dropped and in this state is said to congested state.
19. What is semantic gap?
Defining a useful channel involves both understanding the applications requirements
and recognizing the limitations of the underlying technology. The gap between what
applications expects and what the underlying technology can provide is called
semantic gap.
20. What is Round Trip Time?
The duration of time it takes to send a message from one end of a network to the other
and back, is called RTT.
