Java Interview VSDark Themed Sample

The document provides an overview of Java concepts such as HashMap and encapsulation. It explains how HashMap uses a hash table to store key-value pairs and describes encapsulation as a method to hide internal details of an object while exposing necessary parts through public methods. Real-life examples, such as a school locker system and an ATM, are used to illustrate these concepts.

Java Interview Preparation

1. How does HashMap work internally?

Answer:
HashMap in Java stores key-value pairs using a hash table. It calculates the hash of the key and places the value in the
corresponding bucket index. If two keys have the same hash, a linked list or tree (Java 8+) is used.
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("key1", "value1");
map.put("key2", "value2");
System.out.println(map.get("key1"));

Real-life Example:
Like a school locker system: Each student has a locker (bucket) based on an ID (hash).

2. Encapsulation with real time explanation

Answer:
Encapsulation hides internal object details and exposes only necessary parts via public methods. Variables are kept
private and accessed via getters/setters.
public class Employee {
private String name;

public String getName() {


return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {


this.name = name;
}
}

Real-life Example:
ATM: Users only see interface (screen/buttons), not the internal wiring or logic.
