Core Java:

1. What is JVM JRE ,JDK

2. Why java is platform independent.
3. OOPS concepts , Which object oriented concept is most important in
java
1-Encapsulation: binding data member and member function in
single unit(object) called encapsulation.
2-Abstraction: hiding internal information example: using abstract
methods
Abstract method: method without body is called abstract method
Abstract Class: a class which is having at least one abstract method
Interface: All method of interface will be abstract
Abstract class provides partial abstraction
Interface provides full abstraction
3-Polymorphism: it's a Greek word , Poly=many morphism : form, In
java it is applying same operation with different kind of data with
the help of method overloading and method overriding
Method overloading: compile time polymorphism
Method overriding: run time polymorpshim
Method overloading: same method signature but different parameter
Method overriding : overriding same method in child class
4-Inheritance : Inheritance in Java is a mechanism in which one
object acquires all the properties and behaviors of a parent object. It
is an important part of OOPs (Object Oriented programming system)

9. Why Strings are immutable and how to make your own immutable
class. Example of existing immutable class in java.:
The String is immutable in Java because of the security,
synchronization and concurrency, caching, and class loading. The
reason of making string final is to destroy the immutability and to not
allow others to extend it.
10.Reverse String with your own method
11.What is String pool and what is purpose of it?
12. How can we register a String in String pool? StringObject.intern()
