Full Stack Developer Interview Questions & Answers

Core Java

Q: What are the basic OOP principles?

A: The four OOP principles are:

- Encapsulation: Wrapping data and methods into a single unit.

- Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only functionality.

- Inheritance: Acquiring properties of a parent class.

- Polymorphism: Ability to take many forms, typically method overloading and overriding.

Q: Difference between `==` and `.equals()`?

A: `==` checks for reference equality (memory location). `.equals()` checks for value/content equality. For

example, two different String objects with the same characters return `true` for `.equals()` but `false` for `==`.

Spring Boot

Q: What is Spring Boot?

A: Spring Boot is a framework built on top of Spring that simplifies application development by providing

auto-configuration, embedded servers, and starter dependencies.

Q: What is the use of `@RestController`?

A: `@RestController` is a combination of `@Controller` and `@ResponseBody`. It is used to build REST APIs

where return values are directly written to the HTTP response as JSON/XML.

React JS

Q: What is Virtual DOM?

A: Virtual DOM is a lightweight in-memory representation of the actual DOM. React uses it to detect changes

and update the real DOM efficiently via a diffing algorithm.

Q: What are Hooks in React?

A: Hooks are functions that let you use state and other React features without writing a class. Common

hooks: `useState`, `useEffect`, `useContext`, `useRef`, etc.


Full Stack Developer Interview Questions & Answers

SQL & JPA

Q: What is an INNER JOIN?

A: An INNER JOIN returns records that have matching values in both tables involved in the join.

Q: What is the N+1 problem in JPA?

A: It occurs when fetching a list of entities, and for each entity, another query is executed to fetch its related

data. This results in N+1 queries. Solution: Use `@EntityGraph` or `JOIN FETCH`.

REST API

Q: What is REST?

A: REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style that uses standard HTTP methods to

perform CRUD operations over web services.

Q: Difference between PUT and POST?

A: `PUT` is idempotent and used to update/create a resource at a known URI. `POST` is non-idempotent and

used to create a resource under a collection.
