Top Java Interview Questions

The smart way to crack tough tech questions in Java interviews isn’t to practice hundreds of questions, but to identify common patterns amongst the questions. This way, you can solve even those questions you have never seen before. This is what we teach in our programs. 

However, just to give you a good idea of what kind of questions to expect, we have listed down some of the common questions asked at Java technical interviews.

Technical Questions:

  • Demonstrate how to reverse a linked list.
  • Find the formula to solve an nXn Magic Square problem.
  • Search a max value in an unsorted array in better than O(n).
  • Find out the fastest way to locate the largest element in a circular sorted array.
  • How do you convert a max heap to min heap?
  • How will you implement three stacks with one array?
  • Can you design a data package transfer from London to Tokyo?
  • Can you write code to implement your own hashtable in C++ or Java?
  • Do you like coding or designing applications?
  • Given a 2D binary filled with 0’s and 1’s, find the largest rectangle containing all ones and return its area. Bonus if you can solve it in O)n^2) or less.

Behavioral Questions:

  • How did you go about accomplishing a specific project?
  • What is a technical challenge you overcame?
  • What is your favorite Google product? How would you improve it?
  • How did you deal with a group conflict?
  • Tell me about a situation when while working on a project you had to learn something you didn’t know.
  • How do you sort priorities when engaged in multitasking?
  • Do you prefer earning or learning?
  • Tell me about a time when you effectively managed your team to achieve a goal. What did your approach look like?
  • Tell me about a time you failed. How did you deal with this situation?
  • Tell me about a time when you faced a problem that had multiple possible solutions.

Interviewing is a Skill

Top tech companies get thousands of applicants and deliberately make it hard for you to get in

You
  • Are expected to prepare for the interview.
  • Are tested on core CS Data Structures and Algorithms rather than your own domain.
  • Have to come up with solutions to complex problems in a short span of time.
  • Are asked to articulate your assumptions, your decisions and your solutions.
  • Have to code on a whiteboard, an unfamiliar coding platform, on a sheet of paper or a shared doc.

“The course was very intense. During the two months it lasted, I would easily work 2+ hours every day, weekends included, on the homework problems. This course is just practice, practice, practice. And it works! Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I accepted my offer with Facebook.”
