What interview techniques should you use to hire the best Java developer?
Java remains to be a significant programming language today despite its long history. In fact, it is still among the most popular programming, scripting and markup languages and the most loved languages in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2018.
It has an uncomplicated syntax and a WORA approach (compatibility with all the major operating systems) which makes it one of the top choices. However, you can only enjoy these with a skilled Java developer in your team. It is also important to note that, just like you, other companies and organisations are looking for great Java developers as well. This is why with competition this tense, you should make a conscious effort to improve your hiring practices and interview techniques.
After asking the basic questions and knowing more about your candidates’ work ethics and past working experiences, it is essential that you also ask technical questions and give them technical problems to solve. Here are some of them:
Q: Why Java is called platform-independent?
A: Java follows a write-once-run-anywhere approach. This means that its byte code can run on any system or platform regardless of its underlying operating system as long as it has a Java Virtual Machine.
Q: What is the difference between JDK, JRE and JVM?
A: These three are the core technology packages used in Java programming.
- JDK stands for Java Development Kit. This is the tool used to compile, document and package Java programs. Along with JRE, this includes an interpreter/loader, a compiler (javac), an archiver (jar), a documentation generator (javadoc) and other tools. Simply put, the JDK enables developers to create Java programs that can be executed and run by the JVM and JRE.
- JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment. This is the runtime environment where java bytecode can be executed, and it provides all the class libraries and other support files that JVM uses at runtime. Simply put, JRE is a package of tools that is used to run Java code.
- JVM stands for Java Virtual Machine. This is the Java platform component that executes programs. Its two primary functions are: first, to allow Java programs to run on any device or operating system and, second, to manage and optimise program memory.
Q: What is public, static, void, main, and (String args[]).
- public : Public is an access modifier that is used to specify who can access this method. This signifies that the Method will be accessed by any Class.
- static : Static is a keyword in Java that signifies that something is class-based; this means that it can be accessed without creating the instance of a Class.
- void : Void is the return type of the method that will not return any value.
- main: Main is searched by JVM as a starting point for an application with a particular signature. This is the method where the main execution occurs.
- String args[] : It is the parameter passed to the main method.
Q: Can you give an example of a code that avoids unnecessary objects?
A: In Object Creation, among the best practices are to create or initialise Objects only if necessary. Here is an example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Employees {
private List Employees;
public List getEmployees() {
//initialize only when required
if(null == Employees) {
Employees = new ArrayList();
}
return Employees;
}
}
