[Java] 36. What are the 4 principles of OOP? (2 min.) - Solution: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Abstraction, Polymorphism
[Java] 37. What is the concept of Encapsulation? (2 min.) - Solution: This is one of the concepts of OOP and it allows us to hide the name of the variable. We set the variables we want hidden to have a private AccessMod and then create getter() and setter() methods to set and retrieve the values of those private variables....but it doesnt mean we reveal what the variables actually stand for.
[Java] 38. What is the concept of Inheritance? (2 min.) - Solution: Inheritance is one of the concepts of OOP and it is a "relationship" between classes. When a class inherits another class it is saying it has an "IS A" relationship with that class(Superclass to Subclass / Parent to Child). It is the fastest way to make a class rich.

[Selenium] 53. Reason why you would not be able to locate an element. (2 min.) - Solution: Locator changed, there is and iframe, Waiting time (page is loading slowly or Element is dynamic), page is not fully loaded/opened, page changes and that element doesn't exist anymore
[Selenium] 54. What is Absolute and Relative xpath? (2 min.) - Solution: Absolute Xpath (starts with single (/): It uses Complete path from the Root Element to the desire element. Relative Xpath (starts with single (//): You can simply start by referencing the element you want and go from there. Relative Xpath are always preferred as they are not the complete paths from the root element.
[Selenium] 55. How can we move to parent element using xpath? (2 min.) - Solution: Using (..)expresion in xpath, we can move to parent element
[Selenium] 56. Mention 4 exceptions in Selenium and how to handle them (5 min.) - Solution: Though there are many Exception classes under WebDriverException, we commonly see these: NoSuchElementException, NoSuchWindowException, NoSuchFrameException, NoAlertPresentException, InvalidSelectorException, ElementNotVisibleException, ElementNotSelectableException,TimeoutException, NoSuchSessionException, StaleElementReferenceException

[GH] 58. What is the gitignore file? (2 min.) - Solution: gitignore file is a text file that tells Git which files or folders to ignore in a project. A local . gitignore file is usually placed in the root directory of a project. ... Each new line should list an additional file or folder that you want Git to ignore. The entries in this file can also follow a matching pattern.

[Selenium] 61. Differences between driver.close and driver.quit command (2 min.) - Solution: driver.close() is used to close the current browser. driver.quit() is used to close all the browser instances
[Selenium] 62. How can we move to the nth child element using xpath? (2 min.) - Solution: There are two ways: 1. Using square brackets with index position, like div[2] will find the second div element. 2. Using position() method like dive[position()=2] will find the second div element
[Java] 63. What is an Exception and exception handling? (3 min.) - Solution: Exceptions are events due to which java program ends abruptly without giving expected output. Java provides a framework where a user can handle exceptions. The process of handling Exceptions is called Exception Handling. Exceptions need to be handled because they break the normal flow of execution of a program. One of the important intentions of exception handling is to prevent this break and continue program execution. Sometimes, you might want to perform some series of actions on occurring of a certain exception.
[Java] 64. Mention the class hierarchy of exception and error. (3 min.) - Solution: #1) Checked Exception: Checked exception is handled during compile time and it gives the compilation error if it is not caught and handled during compile time. #2) Unchecked Exception: In case of the unchecked exception, a compiler does not mandate to handle. The compiler ignores during compile time. #3) Error: When a scenario is fatal and the program cannot recover then JVM throws an error. Errors cannot be handled by the try-catch block. Even if the user tries to handle the error by using Try catch block, it cannot recover from the error.
[Java] 65. How do you handle an exception? (3 min.) - Solution:  Try and Catch block: try-catch blocks are generally used to handle exceptions. Type of exceptions is declared in catch block which is expected to come. When an exception comes in try block, immediately control moves to catch block.  throws Exception: throws keyword in java is used to throw an exception rather than handling it. All checked exceptions can be thrown by methods.  finally block: finally, block executes irrespective of execution of try-catch block and it executes immediately after try/catch block completes. Throwable: Throwable is a parent class for error and exception. Generally, it is difficult to handle errors in java. If a programmer is not sure about the type of error and exception, then it is advised to use the Throwable class which can catch both error and exception.
[Java] 66. What is 508 testing? (2 min.) - Solution:
[SS] 67. How many environments are there? (1 min.) - Solution:
[SS] 68. Which part of the regression test should be automated? (3 min.) - Solution: tests which are stable,  repeated frequently, simple and required no tester input  are good candidates for automation (edited)
[Java] 69. What is the abstract concept in OOP and why do we use it? Give one example please (2 min.) - Solution: Abstract classes help us organize what all the subclasses SHOULD have/do
[Java] 70. What is the difference between Interface and Abstraction? How are each created? What methods cannot be abstract/interfaced? (3 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 71. Write a return method that can reverse  String. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 72. Write a return method that can remove the duplicated values from String. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 73. Write a return  method that can find the unique characters from the String. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 74. Write a return method that check if a string is build out of the same letters as another string. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 75. Write a return method that can find the frequency of characters. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 76. Write a method that can return the sum of the digits in a string. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 77. Write a method that can find the maximum number from an int Array. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 78. Write a method that can find the minimum number from an int Array. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 79. Write a return method that can concat two arrays. (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 80. Write  a method which can identifies given number is even or odd.  (2 min.) - Solution:
[TQ] 81. Write a method which prints out the numbers from 1 to 30 but for numbers which are a multiple of 3, print "FIN" instead of the number and for numbers which are a multiple of 5, print "RA" instead of the number. for numbers which are a multiple of both 3 and 5, print "FINRA" instead of the number. (2 min.) - Solution:

[Java] 88. Can we override the static methods? (2 min.) - Solution: No, we can not override static methods. If a static method is created with a similar method signature as a method being passed down by inheritance this will be method hiding, not  overriding.
[Java] 89. Can we execute a program without main() method? (2 min.) - Solution: Yes, one of the ways to execute the program without the main method is using static block. Also, in testing we use other approaches such as the Test annotations to run the code.
[Java] 90. What is difference between stack and heap? (2 min.) - Solution: Both are used for memory but have different purposes. Stack: Stores primitives, method calls, and references; Heap: Stores the objects themselves. The String pool is also in the heap.
[Java] 91. What are Wrapper classes? (2 min.) - Solution: Wrapper classes are object representations of primitive datatypes. These classes are needed to be able to store primitive like data in collections such as ArrayList. These wrapper classes also have useful utility methods.
