Tips for clearing programming/system test

Question

Can anyone give me tips to crack Java fresher interview and commonly asked programs??And also tips for written test programming in finding output??

Answer 1

How good are you at Java currently? If it were myself, I'd keep reading through the language prior to having to take a test/interview on it. Memorize what you can and study/practice it to solidify your learning. The reality is that they could ask you ANY question about the programming language and expect you to know it; and they may ask you questions based upon answers you give to previous questions so they can further assess that area of you.

If it's entry level, then you should be able to get by with core knowledge of the language and ability to show your core knowledge of it.

Make sure that you're confident in your ability to use classes/objects, arrays, threads, and such things. If you're not confident in your ability to use them, spend some time honing those skills. In my experience, classes/objects/arrays/threads seem to give most people the most difficulty, but once you learn them it's really not as intimidating as it seemed to be.

Have you created any projects that you can use in your portfolio? If not, I would create some stuff that you can showcase to them and show your ability. Make sure you're able to explain your program if asked questions about it.

Communication is probably the most important thing here. You can talk your way in and out of situations quicker than your skill sets will ever do. Learn the ins/outs of interviews and how to deal with people. I don't have a degree, but I'm in a position that requires one; however, I talked my way into it and convinced them that it's a good idea to hire me even without a degree. My ability to communicate allowed me to work alongside people with a degree even though I don't have one myself. Obviously you need the skill sets also, but as far as the interview is concerned, I talked to them and sold them on my abilities. They're only humans so use the power of communication on them; it works.

I'll test you: In Code Playground, create a simple calculator. However, I want you to use classes/objects for all of its features. Simple entry test.

Also, make sure that you know the common practices/standards/conventions for code, from formatting to the naming conventions, etc.. This is VERY important, especially if you're going to be working for a company or on a team of programmers. You can be a brilliant programmer, but if you can't follow simple guidelines that are set by the industry, then you'll be more of a problem for them than helpful. You want to be in sync with the practices that they use an use them. This makes it easier on everyone on the team and makes it easier for you to contribute to existing code. as well as helping others when they have to deal with your code.

If you do that simple test I suggested and post it up, I'll come back in a little bit and give you feedback on it.

Btw, if you've ONLY used SoloLearn to learn Java, then I highly recommend that you spend some time elsewhere learning about threading and about how to utilize Java's GUI systems. Unfortunately, those are very important things that SoloLearn doesn't cover, and those are things you'll want to know prior to applying for a job somewhere.

Answer 3

Actually I've trained in core and Adv,theoretically perfect but due to 1 year gap I lost the skills and interest in programming and now Iam not able to implement a logic by my own.

Answer 4

@TeJa

If your problem is simply being rusty, then you need to create some stuff or work on something prior so you can get yourself back in the groove of things and refresh your memory on what you know.

Answer 5

Hello TeJa! This has nothing to do with your question but I did want to tell you something. I was on your profile after our challenge and saw that you lose a lot of challenges. And I was wondering if you review the challenges after they are completed. If you do not, you should. Some questions or variants of them come back and having reviewed previous completed challenges helps a lot... Good luck! ☺
