OOPS of C#.Net Interview Questions(50)

          OOPS of C#.Net Interview Questions(50)


1.What is OOP?
A)Acronym for Oop is Object oriented Programming.All managed languages in the .Net Framework such as Visual Basic and C# provides  full support for object oriented programming principles.

2.What are the features of OOP?
A)Any programming language which supports OOPs principles should follow the following features.They are
                               Ø  Abstraction
                               Ø  Encapsulation
                               Ø  Polymorphism
                               Ø  Inheritance

3.What is Class?
A)Class is a collection of things which posses a common similarities.Class is a user defined data type is known as reference type. 
                                             (OR)
Class is a collection of entities
Declaration:  Acessspecifier Class ClassName
E.G:Public Class A (Here ‘A’ is a name of a class)

4.What are the members of class?
A)Class contains the following members.They are:
                  Ø  Data Fields
                  Ø  Functions
                  Ø  Constructors
                  Ø  Destructors
                  Ø  Properties
                  Ø  Indexers
                  Ø  Events

5.What is Object?
A)Instance of class is called object.It is used to represent a class.
6.Define Data Field?
A)DataField is used to store the data related to the class.Except data fields no other member of a class can store the data.
Syntax:Access modifier datatype datafieldname;
E.G:public int empid;
7.Define method?
A)A method is a re-usable piece of code which can be called again and again and used to perform required tasks.Any programming language will have methods.
8.Define Constructor?
A) A constructor is a special kind of method that creates new instances of a class or structure. Like any other method, a constructor can include parameters; however, constructors have no return value (that is, they return void).Constructor is a member method of a class which is invoked automatically when an object to the class is created.

9.What are the prerequisites of constructor?
A)It can be listed as follows:
              Ø  A Constructor name should be same name as class name.
              Ø  A Constructor does not have any return type even void also.
        Ø  A Constructor is used to initialize require values in to the data fields of the class or to pass the required value in to the data fields.
10.How many types of constructors?
A)Constructors can be classified into different types they are:
                               I.            Instance Constructors
Ø  Default Constructor
v  User Defined Constructor
v  System Defined Default Constructor
Ø  Parameterized Constructor
Ø  Copy Constructor
Ø  Private Constructor
                            II.            Non-Instance Constructors
Ø  Static Constructor

11.Define User Defined Default Constructor?
A)This Constructor is created by the programmer.This constructor doesn’t accept any arguments or parameters.This constructor is used to initialize required values in to the data fields.But there is no restriction to write particular code in to the constructor.

12.Define System Defined Default Constructor?
A)If there is no constructor defined within a class then system will create its own constructor and will assign default values into the data fields.

13.Define Parameterized Constructor?
A) A constructor with at least one parameter is called a parametrized constructor. The advantage of a parametrized constructor is that you can initialize each instance of the class to different values.

14.Define Copy Constructor?
A) The constructor which creates an object by copying variables from another object is called a copy constructor. The purpose of a copy constructor is to initialize a new instance to the values of an existing instance.

15.What is static Constructor?
A) When a constructor is created as static, it will be invoked only once for all of instances of the class and it is invoked during the creation of the first instance of the class or the first reference to a static member in the class. A static constructor is used to initialize static fields of the class and to write the code that needs to be executed only once.

16.what is Private Constructor?
A) When a constructor is created with a private specifier, it is not possible for other classes to derive from this class,neither is it possible to create an instance of this class. They are usually used in classes that contain static members
only. Some key points of a private constructor are:
          Ø  One use of a private constructor is when we have only static members.
          Ø  It provides an implementation of a singleton class pattern
          Ø  Once we provide a constructor that is either private or public or any, the compiler will not add the  parameter-less public constructor to the class.

17. In C#, What will happen if you do not explicitly provide a constructor for a class?
A)If you do not provide a constructor explicitly for your class, C# will create one by default that instantiates the object and sets all the member variables to their default values.
18.Structs are not reference types. Can structs have constructors?
A)Yes, even though Structs are not reference types, structs can have constructors.

19.We cannot create instances of static classes. Can we have constructors for static classes?
A)Yes, static classes can also have constructors.

20.Can you prevent a class from being instantiated?
A)Yes, a class can be prevented from being instantiated by using a private constructor as shown in the example below.

using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
//Error cannot create instance of a class with private constructor
SampleClass SC = new SampleClass();
}
}
class SampleClass
{
double PI = 3.141;
private SampleClass()
{
}
}
}

21.Can a class or a struct have multiple constructors?
A)Yes, a class or a struct can have multiple constructors. Constructors in csharp can be overloaded.

22.Can a child class call the constructor of a base class?
A)Yes, a child class can call the constructor of a base class by using the base keyword as shown in the example below.

using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass(string str)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
}

class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
public ChildClass(string str): base(str)
{
}

public static void Main()
{
ChildClass CC = new ChildClass("Calling base class constructor from child class");
}
}
}

23.If a child class instance is created, which class constructor is called first - base class or child class?
A)When an instance of a child class is created, the base class constructor is called before the child class constructor. An example is shown below.

using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("I am a base class constructor");
}
}
class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
public ChildClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("I am a child class constructor");
}
public static void Main()
{
ChildClass CC = new ChildClass();
}
}
}

24.Will the following code compile?
A)using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass(string str)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
}
class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
public ChildClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("I am a child class constructor");
}
public static void Main()
{
ChildClass CC = new ChildClass();
}
}
}

No, the above code will not compile. This is because, if a base class does not offer a default constructor, the derived class must make an explicit call to a base class constructor by using the base keyword as shown in the example below.

using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass(string str)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
}
class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
//Call the base class contructor from child class
public ChildClass() : base("A call to base class constructor")
{
Console.WriteLine("I am a child class constructor");
}
public static void Main()
{
ChildClass CC = new ChildClass();
}
}
}

25.Can a class have static constructor?
A)Yes, a class can have static constructor. Static constructors are called automatically, immediately before any static fields are accessed, and are generally used to initialize static class members. It is called automatically before the first instance is created or any static members are referenced. Static constructors are called before instance constructors. An example is shown below.

using System;
namespace TestConsole
{
class Program
{
static int I;
static Program()
{
I = 100;
Console.WriteLine("Static Constructor called");
}
public Program()
{
Console.WriteLine("Instance Constructor called");
}
public static void Main()
{
Program P = new Program();
}
}

26.Can you mark static constructor with access modifiers?
A)No, we cannot use access modifiers on static constructor.

27.Can you have parameters for static constructors?
A)No, static constructors cannot have parameters.

28.What happens if a static constructor throws an exception?
A)If a static constructor throws an exception, the runtime will not invoke it a second time, and the type will remain uninitialized for the lifetime of the application domain in which your program is running.

29.Give 2 scenarios where static constructors can be used?
A)1. A typical use of static constructors is when the class is using a log file and the constructor is used to write entries to this file.
2. Static constructors are also useful when creating wrapper classes for unmanaged code, when the constructor can call the LoadLibrary method.

30.What is the use of New keyword?
A) New keyword may be used as a modifier and as an operator. When used as an operator, it creates an object on a heap to invoke constructors. When used an a modifier, it hides an inherited member from the base class member.
     As an operator, it can be used to create an object and then to invoke the constructor of the class. See example below.
Example
SomeClass objSomeClass =  new SomeClass(); //Creating a class object and invoking its constructor
float amount = new float(); //Creating an object of the type, and invoking its constructor

31.What is a Destructor?
A)A Destructor has the same name as the class with a tilde character and is used to destroy an instance of a class.

32.Can a class have more than 1 destructor?
A)No, a class can have only 1 destructor.

33.Can structs in C# have destructors?
A)No, structs can have constructors but not destructors, only classes can have destructors.

34.Can you pass parameters to destructors?
A)No, you cannot pass parameters to destructors. Hence, you cannot overload destructors.

35.Can you explicitly call a destructor?
A)No, you cannot explicitly call a destructor. Destructors are invoked automatically by the garbage collector.

36.Why is it not a good idea to use Empty destructors?
A)When a class contains a destructor, an entry is created in the Finalize queue. When the destructor is called, the garbage collector is invoked to process the queue. If the destructor is empty, this just causes a needless loss of performance.

37.Is it possible to force garbage collector to run?
A)Yes, it possible to force garbage collector to run by calling the Collect() method, but this is not considered a good practice because this might create a performance over head. Usually the programmer has no control over when the garbage collector runs. The garbage collector checks for objects that are no longer being used by the application. If it considers an object eligible for destruction, it calls the destructor(if there is one) and reclaims the memory used to store the object.

38.Usually in .NET, the CLR takes care of memory management. Is there any need for a programmer to explicitly release memory and resources? If yes, why and how?
A)If the application is using expensive external resource, it is recommend to explicitly release the resource before the garbage collector runs and frees the object. We can do this by implementing the Dispose method from the IDisposable interface that performs the necessary cleanup for the object. This can considerably improve the performance of the application.

39.When do we generally use destructors to release resources?
A)If the application uses unmanaged resources such as windows, files, and network connections, we use destructors to release resources.
   
40.What is struct?
A) A struct type is a value type that is typically used to encapsulate small groups of related variables, such as the coordinates of a rectangle or the characteristics of an item in an inventory.   


41.How can we declare struct?
A) The following example shows a simple struct declaration:
public struct Book
{
    public decimal price;
    public string title;
    public string author;
}

42.What is Enum?
A) The enum keyword is used to declare an enumeration, a distinct type that consists of a set of named constants called the enumerator list.
                  Usually it is best to define an enum directly within a namespace so that all classes in the namespace can access it with equal convenience. However, an enum can also be nested within a class or struct.

43.How can we declare enum?
A) enum Days {Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri};

44.Can we override enum?
A)Yes. Enumerators can use initializers to override the default values, as shown in the following example.
enum Days {Sat=1, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri};

45.Can a struct have a default constructor (a constructor without parameters) or a destructor in C#?
A)No

46.Can you instantiate a struct without using a new operator in C#?
A)Yes, you can instantiate a struct without using a new operator

47.Can a struct inherit from another struct or class in C#?
A)No, a struct cannot inherit from another struct or class, and it cannot be the base of a class.

48.Can a struct inherit from an interface in C#?
A)Yes

49.Are structs value types or reference types?
A)Structs are value types.

50.What is the base type from which all structs inherit directly?
A)All structs inherit directly from System.ValueType, which inherits from System.Object.
