✅ OOP Interview Questions with Answers Part-5 🧠💻

41. What is multiple inheritance?
It means a class can inherit from more than one parent class.
✔ Supported in C++
✖ Not directly supported in Java (handled via interfaces)

42. What are mixins?
Mixins are a way to add reusable behavior to classes without using inheritance.
✔ Used in Python and JavaScript
✔ Promotes code reuse

43. What is the diamond problem in inheritance?
Occurs when two parent classes inherit from a common grandparent, and a child class inherits both.
❌ Creates ambiguity about which method to inherit.

44. How is the diamond problem solved in C++ or Java?
• C++: Uses virtual inheritance
• Java: Avoids it entirely using interfaces (no multiple class inheritance)

45. What are abstract data types in OOP?
ADTs define what operations can be done, not how.
Examples: Stack, Queue, List
✔ Implementation is hidden
✔ Promotes abstraction

46. What is a design pattern in OOP?
Reusable solution to a common software design problem.
✔ Templates for writing clean, maintainable code

47. What are some common OOP design patterns?
• Singleton – one instance
• Factory – object creation logic
• Observer – event-based updates
• Strategy – interchangeable behavior
• Adapter – interface compatibility

48. Interface vs Abstract Class (Real-world use)
• Interface – Contract; use when you want to define capability (e.g., Drivable)
• Abstract Class – Shared structure + behavior; base class for similar types (e.g., Vehicle)

49. What is garbage collection?
Automatic memory management – reclaims memory from unused objects.
✔ Java has a built-in GC
✔ Prevents memory leaks

50. Real-world use of OOP?
• Games – Objects for players, enemies
• Banking – Classes for accounts, transactions
• UI – Buttons, forms as objects
• E-commerce – Products, carts, users as objects
