Hi all,

I recently gave the first round of an interview at EXL for a Java Developer role. I have 7+ years of experience and am currently working at a service-based company.

The interview had two sections:

1. Java
2. DSA

Some of the questions asked were:

• Use of the intern() method
• Different ways to create objects in Java
• Using try/catch inside finally — why and when
• Whether final and static can be used with an abstract class and explain reason.
• Explain Bubble Sort and its time complexity (first time I was asked this in an interview!)

DSA question:

• Move Zeroes to the End

I think I flunked it.
