Process

I had two interview rounds. I was asked questions and given programming exercises in:

  • Java (Collections, Multithreading, OO concepts)
  • Data Structures (Stack and Queue)
  • Design Patterns (Singleton)
  • SQL
  • C++

I was also asked questions about my previous work experience and school projects.

Both rounds were telephonic.

Questions

If I mark an ArrayList as final, can I add more elements to it?
