Concurrency is always a challenge for developers and writing concurrent programs can be extremely hard.
There is a number of things that could potentially blow up and the complexity of systems rises considerably when concurrency is introduced.
However, the ability to write robust concurrent programs is a great tool in a developer’s belt and can help build sophisticated, enterprise level applications.
In this guide we will discuss different types of questions that can be used in a programming interview in order to assess a candidate’s understanding of concurrency and multithreading.
The questions are not only Java specific, but revolve around general programming principles.
Multithreading and Concurrency Questions includes:
Threads
Schedulers
Locks
Synchronization
Atomic
Executors
Concurrent package
Fork/Join Framework
Futures
ThreadLocals
InterruptedException
