PD 2nd round

Leave a comment

So I had a second interview with PD, first interview went OK but they @ the end, the job opening didn’t come through, so after a few months another recruiter contacted me and we started another process.

This second interview it was with a couple of MX guys, they asked a lot of questions regarding Java basics, OO on Java, keywords, threads and stuff like that, pretty simple…and if I remember correctly, they said that polymorphism could be done with overload and overwrite; something that has come up quite popular.

This is something I discussed with LACS one time because I was curious about it, he told me that the idea has become popular but he thought the same as me, is not really polymorphism when you do and overload. He even said that there was polymorphism a @compile-time and @execution-time, according to this new line that wasn’t as close to the original OOP.
