Perhaps what was meant would be best asked of the interviewer. I don't know what such a question would mean.
At any rate, I'm moving this to the Intermediate forum...

I guess interviewer expected answer would have been,
Garbage Collection algorithms ,Thread scheduling algorithms etc etc.
This algorithms varies between JVM versions.
There are also other alogorithms such as symmetric algorithm, Data Encryption Standard (DES) etc.

Hi All,
sometime or say most of the time interviewer trys to impress the candidate
to show that he is great.
So they will ask all these questions, Even I asked today from one guy hey
can u define a class inside an Interface.
(Answer is yes)
(Even i got to know abt this yesterday itself about this from Java Ranch.)
So do prepare general questions.
bye
