Question & Answers

Records (Preview)

Q1. What is a record in Java 14?

record Person(String name, int age) {}

System.out.println(p.name() + ", " + p.age());

Output: Alice, 30

Q2. How do you create an instance of a record?

Person p = new Person("Bob", 25);
System.out.println(p);

Output: Person[name=Bob, age=25]

Q3. How are records different from classes?

// Records are immutable, concise data carriers with automatic equals, hashCode, toString

Output: Records provide auto-generated methods; classes require manual code.

Q4. How can you add methods to a record?

record Point(int x, int y) {
    public int sum() { return x + y; }
}
System.out.println(new Point(3, 4).sum());

Output: 7

Q5. Can records implement interfaces?
