  • How to Hire a Great Freelance Java Developer?


    Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and his colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. There has been a significant increase in the number of Java developers over the years. It went from 1.5 Million in 2003 to 7 Million in 2007 when Java became an open-source. The year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of Java, and it has still managed to maintain its position in the top 3 most popular programming languages. A lot of enterprise companies use Java for their server-side programming because it is exceptionally robust and user-friendly.

    If you’re looking for a freelance Java developer, this guide will come handy. We’ve included everything you need to know about the hiring process.

    But before we get into the fundamentals of hiring a freelance Java developer, let’s delve into some interesting facts about Java.

    We have broken the sections into the following parts:
    1. Let's introduce Java to you.
    2. Why is Java widespread?
    3. Writing the Job Description
    4. Interview Questions for hiring a Java developer
    - Basic Questions
    - Advanced Questions
    - Data Structures/Algo Questions


    1. Let's introduce Java to you

    • Origin story: Java was initially developed by James and his colleagues(a.k.a, the ‘green team’) for digital devices like set-top boxes, television, etc. It was called ‘Greentalk’ and ‘Oak’ before Gosling came up with the name ‘Java.’ This project was created to implement a virtual machine that is easier than C/C++.

    • Widely popular: According to Daxx’s LinkedIn research, the USA has the highest number of Java programmers- 63K, followed by the UK with almost 14K Java developers.

    • Top companies using Java: Top companies like Google, Instagram, Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack, Spotify, etc. use Java.

    • Other trivia: In 1995, Time magazine featured Java as one of the Ten Best Products of 1995.

    • 2. Why is Java widespread?

      • User-friendly: Java has an English-like syntax, which makes it easy to learn. It is easy to advance from Core Java to Advanced Java for someone who has a functional knowledge of C and C++.
      • Robust: Java is robust as it utilizes strong memory management. No use of pointers bypasses security dilemmas. It also has an automatic garbage collector, which runs on the Java Virtual Machine(JVM) to eliminate objects which are not being accepted by a Java application anymore.

      3. Writing the Job Description

      Below are some key points that we at Flexiple have learned through trial and error - a process of filtering through over 15,000 developers.

      • Years of software development experience: Be specific about the technology you’re looking for and the number of years of experience needed. A proxy to years of experience can be the number of production-level apps worked on.

      • Expertise in a specific framework: All frameworks have their peculiarities and nuances. While good Java developers can pick up other frameworks, it’s a plus point to hire a developer who already has expertise in it.

      • Type of products built in the past: Based on the type of product you are trying to build - social network, SAAS product, etc. - you can prioritize certain developers over others.

      • Exposure to specific industries: Developers who have built products in certain industries will already know key aspects of laying the foundation for a great product and will be able to predict possible problems.

      • Experience working remotely: Hiring someone who has worked remotely in the past is an added advantage as they would have first-hand experience of everything right from how contracts work to communication and from timelines to deliverables.

      • Strong communication: An essential thing to look at when hiring a freelancer is excellent communication skills. Since all the interaction happens online, freelancer should be able to effectively communicate to ensure a streamlined execution of all work.

      • 4. Interview Questions for hiring a Java developer

        Now that you have made a quality JD, it can still be tricky to evaluate the skills of your applicants. To help you with that, we have created a pool of questions that a good Java developer should be comfortable with.
        It is important to note that the ability to answer these questions doesn't imply that you have a top quality candidate. But it definitely is a big step in that direction.

        To help you navigate through these questions, we’ve categorized the interview questions in 3 parts:

        A. Basic concepts: Includes all basic concepts used across languages but we've focused on its significance in Java. This section will give you an understanding of how strong their programming foundation is.

        B. Advanced concepts: Includes all concepts that someone with higher expertise should know.

        C. DS/Algorithm questions: To test the logical capability of the candidate.


        A. Basic concepts


        Coming soon!


        B. Advanced concepts


        Coming soon!


        C. Data Structure/ Algorithm

  • 1. Given a string containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid. An input string is valid if: Open brackets must be closed by the same type of brackets. Open brackets must be closed in the correct order. Note that an empty string is also considered valid.


    class ValidParenthesesFunc {
        func isValid(_ s: String) -> Bool {
            var stc = [Character]()
    
            for char in s {
                if char == "(" || char == "[" || char == "{" {
                    stc.append(char)
                } else if char == ")" {
                    guard stc.count != 0 && stc.removeLast() == "(" else {
                        return false
                    }
                } else if char == "]" {
                    guard stc.count != 0 && stc.removeLast() == "[" else {
                        return false
                    }
                } else if char == "}" {
                    guard stc.count != 0 && stc.removeLast() == "{" else {
                        return false
                    }
                }
            }
            return stc.isEmpty
        }
    }
    
    The above code will input 0(false). 
  • 2.  Write a program to find whether a string or number is palindrome or not.


    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Palindrome {
        public static void main (String[] args) {
            String original, reverse = "";
     Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
           int length;
            System.out.println("Enter a number or a string");
            original = in.nextLine();
            length = original.length();
            for (int i =length -1; i>;=0; i--) {
                reverse = reverse + original.charAt(i);
            }
            System.out.println("The reverse is: " +reverse);
    
            if(original.equals(reverse))
                System.out.println("The string is a palindrome");
            else
                System.out.println("The stringis not a palindrome");
    
        }
    }
    
    Output:
    For String- Enter a number or a string
    sam
    The reverse is: mas
    The string is not a palindrome
    
    For Number-Enter a number or a string
    99
    The reverse is: 99
    The number is a palindrome 
  • 3. What will the output of the following code be?


    class Test {
    public static void main(String args[])
        {
            String str1 = new String("Hello World");
            String str2 = new String("Hello World");
    
            String str3 = "Hello World";
            String str4 = "Hello World";
    
            int a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
    
            if (str3 == str4)
                a = 1;
            else
                a = 2;
    
            if (str1.equals(str3))
                b = 1;
            else
                b = 2;
    
            if (str1 == str4)
                c = 1;
            else
                c = 2;
            System.out.println("a= " + a + " b= " + b + " c= " + c);
        }
    }
    

    A. a=2 b=1 c=2
    B. a=2 b=2 c=2
    C. a=1 b=2 c=1
    D. a=1 b=1 c=2

    D. a=1 b=1 c=2 because a new memory is created when we make an object with the help of the ‘new’ keyword, 
    and the reference variable contains the memory location. 
    Here the memory is created with the same string twice, but since we are comparing objects and not strings, 
    the object will point to a different memory location and so they are not equal. 

    Parting thoughts


    That is everything you need to know about hiring a freelance Java developer. As discussed, it isn't easy to find a quality freelance Java developer but this guide makes the process easier for you. To offload the entire hiring process, reach out to us at Flexiple.
