I just finished a phone technical interview (on
Java of course). It was my first one and please listen to this...
It all went "very well" according to him at the end. However, he was under the impression that:
1) a non-final method cannot be made final in a subclass because it is
"more restrictive" to do so. I respectfully disagreed.
2) there is an access modifier that allows
ONLY subclasses to directly access a variable in a class
WITHOUT allowing access by classes in the same package that are NOT subclasses. He thought protected did the job. And he thinks I was wrong in saying that it could not be done. What do you think? Did I miss something in my studies? Simply put, protected is less restrictive than package access so...!!
Anyway, I expect them now to schedule a personal interview in Ft. Lauderdale,
"Where The Girls Are" BTW, it is a requirement of the job to also be completely fluent in the Spanish language. Their client in Ft. Lauderdale is the
Latino Division of a very large international bank.
"I really want this job"! BTW, I have NO IDEA of what salary is involved...
PS: The guy had a Master's Degree in Physics and another in Comp Sci.
