Core Java Bullet points………
map ,collection, generic, multithreding, exception

The path is an environment variable which is used by operating systems
Classpath is very specific to Java and used for locating .class files by java executables
What is the final Keyword in Java?

IS-A relationship based on Inheritance, which can be of two types Class Inheritance or Interface Inheritance.
Has-a relationship is composition relationship which is a productive way of code reuse.
Difference between Constructor and Method
The purpose of constructor is to initialize the object of a class while the purpose of a method is to perform a task by executing java code.
Constructors cannot be abstract, final, static and synchronised while methods can be.
Constructors do not have return types while methods do
Main method declaration in Java
public static void main(String[] args)
you can use modifier final ,synchronized ,strictfp
public final synchronized strictfp static void main(String args[])
Difference b/w Hashset, LinkedHashSet and TreeSet
Wildcards in Java
The question mark (?) is known as the wildcard in generic programming .It represents an unknown type. The wildcard can be used in a variety of situations such as the type of a parameter, field, or local variable; sometimes as a return type
Types of wildcards in Java:
Upper Bounded Wildcards: These wildcards can be used when you want to relax the restrictions on a variable. For example, say you want to write a
public static void add(List<? extends Number> list)
Lower Bounded Wildcards: It is expressed using the wildcard character (‘?’), followed by the super keyword, followed by its lower bound: <? super
Collection type <? super A>
Multithreding
Solid principal
