QUESTION 17 OF 20

How does an OutOfMemoryError impact a program written in Java, and how can this be corrected?

This is an example of a hybrid technical and operational question. While technical questions asked during an interview at Salesforce you will be quizzed about specific concepts, operational questions explore how you do your job. This question first asks you to define how a specific concept impacts your program and then discuss how to remediate it. As with technical questions, hybrid or operational questions should be answered briefly and to the point.

"An OutOfMemoryError is created by the JVM when there is no memory available for it to use. This will result in a program halting. The simple way to fix this is to allocate more memory to run in the java application."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

An OutOfMemoryError is a runtime error in which occurs when the JVM is unable to allocate an object due to insufficient space. Adding more memory in the Java heap is a quick way to fix this issue.
