QUESTION 12 OF 20

What is a marker interface, and how do you use it when writing Java code for the Salesforce CRM environment?

The fact that this is a technical question is obvious since it asks you to define a term and then discuss how it is used. Make sure you answer each part of the question in the order asked. This will help the interviewer follow your answer and confirm that you are listening to their questions during the interview.

"A marker interface, as it is used in Java, is a design pattern which provides runtime information about the objects within the program. It also enables the addition of metadata with a class even though the Java language doesn't implicitly support metadata. When coding in Java, the marker interface is used as an interface which doesn't specify a method."

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

A marker interface is an interface that has no methods or constants inside. This provides the developer runtime information about the objects within the program.
