Java: Fields and State
Answer
State influences how methods operate. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
An object's state, held in its fields, affects method execution. For example, in a CartItem class, a 'quantity' field's value determines the result of a method calculating the total price. Changes in state can lead to different outcomes when invoking methods.
