- Q1. Implement queue with the help of two stacks
- Ans.
Queue can be implemented using two stacks by maintaining the order of elements in the stacks.
Create two stacks, let's call them stack1 and stack2
When an element is enqueued, push it to stack1
When an element is dequeued, pop all elements from stack1 and push them to stack2
Pop the top element from stack2 and return it as the dequeued element
If stack2 is empty, repeat step 3
To get the front element of the queue, peek the

- Q3. What is left join. Give example. And Full outer join?
- Ans.
Left join returns all records from left table and matching records from right table. Full outer join returns all records from both tables.
Left join is used to combine two tables based on a common column.
In left join, all records from the left table are returned along with matching records from the right table.
If there is no match in the right table, NULL values are returned.
Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table...
- Q4. What is magic functions and autoloading in PHP?
- Ans.
Magic functions are special methods in PHP that start with __. Autoloading is a way to automatically load classes.
Magic functions are used to handle certain events in PHP, such as object creation or property access.
Autoloading allows PHP to automatically load classes when they are needed, without requiring manual includes.
Magic functions can be used in conjunction with autoloading to dynamically load classes or handle

- Ans.
Given three sorted arrays, find common elements.

- Q7. Asked about one of my projects I mentioned in my resume?
- Q8. Find if a number is a power of 2 or not?
- Ans.
Check if a number is a power of 2 or not.
A power of 2 has only one bit set in its binary representation.
Use bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.
If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

- Q1. What is event bubbling?
- Ans.
Event bubbling is the propagation of an event from the innermost child element to the outermost parent element.

The .on() method can also handle dynamically added elements
The .click() method cannot handle dynamically added elements

- Q1. What is event bubbling in JavaScript?
- Ans.
Event bubbling is the process where an event triggered on a child element is propagated up through its parent elements.
In event bubbling, when an event occurs on a child element, it first runs the event handlers on the child element, then on its parent, then all the way up to the top level of the DOM.
Event bubbling allows for delegation of event handling to a parent element, reducing the number of event listeners neede...
