Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

Technical round with questions mainly on Java and OOPS concepts.

  • Q1. What is the difference between static methods and instance methods in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Static methods belong to the class itself, while instance methods belong to individual objects of the class.

    • Static methods are called using the class name, while instance methods are called using object references.

    • Static methods cannot access instance variables directly, while instance methods can access both static and instance variables.

    • Static methods are shared among all instances of the class, while instance method...

  • Q2. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods, while interface can only have abstract methods.

    • Abstract class can have constructors, member variables, and methods with implementation.

    • Interface can only have abstract methods and constants.

    • A class can implement multiple interfaces but can only extend one abstract class.

    • Example: Abstract class - Animal with abstract method 'eat', Interface - Flyable with m...

  • Q3. What is the difference between ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError in Java?
  • Ans. 

    ClassNotFoundException occurs when a class is not found during runtime, while NoClassDefFoundError occurs when a class was found during compilation but not during runtime.

    • ClassNotFoundException is a checked exception, while NoClassDefFoundError is an Error.

    • ClassNotFoundException occurs when a class is not found at runtime, usually due to a missing classpath or incorrect class name.

    • NoClassDefFoundError occurs when a cla...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is the difference between an Error and an Exception in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Error is a serious issue that cannot be handled at runtime, while Exception is a recoverable issue that can be caught and handled.

    • Error is a subclass of Throwable and is usually caused by the environment or system, such as running out of memory or stack overflow.

    • Exception is also a subclass of Throwable but is caused by the application code, such as invalid input or file not found.

    • Errors are unchecked and are not meant...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is SerialVersionUID in Java?
  • Ans. 

    SerialVersionUID is a unique identifier used by Java to ensure the compatibility of serialized objects.

    • SerialVersionUID is a static final long variable in a class that implements Serializable interface.

    • It is used to ensure that the serialized object can be deserialized correctly even if the class definition has changed.

    • If the SerialVersionUID of the serialized object does not match the one in the class, an InvalidClass...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. What are the requirements for creating an immutable class in Java?
  • Ans. 

    Requirements for creating an immutable class in Java

    • Make the class final so it cannot be extended

    • Make all fields private and final

    • Do not provide setter methods, only getter methods

    • Ensure that mutable objects are not returned in getter methods

    • Override equals() and hashCode() methods for proper comparison

    • Consider making defensive copies of mutable fields in constructor or getter methods

  • Q1. Questions related to the work done at my previous company
  • Q2. Find if a given directed graph is cyclic or not
  • Ans. 

    To check if a directed graph is cyclic or not

    • Use Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm to traverse the graph

    • Maintain a visited set to keep track of visited nodes

    • Maintain a recursion stack to keep track of nodes in the current DFS traversal

    • If a node is visited and is already in the recursion stack, then the graph is cyclic

    • If DFS traversal completes without finding a cycle, then the graph is acyclic

    Return a random byte from a stream of bytes with equal probability.

    • Create a variable to store the count of bytes read

    • Create a variable to store the current random byte

    • For each byte read, generate a random number between 0 and the count of bytes read

  • Ans. 

    Algorithm to find Nth-to-Last element in a singly linked list of unknown length

    • Traverse the list and maintain two pointers, one at the beginning and one at Nth node from beginning

    • Move both pointers simultaneously until the second pointer reaches the end of the list

    • The first pointer will be pointing to the Nth-to-Last element

    • If N=0, return the last element

    • Parse the list only once

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Given an array of integers, print all possible permutations. Also explain your approach
  • Ans. 

    Print all possible permutations of an array of integers

    • Use recursion to swap elements and generate permutations

    • When pushing an element, compare it with the top of minimum stack and push the smaller one

    • When popping an element, pop from both stacks

    • To get the minimum element, just return the top of minimum stack

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Given a linked list with loop, how would you find the starting point of the loop ?
  • Ans. 

    To find the starting point of a loop in a linked list, use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

    • Use two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.

    • When they meet, move one pointer to the head of the list and keep the other at the meeting point.

    • Move both pointers one step at a time until they meet again, which is the starting point of the loop.

  • Ans. 

    To find a number in a matrix where all rows and columns are sorted non-decreasingly. Complexity of the solution.

    • Use binary search to find the number in each row and column

    • Start from the top-right corner or bottom-left corner to optimize search

    • Time complexity: O(m log n) or O(n log m) depending on the starting corner
