  • Q1. Right view of Binary Tree
  • Ans. 

    The right view of a binary tree shows the nodes that are visible when looking at the tree from the right side.

    • The right view of a binary tree can be obtained by performing a level order traversal and keeping track of the rightmost node at each level.

    • Nodes that are visible from the right side are the ones that are the rightmost at their level.

    • Example: For the binary tree [1, 2, 3, null, 5, null, 4], the right view would

Interview Questionnaire 

15 Questions

  • Q1. Find Minimum and Maximum of an array in only one traversal
  • Ans. 

    Find the minimum and maximum values in an array in a single traversal.

    • Initialize min and max variables with the first element of the array

    • Iterate through the array and update min and max if a smaller or larger value is found

    • Return the min and max values

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Given a chessboard find the maximum number of squares present?
  • Ans. 

    The maximum number of squares on a chessboard is 64.

    • The chessboard has 64 squares in total.

    • The number of squares on a chessboard can be calculated using the formula n^2, where n is the number of rows or columns.

    • In this case, n = 8 (8 rows and 8 columns), so the maximum number of squares is 8^2 = 64.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is C++? Difference between deep and shallow copy?
  • Ans. 

    C++ is a programming language. Deep copy creates a new object and copies all values, while shallow copy creates a reference to the original object.

    • C++ is a general-purpose programming language

    • Deep copy creates a new object with its own copy of the data

    • Shallow copy creates a reference to the original object

    • Deep copy is safer but can be slower and consume more memory

    • Shallow copy is faster but can lead to unexpected behav

  • Q4. What is pre initialization ?
  • Ans. 

    Pre initialization refers to the process of initializing variables or objects before they are used in a program.

    • Pre initialization helps avoid errors or unexpected behavior caused by using uninitialized variables.

    • It is a good practice to pre initialize variables with default values.

    • Pre initialization can be done using constructors, default values, or initialization blocks.

    • Example: int count = 0; initializes the variabl

  • Q6. Copy constructor?
  • Q7. Different types of polymorphism, the diamond problem, and how can it be avoided?
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism refers to the ability of an object to take on many forms. The diamond problem occurs in multiple inheritance.

    • Polymorphism can be achieved through method overloading and method overriding.

    • Method overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.

    • Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.

  • Q10. Write a program for an operator(=) such that it behaves differently for integer and character
  • Ans. 

    The program should differentiate between integers and characters when using the assignment operator (=).

    • Check the data type of the variable before assigning a value.

    • Use conditional statements to perform different actions based on the data type.

    • For integers, assign the value directly. For characters, convert the character to its ASCII value and assign it.

  • Q11. Given an array, sort the zeroes from non zeros for example Input: 1 2 0 0 7 4 42 0 0 0 6 Output: 1 2 7 4 42 6 0 0 0 0 0
  • Ans. 

    Sort an array by moving all zeroes to the end.

    • Iterate through the array and move all non-zero elements to the front.

    • Count the number of zeroes encountered and append them at the end of the array.

    • Use two pointers to swap elements and maintain the order.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q12. Class hierarchy, List the number of VTables created
  • Ans. 

    The number of VTables created in a class hierarchy depends on the number of virtual functions and the number of derived classes.

    • VTables are used in object-oriented programming languages to implement dynamic dispatch.

    • Each class with at least one virtual function has its own VTable.

    • Derived classes inherit the VTable of their base class and add their own entries for any additional virtual functions.

    • The total number of VTa...

  • Q13. When to use List and Vector of Standard Template Library ?
  • Ans. 

    List is preferred when frequent insertion and deletion is required. Vector is preferred when random access is required.

    • List is implemented as a doubly-linked list, allowing for efficient insertion and deletion at any position.

    • Vector is implemented as a dynamic array, allowing for efficient random access.

    • Use List when the number of elements is expected to change frequently and the order of elements matters less.
