Q2. How to serialize and deserialise a tree
Ans. 
To serialize and deserialize a tree, use a recursive approach to traverse the tree and store the data in a suitable format.
• Use pre-order traversal to serialize the tree by storing the node values in a list or string.

• For deserialization, reconstruct the tree by recursively building nodes from the serialized data.

• Consider using JSON or XML format for serialization to easily store and retrieve tree structure.

Q2. Write a short promise example and implement your own promise
Ans. 
A promise is a commitment to do something in the future, typically used for asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

Q3. Explain event loop, what are different types of queues in event loop
Ans. 
Event loop is a mechanism that allows for asynchronous execution of code by managing the order of events in a single thread.
• Event loop continuously checks the call stack for any functions that need to be executed, and processes them in a non-blocking manner.

• Different types of queues in event loop include microtask queue (Promise callbacks), macrotask queue (setTimeout, setInterval callbacks), and animation frame queue

Q4. What is virtual DOM and why its faster
Ans. 
Virtual DOM is a lightweight copy of the actual DOM, used to improve performance by minimizing direct manipulation of the real DOM.
• Virtual DOM is a concept used in frameworks like React to optimize rendering performance.

• Changes are first made to the virtual DOM, which is then compared to the real DOM to identify the minimal updates needed.

• This approach reduces the number of actual DOM manipulations, resulting in faster...read more

Q1. What is BDD and TDD
Ans. 
BDD stands for Behavior Driven Development and TDD stands for Test Driven Development.

Q4. Why HashSet has default size 16
Ans. 
HashSet default size 16 for performance balance between memory usage and lookup time.
• Default size 16 provides a good balance between memory usage and lookup time.

• Choosing a power of 2 size helps in distributing elements evenly across buckets.

• Resizing the HashSet is expensive, so starting with a larger size reduces the need for resizing.

• Example: If the default size was too small, it would lead to more collisions and deg
