Q2. How can deadlock be avoided?
Ans. 
Deadlock can be avoided by implementing proper resource allocation strategies and using techniques like deadlock prevention, avoidance, detection, and recovery.
• Implement proper resource allocation strategies such as resource ordering, wait-die, wound-wait, etc.

Q1. What is linked list? How it is stored in memory? Give real examples of linked-list.
Ans. 
A linked list is a data structure where each element points to the next element in the sequence.
• Linked list is stored in memory as nodes, where each node contains data and a reference to the next node.

• Examples of linked-list include a singly linked list, doubly linked list, and circular linked list.

• In a singly linked list, each node points to the next node. In a doubly linked list, each node points to both the next and...read more

Q2. How does ML models are built?
Ans. 
ML models are built by collecting and preparing data, selecting a model, training the model on the data, and evaluating its performance.
• Collect and prepare data by cleaning, transforming, and encoding it

• Select a model based on the problem at hand (e.g. regression, classification, clustering)

• Train the model using algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, or neural networks

• Evaluate the model's performance using ...read more

Q3. Difference between array and linked list.
Ans. 
Arrays store elements in contiguous memory locations, while linked lists store elements in nodes with pointers to the next node.
• Arrays have fixed size, while linked lists can dynamically grow or shrink.

• Accessing elements in arrays is faster (O(1)), while accessing elements in linked lists is slower (O(n)).

• Inserting or deleting elements in arrays can be inefficient, as it may require shifting elements, while in linked l...read more

Q1. Given string s, return string y which stores first occurrence of characters of s .
Ans. 
Return a string containing the first occurrence of characters in the input string.
• Create an empty string to store the result.

• Iterate through each character in the input string.

• If the character is not already in the result string, add it to the result string.

• Return the result string.

Q2. Describe the hardest DSA questions you have ever done.
Ans. 
One of the hardest DSA questions I have done involved implementing a complex graph traversal algorithm.
• The question required understanding of graph data structures and algorithms.

• I had to implement a depth-first search or breadth-first search algorithm.

• The question may have involved finding the shortest path in a weighted graph.

• I had to consider edge cases and optimize the algorithm for efficiency.
