  • Answered by AI
  • Q12. Private vs final keyword in considerance with member functions in an application offered to the user
  • Ans. 

    Private keyword restricts access to member functions within the class while final keyword prevents overriding of functions.

    • Private keyword is used to hide the implementation details of a class from the user.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test had 50 questions which were to be answered in 50 minutes. The test is not very difficult if you got basic skills in aptitude, but the most important thing is managing time. The level of difficulty was moderate.
Tips: Do not waste time on verbal questions which have a direct answer ( synonyms and antonyms) which you are not very sure of.
Just try making a smart guess when you have a doubt by elimination or something.
Duration: 50 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I wouldn't say it went great but it was fine. I did not think I would clear it as for most of the questions the interviewer seemed disappointed and wanted more out of me.
Tips: Keep smiling.
Only put things which you are thorough about, in your resume.
The interviewer too doesn't know everything, so just be confident in whatever you say-the interviewer might get convinced.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer was really cool. He realized that I mostly work on java applications so he chose to ask me stuff related to that.
He didn't want me to know the answer well but just wanted me to approach to it, maybe think more.
He went through my resume back and forth and asked mostly about all my projects and their logic and how could I take them to the next level.
Tips: Be confident.
Its okay not to know any answer, just try giving it a shot in the approach.

Skills: Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Basics, Basics Of Machine Learning, Ability To Analyse, Ability To Think Of Creative Solutions, Ability To Think Beyond Boundaries, Ability To Convince, Database Management, Java Programming
College Name: Amrita School Of Engineering, Coimbatore
Funny Moments: I had mentioned Japanese as languages known in my resume. During the HR interview , I was asked to tell "How are you ?" in Japanese. I knew that the interviewer didn't know any of that language but I was a little scared to just tell anything.
You could try giving a shot in a similar situation :P
