- Q7. Explain about Oops concept
- Ans.
OOPs is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects that interact with each other.
OOPs stands for Object-Oriented Programming.
It focuses on creating objects that have properties and methods.
Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism are the three main pillars of OOPs.
Encapsulation is the process of hiding the implementation details of an object from the outside world.
Inheritance allows a class to inherit p...
- Q8. Why we use class explain with example
- Ans.
Classes are used in object-oriented programming to define a blueprint for creating objects.
Classes provide encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
They help organize code and make it more reusable.

Choosing the right data structure for a particular problem can greatly improve the efficiency of a program.
Data structures can be implem...
- Q13. Difference between list and tuple
- Ans.
List is mutable while tuple is immutable in Python.
List can be modified while tuple cannot be modified.
List uses square brackets [] while tuple uses parentheses ().
List is slower than tuple in terms of performance.
List is used for collections of data while tuple is used for grouping related data.
Example of list: [1, 2, 3] and example of tuple: (1, 2, 3).
- Q14. How to convert dictionary into list
- Ans.
Convert dictionary to list in Python
Use the items() method to get key-value pairs as tuples
Convert the tuples to a list using list()

They can be combined or compared easily.
Examples include a set of integers, a group of apples, or a collection of red flowers.
- Q16. What is an array
- Ans.
An array is a collection of similar data types stored in contiguous memory locations.
Arrays can be of any data type, such as integers, floats, characters, etc.
Arrays are accessed using an index, starting from 0.
Arrays can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or multi-dimensional.
Example: string[] names = {"John", "Jane", "Bob"};
Example: int[] numbers = new int[5];
- Q17. How many times we use for loop in single program
- Ans.
The number of times a for loop is used in a program varies depending on the program's requirements.
The number of for loops used in a program depends on the program's logic and requirements.

You are given a string 'STR'. Your task is to determine the total number of palindromic substrings present in 'STR'.
Example:
Input:
"abbc"
Output:
5
Explana...
- Ans.
Count the total number of palindromic substrings in a given string.
Iterate through each character in the string and expand around it to find palindromic substrings.
Use dynamic programming to store the results of subproblems to avoid redundant calculations.
Consider both odd-length and even-length palindromes while counting.
Example: For input 'abbc', the palindromic substrings are ['a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'bb'], totaling 5.
- Q2.
Pythagorean Triplets Detection

- Ans.
The problem involves printing the spiral order of a given N x M matrix of integers.
Iterate through the matrix in a spiral order by keeping track of the boundaries.
Print the elements in the order of top row, right column, bottom row, and left column.
Continue this process until all elements are printed in the spiral order.
- Q3. How can you print numbers from 1 to 100 using more than two threads in an optimized approach?
- Ans.
Use multiple threads to print numbers from 1 to 100 in an optimized approach.
Divide the range of numbers (1-100) among the threads for parallel processing.
Use synchronization mechanisms like mutex or semaphore to ensure proper order of printing.
Implement a loop in each thread to print their assigned numbers.
Example: Thread 1 prints 1-25, Thread 2 prints 26-50, and so on.
Ensure proper termination of threads after printi
- Q4. What is the difference between a process and a program?
- Ans.
A program is a set of instructions to perform a specific task, while a process is an instance of a program in execution.
Program is a static entity stored on disk, while process is a dynamic entity in memory.
Program is passive, while process is active and can interact with other processes.
Multiple processes can run the same program simultaneously.
Example: Notepad.exe is a program, while when you open Notepad, it becomes
- Q5. What is the difference between a process and a thread?
- Ans.
A process is an instance of a program running on a computer, while a thread is a smaller unit of a process that can execute independently.
A process has its own memory space, while threads share the same memory space within a process.
Processes are heavyweight, requiring separate memory and resources, while threads are lightweight and share resources.
Processes communicate with each other through inter-process communicati...

If the character is not a vowel, add it to the modified string.
Return the modified string after processing all characters.
- Q2. What is the main difference between UNION and UNION ALL?
- Ans.
UNION combines result sets from two or more SELECT statements, while UNION ALL includes all rows, including duplicates.
UNION removes duplicate rows, while UNION ALL does not
UNION is slower than UNION ALL as it performs a distinct operation
UNION requires the same number of columns in the SELECT statements being combined
- Q3. How many types of memory areas are allocated by the JVM?
- Ans.
The JVM allocates 5 types of memory areas: Method Area, Heap, Stack, PC Register, and Native Method Stack.
Method Area stores class structures, method data, and runtime constant pool.
Heap is where objects are allocated and memory for instance variables is stored.
Stack stores local variables and partial results, and plays a role in method invocation and return.
PC Register holds the address of the JVM instruction currentl...
