I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed before Feb 2023. There was 1 interview round.
(5 Questions)
- Q1. Java oops concepts , Java memory model , Java, lambda expressions example
- Q2. What are the oops concepts
- Ans.
Object-oriented programming concepts that help in organizing and designing code for reusability and maintainability.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit (class).
Inheritance: Allowing a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.
Polymorphism: Ability of objects to take on multiple forms or types.
Abstraction: Hiding the implementation details and showing on
- Q3. What is stream api
- Ans.
Stream API is a feature in Java that allows processing collections of objects in a functional style.
Stream API provides a way to perform operations on collections like filter, map, reduce, etc.
It supports functional programming paradigms like lambda expressions.
Example: List
names = Arrays.asList("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"); Stream stream = names.stream();
- Q4. What is lambda expressions
- Ans.
Lambda expressions are anonymous functions that allow you to pass behavior as an argument to a method.
Lambda expressions are used to provide a concise way to represent behavior as data.
They are commonly used in functional programming and can be used to implement functional interfaces.
Lambda expressions can be used to iterate through collections using the forEach method.
- Q5. What Java memory model
- Ans.
The Java memory model defines how threads interact through memory when accessing shared data.
Defines the rules for reading and writing to shared variables in a multithreaded environment
Ensures visibility of changes made by one thread to other threads
Specifies the order in which operations are executed and how they are synchronized

Interview Questionnaire
4 Questions
- Q1. 1. What are the Java 8 Features you've worked with?
- Ans.
Java 8 introduced several new features including lambda expressions, functional interfaces, and streams.
Lambda expressions allow for more concise and functional programming style.
Functional interfaces enable the use of lambda expressions.
Streams provide a powerful way to process collections of data in a functional manner.
Default methods in interfaces allow for adding new methods to existing interfaces without breaking ...
- Q2. How will you handle an out-of-memory exception?
- Ans.
Handle out-of-memory exception by analyzing heap dump and optimizing code.
Analyze heap dump to identify memory leaks
Optimize code to reduce memory usage
Increase heap size if necessary
Use memory profiling tools like JProfiler or VisualVM
Avoid creating unnecessary objects
Use caching to reduce object creation
Implement garbage collection strategies
- Q3. Difference between shallow and deep comparision in Strings with code example.
- Ans.
Shallow and deep comparison in Strings with code example
Shallow comparison checks if two String variables refer to the same object in memory
Deep comparison checks if two String variables have the same sequence of characters
Shallow comparison can be done using the '==' operator
Deep comparison can be done using the 'equals()' method
Example: String str1 = 'hello'; String str2 = 'hello'; str1 == str2; //shallow comparison ...
- Q4. Flow of a String Boot Application
- Ans.
A Spring Boot application follows a predefined flow of execution.
Application starts with main() method
Spring Application Context is initialized
Beans are created and dependencies are injected
Application starts serving requests
Requests are handled by Controllers and Services
Responses are returned to the client

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW: (pls list the questions asked in all the rounds)
26 shortlisted after apti (14 directly for interviews & 12 had one more technical on paper test...mentioned above)
der wer min 2 technical rounds for each of them...max were 5
- You are given course dependencies
A->B,C
B->D
C->A
D->nothing
The above dependencies mean...if you want to take course A...you should take courses B and C first....To take B,Course D must be taken first....D is an independent course and can be taken without any prior requirements.
Now you are told these dependencies.Come up with an appropriate data structure to represent these dependencies.Then write a code that finds out all the courses that the student can take up...in this case the student can first take course D because its independent.Now that course D has been taken he can next take up B as it depends on B alone...But the courses A and C can never be taken because they depend on each other...So here all the courses that can be taken are B and D.
After i wrote the code....he asked for all possible test cases
-Given an array of length N....It can be filled with nos. only from 1 to N....find which nos are repeated in the array
-Given pointers to two nodes in a binary tree....find their least common ancestor...each node has pointer to only the parent node...not the left and right child..
-In a binary tree(Not necessarily a BST)...suppose the weight of any node is defined as the product of the key value of the node and the level of the node(Root at level 1)...find the node with maximum weight in the binary tree
-A sorted array of size n is right circularly rotated k times and this rotated array is given to you as input...Find out the value of k in log n time .
-There are some processes running at time T....and there are processes running at time T+30.
You have to find out
1)Which processes died at time T+30,which were alive at time T
2)Which are the new processes at time T+30,which were not there at time T
3)Which are the processes that were there at time T and are still running at time T+30
What data structure will you use to represent the process lists and write code to find out the answers to the 3 questions above
-Given a binary search tree...and a target sum...starting at the root...which all paths add up to the target sum?...if there are multiple paths....return the path with least no. of nodes.

- Q1. Can string class be extended
- Ans.
Yes, the string class can be extended in most programming languages.
Inheritance can be used to extend the functionality of the string class.
By creating a new class that inherits from the string class, additional methods and properties can be added.
Extending the string class allows for customization and adding specific functionality to strings.
Example: In Python, the string class can be extended by creating a new class

For example, the request object allows access to HTTP request parame...
- Q3. How does hash map works
- Ans.
A hash map is a data structure that uses a hash function to map keys to values.
Hash map stores key-value pairs
It uses a hash function to compute an index for each key
Collisions can occur when two keys hash to the same index
Hash maps provide fast access to values based on their keys
- Q4. Difference between string buffer and string builder
- Ans.
StringBuffer and StringBuilder are both used to manipulate strings, but StringBuffer is thread-safe while StringBuilder is not.
StringBuffer is synchronized, making it safe for use in multi-threaded environments.
StringBuilder is not synchronized, making it faster but not thread-safe.
StringBuffer is preferred when multiple threads are involved, while StringBuilder is preferred for single-threaded scenarios.
Both classes p...
- Q5. What is MVC
- Ans.
MVC is a software architectural pattern that separates an application into three main components: Model, View, and Controller.
Model represents the data and business logic of the application.
View is responsible for displaying the user interface.
Controller handles user input, updates the model, and interacts with the view.
MVC promotes separation of concerns and modularity in software development.

It was in the day time. I was asked the programming language of my choice. It was mostly focused on programming fundamentals. I was asked 2 questions based on Data Structures and Algorithms.
- Q1. How can you detect a loop in a linked list?
- Ans.
A loop in a linked list can be detected using Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.
Use two pointers - slow and fast, where slow moves one step at a time and fast moves two steps at a time.
If there is a loop, the two pointers will eventually meet at some point within the loop.
To detect the start of the loop, reset one pointer to the head and move both pointers one step at a time until they meet again.
