Q1. Threading: Write and use a mutex?
Ans. 
A mutex is a synchronization primitive that ensures only one thread can access a resource at a time.
• Create a mutex object using the appropriate library or language-specific function.

• Lock the mutex before accessing the shared resource to prevent other threads from accessing it.

• Unlock the mutex after finishing the operation on the shared resource to allow other threads to access it.

• Example: pthread_mutex_t mutex; pthread...read more

Q1. How to check a number is power of 2
Ans. 
To check if a number is a power of 2, we can use bitwise operations.
• A power of 2 has only one bit set to 1, so we can use the bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.

• If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.

• For example, 8 (1000 in binary) is a power of 2, and 8 & 7 (0111 in binary) is 0.

Q1. What is a pointer to pointer
Ans. 
A pointer to pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another pointer variable.
• It is used to create dynamic data structures like linked lists and trees.

• It is denoted by ** in C and C++.

• Example: int **ptr;

• Example: ptr = &p; where p is a pointer variable.
