Network layers are a hierarchical way of organizing communication protocols.

• Network layers provide a modular approach to networking.

• Each layer has a specific function and communicates with adjacent layers.

• The OSI model has 7 layers, while the TCP/IP model has 4 layers.

• Examples of layers include the physical layer, data link layer, network layer, transport layer, and application layer.

Deadlock is a situation where two or more processes are unable to proceed because they are waiting for each other to release resources.

• Occurs in multi-threaded/multi-process environments

• Can lead to system freeze or crash

• Prevention techniques include resource ordering and timeouts

• Example: Process A holds resource X and waits for resource Y, while Process B holds resource Y and waits for resource X

Paging and Segmentation are memory management techniques used by operating systems.

• Paging divides memory into fixed-size pages and stores them in physical memory.

• Segmentation divides memory into logical segments and stores them in physical memory.

• Paging allows for efficient use of physical memory and reduces fragmentation.

• Segmentation allows for protection and sharing of memory between processes.

• Examples of operating s...read more

Method overloading is having multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Method overriding is having a subclass method with the same name and parameters as a superclass method.

• Method overloading is used to provide different ways of calling the same method with different parameters.

• Method overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method in a subclass that is already defined in the su...read more

Switch case is used for multiple conditions while if else is used for binary conditions.

• Switch case is faster than if else for multiple conditions.

• Switch case can only compare values of the same data type.

• If else can handle null values while switch case cannot.

• Example: switch (day) { case 1: console.log('Monday'); break; case 2: console.log('Tuesday'); brea...read more

Interface and abstract class are both used for abstraction in object-oriented programming.

• An interface is a collection of abstract methods that define a contract for a class to implement.

• An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and may contain abstract methods.

• Interfaces are used to achieve multiple inheritance in Java.

• Abstract classes can have non-abstract methods and instance variables.

• An example of a...read more

Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms.

• It allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were objects of the same class.

• It is achieved through method overriding and method overloading.

• Example: A shape class can have multiple subclasses like circle, square, etc. and all can be treated as shapes.

• Example: A method can have different implementations in different classes but with the sa

Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming where a new class is created by inheriting properties of an existing class.

• Inheritance allows code reusability and saves time and effort in writing new code.

• The existing class is called the parent or base class, and the new class is called the child or derived class.

• The child class inherits all the properties and methods of the parent class and can also add its ...read more

Default case in switch case statement

• Default case is executed when no other case matches the switch expression

• It is optional and can be placed anywhere in the switch statement

• It is often used to handle unexpected input or errors

• It should always be the last case in the switch statement
