Q2. Check if the sentence is palindrome or not
Ans. 
To check if a sentence is a palindrome, compare it with its reverse form.
• Remove all non-alphanumeric characters and convert the sentence to lowercase.

• Reverse the sentence and compare it with the original sentence to check for palindrome.

• Example: 'A man, a plan, a canal, Panama' becomes 'amanaplanacanalpanama' after removing non-alphanumeric characters and converting to lowercase.

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.
