Multi tasking, multi processing, and multi programming are different approaches to managing tasks in an operating system.
Multi tasking allows multiple tasks to run concurrently on a single processor.
Multi processing involves multiple processors running tasks simultaneously.
Multi programming allows multiple programs to be loaded into memory and executed concurrently.
Examples of multi tasking operating systems include Wi...
Memory allocation refers to the process of assigning memory to programs during runtime.
Stack allocation is done automatically and is limited in size.
Heap allocation is done manually and is larger in size.
Stack memory is used for local variables and function calls.
Heap memory is used for dynamic memory allocation.
Memory leaks can occur if heap memory is not properly managed.
Use a shared variable and synchronization mechanisms to ensure natural order printing of numbers.
Create two threads, one for printing even numbers and the other for printing odd numbers.
Use a shared variable to keep track of the current number to be printed.
Implement synchronization mechanisms like locks or semaphores to ensure only one thread can access the shared variable at a time.
Each thread should check if it is i...
Printing a matrix in spiral order
Start from the first element and print it
Move in a spiral order towards the center of the matrix
Repeat until all elements are printed
Thread class and Runnable Interface are used for multithreading in Java.
Thread class is a predefined class in Java that provides methods to create and control threads.
Runnable interface is used to define a task that can be executed by a thread.
Thread class implements Runnable interface.
Thread class provides more control over threads than Runnable interface.
Example: Thread t = new Thread(new MyRunnable()); t.start();
Exa...
Linked List is a dynamic data structure while ArrayList is a static data structure.
Linked List is best for frequent insertion and deletion operations.
ArrayList is best for frequent access operations.
Linked List uses more memory than ArrayList.
ArrayList is faster than Linked List for accessing elements.
Use Linked List when you need to frequently add or remove elements from the list.
Use ArrayList when you need to frequen

I was interviewed in May 2017.
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
Implicit objects in JSP are predefined objects that are available for use without any declaration or initialization.
Implicit objects in JSP include request, response, session, application, out, config, pageContext, page, exception, and others.
These objects provide access to various aspects of the JSP environment and can be used to perform common tasks.
For example, the request object allows access to HTTP request parame...
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
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...
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.
Example: In a web applica...

Code for rand7 using rand5 function
Use rand5 twice to generate a number in [1,25] with equal probability
If the number is greater than 21, discard and try again
Otherwise, return (number mod 7) + 1
LRU cache is implemented using a doubly linked list and a hash map.
Create a doubly linked list to keep track of the order of elements in the cache.
Create a hash map to store the key-value pairs of the cache.
When a new element is added, check if the cache is full. If it is, remove the least recently used element from the linked list and the hash map.
When an element is accessed, move it to the front of the linked list to...

I was interviewed in Dec 2016.
Implement LRU cache
LRU stands for Least Recently Used
It is a cache eviction policy that removes the least recently used item
It can be implemented using a doubly linked list and a hash map
Newly accessed items are moved to the front of the list
When the cache is full, the item at the end of the list is removed
Virtual memory is a memory management technique that allows a computer to use more memory than it physically has.
Virtual memory uses a combination of RAM and hard disk space to store data.
It allows programs to use more memory than is physically available.
If a program tries to access memory that is not currently in RAM, it will be swapped in from the hard disk.
Even if we had infinite RAM, virtual memory would still be n...
