Q6. What is Object Oriented Programming?
Ans. 
Object Oriented Programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data in the form of fields and code in the form of procedures.
• OOP focuses on creating objects that interact with each other to solve problems.

• Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are key principles of OOP.

• Classes are used to create objects, which can have attributes (fields) and methods (functions).

Q7. What are 4 pillars of OOP?
Ans. 
Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction
• Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit

Q9. What is Structured Query Language?
Ans. 
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard language for managing and manipulating databases.
• SQL is used to communicate with databases to perform tasks such as querying data, updating data, and creating databases.

• It is a declarative language, meaning users specify what they want to retrieve or modify without needing to specify how to do it.

• Common SQL commands include SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, and DROP.

• S...read more

Q12. What is union? What is intersection?
Ans. 
Union and intersection are set operations in mathematics.
• Union of two sets includes all unique elements from both sets

• Intersection of two sets includes only elements that are common to both sets

• Example: Set A = {1, 2, 3} and Set B = {3, 4, 5}, Union of A and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, Intersection of A and B = {3}

Q13. What is normalization ?
Ans. 
Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
• Normalization involves breaking down data into smaller, more manageable tables

• It helps in reducing data redundancy by storing data in a structured way

• Normalization ensures data integrity by avoiding update anomalies

• There are different normal forms like 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, and BCNF

• Example: A customer table and an ord...read more

Q14. How many forms of normalization are there?
Ans. 
There are three forms of normalization in database design: 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF.
• 1NF (First Normal Form) - Ensures that each column in a table contains atomic values. No repeating groups of columns are allowed.

• 2NF (Second Normal Form) - Requires that the table is in 1NF and all non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key.

• 3NF (Third Normal Form) - Builds on 2NF by ensuring that there are no transiti

Q15. What is 1NF? (First Normal Form)
Ans. 
1NF is the first step in database normalization where each column in a table contains only atomic values.
• Each column in a table must contain only a single value

• Values in a column must be of the same data type

• Each column must have a unique name

• Example: A table with columns for student ID, name, and address

Q16. What is 2NF? (Second Normal Form)
Ans. 
2NF is a database normalization form that ensures non-prime attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.
• In 2NF, a table is in 1NF and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

• It eliminates partial dependencies by moving non-prime attributes to a separate table.

• For example, if we have a table with columns {Student ID, Course, Instructor}, where Course depends on Stude...read more

Q17. How do we remove partial-dependency in 2NF?
Ans. 
Partial dependency in 2NF can be removed by splitting the table into two separate tables.
• Identify the attributes causing partial dependency in the table.

• Create a new table with the partially dependent attributes along with the determinant attribute.

• Link the new table to the original table using a foreign key.

• Ensure each table now satisfies 2NF independently.

Q18. What is 3NF? (3rd Normal Form)
Ans. 
3NF is a database normalization technique that ensures data is stored in a table with no transitive dependencies.
• Each non-prime attribute is non-transitively dependent on every super key.

• Every non-prime attribute is fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

• Helps in reducing data redundancy and improving data integrity.

• Example: If a table has columns A, B, and C where B is functionally dependent on A, and C is fu...read more

Q19. What are character functions?
Ans. 
Character functions are functions in programming that manipulate individual characters within a string.
• Character functions can be used to convert characters to uppercase or lowercase.

• They can also be used to check if a character is a digit or a letter.

• Examples include functions like toupper(), tolower(), isdigit(), isalpha().

• Two number functions include addition and subtraction.

• Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to get a total.

• Subtraction is the process of taking one number away from another to find the difference.
