- Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
- Ans.
To find a loop in a linked list, we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.
Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.
If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.
To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.
The meeting point is the start of the loop.
- Q2. What is LRU, MRU and LFU
- Ans.
LRU, MRU and LFU are caching algorithms used to manage memory in computer systems.
LRU stands for Least Recently Used and removes the least recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
MRU stands for Most Recently Used and removes the most recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
LFU stands for Least Frequently Used and removes the least frequently used items from the cache when the cache i...

- Q3. What is the difference in C++ between 'new int[5]' and 'malloc(5 * sizeof(int))'?
- Ans.
new int[5] is C++ specific and initializes the array with default values, while malloc(5 * sizeof(int)) is a C function and does not initialize the array.
new int[5] is C++ specific and calls constructors for each element in the array.
malloc(5 * sizeof(int)) is a C function and does not call constructors, leaving the array uninitialized.

- Q6. What is an arraylist in Java?
- Ans.
An ArrayList is a dynamic array in Java that can grow or shrink in size during runtime.
ArrayList is a class in Java's Collection framework.
It implements the List interface and allows duplicate elements.
Elements can be added or removed using methods like add(), remove(), etc.
It can also be sorted using the sort() method.
Example: ArrayList
names = new ArrayList<>(); names.add("John"); names.add("Mary"); names.remove(0);
- Q7. What is the difference between an arraylist and a linkedlist in Java?
- Ans.
ArrayList is a resizable array while LinkedList is a doubly linked list.
ArrayList is faster for accessing elements while LinkedList is faster for adding or removing elements.
ArrayList uses contiguous memory while LinkedList uses non-contiguous memory.
ArrayList is better for random access while LinkedList is better for sequential access.
Example: ArrayList - List
names = new ArrayList<>(); LinkedList - List names = new L
- Q8. “Java is not a pure OO language”. Justify (the answer expected was that the primitive types are not objects in Java!)
- Ans.
Java is not a pure OO language due to primitive types not being objects.
Primitive types like int, boolean, etc. are not objects in Java
They do not have methods or inheritance like objects do
This violates the principle of everything being an object in pure OO languages
Wrapper classes like Integer, Boolean, etc. were introduced to provide object-like behavior for primitives
- Q9. What is the difference between an object oriented and object based language?
- Ans.
Object-oriented languages support inheritance and polymorphism, while object-based languages do not.
Object-oriented languages allow for the creation of classes and objects, and support inheritance and polymorphism.
Object-based languages only support objects, but do not have the concept of classes or inheritance.
Examples of object-oriented languages include Java, C++, and Python, while JavaScript is an example of an obj
- Q10. Explain inheritance and abstraction with a concrete example
- Ans.
Inheritance is a way to create new classes based on existing ones. Abstraction is a way to hide implementation details.
