Q. What is inheritance?
Ans. 

Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming that allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.

  • Inheritance promotes code reusability by allowing new classes to use existing class functionality.

  • In programming languages like Java, a class can extend another class using the 'extends' keyword.

  • Example: If 'Animal' is a class, 'Dog' can inherit from 'Animal', gaining its pro...

Q. Aptitiude Questions

In one box there are 12 red and 12 green balls and in another box there are 24 res and 24 green balls.
You have two balls choose from each of the box with replacement such that they have t...

Ans. 

The box with 12 red and 12 green balls has a better probability.

  • The probability of selecting two balls of the same color from the first box is higher due to the equal number of red and green balls.

  • In the second box, with 24 red and 24 green balls, the probability of selecting two balls of the same color is lower.

  • Therefore, the box with 12 red and 12 green balls has a better probability.

Input:

...
Ans. 

Calculate the Nth Fibonacci number efficiently using dynamic programming.

  • Use dynamic programming to store previously calculated Fibonacci numbers to avoid redundant calculations.

  • Start with base cases F(1) and F(2) as 1, then iterate to calculate subsequent Fibonacci numbers.

  • Time complexity can be optimized to O(N) using dynamic programming.

  • Example: For N = 5, the 5th Fibonacci number is 5.

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
