  • Q1. Transactions in springboot
  • Ans. 

    Transactions in Spring Boot manage database operations as a single unit of work to ensure data integrity.

    • Spring Boot provides support for declarative transaction management using @Transactional annotation.

    • Transactions can be configured at class or method level.

    • Transactions can be rolled back in case of exceptions to maintain data consistency.

    • Example: @Transactional annotation on a service method ensures that all databa...

  • Q2. Difference between arraylist and linked list
  • Ans. 

    ArrayList is resizable array implementation, LinkedList is doubly linked list implementation.

    • ArrayList uses dynamic array to store elements, LinkedList uses doubly linked list.

    • ArrayList is faster for accessing elements by index, LinkedList is faster for adding/removing elements.

    • Example: ArrayList arrList = new ArrayList<>(); LinkedList linkedList = new LinkedList<>();

  • Q3. How REST API used
  • Ans. 

    REST API is used to communicate between client and server using HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.

    • REST API allows clients to access and manipulate resources on a server using standard HTTP methods.

    • It uses URLs to identify resources and HTTP methods to perform actions on those resources.

    • Common HTTP methods used in REST API are GET (retrieve data), POST (create data), PUT (update data), DELETE (remove data).

  • Q4. Annotations in springboot
  • Ans. 

    Annotations in Spring Boot are used to provide metadata about the application and its components.

    • Examples include @SpringBootApplication, @RestController, @Autowired, @RequestMapping, etc.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Features of java 8
  • Ans. 

    Java 8 introduced several new features including lambda expressions, functional interfaces, streams, and default methods in interfaces.

    • Lambda expressions allow for more concise code and enable functional programming.

    • Functional interfaces are interfaces with a single abstract method, used for lambda expressions.

    • Streams provide a way to work with collections of objects in a functional style.

    • Default methods in interfaces ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. How interface is implemented in java
  • Ans. 

    Interfaces in Java are implemented using the 'implements' keyword, allowing classes to provide specific implementations for methods defined in the interface.

    • Interfaces in Java define a contract for classes to implement, specifying method signatures without implementations.

    • A class can implement multiple interfaces by separating them with commas.

    • Classes implementing an interface must provide concrete implementations for ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. How stream API works
  • Ans. 

    Stream API in Java provides a way to process collections of objects in a functional style.

    • Stream API allows for functional-style operations on collections like map, filter, reduce, etc.

    • It supports lazy evaluation, meaning operations are only performed when needed.

    • Streams can be sequential or parallel, depending on the source and operations used.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q8. Benefits of springboot over spring
  • Ans. 

    Spring Boot simplifies the setup and development of Spring applications by providing a convention-over-configuration approach.

    • Spring Boot eliminates the need for XML configuration by using annotations and sensible defaults.

    • It includes embedded servers like Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow, making it easy to deploy standalone applications.

    • Auto-configuration feature reduces the amount of boilerplate code needed to set up a Spr...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q9. Difference between throw and throwable
  • Ans. 

    throw is a keyword used to explicitly throw an exception, while Throwable is a class that serves as the base class for all exceptions in Java.

    • throw is used to throw an exception in a method, while Throwable is the superclass of all exceptions in Java.

    • throw is followed by an instance of Throwable class or its subclasses, while Throwable is a class that provides common methods for handling exceptions.

    • Example: throw new N...

  • Q1. What is autoboxing and unboxing
  • Ans. 

    Autoboxing is the automatic conversion of primitive data types to their corresponding object wrapper classes.

    • Autoboxing is useful when working with collections that require objects instead of primitives.

    • Example: int i = 5; Integer j = i; //autoboxing

    • Unboxing is the opposite of autoboxing, where an object of a wrapper class is converted back to its corresponding primitive type.

    • Example: Integer j = 5; int i = j; //unboxi

  • Q2. What is typecasting UP AND DOWN
  • Ans. 

    Typecasting up and down refers to converting a variable of one data type to another data type of higher or lower precision.

    • Typecasting up involves converting a variable of lower precision to a variable of higher precision, such as converting an int to a double.

    • Typecasting down involves converting a variable of higher precision to a variable of lower precision, such as converting a double to an int.

    • Use the entrySet() method to get a set of key-value pairs

    • For-each loop: for(Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet())

    • Iterator: Iterator> iterator = map.entrySet().iterator();

    • Use hasNext() and next() methods to iterate through the map

  • Q1. 

    Nth Fibonacci Number Problem Statement

    Calculate the Nth term in the Fibonacci sequence, where the sequence is defined as follows: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), with initial conditions F(1) = F(2) = 1.

    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 iteratively calculate F(n) using F(n-1) and F(n-2).

    • Ensure the input N is within the constraints 1 <= N <= 10000.

    • Example: For N = 5, the 5th Fibonacci number is 5 (1, 1, 2, 3, 5).

  • Ans. 

    Implement a function to return all prime numbers less than or equal to a given positive integer N.

    • Create a function that takes a positive integer N as input

  • Q3. What is a merge join in SQL?
  • Ans. 

    A merge join in SQL is a method of combining two sorted datasets by matching corresponding rows based on a specified condition.

    • Merge join is used when joining two large datasets that are already sorted.

    • It is more efficient than other join methods like nested loop join or hash join for sorted datasets.

    • The join condition must be an equality condition.

    • Example: SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.i
