Q2. What are the Java features?
Ans. 
Java features include object-oriented programming, platform independence, automatic memory management, and multithreading.
• Object-oriented programming: Java supports classes and objects, allowing for modular and reusable code.

• Platform independence: Java programs can run on any platform with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

• Automatic memory management: Java uses garbage collection to automatically manage memory allocation ...read more

Q1. Variation of Minimum number of platforms required for railway station.
Ans. 
Minimum number of platforms required for a railway station depends on the maximum number of trains arriving and departing at the same time.
• Calculate the maximum number of trains arriving and departing at the same time.

• Determine the time intervals for each train's arrival and departure.

• Add extra platforms for buffer and unexpected delays.

• Consider factors like train length, frequency, and scheduling conflicts.

Q1. Implement a simple program using multithreading.
Ans. 
A simple program using multithreading can be implemented to demonstrate parallel execution of tasks.
• Create a class that implements the Runnable interface in Java.

• Override the run() method to define the task that will run in a separate thread.

• Create instances of the class and start them using the Thread class.

• Use synchronization mechanisms like locks or semaphores to manage shared resources in a thread-safe manner.

Q2. Nlonn run time of the sort
Ans. 
The time complexity of the quicksort algorithm is O(n log n).
• Quicksort has an average time complexity of O(n log n).

• The best case time complexity of quicksort is O(n log n) when the pivot element divides the array into two equal halves.

• The worst case time complexity of quicksort is O(n^2) when the pivot element is the smallest or largest element in the array.
