Multi tasking, multi processing, and multi programming are different approaches to managing tasks in an operating system.
Multi tasking allows multiple tasks to run concurrently on a single processor.
Multi processing involves multiple processors running tasks simultaneously.
Multi programming allows multiple programs to be loaded into memory and executed concurrently.
Examples of multi tasking operating systems include Wi...
Memory allocation refers to the process of assigning memory to programs during runtime.
Stack allocation is done automatically and is limited in size.
Heap allocation is done manually and is larger in size.
Stack memory is used for local variables and function calls.
Heap memory is used for dynamic memory allocation.
Memory leaks can occur if heap memory is not properly managed.
Use a shared variable and synchronization mechanisms to ensure natural order printing of numbers.
Create two threads, one for printing even numbers and the other for printing odd numbers.
Use a shared variable to keep track of the current number to be printed.
Implement synchronization mechanisms like locks or semaphores to ensure only one thread can access the shared variable at a time.
Each thread should check if it is i...

Start from the first element and print it
Move in a spiral order towards the center of the matrix
Repeat until all elements are printed
Thread class and Runnable Interface are used for multithreading in Java.
Thread class is a predefined class in Java that provides methods to create and control threads.
Runnable interface is used to define a task that can be executed by a thread.
Thread class implements Runnable interface.
Thread class provides more control over threads than Runnable interface.
Example: Thread t = new Thread(new MyRunnable()); t.start();

Count the occurrence of each word in a given string.
Split the string into words using spaces as delimiters.
Use a hashmap to store the count of each word.
Iterate through the words and update the count in the hashmap.
Output each unique word with its occurrence count.

Your task is to determine if two given strings are anagrams of each other. Two strings are considered anagrams if you can rearrange the letters of one string to form the...
Check if two strings are anagrams of each other by comparing their sorted characters.
Sort the characters of both strings and compare them.
Use a dictionary to count the frequency of characters in each string and compare the dictionaries.
Ensure both strings have the same length before proceeding with comparison.
Handle edge cases like empty strings or strings with different lengths.

Find the total number of palindromic substrings in a given string STR
.
"abbc"
5
The palindromic substrings are: ["a", "...
Count the total number of palindromic substrings in a given string.
Iterate through each character in the string and expand around it to find palindromic substrings.
Use dynamic programming to store previously calculated palindromic substrings.
Consider both odd and even length palindromes while counting.
Example: For input 'abbc', palindromic substrings are ['a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'bb']. Total count is 5.
To find the 4th highest salary from a table in a database, you can use a SQL query with the ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses.
Write a SQL query to select distinct salaries from the table in descending order.
Use the LIMIT clause to retrieve the 4th row from the sorted list.
The query would look like: SELECT DISTINCT salary FROM table_name ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 3, 1

For MCQ Round, we have 2 rounds:-
1. Logical Reasoning (Window of 4 hours)
2. Mathematical Reasoning(Window of 4 hours)
The environment was fine. They gave an option of attempting a mock test in order to familiarize us with the environment
Logical Reasoning, in which there were 12 questions, and for each question we had a time limit of 75 seconds. There was a cut-off of 40 for the next round, and people who qualified were sent an e-mail with a link to continue with the process.
Numerical Reasoning, in my opinion, was the most challenging round. The questions were in a pair of 3 in which a table/bank statement was given and 3 questions were based on that. The questions were purely based on calculations and semi-subjective. The time given for the 1st question was 90 seconds and for the rest 2 questions, 75 seconds each
For Coding Round,
120 minutes window(Test was of 90 minutes)
We have two questions
For the first question(30 Minutes)
For the second question(60 Minutes)
The tricky thing was we only had one attempt, i.e we were allowed to submit the solution only once.

The timing was around 1 pm and the whole interview went for about 40 minutes.
The interviewer first went through my resume and asked me to introduce myself. After my introduction, he asked me about my projects mentioned in the resume. In the introduction itself, I told him that I am interested in competitive programming and preparing for ICPC. He then asked me about my preparation for ICPC. He then asked me some questions from OOPS. I was then asked 1 simple CP problem. The interviewer also asked about situation-based problems. As I previously mentioned about Competitive Programming, he asked how this will help in adding value to the company.
