Overall Test Difficulty was Easy-Medium
System asked to choose one of the programming languages from C, C++ or Java. (Note: You can't change the language once confirmed!)
There were 7 different coding questions along with code. You just need to debug the code to get the correct output.
DSA: Graphs (Basics), Linked Lists, Conditional Statements, and Arrays (Stack and Queue)
Overall Difficulty was Medium (tbh, it depends on the practice you have done!)

HashMap is implemented using an array of buckets while TreeMap is implemented using a Red-Black Tree.
HashMap is preferred for frequent read operations while TreeMap is preferred for frequent write operations.
HashMap is uno...
- Q2. Can I write a try catch block inside a catch Block
- Ans.
Yes, it is possible to write a try catch block inside a catch block.
This is called nested try-catch block.
It is useful when we want to handle different types of exceptions in different ways.
Example: try { //code } catch (ExceptionType1 e1) { try { //code } catch (ExceptionType2 e2) { //code } } }
It is important to avoid excessive nesting as it can make the code difficult to read and maintain.
- Q3. Are exceptions can be written in a catch block seperated by commas,?
- Ans.
Yes, multiple exceptions can be caught in a single catch block separated by commas.
Multiple exceptions can be caught in a single catch block separated by commas.

- Q2. What is weak reference? garbage collection in case of such references?
- Ans.
Weak reference is a reference that does not prevent the object from being garbage collected.
Weak references are used to refer to objects that can be garbage collected if there are no strong references to them.
They are typically used in scenarios where you want to hold a reference to an object, but don't want to prevent it from being collected.
Weak references are implemented using weak reference queues, which allow you ...
- Q3. Implementation of singleton pattern and ways of breaking it? singleton pattern implementation in a multithreaded environment?
- Ans.
Singleton pattern ensures a class has only one instance, while allowing global access to it.
Implement a private constructor to prevent direct instantiation.
Create a static method to provide a single point of access to the instance.
Use lazy initialization to create the instance only when needed.
Ensure thread safety in a multithreaded environment using synchronization or double-checked locking.
Breaking the singleton patt...
- Q4. Annotations : @Component vs @service, @Controller vs @RESTController, @Configuration, @Transactional
- Ans.
Annotations used in Spring Framework for defining components and services.
Annotations like @Component, @Service, and @Controller are used for defining components in Spring Framework.
@RestController is used for defining RESTful web services.
@Configuration is used for defining configuration classes.
@Transactional is used for defining transactional methods.
All these annotations help in defining and managing dependencies i
- Q5. Internal implementation of HashSet? Which scenario will generate same hashcode for a HashMap?
- Ans.
HashSet is implemented using a HashMap internally. Same hashcode is generated when two objects have the same value for hashCode() and equals() methods.
HashSet internally uses a HashMap to store its elements.
The hashcode of an object is generated using the hashCode() method.
If two objects have the same value for hashCode() and equals() methods, they will generate the same hashcode.
For example, if two String objects have...
- Q6. What is SQL Cursor? Index? Aggregate Functions examples?
- Ans.
SQL Cursor is a database object used to manipulate data row by row.
Cursor is used to fetch and process data row by row
Index is a database object used to speed up data retrieval
Aggregate functions are used to perform calculations on a set of values
Examples of aggregate functions are SUM, AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN

- Ans.
Generate palindrome string with given length and distinct characters.
Create a char array of length n and fill it with distinct characters.
Loop through the array and add the characters in reverse order to create a palindrome.
Repeat the process until the required number of palindromes are generated.
If k is less than the length of the palindrome, use the first k distinct characters.
- Q8. Given an array with length n , find highest value which occurs same number of times within the array. [3,8,3,2,1,3,2] 3 occurs 3 times output=3. [4,6,7,6,7,5,4,2,4,9,4,1,9] 4 occurs 3 times output=4
- Ans.
Find the highest value that occurs the same number of times within an array.
Iterate through the array and count the occurrences of each value.
Store the counts in a dictionary or hash map.
Find the maximum count and check which value(s) have that count.
Return the highest value among those with the maximum count.
- Q9. Find number of occurrences of a character in string. Provide multiple approaches for the solution and choose the best why? For "string aabcadd output=a3b1c1d2
- Ans.
Count occurrences of a character in a string and output in a specific format.
Use a hash table to store the count of each character.
Loop through the string and update the count in the hash table.
Create the output string using the hash table.
- Q10. Convert String from Camel case to Snake case
- Ans.
Converts a string from Camel case to Snake case.
Loop through the string and check for uppercase letters
Insert an underscore before each uppercase letter
