  • Q1. Coding question on dll and bits
  • Q2. Detect and remove loop in ll
  • Ans. 

    To detect and remove a loop in a linked list, we can use Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.

    • Use two pointers, slow and fast, to traverse the linked list

    • If there is a loop, the fast pointer will eventually meet the slow pointer

    • Once the loop is detected, reset one of the pointers to the head and move both pointers at the same pace until they meet again to find the start of the loop

  • Q1. What is virtual function?
  • Ans. 

    A virtual function is a function in a base class that is declared using the keyword 'virtual' and can be overridden by a function in a derived class.

    • Virtual functions allow a derived class to provide a specific implementation of a function that is already defined in a base class.

    • They enable polymorphism, where a pointer to a base class can be used to call a function in a derived class.

  • Q5. What is polymorphism
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism is the ability of a single function or method to operate on different types of data.

    • Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

    • It enables a single interface to be used for different data types.

    • Examples include method overloading and method overriding in object-oriented programming.
