Q1. What are oops concepts in java, explain real time scenario
Ans. 
OOPs concepts in Java include inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
• Inheritance allows a subclass to inherit properties and methods from a superclass.

• Polymorphism allows objects to take on multiple forms and behave differently based on their context.

• Encapsulation hides the implementation details of an object and only exposes necessary information.

• Abstraction allows for the creation of abstract class...read more

Q2. Uses of interface, inheritance
Ans. 
Interfaces define contracts for behavior, while inheritance allows for code reuse and polymorphism.
• Interfaces allow for loose coupling and abstraction, enabling multiple implementations of the same behavior.

• Inheritance allows for code reuse and extension of existing classes, reducing code duplication.

• Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were of the same class, simplifying code and i

Q5. Overloading vs overriding, practical uses
Ans. 
Overloading is having multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Overriding is having a method in a subclass with the same name and parameters as a method in the superclass.
• Overloading is used to provide different ways to call a method with different parameters

• Overriding is used to provide a specific implementation of a method in a subclass

• Overloading is resolved at compile-time while overriding is r...read more

Q1. What is HashMap?
Ans. 
HashMap is a data structure that stores key-value pairs and provides constant time complexity for basic operations.
• HashMap allows quick access to values based on their keys

• Keys must be unique and values can be duplicated

• HashMap is not thread-safe and requires synchronization for concurrent access

• Java's HashMap implementation uses hashing to distribute keys across buckets

Q1. Cycle Detection in a Singly Linked List
You have given a Singly Linked List of integers, determine if it forms a cycle or not.
A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the ...read more
Ans. 
The task is to determine if a given singly linked list forms a cycle or not.
• A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.

• To solve this problem, we can use the Floyd's Cycle-Finding Algorithm.

• The algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at a normal pace and the other moving twice as fast.

• If there is a cycle, the fast pointer will eventually catch up to the slow pointer.

• If the fast pointer ...read more

Ans. 
The minimum depth of a binary tree is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
• The minimum depth can be found by performing a breadth-first search (BFS) traversal of the binary tree

• During the BFS traversal, keep track of the current level and increment the depth by 1 for each level

• Stop the BFS traversal when a leaf node is encountered and return the depth as the minim

Ans. 
The problem is to find the intersection of two sorted arrays.
• Use two pointers to iterate through the arrays.

• Compare the elements at the current pointers and move the pointers accordingly.

• If the elements are equal, add it to the intersection array and move both pointers.

• If the element in the first array is smaller, move the first pointer.

• If the element in the second array is smaller, move the second pointer.

• Repeat until...read more

Q3. Operating System Question
What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore
Ans. 
A mutex is a binary semaphore used for mutual exclusion, while a semaphore is a generalized synchronization primitive.
• Mutex is used to protect a critical section of code, allowing only one thread to access it at a time.

• Semaphore is used to control access to a shared resource, allowing multiple threads to access it simultaneously.

• Mutex has ownership, meaning the thread that locks it must unlock it.

• Semaphore does not hav...read more
