IPC mechanism in Windows allows communication between processes through shared memory, message passing, and synchronization.
IPC mechanisms in Windows include named pipes, mailslots, shared memory, and sockets.
Named pipes allow communication between processes on the same machine or over a network.
Mailslots are used for one-way interprocess communication.
Shared memory allows processes to share data by mapping a region of...
- Q4. Multi-threading in windows
- Ans.
Multi-threading in Windows allows multiple threads to run concurrently within a single process.
Windows provides APIs like CreateThread and CreateProcess to create and manage threads.
Threads share the same memory space within a process, allowing for efficient communication and resource sharing.
Windows supports both user-mode and kernel-mode threads, with user-mode threads being more lightweight.

(3 Questions)
- Q1. How to check a number is power of 2
- Ans.
To check if a number is a power of 2, we can use bitwise operations.
A power of 2 has only one bit set to 1, so we can use the bitwise AND operator to check if the number is a power of 2.
If n is a power of 2, then n & (n-1) will be 0.
For example, 8 (1000 in binary) is a power of 2, and 8 & 7 (0111 in binary) is 0.
- Q2. Sort a stack without using another data structure
- Ans.
Sort a stack without using another data structure
Use recursion to pop the top element and insert it at the bottom of the remaining stack
Repeat until the stack is sorted in ascending order
Time complexity: O(n^2), space complexity: O(n) due to recursion
- Q3. Check weather array have continuous increasing than decreasing value
- Ans.
Check if array has continuous increasing and decreasing values
Loop through the array and check if each element is greater than the previous one
Once you find the maximum element, check if the remaining elements are in decreasing order
If yes, return true else false

- Q1. How you find loop in a linked list
- Ans.
To find a loop in a linked list, we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.
Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm uses two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other.
If there is a loop in the linked list, the two pointers will eventually meet.
To detect the meeting point, we reset one of the pointers to the head of the linked list and move both pointers at the same speed.
The meeting point is the start of the loop.
- Q2. What is LRU, MRU and LFU
- Ans.
LRU, MRU and LFU are caching algorithms used to manage memory in computer systems.
LRU stands for Least Recently Used and removes the least recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
MRU stands for Most Recently Used and removes the most recently used items from the cache when the cache is full.
LFU stands for Least Frequently Used and removes the least frequently used items from the cache when the cache i...
