Q1. What is Java , what are the four pillars of java
Ans. 
Java is a popular programming language known for its platform independence and object-oriented approach.
• Java is platform-independent, meaning it can run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

• Object-oriented programming is a key feature of Java, allowing for code reusability and modularity

• The four pillars of Java are: Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Polymorphism

• Inheritance allows a class to inherit...read more

Q3. What is recursion, write a code for it
Ans. 
Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem.
• Recursion involves breaking down a problem into smaller subproblems and solving them recursively.

• A base case is needed to stop the recursion and prevent infinite loops.

• Example: Factorial calculation using recursion - function factorial(n) { return n === 0 ? 1 : n * factorial(n-1); }

• Arrays can store primitive data types and objects, while ArrayList can only store objects.

• Arrays require a specified size at the time of declaration, while ArrayList can dynamically resize it...read more

Q1. What is the difference between normal and arrow functions
Ans. 
Arrow functions are more concise and have a lexical 'this' binding compared to normal functions.
• Arrow functions do not have their own 'this' keyword, they inherit it from the parent scope.

• Arrow functions do not have their own 'arguments' object.

• Arrow functions cannot be used as constructors with 'new'.

• Arrow functions are more concise and have implicit return when no curly braces are used.

Q4. Difference between forEach and Map
Ans. 
forEach is used to iterate over an array and perform a function on each element, while map creates a new array by applying a function to each element.
• forEach does not return a new array, while map does

• forEach does not modify the original array, while map creates a new array

• forEach is used for side effects, while map is used for transformation

• Example: forEach - array.forEach(item => console.log(item)), map - const newAr

Q2. What is object oriented programming?
Ans. 
Object oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code.
• Objects are instances of classes, which define the structure and behavior of the objects.

• Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are key principles of object oriented programming.

• Example: Inheritance allows a subclass to inherit attributes and methods from a superclass.
