  • Q3. What is promise
  • Ans. 

    A promise is an object representing the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation.

    • Promises are used to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

    • They can be in one of three states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.

    • Promises can be chained using .then() to handle success and .catch() to handle errors.

    • Example: new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => resolve('Done!'), 1000); });

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. What is promise.all
  • Ans. 

    promise.all is a method in JavaScript that takes an array of promises and returns a single promise that resolves when all of the input promises have resolved.

    • Used to handle multiple asynchronous operations at once

    • Returns a single promise that resolves when all input promises have resolved

    • If any of the input promises is rejected, the returned promise is rejected with the reason of the first rejected promise

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What is callback
  • Ans. 

    A callback is a function passed as an argument to another function to be executed later.

    • Callbacks are commonly used in asynchronous programming to handle tasks that take time to complete.

    • They are often used in event handling, timers, and AJAX requests.

    • Callbacks can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on when they are executed.

    • Example: setTimeout(callback, 1000) will execute the callback function after 1 second.

  • Q1. Array Traversal using topological sort algorithm
  • Ans. 

    Topological sort can be used to traverse an array of strings in a specific order.

    • Topological sort is used to order elements based on their dependencies.

    • In the context of array traversal, we can use topological sort to determine the order in which strings should be processed.

    • For example, if strings represent tasks and their dependencies, we can use topological sort to ensure tasks are executed in the correct order.

  • Q2. Right most node in almost complete bst
  • Ans. 

    The rightmost node in an almost complete binary search tree is the last node in the last level of the tree.

    • In an almost complete binary search tree, all levels are completely filled except possibly for the last level, which is filled from left to right.

    • To find the rightmost node, start at the root and traverse the tree by always going to the right child until reaching the last level.

    • The rightmost node will be the last
