Movius Corp Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What are the SOLID principles in software development?
Ans. 
SOLID principles are a set of five design principles in object-oriented programming to make software more maintainable, flexible, and scalable.
• Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) - A class should have only one reason to change.

• Open/Closed Principle (OCP) - Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification.

• Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) - Objects of a superclass should be replaceable with...read more

Q2. What is the difference between the Liskov Substitution Principle and the Interface Segregation Principle?
Ans. 
Liskov Substitution Principle focuses on inheritance while Interface Segregation Principle focuses on interfaces.
• Liskov Substitution Principle states that objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of its subclasses without affecting the program's correctness.

• Interface Segregation Principle states that a client should not be forced to implement interfaces they do not use.

• Liskov Substitution Principle is...read more

Q3. What are computed properties?
Ans. 
Computed properties are properties in Swift that do not store a value directly, but instead provide a getter and an optional setter to retrieve and set their value.
• Computed properties do not have a backing store like stored properties.

• They are used to calculate a value on-the-fly based on other properties or data.

• Example: calculating the area of a square based on its side length.

Q4. What is a retain cycle in programming?
Ans. 
A retain cycle in programming occurs when two objects hold a strong reference to each other, preventing them from being deallocated.
• Retain cycles can lead to memory leaks in iOS development.

• To break a retain cycle, one of the objects involved needs to have a weak reference to the other.

• An example of a retain cycle is when a parent object holds a strong reference to a child object, and the child object holds a strong re...read more

Q5. What is Automatic Reference Counting, and how does it work?
Ans. 
Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) is a memory management feature in iOS development that automatically manages memory by keeping track of references to objects.
• ARC automatically adds and removes retain/release calls to manage memory for objects.

• It helps prevent memory leaks by deallocating objects when they are no longer needed.

• ARC is the default memory management model in Swift and Objective-C.

• Example: var myObject =...read more

Q6. What are the benefits of using Structs over Classes in SwiftUI?
Ans. 
Structs are value types, leading to better performance and memory management in SwiftUI.
• Structs are value types, meaning they are copied when passed around, leading to better performance compared to reference types like classes.

• Structs are immutable by default, making it easier to reason about the state of your app and preventing unexpected changes.

• Structs are more lightweight than classes, which can lead to better mem...read more

Q7. What is the mutating keyword?
Ans. 
The mutating keyword is used in Swift to indicate that a method is allowed to modify the properties of a value type.
• Used in Swift with value types like structs and enums to allow methods to modify their properties

• Prevents compilation error when attempting to modify properties of a value type within a method

• Example: mutating func updateValue(newValue: Int) { self.value = newValue }

Q9. What is the time complexity for finding the longest common prefix in a given array of strings? (to be done in playground)
Ans. 
The time complexity for finding the longest common prefix in an array of strings is O(n*m), where n is the number of strings and m is the length of the longest string.
• Iterate through the characters of the first string and compare them with the corresponding characters of the other strings.

• The worst-case scenario is when all strings have the same prefix, resulting in O(n*m) time complexity.

• Example: For strings ['apple',...read more

Q10. What will be the output of the following Swift code: \n\nstruct s1Struct {\n var abc = "Hello"\n \n func change() {\n abc = "bye"\n }\n}\n\nvar a = s1Struct()\na.change()\nprint(a.abc)
Ans. 
The output will be 'bye'.
• The code defines a struct 's1Struct' with a property 'abc' initialized to 'Hello'.

• It also has a method 'change()' that changes the value of 'abc' to 'bye'.

• An instance 'a' of 's1Struct' is created and its 'change()' method is called.

• Finally, the value of 'abc' in the instance 'a' is printed, which will be 'bye'.

Q2. How you handle reference cycle?
Ans. 
Handle reference cycles by using weak or unowned references to break the strong reference cycle.
• Use weak or unowned references to break strong reference cycles

• Weak references do not keep a strong hold on the instance they refer to

• Unowned references assume that the instance they refer to will never be nil
