Q1. What are Little Endian and Big Endian in the context of computer architecture?
Ans. 
Little Endian and Big Endian refer to the order in which bytes are stored in computer memory.
• Little Endian stores the least significant byte first, while Big Endian stores the most significant byte first.

• Little Endian is commonly used in x86 architecture, while Big Endian is used in architectures like SPARC and PowerPC.

• Endianness can affect data transmission between systems with different byte orders.

Q2. Write a program to determine if your system is little-endian or big-endian.
Ans. 
Program to determine system's endianness
• Check the endianness by storing a multi-byte integer and checking the byte order

• Use bitwise operations to extract the least significant byte

• If the least significant byte is at the lowest memory address, it's little-endian

• If the least significant byte is at the highest memory address, it's big-endian

Q3. What is the volatile keyword in programming?
Ans. 
The volatile keyword in programming is used to indicate that a variable's value can be changed unexpectedly.
• Volatile keyword is used in multithreaded programming to prevent compiler optimizations on variables that can be changed by other threads.

• It tells the compiler not to cache the variable's value in a register, ensuring that every access is made to the variable's memory location.

• Commonly used in embedded systems pr...read more

Q4. What is the use of a function pointer in C?
Ans. 
Function pointers in C are used to store the address of functions, allowing for dynamic function calls and callbacks.
• Function pointers can be used to implement callbacks in event-driven programming.

• They can be used to switch between different functions at runtime.

• Function pointers are commonly used in implementing data structures like function pointers in an array of function pointers.

• Example: void (*funcPtr)(int) = &a...read more

Q5. Design a data structure to implement multi-threading.
Ans. 
Design a data structure for multi-threading
• Use a thread-safe queue to manage tasks for each thread

• Implement a lock or semaphore to control access to shared resources

• Consider using condition variables for synchronization

• Use atomic operations for shared variables to prevent race conditions

Q6. What does a kernel do?
Ans. 
The kernel is the core component of an operating system that manages system resources and provides a bridge between software and hardware.
• Manages system resources such as CPU, memory, and I/O devices

• Provides a bridge between software applications and hardware components

• Handles tasks such as process scheduling, memory management, and device drivers

• Controls communication between hardware and software layers

Q7. What is a storage class in programming?
Ans. 
A storage class in programming defines the scope and lifetime of variables.
• Storage classes include auto, register, static, and extern.

• Auto variables are created when a function is called and destroyed when the function ends.

• Register variables are stored in CPU registers for faster access.

• Static variables retain their value between function calls.

• Extern variables are declared outside of any function and can be accessed ...read more

Q1. Find a duplicate in a String OOPs concept Java 8 features
Ans. 
The question is about finding a duplicate in a string.
• Convert the string into an array of characters

• Create a HashSet to store unique characters

• Iterate through the array and check if each character is already present in the HashSet

• If a character is already present, it is a duplicate

Q1. Java OOPs concept Comparator vs Comparable Streams Lambda Expression
Ans. 
Comparator vs Comparable, Streams, Lambda Expression
• Comparator and Comparable are interfaces used for sorting objects in Java

• Comparator is used for custom sorting logic, while Comparable is used for natural sorting order

• Streams are a sequence of elements that can be processed in parallel or sequentially

• Lambda expressions are used to write concise and functional code in Java

Q1. System Desing of Network Management System
Ans. 
A network management system is designed to monitor and control network devices and ensure their efficient operation.
• The system should have a centralized dashboard to display real-time network status and performance metrics.

• It should support automated network discovery and device configuration management.

• The system should provide alerts and notifications for network events and failures.

• It should have the ability to gene...read more

Q1. Solve a js problem to traverse a directory. Simple question
Ans. 
Traverse a directory in JavaScript using Node.js to list files and subdirectories.
• Use the 'fs' module to interact with the file system: const fs = require('fs');

• Use 'fs.readdir' to read the contents of a directory: fs.readdir(path, callback);

• Recursively call the function for subdirectories to traverse deeply.

• Example: function traverseDir(dir) { fs.readdir(dir, (err, files) => { ... }); }

Q2. DSA ques on graph
Ans. 
Graph algorithms are essential for solving problems related to networks, paths, and connectivity in data structures.
• Graphs can be represented using adjacency lists or matrices.

• Common algorithms include Depth-First Search (DFS) and Breadth-First Search (BFS).

• Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path in weighted graphs.

• Topological sorting is used for scheduling tasks based on dependencies.
